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

Beltaine/Samhain @ EarthGaia November 2024 C.E.

In our everyday sacred journey around Mother Sun we move into the Seasonal Moment of Beltaine/Samhain, as these Seasons are named in many Old European traditions. It is the cross-quarter transition between Equinox and Solstice. In the Southern Hemisphere it is the transition into High Spring/Beltaine, towards the Summer Solstice, and in the Northern Hemisphere it […]

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”) […]

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 […]

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 […]
