Podcasts about Alchemy

Alchemy has a reputation for grand gestures. A pinch of grave-moss, a vial of moon-condensed dew, a hair from something that used to be a person, all tipped into a vessel (usually an ornate iron cauldron) at once with great ceremony, to the delight of the audience or client. I want to be very clear with you: this is not alchemy. This is theatre, and theatre does not require you to have functioning eyebrows or both your eyes left in your head after the dust settles.Every reagent you will work with in this course has a nature. A temperament, if you like the poetic word for it, though I prefer tolerance. Wolfsbane ash wants heat, but slowly, and in the presence of something binding, or it does not steep, it seizes. Quicksilver is patient with almost everything except itself. Two measures of it in the same vessel will fight for dominance rather than combine, and the vessel, and the hands holding it, generally lose that argument. You are not required to memorise every tolerance in the first month. You are required to accept, as an article of faith until you can verify it yourself, that they exist, and that ignoring them is not boldness. It is arithmetic you have chosen not to do.There are three guiding questions you should ask yourself before anything touches your mixing bowl. Write these down, underline them if you must, tattoo them on your skin if you cannot remember them.What does this reagent want to react with, and in what order? Sequence is not a suggestion. Half of you will be tempted to treat a recipe like a shopping list, tossed in together because it is faster. It is faster. It is also how we no longer have an East Wing.How much, precisely, and why that amount? "A bit more couldn't hurt" is the last sentence most aspiring potion makers will utter before they met their god. I would highly recommend you worship one of the nicer ones that are sympathetic to clumsiness. A reagent that behaves at one measure may not behave at three. This is not a linear art. Do not treat it as one.What is your escape, if this goes wrong anyway? Every working bench in this facility has a water trough, a smothering cloth, and a door you can reach in five steps. Four if you're particularly fast. I will ask you to locate all three before I let you light a burner. This is not paranoia. This is the entire reason our particular school of knowledge has survived long enough to have someone teach it.I want to be clear that I am not asking you to be timid. Alchemy rewards curiosity more than almost any other discipline, and I would rather teach a room of the reckless than a room of the incurious. The reckless, at least, can be taught caution. What I am asking is that your experimentation be deliberate. Change one variable at a time. Record what you changed. Small batches before large ones. A thimble of a new combination will tell you everything a cauldron full would, at a fraction of the risk.The reagents do not care how confident you feel. They only care what you actually put in the vessel, in what order, and in what amount. Respect the proportion, and the discipline will, eventually, respect you back.- Lecture Notes On the Discipline of Reagent Craft for First-Year Alchemical Theory by Professor Viktoria VoleIf you're still wanting to get Jarren's Outpost Board Game you can right here!

Kava has been praised, feared, celebrated, and misunderstood. So what's the real story behind this remarkable plant?Kava (Piper methysticum) has a reputation that's hard to ignore. Some people swear by it for easing tension and helping them unwind, while others know it only through headlines about safety concerns and controversy. In this episode, herbalist and author Rachelle Robinett joins me to separate fact from fiction and explore why this traditional Pacific Island herb has remained such a beloved ally for thousands of years.Together, we dive into kava's remarkable ability to relax the body while keeping the mind surprisingly clear, unpack where the concerns about liver toxicity actually came from, and explore thoughtful questions about responsible herbalism, sustainability, and what it really means to work with sacred plants. Along the way, Rachelle reveals how herbalism can become so much more than "an herb for a symptom"—it can fundamentally change how we relate to the natural world.Rachelle also shares her recipe for Kava “Old-Fashioned” Mocktail, a sophisticated herbal drink that's perfect for winding down at the end of the day. You can download your beautifully illustrated recipe card here.By the end of this episode, you'll know:► Why kava has earned a permanent place in Rachelle's travel bag, evening routine, and herbal toolkit► The controversy behind kava use—and the real story behind claims of toxicity and rarity► Why traditional preparation methods for kava matter more than most people realize► What makes kava such a great herbal ally for people reducing or avoiding alcohol► One remarkable botanical fact that has shaped kava's relationship with humans for thousands of years► and so much more…For those of you who don't know her, Rachelle Robinett, RH (AHG), is a writer, herbalist, and lifelong naturalist devoted to the art and science of real health. Founder of multidisciplinary wellness companies, she combines traditional medicine, modern insight, and behavior change to help people live more naturally. Her work encourages a return—to self, to nature, and to independent thinking—often challenging the life we've been taught to want. Called “a philosophical voice at the vanguard of natural living,” she is based in New York and Costa Rica and is the author of Naturally: the Herbalist's Guide to Health and Transformation.This conversation with Rachelle is an invitation to look beyond headlines and assumptions, and instead meet kava—and herbalism itself—with greater curiosity, discernment, and wonder.----Get full show notes, transcript, and more information at: herbswithrosaleepodcast.comWould you prefer watching this episode?

The Hermetic Museum Alchemy & Mysticism Author: Alexander RoobIt will be apparent that it is difficult to discern which properties each thing possesses in reality.

In 1947, the Army announced it had recovered a crashed "flying disc" near Roswell, then reversed itself within a day — a contradiction the Air Force didn't explain until 1994, when it revealed a classified spy program called Project Mogul. Roswell wasn't even the first: unidentified wreckage and bodies had been turning up for decades before it.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/RoswellWasntFirstFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: When you hear the words “UFO crash” you likely think of Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. And while that is the most famous of supposed extraterrestrial spaceship crashes, it is by no means the first. In fact, there were several taking place before Roswell became a household name. (UFO Crashes Before Roswell) *** But first – we'll take a look at Roswell itself… and what might have been behind the crash, the UFOs, and the aliens! (Behind Roswell's Aliens) *** Numerous travelers have gone missing in Nahanni Valley… and many whose bodies have been found, have been decapitated. It's no wonder it has been nicknamed “The Valley of Headless Men”. (The Valley of Headless Men) *** In 2016, construction in a San Francisco family's backyard unearthed a terrifying find… a glass coffin. And the history behind it tells a morbid history of the city. (The Karner's Backyard Glass Coffin) *** Former Green Beret Jeffrey MacDonald claimed that a gang of acid-crazed Manson Family copycats brutally murdered his pregnant wife and two daughters in 1970, but then he was found guilty. Did he commit the crime, or did the law convict the wrong man? (The Evil Deeds of Jeffrey MacDonald) *** It's understood that scientifically, alchemy – attempting to turn a substance or element into gold – is impossible. But then, there is that one incident that took place in the early seventeenth century that has some people wondering if that's wrong.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: January 2021This episode of Weird Darkness moves from a classified Cold War balloon program in the New Mexico desert to a Canadian valley littered with decapitated bodies, a Victorian child's glass coffin dug up in a San Francisco backyard, a Green Beret convicted of butchering his own family, and a seventeenth-century alchemist tortured for the secret of turning lead into gold.It opens with the 1947 Roswell crash, tracing how rancher W.W. "Mac" Brazel's discovery of wreckage on his Lincoln County property led Colonel William Blanchard's Roswell Army Air Field to announce the capture of a "flying disc," only for the Army to reverse itself within days and blame a weather balloon, complete with staged photos of Major Jesse Marcel posing with the debris. The story follows the account through the U.S. Air Force's 1994 admission that the wreckage actually came from Project Mogul, a secret high-altitude balloon array built to detect Soviet atomic tests, and its 1997 explanation that reported alien bodies were fallen parachute test dummies, then weighs those official conclusions against UFO researcher Donald Schmitt's objections and journalist Annie Jacobsen's competing claim that the crash involved deformed children deployed by Joseph Stalin and designed by Nazi doctor Josef Mengele.From there, the episode moves through six UFO crash reports that predate Roswell by decades, including an 1897 cigar-shaped craft said to have destroyed Judge Proctor's windmill in Aurora, Texas, and left a small humanoid body buried in the local cemetery; an 1862 wreck witnessed by shipwrecked sailors from the vessel Christine on a deserted Indian Ocean island, where they found twelve-foot-tall bodies with bronze beards; a UFO crash near Stavropol, Russia, whose three survivors reportedly died from being unable to breathe Earth's atmosphere; a 1941 crash in the Carolinas recovered by the U.S. Army during a military exercise involving soldier Guy Simeone; an 1884 debris field of gear-like metal fragments found by rancher John Ellis in Dundy County, Nebraska; and a wartime British crash investigated by journalist Dorothy Kilgallen, who died shortly after publishing claims that the recovered craft's crew stood under four feet tall.Next, the story shifts to Canada's Nahanni Valley, where at least 44 people have died or vanished since 1908, beginning with prospector brothers Willie and Frank McLeod, whose headless skeletons were found at their camp two years after they disappeared, and continuing through the decapitations of Swiss prospector Martin Jorgenson and outlaw "Yukon" Fisher, the mysterious cabin fire that killed Phil Powers, and the vanishing of Annie Laferte, who was later spotted wandering naked and disoriented near the Flat River — deaths locals attribute variously to the legendary Naha tribe, the valley's hot sulphur springs, or predators, while Dene oral history holds that the warlike Naha people simply disappeared without explanation.The episode then turns to 2016, when a construction crew remodeling John and Ericka Karner's San Francisco home unearthed a 19th-century glass-and-cast-iron coffin containing the preserved body of a toddler, later identified through DNA testing led by genealogist Elissa Davey as Edith Howard Cook, who died of malnutrition in 1876 and was accidentally left behind when San Francisco's Odd Fellows Cemetery was relocated to Colma in the 1930s — a discovery the Karner family says ended years of unexplained footsteps they'd heard from a toddler no longer in the house.From there, the story follows former Green Beret Jeffrey MacDonald, convicted of stabbing his pregnant wife Colette and daughters Kimberly and Kristen to death at Fort Bragg in 1970 after claiming a blonde intruder chanting about acid and "pigs" oversaw the killings, an account investigators concluded was staged using details from the recent Manson Family murders; the case follows his decades of appeals, including the 1983 bestseller "A Fatal Vision" that branded him a psychopath and filmmaker Errol Morris's later book arguing the evidence against him was mishandled.The episode closes with the story of Alexander Seton, a secretive Scottish alchemist known as the Cosmopolitan, who in 1602 convinced skeptical Swiss professor Wolfgang Drenheim that he had transmuted lead into gold using nothing but a wrapped powder and a goldsmith's crucible in Fribourg. Seton's success drew the attention of Emperor Rudolf II and later trapped him in the custody of Christian II, Elector of Saxony, who had him pierced with iron spikes and burned with molten lead in an attempt to force him to reveal his formula; Seton escaped in 1603 with the help of his friend Michael Sendivogius but died a broken man soon after, and the alchemical text he was said to have written, the Book of Twelve Chapters, was destroyed, leaving his method lost.

Government contracting success rarely comes from winning the first bid, it comes from patience, preparation, and knowing who to build relationships with. In this episode, roofing and construction contractor West Edwards shares the hard lessons he learned entering the federal marketplace, from the slow cycle time before landing his first real job to why protecting your business from unexpected costs matters as much as chasing new work. If you are new to government contracting or thinking about breaking in, this conversation lays out what to expect and how to prepare. Key takeaways from this episode: Why patience and a longer cycle time are normal when breaking into federal contracting for the first time How West landed his first government job at MacDill by using video and photo documentation to stand out from other contractors on site Why understanding your role versus your GovCon or Alchemy partner's role is critical to using those resources effectively Why building relationships with general contractors and prime contractors matters more than trying to win contracts directly How to plan for unexpected costs and delays before they happen so your business stays protected Mindy gives you the federal opportunities, agency signals, recompete intel, and pursuit briefs that tell you not just what contracts exist, but which ones to chase and how to win them.

À Londres, un établissement secondaire a ouvert une classe sans professeurs, tous les contenus pédagogiques sont délivrés par des IA via des logiciels dédiés. Au Royaume-Uni, on teste l'enseignement 100% IA. Face au bouleversement de l'irruption des IA génératives dans la vie des élèves, certains acteurs de l'éducation prennent les devants. À Londres, un établissement privé a ouvert une classe où les cours sont entièrement assurés par une intelligence artificielle. Les élèves y préparent les équivalents du brevet et du bac, sans profs mais avec des coachs éducatifs. Reportage au David Game College, Marie Billon. La langue polonaise est la championne de l'intelligence artificielle À première vue, l'anglais et le chinois peuvent sembler prépondérants dans le domaine… Mais en termes d'efficacité, les choses sont beaucoup nuancées. La langue la mieux comprise par l'IA est une langue complètement indéchiffrable par les non-initiés, le polonais. C'est la conclusion inattendue d'une étude réalisée par des chercheurs du College Park de Microsoft à l'université du Maryland, et de l'université du Massachusetts. À Varsovie, les explications d'Adrien Sarlat. Le vin symbole de résistance en Ukraine En Ukraine, la guerre se poursuit depuis plus de 4 ans et a dévasté l'économie, mais au sud du pays, des viticulteurs continuent de produire...

Brand isn't just a marketing expense. It's one of the best long-term investments you can make as a business owner. In this episode, Guy Bauer steps away from filmmaking and creative direction to talk owner-to-owner about why Umault has invested more than half a million dollars into building its brand over the past seven years. Drawing from his own experience of putting marketing on pause while making his feature film Ana the Cleaner, he explains why strong brands continue generating results long after campaigns end. If you're focused entirely on short-term lead generation, this episode is a reminder that the strongest businesses are built by investing in something people remember long after they've seen it.

In this high-vibrational episode of Deepen with Christina, host Christina Weber is joined by body therapist, breathwork facilitator, and gene keys guide Dina Maayan. Fresh off the heels of the latest WeDeepen Love Immersion, the duo breaks down the serious mechanics of play and why infusing absolute silliness into modern connection is the ultimate medicine for shifting out of psychological heaviness. Dina pulls back the curtain on her cosmic origin story with her fiancé (Acro Yoga founder Jason Nemer)—involving smuggled Hawaiian mangoes, a symbolic totem box, and a literal coconut tree climb—while mapping out how human beings can alchemize deep childhood panic attacks into modern nervous system mastery. Main Topics Covered Play as a Metric of Success: Reframing comedy, improv, and games like Truth or Dare as high-frequency portals to bypass the adult ego. The Anatomy of a Perfect Prank: Dina's step-by-step formula for cultivating social courage, engineering creative characters, and leveraging vocal accents. The Magic of "Squish": Defining the conscious community's favorite somatic environment: Tempur-Pedic foam, sheepskins, and white fuzzy blankets designed for deep co-regulation. The Alchemical Totem Box: How Jason utilized a carved wooden box containing five specific symbolic items to explicitly anchor and manifest his future wife from the quantum field. Nervous System Leadership: Dina's personal path from experiencing severe childhood panic attacks at age six to training holistic breathwork facilitators globally. www.dinamaayan.com Sober Realities: Shifting away from drug-induced expansions into endogenous breath retentions to access higher, altered states of consciousness completely clean. Gene Keys and the Alchemy of Struggle: A philosophical deep dive into why your deepest structural wound or misfortune contains the precise raw materials to unlock your highest genius. Endings with Finesse: A transparent look at how Christina processed a very public romantic breakup without entering a victim consciousness state. Key Takeaways Inject Play to Dissolve Friction: When partnership or friendship feels bogged down by corporate stress or relational gridlock, strategic play acts as a rapid shortcut back to core alignment. Giving is an Inside Job: Authentic community belonging is established the second you stop searching for validation and instead step into a room as an active additive of service. Nervous System Co-Regulation: Public figures and master facilitators are not immune to social anxiety or blanking out. True safety is a physical, non-verbal resonance shared in real-time between bodies. The Antidote to Trauma is Self-Trust: Holding your breath on empty or full retentions trains the psyche to handle physiological stress, rewriting your baseline relationship with fear. Connect with the Guest About Dina Maayan: Dina Maayan is a Nervous System Expert and human optimization guide specializing in evidence-based somatic recalibration.

Tongue diagnosis is one of the most practical assessment tools available to herbalists — and one of the most overlooked. In this video, Sajah Popham from the School of Evolutionary Herbalism explores a simple framework for tongue diagnosis that can help herbalists gain deeper insight into constitution, tissue states, and remedy selection. Here's what you'll learn: Why the tongue is considered a microcosm of the body and an important tool for herbal assessment How tongue shape can reveal constitutional tendencies and underlying energetic patterns What tongue color indicates about heat, cold, deficiency, stagnation, and circulation How to interpret tongue coating to assess dampness, dryness, congestion, and elimination What tongue moisture reveals about fluid balance and blood stagnation A simple, practical framework for incorporating tongue evaluation into client assessments ———————————— CONNECT WITH SAJAH AND WHITNEY ———————————— To get free in depth mini-courses and videos, visit our blog at:  http://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com   Get daily inspiration and plant wisdom on our Facebook and Instagram channels: http://www.facebook.com/EvolutionaryHerbalism https://www.instagram.com/evolutionary_herbalism/   Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyP63opAmcpIAQg1M9ShNSQ   Get a free 5-week course when you buy a copy of the book, Evolutionary Herbalism: https://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com/evolutionary-herbalism-book/   Shop our herbal products:  https://naturasophiaspagyrics.com/   ———————————— ABOUT THE PLANT PATH ———————————— The Plant Path is a window into the world of herbal medicine.

This episode is different.Coach Alex sits down with San Qing on The Way for a wide-ranging conversation about exercise science, stress adaptation, mitochondria, fasting, performance, belief, martial arts, and what happens when the body is challenged and forced to grow.But this conversation also moves into territory that many Faithful Fitness listeners may not be used to hearing.Daoism.Eastern medicine.Energy language.Breathwork.Alchemy.Spiritual frameworks that do not come from a Christian worldview.That is why this episode needs to be heard with discernment.There are places in this conversation where Coach Alex and San Qing find common ground. Stress matters. Adaptation matters. Belief matters. Movement matters. The body and mind are deeply connected. The human body is fearfully and wonderfully complex.But there are also places where the worldviews are very different.As Christians, we do not listen to conversations like this with fear or arrogance. We listen with wisdom. We test what we hear. We recognize what is true, reject what is false, and bring every thought captive to Christ.Because Jesus is not one spiritual option among many.He is the way, the truth, and the life.In this episode, Coach Alex brings exercise science and Christian stewardship into a conversation outside the walls of the church. He discusses his work with Everyday Spy, the role of adaptive stress, why movement forces belief into action, how mitochondria respond to challenge, why “1% better” matters, and why the body cannot be separated from the life of faith.Listen carefully.Listen prayerfully.And ask yourself:Where have I absorbed spiritual ideas from the culture around me without testing them against Scripture?The body matters.The mind matters.Belief matters.But Christ is Lord over all of it.Timestamps00:00 – Belief, Genetics, and Performance00:35 – San Qing's Bodybuilding Journey and Daoist Framework04:21 – Coach Alex Reframes Fitness Around DNA and Stewardship06:44 – Myostatin, Genetics, and Natural Muscle Growth07:40 – Everyday Spy, Mission Readiness, and Recovery09:13 – Less Is More: Acute Stress vs. Chronic Stress12:06 – Adaptive Stressors and Epigenetic Potential12:54 – Which Cardio Is Best?

What if one medicinal herb could change the way you think about healing—not just in the body, but across entire ecosystems?Pleurisy root (Asclepias tuberosa), also called butterfly weed, is often thought of as a lung herb. But as this conversation with herbalist, farmer, and nurse Linda Shanahan reveals, this brilliant orange wildflower has a much bigger story to tell—one that stretches from monarch butterflies to microbiomes.In this episode, Linda shares the remarkable story of transforming a chemically treated sod farm into a thriving wildlife sanctuary where native plants, pollinators, birds, and beneficial insects returned together. Along the way, we explore pleurisy root's medicinal uses, why it's such an important plant for monarch butterflies, and how thinking like an herbalist invites us to see connections everywhere, from restoring habitats to supporting the microbiome within our own bodies.This episode's “recipe” card is something a little different: a guide to creating your own Monarch Medicinal Mini Garden. You can learn how to create a beautiful habitat that nourishes monarch butterflies while incorporating native medicinal plants into your landscape—find your copy here.By the end of this episode, you'll know:► The surprising scent of pleurisy root that strongly hints at who it's meant to help► How pleurisy root can support specific respiratory conditions in ways that conventional Western medicine simply can't► Special considerations for using pleurisy root medicinally► Practical tips for successfully growing milkweed from seed► Why planting milkweed alone isn't enough—and what monarch butterflies really need to thrive► and so much more…For those of you who don't know her, Linda Shanahan is an herbalist, registered nurse, and community health educator who co-owns an organic herb farm and farm-to-bottle apothecary in Doylestown, Pennsylvania with her husband, Eric. Together, they cultivate and craft herbal extracts rooted in ecological integrity and bioregional connection.Linda's journey began over 25 years ago apprenticing with herbalists Howie Brounstein and Steven Yeager in Eugene, Oregon, where she first discovered the profound spiritual nourishment found in wildcrafting and the intimate dialogue between people, plants and place.This conversation with Linda is a beautiful reminder that every medicinal herb exists not in isolation, but within a web of relationships. I hope it inspires you to deepen your own connections—with the plants growing around you and the ecosystems that sustain us all.----Get full show notes, transcript, and more information at: herbswithrosaleepodcast.comWould you prefer watching this episode?

Current herbal advice says you should never take Comfrey internally, but how did people traditionally use this plant?    In this post, we're talking about Comfrey (Achillea millefolium), which is usually taught only from a topical perspective — for cuts, scrapes, minor wounds, and injuries. However, there is a whole set of traditional uses for this herb that go beyond external use.    Here's what you'll learn: How Comfrey's tastes, energetics, and organ affinities reveal its traditional uses The traditional topical and historical internal uses of Comfrey for the skin, bones, connective tissue, and digestive lining How to safely prepare and apply Comfrey, including infused oils, poultices, and important wound-healing considerations The science behind Comfrey's safety concerns, including pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs), who should avoid internal use, and why How Comfrey's energetic architecture reflects Saturn, Capricorn, Scorpio, the Water element, and the Salt principle in medical astrology and alchemical herbalism ———————————— CONNECT WITH SAJAH AND WHITNEY ———————————— To get free in depth mini-courses and videos, visit our blog at:  http://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com   Get daily inspiration and plant wisdom on our Facebook and Instagram channels: http://www.facebook.com/EvolutionaryHerbalism https://www.instagram.com/evolutionary_herbalism/   Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyP63opAmcpIAQg1M9ShNSQ   Get a free 5-week course when you buy a copy of the book, Evolutionary Herbalism: https://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com/evolutionary-herbalism-book/   Shop our herbal products:  https://naturasophiaspagyrics.com/   ———————————— ABOUT THE PLANT PATH ———————————— The Plant Path is a window into the world of herbal medicine.

Lomes of Pigeon Pit, joins Pepe Bandit for an unguarded conversation that starts with songwriting as alchemy — puking out the fucked-up parts of the world and finding gold in the filth — and follows it into personal authority forged through hardship, acid trips, and a philosophy of spiritual anarchism built on empathy. They discuss the work of transmuting hope and gratitude into action, the magic of DIY shows and what gets lost and gained when a band outgrows the basements it started in. The conversation also turns toward the strange weight of being someone strangers cry in front of, and what it means to carry that without claiming credit for someone else's survival. Pepe shares why this one is personal for him — his own kid found Lomes's music during the years he was locked up, long before the two of them ever met.

What if the pain your child carries began not at their birth, but at yours?Josh Trent welcomes Eyla Cuenca, Birth Trauma Alchemist and Doula, to the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 825, to explore why birth trauma lives in the body for decades, how unprocessed grief silently passes from mother to child across generations, and why the moment a woman stops making someone else the villain in her birth story is the moment real healing finally begins.In This Episode, Eyla Cuenca Uncovers:(03:50) How Generational Baggage Shapes Birth(09:25) Unconscious Agreements in Child Birth(14:20) Men's Role in Child Birth(20:45) The Dogma Of Free Birth(27:00) The Alchemy of Birth and Trauma Healing(30:00) From Trauma to Peace, Power, and Wisdom(36:15) Readiness Is the Signal(41:40) Pain Shouldn't Be Part of The Body(48:55) The Dangers of Ultrasound(57:35) Receiving Is the Lesson(01:01:55) The Man's Daily Death and Rebirth(01:08:15) The Third Entity within a Sacred Union(01:13:10) Learning from Your Children

Welcome to the Homeschool Mom Book Club 2026 — a year of reading chosen entirely for you. Can I ask you a question? Who is nurturing you? It’s a question most homeschool moms never get asked. We pour everything into our children — our time, our creativity, our patience, our presence — and somewhere in all that nurturing, we forget that we are humans with needs too. Who Is Nurturing You? I’ve been there. I spent years showing up for everyone else and calling what was left of me enough. Occasional Wednesday nights at Starbucks with a latte and a journal were the thing that kept me going. I thought that was enough. It wasn’t. It’s cliche, but it’s true: I was surviving, not thriving. I craved time to read and write and learn for myself — not just enabling it for the kids. And when I began reading for me, I realized I could answer some of the challenges I was noticing in my homeschool family. After nearly two decades homeschooling and six years coaching women who home educate, I’ve learned that books, and their authors, can be incredible resources for us as home educators. I’ve also learned, from my own life, and the lives of other homeschool moms, we consistently DON’T put ourselves on our to-do lists. We leave our needs, our interests, our rabbit trails last on our lists. Our social lives can be abysmal (funny that onlookers are concerned that our kids aren’t socialized, when mom is driving them hither and yon, waiting in the parking lot while they meet new friends and do cool things). That’s why the Homeschool Mom Book Club 2026 exists. And that’s why I want to invite you into the 2026 lineup — twelve books, one per month, chosen entirely for the woman doing this work every single day. A Gift for the Mama Who Keeps Coming Last If you’ve been putting yourself last in your homeschool, I made something for you. It’s called the Permission Slip — 14 daily anchor practices for the homeschool mama who keeps coming last. It’s free and it’s yours. Grab it here: Yes, I Give Myself Permission You Are the Most Important Curriculum in Your Homeschool Before we get to the books, I want to say something I come back to again and again in my coaching work with homeschool moms: You are the most important curriculum in your homeschool. Not the books you choose for your kids. Not the actual curriculum you pull out each morning. And not the co-op or the field trips or the Charlotte Mason inspired nature study either. You. The way you show up. The way you regulate. Even the curiosity you model. The grace you extend — to your kids and to yourself. That is what your children are absorbing every single day. So investing in yourself isn’t something you do when you finally have time. It’s the most important work you can do for your homeschool. And a good book — and a community of women to think about it with — is one of the most accessible ways to begin. How the Homeschool Mama Book Club 2026 Works One book a month. Twelve months. Four quarterly themes that build on each other — so the reading isn’t just a list but a year-long conversation with yourself. When you’re listening to yourself, able to hear two thoughts in a row (because you know that is hard to do with kids afoot), and willing to unpack the challenges in your homeschool mom life, you’ll move toward enjoying the charms of your homeschool family life. And here’s the part I want you to hear clearly: you don’t have to read the book to show up. I know, crazy, right? A book club where you don’t HAVE to read. Of course, you’ll be more deeply benefited if you do. But I know I wouldn’t have been able to read a book a month in my busiest homeschool years and I’m certainly not expecting it of anyone else. Come for the conversation, come for the community, and come because for one Friday morning a month someone is asking what you think and what you need. Every month in the Confident Homeschool Mom Collective we gather for four Friday sessions built around each book: Roundtable Chat — the big question the book is really asking Book Club Discussion — diving into the ideas together Writer’s Room — putting pen to paper on what surfaced for you Actionable Strategies — taking what you learned and building it into your real homeschool life https://youtu.be/WX9ALm-uODU?si=j3xVN-WWRQWkyJWm The 2026–2027 Homeschool Mama Book Club Lineup ☀️ Summer — Your Inner Life June, July, August We start by turning inward. Before we can talk about education philosophy or creative practice we need to know ourselves a little better first. June — Atlas of the Heart by Brené BrownDo you actually know what you’re feeling — or are you just reacting to it? Brown maps 87 emotions and gives you the vocabulary to finally understand what’s happening inside you — and why it matters for every relationship in your home. July — The Road Back to You by Ian Morgan Cron & Suzanne StabileWhy do you parent and teach the way you do? This warm, witty introduction to the Enneagram helps you understand your core motivations, your stress responses, and the invisible rules you’ve been living by without even knowing it. And when you join the Confident Homeschool Mom Collective (where the Homeschool Mama Book Club lives, you’ll have access to a workshop on how the Enneagram works in your homeschool family.) August — The Life That’s Waiting by Brianna WiestWhat would your life look like if you stopped forcing it and started living it? Wiest’s newest collection of essays is for the mom who has been pushing herself toward a life that doesn’t quite fit — and is finally ready to choose differently.

How do we turn life's hardest moments into something meaningful?In Episode 292, Mike and Mark explore The Book of Alchemy by Suleika Jaouad, a powerful guide to creativity, resilience, and self-discovery through the practice of journaling.Beginning with Suleika's remarkable story of transforming pain into purpose, the hosts unpack why journaling isn't about writing perfectly—it's about thinking clearly, processing honestly, and creating space for growth. Together they explore practical frameworks for reflection, the importance of embracing uncertainty, and why every journal entry has value.The episode concludes with one of Suleika's most inspiring ideas: instead of living each day as if it's your last, try living it as if it's your first—bringing curiosity, playfulness, and openness into everyday life.Whether you're looking to unlock your creativity, build resilience, or simply reconnect with yourself, this conversation offers practical tools you can begin using today.Featured ClipsDoubling Down – Transforming pain into purposeThere Are No Bad Journal Entries – Journaling as a creative practiceLive Every Day As If It's Your First – Curiosity, playfulness, and renewalResources

What do medieval alchemists, your recurring bad memories, and the reason you can't feel joy have in common? In this lecture, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson traces a single thread from Carl Jung's strangest work to a revolutionary discovery that emerged in four different scientific fields at once, one that changes how you understand every movie you've watched and every choice you've made. Along the way he reveals the writing exercise he built with colleagues from Harvard and McGill that can measurably lower your stress, the 90 minutes a week that determine whether a marriage survives, and the question our culture never asks anyone even once in their life. The night closes with a live Q&A where Dr. Peterson does not hold back on the state of Canada, and a story about a suit that changed more than he expected.

Transmutation is the WHOLE point for black sheep. You are the generational cycle breaker. The person who saw, acknowledged, and actually stood up to the truth you saw in your family. You took that pain and turned it into a life of freedom and authenticity. The point of our 'healing journey' as black sheep isn't to stay in the suffering or to 'heal' forever.

Holographic Reality, DNA Memory & Future Timelines with Geraldine Orozco | Soul Elevation Join Kara Goodwin as she hosts Geraldine Orozco, who explores the holographic universe and how our DNA, through epigenetics, influences memory recall. This discussion offers fascinating insights into the creation of our reality and helps us understand consciousness on a deeper level. Discover how our experiences shape our perception in this thought-provoking episode. Geraldine shares her background in meditation, Qi Gong, pranic healing, hypnotherapy, and epigenetic psychotherapy, describing a 2013 retreat that led her to recover memories from the womb and ancestral lineage, followed by a multidimensional experience involving tall ET beings and consciousness travel to the Pleiades.  She explains emotions as bioelectrical charges that store and crystallize trauma, how healing involves alchemizing memories to a neutral "zero point," and links these ideas to morphogenetic fields, wave genetics, and bioelectrical memory research.  We also discuss the "matrix" construct of reality, the three bloodlines that created our human origins, free will, and two future timelines spanning transhumanist technocracy versus regenerative, nature-aligned technology and energy medicine. https://www.geraldineorozco.com/ 

The first chemists were Sri Lankan forgers who crafted unimaginably strong steel millennia before it should have been possible. They were alchemists in Roman Egypt, who designed apparatus still in use today. They were Stone Age leatherworkers, Tang Dynasty herbalists and Mayan stoneworkers.  The Enlightenment is usually credited with the origins of chemistry, but in truth, the science blossomed gradually. As early innovators distilled, smelted, forged and fermented their way through the centuries, they blurred science and mysticism in search of answers to life's greatest mysteries.

The first chemists were Sri Lankan forgers who crafted unimaginably strong steel millennia before it should have been possible. They were alchemists in Roman Egypt, who designed apparatus still in use today. They were Stone Age leatherworkers, Tang Dynasty herbalists and Mayan stoneworkers.  The Enlightenment is usually credited with the origins of chemistry, but in truth, the science blossomed gradually. As early innovators distilled, smelted, forged and fermented their way through the centuries, they blurred science and mysticism in search of answers to life's greatest mysteries.

Most of us think of cardamom as a baking spice—but what if it's actually one of the most delightful herbal medicines in your apothecary?Many of us know cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum) as the spice that makes chai, pastries, and coffee taste extraordinary. But as Missy Rohs shares in this episode, cardamom is so much more than a delicious ingredient. Together, we explore its gifts as a digestive remedy, aromatic medicine, antimicrobial herb, and even what Unani Tibb medicine calls an exhilarant—an herb that gently lifts the spirit and helps us become more open to joy. As Missy beautifully puts it, cardamom "lets the sunshine in."Along the way, we swap favorite ways to work with cardamom—from coffee and bitters to savory dishes, tinctures, and even medicinal-strength infusions. We also take a delightful detour into saffron (because it's hard to stay focused on just one of the many amazing herbs out there!), another treasured spice that pairs beautifully with cardamom and offers its own dose of wonder.Be sure to download your beautifully illustrated recipe card for Missy's Delightful Persian Love Cake—a stunning celebration of cardamom, saffron, rose, and pistachios that's sure to become a favorite.

In this episode, I sit down with herbalist Lindsey Feldpausch to celebrate one of our shared favorite plants: violet (Viola spp.).

Damien Echols was sentenced to death at 18 for the 1993 murders of three 8-year-old boys in West Memphis, Arkansas. After nearly 18 years on death row, Damien was released – because the entire time, no physical or DNA evidence ever linked him to the crime. In 1993, the media called Damien and his friends “The West Memphis Three.” Prosecutors built the case on his interest in occult magick – a major topic during the Satanic Panic – and a confession from co-defendant Jessie Misskelley Jr. that was later recanted. In 2011, after DNA testing matched none of the defendants, all were released on Alford pleas: allowing them to maintain innocence while acknowledging the state had enough to convict. They are still seeking full exoneration. Damien Echols joins Dr. Drew to talk about how the systems people trust can fail completely, what nearly two decades in prison taught him about discipline and survival, and his forthcoming book “Alchemy of the Broken Blade.” Author and urban-futures scholar Joel Kotkin discusses the rise of socialist politics in America and what it means for the middle class, drawing on his book “The Coming of Neo-Feudalism: A Warning to the Global Middle Class.” Joel Kotkin is a Presidential Fellow at Chapman University and a senior research fellow at the University of Texas Austin. He is the author of “The Coming of Neo Feudalism: A Warning to the Global Middle Class,” as well as ten other books, including “The New Class Conflict” (Telos Press), “The Human City: Urbanism for the Rest of Us,” and the co-edited collection “Infinite Suburbia.” Follow at https://x.com/joelkotkin Damien Echols is the author of the forthcoming book “Alchemy of the Broken Blade” available September 7, 2026. He was one of the three men known as the “West Memphis Three.” He spent nearly eighteen years on death row in Arkansas for crimes he insisted he did not commit. In 2011, he was released through an Alford plea. His memoir “Life After Death” was a New York Times bestseller.

All of life is born from water: from the mythological primordial ocean to the evolutionary-biology view that life originated in the waters, to the cosmological perspective of God separating the waters from heaven and Earth. All mammals grow within the womb's embryonic fluids, and as birth begins, the water breaks and touches the Earth. Life is utterly dependent on water, but how do we work with the Water element in herbalism?   In this post, we're exploring the Water element in herbal medicine and how it manifests in people and plants. ​ Here's what you'll learn: How the Water element manifests in traditional herbal medicine, medical astrology, and Ayurvedic healing systems The unique roles of Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces as expressions of nourishment, purification, and spiritual connection within the Water element How the Water element influences key body systems, including the reproductive system, mucosal membranes, lymphatics, and organs of elimination The defining characteristics of Water element herbs, including their morphology, tastes, affinities, actions, and energetics How to identify Water element plants, and examples such as Marshmallow, Cleavers, Red Clover, White Pond Lily, and Horsetail ———————————— CONNECT WITH SAJAH AND WHITNEY ———————————— To get free in depth mini-courses and videos, visit our blog at:  http://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com   Get daily inspiration and plant wisdom on our Facebook and Instagram channels: http://www.facebook.com/EvolutionaryHerbalism https://www.instagram.com/evolutionary_herbalism/   Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyP63opAmcpIAQg1M9ShNSQ   Get a free 5-week course when you buy a copy of the book, Evolutionary Herbalism: https://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com/evolutionary-herbalism-book/   Shop our herbal products:  https://naturasophiaspagyrics.com/   ———————————— ABOUT THE PLANT PATH ———————————— The Plant Path is a window into the world of herbal medicine. With perspectives gleaned from traditional Western herbalism, Ayurveda, Chinese Medicine, Alchemy, Medical Astrology, and traditional cultures from around the world, The Plant Path provides unique insights, skills and strategies for the practice of true holistic herbalism. From clinical to spiritual perspectives, we don't just focus on what herbs are "good for," but rather who they are as intelligent beings, and how we can work with them to heal us physically and consciously evolve.   ———————————— ABOUT SAJAH ———————————— Sajah Popham is the author of Evolutionary Herbalism and the founder of the School of Evolutionary Herbalism, where he trains herbalists in a holistic system of plant medicine that encompasses clinical Western herbalism, medical astrology, Ayurveda, and spagyric alchemy. His mission is to develop a comprehensive approach that balances the science and spirituality of plant medicine, focusing on using plants to heal and rejuvenate the body, clarify the mind, open the heart, and support the development of the soul. This is only achieved through understanding and working with the chemical, energetic, and spiritual properties of the plants. His teachings embody a heartfelt respect, honor and reverence for the vast intelligence of plants in a way that empowers us to look deeper into the nature of our medicines and ourselves. He lives on a homestead in the foothills of Mt. Baker Washington with his wife Whitney where he teaches, consults clients, and prepares spagyric herbal medicines.    ———————————— WANT TO FEATURE US ON YOUR PODCAST? ———————————— If you'd like to interview Sajah or Whitney to be on your podcast, click here to fill out an interview request form.

On today's episode of the Occult Symbolism and Pop Culture with Isaac Weishaupt podcast we have the second episode of the KWARTER KWELL! I've been working with occult researcher Joel Thomas from "Free the Rabbits" podcast for our quarterly show we're doing called "Kwarter Kwell" and our second episode is all about golems, Homunculus and Bob Lazar's Soul Containers!"We dive into one of the strangest ideas ever connected to UFO disclosure: Are human beings merely containers?Inspired by Bob Lazar's claim that aliens view humanity as "containers," the conversation expands into occult philosophy, Kabbalistic golems, alchemical homunculi, Crowley's Moonchild rituals, Michael Aquino, consciousness transfer, and the possibility that modern transhumanist dreams are simply ancient occult ideas dressed in new technological clothing.Could artificial life be created as a vessel for another intelligence? Are stories of golems, homunculi, and magical children primitive versions of the same concepts now being explored through AI, genetics, and consciousness research? And why do so many occult traditions revolve around the movement, manipulation, and containment of the soul?Along the way, Isaac and Joel explore Jack Parsons, Marjorie Cameron, the Babylon Working, Kenneth Grant, UFO religions, Epstein's occult interests, Michael Aquino, the Temple of Set, and the increasingly blurred line between ancient magic and modern science.This is one of the deepest—and strangest—Kwarter Kwells yet."LINKS:Check out the YouTube video version: https://www.youtube.com/@occultsymbolism/videos Follow Joel Thomas everywhere: https://linktr.ee/joelthomasmediaSubscribe to Joel's "Free the Rabbits" YouTube channel:  https://www.youtube.com/@freetherabbitsKWARTER KWELL Ep 1: Trump & the Occult: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfyGZ_1wRPQMore Links:Isaac on Ninjas Are Butterflies: https://youtu.be/JHOm2SEvmrE?si=Z8IR1I7KLbhutmIcIsaac on The Confessionals: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovca2UZ_I4wSUPPORTER FEEDS get bonus content AND go commercial free + other perks:*PATREON.com/IlluminatiWatcher : ad free, HUNDREDS of bonus shows, early access AND TWO OF MY BOOKS!
