PaGaian Winter Solstice 2009

at Her PaGaian MoonCourt, Bru-na-BigTree, Blue Mountains, NSW Australia. The Poetry is largely from the book "PaGaian Cosmology" available on-line at http://pagaian.org.

I acknowledge the work and inspiration of Starhawk, Thomas Berry, Brian Swimme and Connie Barlow, in this composition. The name "Tiamat" (meaning "Goddess Mother") used for the supernova that birthed our Solar system, was the name given to Her by Thomas Berry (see his book, co-authored with Brian Swimme, "The Universe Story"), though the celebration of Tiamat in Winter Solstice ritual was inspired by Connie Barlow - in her book "Green Space, Green Time". Tiamat is originally the name of the ancient Babylonian Goddess - and I also tell something of her story in "PaGaian Cosmology" p.73-74.

The music "Mundus Vergens" by Pascal Languirand, from his CD "Gregorian Waves" is used with his permission: http://www.myspace.com/pascallanguirand

How did Anunaki get in this video? 01:07 Just wondering...

[pagaian]

@Sarma1188 - must be a mistaken identity ... it is not Anunaki - I don't know that person.

cheers

Glenys, I love the book PaGaian Cosmology! The rituals easily adaptable for the northern hemisphere too. But it's so much more than the rites...wow the lessons therein, the information...I don't know what to say except I am so glad you shared this with the world! And you have introduced me to Thomas Berry, I am now reading "The Sacred Universe" and I have Dreaming the Earth, Universe Story and The Great Work to get through. I thank you so much for your beautiful vids and work. BB

Some candles burn more brightly than others: Glenys and Taffy you are lights in the dark.

@777tone888 the stars tell the story of whatever we personally interpret. some people look at the stars and see a beautiful constellation of life and love, others may see a story of betrayal and distrust, and most see just a random mess of lights on a blanket of darkness.

Just beautiful Glenys. I look forward to starting your on-line PaGaian Cosmology year-long Seasonal Ritual course – Celebrating Cosmogenesis. Blessed Be.

That is one of the most beautiful ritual/sacred rooms. Clay, candles, windows, symbols; just breathtaking.
