This is a morning in early winter, at Bealtaine Cottage in the west of Ireland.
On this Sunday, the twentieth day of November, I awoke to frost, clear skies and that bitter cold signalling immersion in Winter.
Bealtaine Cottage didn’t always look like this…you can see how it once looked at the bottom of this page…
Twelve years ago it looked quite different.
The monoculture of meat production had brought the land low.
Mother Earth was slowly dying.
The air was silent.
This morning you can see for yourself the beauty brought back to the land through Goddess Permaculture.
What is Goddess Permaculture, I hear you ask?
It is simply this…to recognise the Goddess in all life and honour her beauty and abundance, living as close to the Great Mother, Goddess Gaia, as one possibly can.
To understand the Divine Feminine as the source of all life.
To honour the life force of Mother Earth.
To not just believe, but to understand that there is a way back to a beautiful Earth!
You don’t need qualifications to restore Mother Earth…you need to open your heart and feel deep compassion for her loss…
Now we come to the end of this series of images taken this morning, you will find the images I snapped twelve years ago, when the Goddess lay buried deep within herself, hidden by patriarchal abuse and greed!

Ooops nails got in the say… the Good LIFE!
Hi Collette! This place of yours is sooo so beautiful! I just love coming here and onto The Good Live and seeing all that you are doing. Well, I could not wait one more minute to share the good news with you! We got our house, and our land!! It’s not a ton of land, only 1.5 acres, but still it’s all ours to do what we want to do with it. I really wanted to share it with you, so here is the link. I can’t wait until this spring when I can start planting here. I really want to know more about your “no dig” planting. Is that just raised beds?

Colette, you are such a friend to us all helping us to connect with the Goddess. I have just spent last evening catching up with so many posts that I had not had time to look at so that was a Bealtaine Cottage Fest! Last night you played some beautiful music and you said you would give the link but I couldn’t find it – maybe you forgot. I think the musician’s name was Jan Costello and you said he was Italian? Please let me know where I can get a cd because I couldn’t find him on Youtube. Blessings xxxx
There’s alink below this video…and listen to the birds singing along to Gian!
Interestingly the cottage also looks almost dead in the old photos. And now it too is full of life and love. Astounding change.
I’m still not seeing a link for this lovely music?
Warm blessings.
Sorry…so busy I totally forgot…it’s up now!
