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.”

Bart Everson's insight:
“Gaia is my ethic. We are all a part of her. She is the evolutionary force. Gaia is the real driver that runs our lives.” – Stanton Englehart
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,
Has the Gaia theory changed for you since you formulated it? No, it hasn’t. It came into my mind quite suddenly in America at Jet Propulsion Lab in 1965. Well, that’s over 50 years ago, and it’s been argued about an amazing amount. But it hasn’t changed. It stays the same.
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.
You cannot tell me there is no God. Not my bible God but another one, a spirit God, of Gaia, the earth. Many a time I have walked with my God. Sometimes with elation, my heart singing and toneless words coming out of my mouth. And sometimes I walk with shame, seeing what we have done to my earth, my Gaia.
Bart Everson's insight:
A heartfelt meditation from a retired Unitarian minister.
“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.”
“When I work, I usually compose at a piano. When I wrote this one, I had this picture of a forest or a jungle with big trees and the first thing that came to mind was earth and Gaia is another term for that,” Key said. “There’s this Gaian hypothesis that the earth will reclaim all the man-made structures after we go away. The piece came from that.”
Decades ago James Lovelock constructed a principle called the Gaia hypothesis, contending that a biosphere teeming with life works together with inorganic matter to self-regulate conditions for maintaining a livable planet.
Environmentalism has gone too far; renewable energy is a disaster; scares about pesticides and chemicals are horribly overdone; no, the planet is not going…
Sometimes an art exhibit comes along and it just makes sense to showcase, said Lindsey Giese-Juarez, executive director of River Arts, Inc. That was the case for the gallery’s newest
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.
Bart Everson's insight:
I've heard Gaia theory could lull people into complacency but I've never seen it deployed that way — until now.
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.
Bart Everson's insight:
In this polemic, the author argues that protecting wilderness in Utah would be "the sacrifice of the infidel to the Goddess Gaia."
