Equinox @ EarthGaia March 2024 C.E.

The Seasonal Moment of Equinox @ EarthGaia as our Planet may be named,[i] will occur March 20th at 3:06 UTC (that’s “Universal Time” as it is named – measured at Greenwich England). Equinox is a moment of balance of dark and light for the Planet, when the dark and the light in the South and in the […]

womens-spirituality.org – some foremothers

“Women’s Spirituality emerged as a major component of the “second wave” of the women’s liberation movement in the 70’s and 80’s. On this site you will meet some of the Foremothers of that emergence, many of whom are actively continuing and evolving their work today. They are scholars, artists, activists, authors, teachers, performers and ritualists. […]

Triple Moon in Her Southern Hemisphere Presence

This how Moon appears to Southern Hemisphere people. For Her first sliver in the evening Western sky as New Moon – Young One, She curves to the left. For Her last sliver in the early morning Eastern sky as Old Moon – Crone, She curves to the right. We all the world over apparently see […]

A Lammas Ceremony

This video (16:45 minutes) was created with a collage of footage and photos from the recent Lammas ceremony I facilitated at my place in Wakka Wakka Country, South East Queensland Australia, and from previous Lammas ceremonies in MoonCourt over the decades. The script for this Lammas/Late Summer ceremony is offered in Chapter 10 of my […]

A Southern Hemisphere Wheel of the Year

I was born in the Southern Hemisphere – in the Great South Land of Australia – and as a white Western European girl child.  Most of the texts and graphics explaining the Cosmos to an Australian and white child were (and still often are) drawn from the Northern Hemisphere perspective. The Moon in her phases were […]

Lammas/Imbolc Season @ EarthGaia February 2024 C.E.

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

A Summer Solstice Ceremony

This video (about 25 minutes) is a collage of footage from a homely Summer Solstice ceremony in December 2023 (as it is in Southern Hemisphere) with my partner Robert Taffy Seaborne, and photos from past Summer Solstice ceremonies in MoonCourt over the years, with my voiceover – and some music added in places. The script […]

It is a Cosmology: about a Place, this Event, not a Theism of any Kind

In regard to PaGaian cosmology: it is not a ‘theism’ of any kind – not an ‘a-theism’ nor a ‘pan-theism’ or a ‘panen-theism’: nor do I describe it as a ‘thealogy,’ though some may. It is about a Place – this Cosmos, this Earth – not a Deity. I prefer the term “Cosmology”: it is a study […]

December Solstice 2023 – Summer/Winter

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 June. For the Southern Hemisphere December Solstice is the awesomeness of the Summer fullness and peaking of the light, and the turn /return to the growing dark […]

Beltaine/Samhain @ EarthGaia November 2023 C.E.

As our planet Earth, and we Her inhabitants, orbit Mother Sun in our everyday sacred journey,[i] we move into the Seasonal Moment of Beltaine/Samhain, the cross-quarter transition between Equinox and Solstice. In the Southern Hemisphere it is the transition into High Spring (or Beltaine, as it may be named) towards the Summer Solstice, and in the Northern […]
