Almost everyone who has lost someone has done it. A few quiet words at a graveside, a name spoken into the dark before sleep, a silent "I hope you're at peace" while washing the dishes. Most of us do it without deciding to, and most of us wonder afterwards whether anything we said actually went anywhere.
For most of my adult life, anyone who spoke openly about non-human intelligence risked being quietly filed under "crank". That changed on 26 July 2023, when a former intelligence officer testified before a US House oversight subcommittee and, under oath, described what he had been told about a decades-long crash retrieval programme...
Many people who describe themselves as spiritually sensitive tell the same story. They grew up in a home that did not make sense. There was shouting, coldness or chaos, or love that was handed out on strict conditions. Years later...
For fourteen centuries, most people in the Western world could tell you one thing about Mary Magdalene. She had been a prostitute. Painters gave her loose red hair, streaming tears, an ointment jar and sometimes a skull...
Most root chakra advice sounds the same. Stand barefoot on the grass. Picture red light at the base of your spine. Eat root vegetables. Repeat "I am safe" until you believe it...
Ask a room full of people about tarot cards and you will get two completely different reactions. Half will treat the deck like a harmless journaling tool. The other half will refuse to have one in the house, convinced that a stack of illustrated cardboard is somehow a doorway to something dark. Both reactions usually come from the same place: nobody ever actually explained what tarot is, where it came from, or what makes it different from something that genuinely does carry risk, like a...
Twice a year the Earth reaches a kind of pause in its breathing. The sun sits directly over the equator, neither hemisphere is leaning toward it, and for a brief moment the whole planet receives light on equal terms. This week is one of those moments. The September equinox arrives at 00:06 UTC on September 23, 2026, which means readers in the Americas will feel it on the evening of September 22, while Europe, Africa and Asia meet it in the early hours of the 23rd.
Ask most people in the West what Buddhism looks like and you will get a remarkably uniform picture: a robed figure, eyes half closed, sitting in serene stillness somewhere high and quiet. It is a lovely image, but it hides something far more interesting. Buddhism is not one voice. It is a conversation that has been running for about two and a half thousand years, and the participants have never fully agreed.
Most religious traditions treat demons as a lost cause. They are painted as a separate species of monster, locked into an eternal war against God, doomed to endless torment with no way out. It is a tidy, frightening picture, and it has shaped Western imagination for centuries.
If you have spent any time sitting in stillness, watching thoughts rise and pass without grabbing onto them, you already know something that most Reiki students take years to arrive at. The witness behind the mind and the energy that moves through the body are not separate projects.
