The World of the Goddess – Marija Gimbutas

In this video (1990) Marija Gimbutas herself speaks of her work, and it’s wonderful to see and hear her enthusiasm. PaGaian Cosmology, and most other current Goddess research and practice, is indebted to the work Marija Gimbutas. The World of the Goddess – Marija Gimbutas  Then there is Signs Out of Time – the documentary about […]

Lammas – the Sacred Consuming

Lammas may be summarised as the Season that marks and celebrates the Sacred Consuming, the Harvest of Life: as it is in PaGaian Cosmology. Many Indigenous cultures have recognised the grain itself, or any food, as Mother … Corn Mother being one of those images – She who feeds the community, the world, with Her […]

Seasons of the Light

           As Summer draws to a close in the Southern Hemisphere, we are leaving behind the light part of the year’s cycle around the Sun, the Summer Solstice in late December being the point of that interchange. The lightest quarter of the year anywhere on our planet is in the period […]

Summer Solstice Poetry

Summer Solstice is primarily about fulfilment of purpose – as Sun reaches Her peak in the annual cycle, as the fruit ripens, as the rose/flower comes to full blossom: what has been born and come into being, finds its fulfilment … that is the idea – a good one if it may be achieved. Thomas […]

Solstice – Summer/Winter @ EarthGaia

It is the Season of Solstice – Earth’s tilt in relationship with Sun leans us to the furthest point, either South or North: see Her there in your mind’s eye, where She is in Her orbit … For the Southern Hemisphere December Solstice is the awesomeness of the return to the dark, the turn out of […]

Conceptions of Samhain

Conceptions of Samhain by Glenys Livingstone Ph.D. as published in Goddess Alive! Issue 26 Autumn/Winter 2014   Samhain preparation and ceremony at my place begin with this breath meditation: Breathe deep … and as you let go of your breath, follow it down, and notice the Space between your breaths. Don’t hold it, just notice it. […]
