A Gift from Glenys

“Earth-Gaia is not separate from Universe-Gaia. Earth is immersed in Universe. There is no seam that separates Earth-Gaia from Universe-Gaia … She is One. There is no ”up” and “down”. There is no “out there”. Gaia is “in here”, as much as anywhere, or She is nowhere. Gaia can be known, felt, in any single articulation of Herself – within any Self.

We are within Her Creativity – participant.

Glenys Livingstone has her Ph.D. in Social Ecology and has been on a Goddess path since 1979.  She is the author of PaGaian Cosmology: Re-inventing Earth-based Goddess Religion, which fuses the indigenous traditions of Old Europe with scientific theory, feminism, and a poetic relationship with place. This book was an outcome of her doctoral work in Social Ecology.

She was born and lives in country Australia, where she has facilitated seasonal ceremony for decades, taught classes, and mentored apprentices.  Glenys has taught a year-long on-line course entitled "Celebrating Goddess and Cosmogenesis in the Wheel of the Year" for both hemispheres and produced PaGaian Cosmology meditation CDs.

Her latest book A Poiesis of the Creative Cosmos: Celebrating Her within PaGaian Sacred Ceremony (2013) documents the synthesis of her work over the past decades.  She is also the author of the children’s book My Name is Medusa, and co-editor of the anthology Re-visioning Medusa: from Monster to Divine Wisdom.  Glenys has contributed to some 11 anthologies including Goddesses in World Culture (edited by Patricia Monaghan, 2011), Foremothers of the Women’s Spirituality Movement (edited by Miriam Robbins Dexter and Vicki Noble, 2015), and Goddesses in Myth, History and Culture (edited by Mary Ann Beavis and Helen Hye-Sook Hwang, 2018). Glenys also co-facilitated the Mago Pilgrimage to Korea with Dr. Helen Hye-Sook Hwang in 2014.
