La Magaria, Italian for ‘witchcraft,’ is the observation of nature, the bridge between the physical and spiritual, and the reverence of the Divine Feminine (Gaia) within everyone, explains Costanzo. She describes the exhibition as “the embracing of La Magaria and the divine inner spark.”

With his latest, Dawkins continues the legacy of Carl Sagan, though of course, in a more combative mode.

‘Life has to be a planetary phenomenon. – Dr James Ephraim Lovelock.’

Friends, Romans, genetically engineered suprahumans, lend me your ears. The effects of climate change are being newly interpreted and depicted in a unique exhibition at Miller White Fine Arts in South Dennis.Wait, genetically engineered suprahumans? It sounds like something out of a movie … and, in fact, it practically is. “Saving Gaia: The Seven Thunders,” opening Nov. 4, is based on a sci-fi film script written more than 20 years ago by South Yarmouth’s Rory Marcus,

In the 1970’s James Lovelock, a NASA planetary scientist, proposed and has since documented the theory of Gaia. The theory states that once Earth had produced dominant populations of prokaryotic organisms (Bacteria and Archaebacteria), those organisms through their metabolisms began to regulate atmospheric composition, ocean chemistry, mineral cycling and biological diversity. These processes are the nature of Gaia. This was initiated over 3.8 billion years ago.

“Pagans were already discovering and uncovering the power of evoking and communicating with Nature as a living, personal, and autonomous being,” writes Graham Harvey in Contemporary Paganism. “The scientists’ Gaia resonated with Pagan inclinations about the nature of deity and seemed to suggest appropriate means of building relationships.”

Krzewinski managed to snag a bronze medal for his one of a kind artistic creation titled “Lady Gaia/ Mother Earth,” a complex, visually stunning piece made up of 30 pounds of pure chocolate, standing over 3-feet high.

“Rather than try to save Gaia, perhaps the most important thing we have to do is to save ourselves and, above all, our ability to think, to understand, to value wisdom, and to process information.”

Researchers at the University of Exeter have found that a group of ocean bacteria (pictured) called Pelagibacterale form a feedback loop that helps to keep the planet cool.

Political theorist James Tully speaks at 7 p.m. Wednesday in UVic’s Bob Wright Centre.

All this is embodied in the religion and worship of the Earth Goddess Gaia, who dwells in and is embodied by a sentient planet Earth. The Religious and Political Environmentalists are Her high priests and law givers; Wilderness is their Totem.
