Glenys Livingstone PhD was born and lives in Australia where she has facilitated seasonal ceremony for decades, taught classes and mentored apprentices. She has published four books with Girl God Books and contributed to numerous GGB and Mago anthologies. […]

Equinox – Spring/Autumn @ Earth-Gaia September 2024 C.E.

Our Planet – “Earth” or “Gaia” as we may name Her (and both are Goddess names[i]), comes to one of Her annual points of balance in Her orbit around Sun on September 22nd 12:44 UTC (that’s 22:44 East Coast Australia, where I am). Other global times can be found at  archaeoastronomy.com. This is one of two […]

A Spelling and Con-spiring for Imbolc

The Imbolc Moment has just passed in the Southern Hemisphere (on August 7th), but it is still the Season … and the intention may be so in every moment wherever you are, and as a new day breaks around the globe. (a 3 minute video)

Imbolc/Lammas @ EarthGaia August 2024 C.E.

With the passing of the Solstice Season, our Planet enters into the waxing light Seasons in the Southern Hemisphere and the waxing dark Seasons in the Northern Hemisphere. These first transition Seasonal Moments after Solstice are frequently named in Old European tradition as Imbolc and Lammas respectively. We as Earth cross the midpoint (the “cross-quarter”) […]

Packing it Up after Winter Solstice – Entering Larger New Being

As I clear and put away the decorations after Winter Solstice this year, I feel it as perhaps the ending of the decades of the Winter Solstice ceremonies I have created and facilitated. I have gathered and created these decorations in those years. I feel the words “I am packing it up.”  I am an old […]

Solstice @ EarthGaia June 2024 C.E.

Earth enters the Season of Solstice at this time in Her orbit around our Mother Sun. It is one of two Solstices for the year, the other being in December. The Southern Hemisphere enters the magic of the Winter Solstice fullness of the dark, and out of that fullness of darkness, the turn/ return to the growing […]

A Samhain Ceremony

The purpose of the video is for ceremony, and I suggest pausing the video where it suits you, to add your own processing, embellishments and/or your own drum, percussion and voice wherever you please. I have made short spaces in the video where it could be paused. For more full participation in the ceremony, you […]

Samhain/Beltaine @ EarthGaia May 2024 C.E.

As Earth’s tilt moves us into the Seasons of Samhain and Beltaine – as they are commonly named in Old European traditions, the dark part of the day continues to grow and dominate in the Southern Hemisphere, and the light part of the day continues to grow and dominate in the Northern Hemisphere. The actual […]

We Go In and Out the Windows: We are Old, so Old

For Samhain ceremony in PaGaian tradition, there is a place where we remember old selves we have been, some of our personal transformation journey, which may also include one’s participation in any particular moment of the evolutionary story of transformation. To facilitate this process we play a game I played as a child, of “In […]

Appropriating Her Maternal Creativity

As poet Robin Morgan asks in The Network of the Imaginary Mother: What have they dared, Sucking at man’s wounds for wine,  Celebrating his flesh as food? …  Who have they dared to hang on that spine instead and then deny, across millennia? … She goes on and proclaims: … this cup, this chalice, this primordial […]
