034: PaGaian Cosmology and the Future of Goddess Spirituality with Dr. Glenys Livingstone

Today I’m really pleased to welcome one of our foremothers of Goddess Spirituality, Dr.Glenys Livingstone, to the show. Dr. Livingstone 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. Her new book A Poiesis of the Creative Cosmos: Celebrating Her within PaGaian Sacred Ceremony documents the synthesis of her work over the past decades. She is 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 eleven other 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 my Mary Ann Beavis and Helen Hye-Sook Hwang (2018). In 2014, Glenys co-facilitated the Mago Pilgrimage to Korea with Dr. Helen Hye-Sook Hwang. She produced PaGaian Cosmology Meditations CDs and teaches a year-long on-line course "Celebrating Goddess and Cosmogenesis in the Wheel of the Year". SUPPORT: You can purchase a copy Glenys’ new book, A Poiesis of the Creative Cosmos, through Girl God Books or buy a signed copy directly from Glenys on her website at pagaian.org/a-poiesis-of-the-creative-cosmos/signed. Although Glenys’ first book, PaGaian Cosmology: Re-inventing Earth-based Goddess Religion, is available for free on her website, you can also purchase a softcover copy from Amazon or an eBook from iUniverse so royalty proceeds go to Glenys. The pagaian.org website also has PaGaian Cosmology meditation CDs for sale, links to buy Glenys’ My Name is Medusa book, and other PaGaian goodies.
