Hungry Ghost Month runs August 13 through September 10 in 2026, with the fifteenth-day Hungry Ghost Festival falling on August 27. Why do some getai and wayang performances in Singapore and Malaysia leave the entire front row empty?Thursday Thrills explores the Chinese ghost folklore, religious traditions and regional beliefs behind seats reserved for unseen guests. Henrique traces the differences among the seventh lunar month, the Daoist Zhongyuan Festival, Buddhist Yulanpen or Ullambana observances, ancestor remembrance and offerings for wandering spirits. We also examine food, incense, joss paper and documented Ghost Month taboos involving roadside offerings, nighttime swimming, reserved seats and major life events.From Taiwan's water lanterns and Hong Kong's Yu Lan traditions to Singaporean getai, this respectful supernatural folklore journey separates living cultural practice from sensational internet horror - and asks who a performance is really for when its best seats are left empty.

Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week's episode we invite our friend Julian the Philosopher back on the show to discuss the mythic source material from which Christopher Nolan's new film is based: The Odyssey. We discuss not just Nolan's new film, but Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, quite a bit of the historical context around these works of epic poetry, how these stories were thought of initially, criticized by Plato, recontextualized by Virgil, translated countless times and transformed into Nolan's new blockbuster film. As part of our larger conversation, we discuss the dichotomy between the Homeric hero and the Platonic Hero of the mind, considering how each incarnation of the story fits into this framework or not. Thank you and enjoy the show :) Check out Julian the Philosopher here:https://www.youtube.com/@JulianSoloninkahttps://medium.com/@jsolonin In this week's episode we discuss:-The Homeric Hero-Nolan's Odysseus-The Emily Wilson Translation -The Presence / Absence of Gods-Hanging of the Servants-The Life and Times of Homer -The People From the Sea-Achilles and the Ethiopian FleetIn the extended episode available at www.patreon.com/TheWholeRabbit we go off script to discuss: -Virgil's Aeneid-The Telegony-Rome, Ancestors of Troy -The Christianization of The Odyssey-The Boatman Charon-John the Baptist-The Sirens-Philip K.

The Outer Realm welcomes back special Guest Daniela Simina Date: July 23, 2026 EP: 749 DISCUSSION: Forging Deeper Connections &Understanding The Parallels Of Irish & Romanian Fairies. Daniela will be talking about her book Where Fairies Meet. We will discuss the parallelism between the ever evolving Irish and Romanian Fairy traditions, lore, and can we forge connections with those from the OTHER Realms, and perhaps co exist as our Ancestors did. Contact for the show - theouterrealmcontact@gmail.com https://linktr.ee/michelledesrochers_ About Daniela: Daniela Simina, granddaughter of a folk medicine woman and fairy seer, grew up in Romania, immersed in the rich local fairy traditions. Those early years have imprinted her beliefs and later work.

Daniela Simina is the author Where Fairies Meet: Parallels Between Irish and Romanian Fairy Traditions, A Fairy Path: The Memoir of a Young Fairy Seer in Training, and Fairy Herbs for Fairy Magic: A Practical Guide to Fairy HerbalMagic Daniela Simina Bioenergetic Balance, Plant Energy Medicine& Spiritual Herbalism, Reiki, Yoga.

As such, fairy traditions allow people to position themselves on the time-space continuum, not only through perpetuation of values but also through connecting deeper with the subtler realms that surround and interpenetrate consensus reality. Connecting to subtler realms gives access to a body of knowledge built upon the record of interaction between our world and the Other. In Ireland and Romania, fairy traditions are alive and evolving. The study of the parallelism that exists between bodies of lore, past and present, from areas diametrically opposed on the map of Europe, gives scholars, lay people, and spiritual seekers access to an everlasting repository of wisdom.

We are the dreams of our ancestors; we are their hopes for the future. But sometimes their trauma is transmitted to us through nightmares. In today’s special replay, Dream Journal regular Linda Schiller, speaks about how to heal that intergenerational pain and focus on the gifts of ancestral connection. Linda talks about her own ancestors and how her grandfather, who she called Grandpa Joey, fled Kiev with his family at age of three because of the pogroms and how making borscht soup always helped her feel more connected to that side of her family. We talk about the trauma that we inherit from our ancestors but also the caring and resilience. Linda also talks about synchronicity, public trauma vs private trauma, drawing up a family tree, and dream incubation. After the break, we explore a dream of Katherine’s about doing numerical computations like she used to during her NASA career and about why she might be having this dream now over 20 years after leaving that position. BIO: Linda Yael Schiller is an international teacher, psychotherapist, and dream worker. She is professor emeritus from Boston University School of Social Work and the post-graduate Trauma Certificate program. She is the author of three books.

What if almost everything we've been taught about civilization, motherhood, and even spirituality isn't the whole story?In this conversation, HeatherAsh sits down with her longtime friend and bestselling author Perdita Finn to explore the ideas at the heart of her new book, Mothers of Magic. What begins as a conversation about mothers quickly becomes something much bigger.Together they explore what humanity may have lost when we stopped living in relationship with the land, why no child was ever meant to be raised by just one mother, what our ancestors and beloved dead might still have to teach us, and how fierce love may be exactly what's needed in these times.This isn't a conversation filled with easy answers. It's an invitation to question inherited stories, imagine a different future, and remember an older way of belonging.Whether you leave inspired, challenged, or seeing the world through completely new eyes, this is an episode you'll be thinking about long after it ends.In this episode, we explore:Why Perdita believes civilization itself changed the way humans relate to one another, the Earth, and womenThe forgotten wisdom of communal mothering and why no one was ever meant to have only one motherWhat it means to ask your ancestors and beloved dead for guidance, and why Perdita believes they always answerHow prayer becomes a living relationship instead of a religious obligationThe role of fierce love, righteous anger, and imagination in creating a different futureWhy healing isn't just personal. It's remembering our place within a much older story.If you've ever felt like there's another way to live, love, grieve, pray, or belong that our culture has forgotten, this conversation offers a glimpse of what we might remember together.About Perdita FinnPerdita Finn is the author of Take Back the Magic: Conversations with the Unseen World, Mothers of Magic: Summoning the Wisdom of Our Ancestors, and with her husband Clark Strand The Way of the Rose: The Radical Path of the Divine Feminine Hidden in the Rosary. She teaches popular workshops on connecting and collaborating with both the dead and the animate everything. She lives with her family in the moss-filled shadows of the Catskill Mountains.

Awaken Your Sacred Feminine: Manifestation, Ancestors & Spiritual Power with Abiola Abrams & Mind-Body Psychic Medium Kara Lovehart

The Bible is not ancient words. It has so much to say to us today. It is for every generation but especially needed in this generation.   Then Accusations False witnesses came forward accusing Stephen of blasphemous words against the Torah and the Temple (Acts 6:11, 13) These are charges that would lead to capital punishment. Acts 7:1 the high priest asks Stephen if these charges are true. Stephen begins his response very graciously "brothers and fathers…" and at that moment Stephen goes from Defendant to Prosecutor. Stephen's Response (part 1) - Torah A trip through Israel's history… Abraham (Acts 7:2b-3)  Stephen begins his speech with "The GOD OF GLORY appeared to our father Abraham…" and shares the story of Abraham. We will see he ends His story with the words Glory and God as well! Joseph (Acts 7:9-10)  Joseph was hated by his brothers, but ultimately used by God to save his brothers and families. Those God uses are often persecuted. Moses (Acts 7:25-40a)  Moses was used by God to save the people, but the people did not recognize he was sent to rescue them. Using the history of Israel Stephen continues to demonstrate how often God's people have rejected the very ones God has raised up. Steven talks about Moses receiving "LIVING WORDS" to pass onto the people. Jesus is the Living Word - we see this in John 1:1, John 1:14. Stephen is communicating that Messiah has come and He is the Living Word all without mentioning Jesus name.   Stephen's Response (part 2) - Temple The history of Israel's idolatry… Tabernacle (Acts 7:44-47) God gave Moses the pattern for the tabernacle of the covenant law to have with them in the wilderness. God gave the people the design of the tabernacle and that He would dwell in their midst but the people chose to worship idols instead and that resulted in exile. David ushered in a period of revival and Solomon built the Temple but ultimately ended up worshiping false deities. Temple (Acts 7:48 - 53) Stephen shows how the temple has become an object of worship rather than God: Worship of things rather than the Creator. Stephen calls these important leaders a stiff-necked people and accuses them of being just like their own ancestors. He tells them they resist the Holy Spirit and asks them, "Was there ever a prophet your ancestors did not persecute?" And he goes on to accuse them of killing the Righteous One.   Now Ignore the Scriptures -  Then - they took the parts of Scripture they liked and ignored the parts they didn't.  Now - this same thing continues today. Followed self-made gods  Then - followed the gods and ideas of others rather than the Scriptures Now - today we buy into the lies of the culture - Christians are often ignorant of what the Bible has to say. Buildings over Mission Then - they idolized their temple Now - many see the Christian faith as having a nice social network when instead our mission is to lead the world to a knowledge of the Lord Jesus. Miss Jesus the Messiah Then - this testimony of Stephen was for calling the people back to God Now - God today seeks to call us back to the knowledge of Jesus the Messiah.  Resist the Holy Spirit Then - many resisted the Holy Spirit Now - today many resist the Holy Spirit. God calls us to despair of doing things in our own power and to humbly receive what He offers in Jesus our Savior. He desires we listen to Him and follow Him as Abraham, Joseph, Moses, the prophets, Stephen and the Apostles followed Him.   God yearns for us to know Him Jesus loves us desperately and in Him is hope, forgiveness, power to live a new life and life forever.   Acts 7:54-60.  There are only 2 ways to respond to this message: 1 - to be angry  2 - to be repentant   How did the Sanhedrin respond to Stephen's message? They were angry, but Stephen, filled with the Holy Spirit, looks up to heaven and sees the GLORY OF GOD and concludes his testimony with, "Look, I see heaven open and the Son of Man (Jesus) standing at the right hand of God." Then they take Stephen out to stone him and his final words are: "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. Do not hold this sin against them."    This week's READING ASSIGNMENT:   Acts chapter 7-8 (read and reflect on these two chapters together).     Now What?

We all want to eat healthier. The Paleo diet promises exactly that: eat like our ancestors, avoid modern foods, and improve your health. But does it really support your gut, heart and long-term health, or is the story more complicated? In this episode, Dr James Cole, a world-leading expert on prehistoric diets, joins Dr Federica Amati to explore what Paleo gets right and why some of the claims may be dangerously wrong. James explains what ancient evidence tells us about human diets, why the modern-day Paleo diet may go too far in its restrictions, and what that might mean for your heart disease risk and gut health. By the end of the episode, you'll have ideas on what principles to keep from the Paleo diet, and what rules to avoid. Could trying to eat as our ancestors did force you to cut foods your body actually needs? Before you give up grains, beans or dairy, it may be worth asking what ancient humans really ate.

Tenicka Boyd was 21 years old and a new mother when she took a job working for President Obama. Nineteen years later, her daughter is a college junior living in Japan, Tenicka is a fashion voice, former ACLU staffer, and one of the most self-possessed women I've had on the couch. She is also refreshingly honest about the parts of her story most women tuck away.In this episode, we get into the conversation Tenicka is best known for online—the honest one about money and motherhood. What it means to enter motherhood with resources, and what it costs when you don't. Why "living for your kids" is not the compliment we've been told it is. Why she believes we're not owed motherhood, and what it looks like to choose it with your eyes wide open.From there we get into her reflection on early motherhood and the loneliness of being out of sync with the girlfriends who are now having their first child, the leap from a full-time career in politics to content creation—when she eclipsed her ACLU salary in one quarter—and why she refuses to work a sixty-hour week for herself. We talk about the uniformity that's crept into creator culture, the political history of fashion, and why she wants us to expand the definition of luxury beyond European heritage houses. She names the African, Caribbean, and diaspora designers currently defining her closet—from Hertunba to FeNoel to Tongoro to Desiree Iyama.And then we get into decadence as refusal. Refusal of shrinking, of quiet luxury culture, of the mad dash to 40. Refusal of the small life the world has convinced women to accept.This is a conversation about what it looks like to give yourself permission to live a life your ancestors couldn't have imagined for you.Her affirmation this week: "I am my great, great-grandmother's wildest dream." Cheers to that.

In this episode of Conversations with a Chiropractor, Dr. Stephanie Wautier sits down with Dr. Holly Porter, a transformational leader, 17-time best-selling author, founder of multiple companies, and near-death experience survivor. After contracting COVID-19 in 2021, Holly spent 70 days in the hospital, was placed on a ventilator twice, received a trachea, battled sepsis and other infections, and faced moments where her survival was deeply uncertain. During that time, she says she experienced multiple out-of-body experiences, a powerful near-death experience, and a spiritual encounter that changed the direction of her life. Holly shares what she remembers from what she calls the "stadium of light," the music, the life review, the message she received, and the moment she felt called to start the Adventure Bucket Wish Foundation. She also talks about the long and painful healing process after leaving the hospital, including what she describes as two years of emotional, spiritual, and physical recovery. Stephanie and Holly explore faith, prayer, grief, purpose, spiritual transformation, obedience, surrender, and the question so many people ask after a life-altering event: "Why am I still here?"

Celebrate the men / male Ancestors all week. They are standing up for a reason

Diana and Nicole discuss the America 250 Ancestors series, which focuses on researching colonial ancestors who lived during the Revolutionary War era. Diana shares her recent trip to Mount Vernon, where she experienced Revolutionary War Weekend and visited the slave quarters and memorial to learn about the 317 enslaved individuals who lived on the estate. Listeners learn how to use historical context to tell the stories of their own ancestors who lived during this foundational time in American history. Diana highlights her research into her fifth great-grandfather, Richard Wiatt Royston, and his connection to George Washington. She details how Richard and his wife Ann sold land to Fielding Lewis in a 1752 transaction that George Washington personally surveyed. Diana and Nicole examine records such as vestry books, tax lists, and petitions to piece together Richard's life in Gloucester County, Virginia, including the story of his son John's time as a runaway apprentice. Through these records and accounts of the extreme economic hardship and natural disasters in the post-Revolutionary era, they demonstrate how to utilize available documentation to construct a richer understanding of an ancestor's experiences and sacrifices.

A Swiss private collector is selling a massive collection of thousands of Indigenous pipes, firearms, and cultural items, valued at over $17 million. A group is leading an effort to repatriate the items that are nearly 200 years old. They originated with First Nations and potentially U.S. tribes. The group is hoping to raise millions of dollars to bring these items home before they fall into another private collector’s hands. We'll discuss the struggle to reclaim items from overseas private collectors, alongside a broader push to make museums and universities return ancestral items by a 2029 deadline. Plus, we'll look at a pivotal U.S. Supreme Court case deciding the future of birthright citizenship, just as their current term ends. GUESTS Shannon O'Loughlin (Choctaw), chief executive and attorney for the Association on American Indian Affairs Coleen Rajotte (Cree), journalist, Sixties Scoop survivor, and repatriation advocate Lance White (Santee Dakota and Arikara), repatriation advocate Robert Miller (Eastern Shawnee), law professor at Arizona State University and tribal judge Gerald Neufeld, repatriation researcher and advocate Break 1 Music: Ancestors (song) Mike Bern (artist) Ancestors (album) Break 2 Music: Tsudadatla Tsisqwa (song) Kalyn Fay (artist) Garden (album)

Typical Skeptic #2691Ancient Lands: The Ancestors, the Ant Beings & the Journey Within

Danica Shoan Ankele, Sensei – ZMM – 6/27/26 – Practicing zazen, seeing into our minds, is what makes it possible to loosen the grip and let our true self be known. We are called to actualize in our present bodies, in this life, the actual body and life of Buddha. On the path of awakening to the truth of this, we awaken to the truth of the “self-born wisdom deity” of the Buddha ancestors.

Coming up, we explore the life and times of our ancient ancestors, and what they can teach us. In this episode, Lee Berger tells us about the Homo Naledi species that ritualistically buried their dead; George Nash on remarkable cave paintings in South Wales; Andrea Manica explains how our ancient ancestors evolved sickle cell to sidestep malaria; and Rod Flower on our forebears making medicine and mind-altering drugs.

The Problem Was Never Our GeneticsWhat if the key to better health for Pacific peoples wasn't a new diet trend or medication, but the foods our ancestors had been eating for generations?In this episode, Samoan scientist Amy Maslen-Miller explores the traditional Samoan diet through both cultural knowledge and modern science. From talo, ufi, ulu, fa'i, niu, and seafood, to the umu cooking method and traditional food preservation practices, we uncover how ancestral food systems supported health long before the rise of chronic disease.Amy also examines how colonisation, migration, and changing food environments transformed Pacific diets, contributing to the growing burden of obesity and type 2 diabetes seen today. Drawing on emerging research in nutrition, metabolic health, and Pacific genetics, she discusses why the problem was never our genes, and how traditional foods may offer important insights for improving health outcomes for future generations.This episode explores culture, history, science, and the growing evidence that some of the most powerful health solutions may already exist within Pacific knowledge systems.

The book is Tracing Your Ancestors Using What They Left Behind: A Guide for Family Historians by Simon Wills. I had actually planned to offer this book as a giveaway a few weeks ago, but some family things came up, and I was not able to make the change at the time. In the end, that delay worked out for the better because it gave me more time to sit with the book, look through it more carefully, and enjoy it more than I probably would have if I had rushed through it. The more I looked through it, the more I felt this would be a helpful book for my readers, followers, and fellow genealogy friends. What stood out to me right away is that this book approaches genealogy from a perspective that many family historians will appreciate. We spend a lot of time with census records, birth records, marriage records, death records, probate files, newspapers, military records, church records, and all the other usual sources. Those records are important, and we need them. But this book reminds us that family history clues can also be found in the physical things our ancestors left behind. That is really the heart of this book...

Military records can add life, movement, and personal detail to family history research. A census may tell you where an ancestor lived. A marriage record may name a spouse. A deed may show land ownership. A will may identify heirs. Military records can place that same person inside a larger moment in history. They may show where he served, when he enlisted, whether he was wounded, where his unit traveled, when he came home, whether he received a pension, and how his service affected his family. Sometimes they name wives, children, parents, neighbors, doctors, ministers, officers, and fellow soldiers. In some cases, a military file may be one of the richest sources you'll ever find for an ancestor. These records are not only about battles. They're about people...

Today travelers can follow social media influencers and websites that promise to give you an insider's look at places to stay or the best discounted hotel rates. But for Black travelers in the Jim Crow era through the 1960s, it wasn't easy to find places to eat or stay overnight. In this episode, we are going to talk about two national guides for Black travelers, both published beginning in the 1930s, and places that were included from New London, Connecticut.  Our guests, Nicole Thomas and Tom Schuch, are part of the team that produced the New London Black Heritage Trail, designated as one of 20 Connecticut History Gamechangers by Connecticut Explored magazine in 2022.  Nicole Thomas was born and raised in New London. She is the Assistant Site Administrator at the Hempstead Houses Museum for Connecticut Landmarks and is instrumental in the interpretation of the life of Adm Jackson who was enslaved at the Hempstead Houses. You can hear that story on Grating the Nutmeg episode #175 Sleeping with the Ancestors with author Joe McGill.  Tom Schuch is a New London native and a graduate of Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.  He has a special interest in forgotten local history. This interest led to the discovery of several of the New London Green Book sites, as well as other sites that are now part of the New London Black Heritage Trail. Tom was featured on Grating the Nutmeg episode #149 New London and the Middle Passage.   Be sure to go to the Connecticut Landmarks website to plan your visit to the Hempstead Houses.    Learn about the mid-20th century Green Book guides that Black Americans used to find welcoming lodging and other services whether traveling for work or pleasure on Preservation Connecticut's website Architecture of the Green book in Connecticut: https://preservationct.org/architecture-of-the-green-book-in-connecticut   And find Tom Schuch's blog All Schuch Up on Substack.com   To see the Green books, visit    https://www.nypl.org/blog/2015/03/24/schomburg-treasures-green-book   To listen to Nicole and Tom's other Grating the Nutmeg episodes.
