A Southern Hemisphere Wheel of the Year

To Be is to Be Related

The entrance into traditional PaGaian Summer Solstice ceremony is with this initial part of the Breath Meditation:  Breathe deep, and sink into the weight of your body – feel Earth holding you. This is how She holds you – feel your weight, Earth holding you. With this same power Earth is held in orbit around […]
