In Lammas ceremony as it has been done in PaGaian tradition over some decades, each participant has been invited by Dark Ancient Creative and Compassionate One to make a dedication to Deep Self.

Seeing Her Land: the Twin Fires of Beltaine

Once cast from the sun, light streams onto planet Earth like liquid. It freely enters us as both photon and wave. In daylight, we ingest billions of photons during every open-eyed moment. As waves, light vibrates into us. It is transduced, within several layers of retinal tissue, into electrobiochemical pulses surging deeply into the tissue […]
