PaGaian Samhain 2009

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

I acknowledge with gratitude the inspiration of, and the quote of some phrases from, a section of Robin Morgan's great poem "The Network of the Imaginary Mother" in her book "Lady of the Beasts" - http://www.robinmorgan.us/robin_morgan_bookDetails.asp?ProductID=20. I also acknowledge with gratitude the ovarian teachings of Starhawk in her book "The Spiral Dance" (http://www.starhawk.org/writings/spiraldance.html) which has provided a basis for my own understandings over the years.

The music used is "The Shores of the High Priestess" from DREAMS by Sky, P.O.Box 4401, Santa Fe, NM 87502, USA.: http://www.newagemusicbysky.com This music has facilitated some Samhain ritual processes over the years.

Note re the order of the elements at the end of the video - Air, Earth, Fire, Water: it is the order in which they are addressed upon the opening of the circle (that is, at the conclusion of the ritual) ... in "clockwise" direction (opposite the Sunwise) - in accord with my regional place on the planet, which is Southern Hemisphere East Coast Australia.

Beautiful...It's great to visually see just as us in the northern hemisphere are just passing Beltane, those in the southern hemisphere are just by Samhain. We are at great distance, but share much in our appreciation of the seasons.
