What if the wicked villains did conquer the elves? And what if a young elf-maiden was forced to carry the offspring of one of the invaders? That's the new novel The Rending Cauldron, just brewed by fantasy author and Realm Makers president Rebecca P. Minor. Today, Becky joins us in the studio to explore tough topics, dark drama, and the expanding worlds of Christian-made fantastical fiction.

As president of Realm Makers, she also joins her husband Scott helping other fantasy and science fiction writers create God-honoring stories. The Minors have three geeky sons. Now in their empty nest season, they're seeking ways to further the Realm Makers mission while also tending to their roles as the servants to a couple of spoiled cats.

Some quick notes on the founding and growth of Realm Makers. More about The Windrider Saga and The Risen Age Archive series. 2. From snarky elves to complex fantasy Images and ideas that led to The Rending Cauldron's premise. Why this new novel is more appropriate for grown-up readers. Early responses from readers and a guide to complex stories. 3. Forging a deeper Christian-made fantasy Stories can avoid politics, but wrestle with pre-political moralities. They can go beyond jargon and apply crises to realistic people. And not every story is for everyone. Readers can help each other. Com station Top question for listeners Who is your favorite fictional elf? What is your favorite thematically complex story? Next on Fantastical Truth Some fans love the new He-Man movie. Others may not care so much, especially if they didn't grow up in the 1980s. But no matter your age, fantasy franchises from that decade have shaped the creative worlds we know today. How can Christians look back on this era with discernment and appreciation for good nostalgia?

Let's Chat!!Boo, bitches…This week's Cauldron of Chaos is dedicated to every witch currently trying to remain mystical while sweating through their eyeliner.We're talking: 

When "Sleeping Satellite" hit the airwaves in 1992, it announced a new unique talent in Tasmin Archer that seemed to be going far. Little did we know that we'd only hear from her sporadically over the next 34 years. The usual label politics slowed the follow up album and after that she found it more to her liking to go independent and be her own boss, amounting to only four full length albums, including last year's A Cauldron of Random Notes. Tasmin walks us through this journey, explaining why she made the decisions she did and where things stand today. She's every bit the unique talent she always was, she's just doing it her way. Enjoy!  www.tasminarcher.com www.patreon.com/c/thehustlepod

Dive into our literary analysis of A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas, the bestselling author behind the global phenomenon A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR). In this season, we break down ACOSF through an academic lens, using our combined 13 years of literary training to analyze Nesta Archeron's character arc, Cassian and Nesta's relationship, and the deeper themes driving Sarah J. Maas's storytelling. We explore key elements of the novel, including symbolism, metaphor, imagery, and character development, while examining major A Court of Silver Flames themes like trauma, healing, power, and transformation within the ACOTAR series. Spoilers: This episode contains full spoilers for A Court of Silver Flames, the entire ACOTAR series (A Court of Thorns and Roses, A Court of Mist and Fury, A Court of Wings and Ruin, and Frost and Starlight). Any other books or larger Sarah J. Maas universe theories and connections will be discussed in a separate Breadcrumbs and Broomsticks episode. Chapters Summary: As Emerie carries an injured Gwyn to the top of Ramiel to finish the Blood Rite, Nesta holds the Pass of Enalius against Bellius and his fellow Illyrians. The male's role in Queen Briallyn's plan meets a gruesome end at the hands of a possessed Cassian, and the human queen uses the Crown to force Cassian to kill Nesta. Unwilling to let her mate suffer, Nesta unleashes her full power to silence Briallyn once and for all. But her victory is short-lived with the imminent death of Feyre, who has gone into premature labor. In order to save her sister and nephew, Nesta wields all three Dread Trove objects at once, striking a bargain with the Cauldron, their lives and Rhys's in exchange for the power she took. In the aftermath, Nesta claims Cassian as her mate, and is finally fully ready to embrace all that her fae life has to offer. Each week, we ask ourselves a question: Does the emotional climax match the physical climax of the story?

Welcome back to the Solarium, witches.We've dusted off the chairs and tables, planted a few rows of herbs, brought in fresh candles and cushions, and stocked the shelves with plenty of tea, smokable blends, and magical conversation. So pull up a chair and settle into that warm, candlelit sanctuary where every chat feels just a little enchanted.In this Solarium review episode, Laylla and Chelle gather around the reading table to talk about the witchy books and oracle decks currently rattling around their brains and haunting their bookshelves in the best possible way.The episode begins with Tarot Tableau Revolution by Maria Alviz Hernando, a visually rich and imaginative exploration of tarot symbolism, storytelling, and layered interpretation that sparks a conversation about personal readings, artistic inspiration, and the strange poetry hidden inside the cards themselves. From there, the witches move deeper into the cauldron with Pagan Portals: Cerridwen by Danu Forest and Entering Hekate's Cauldron by Cyndi Brannen, exploring themes of transformation, initiation, crossroads magic, goddess devotion, and the sacred mysteries waiting in the darker corners of spiritual practice.Then the oracle decks come out, and the energy shifts.Laylla and Chelle discuss The Initiates Oracle by Marcella Kroll and Adam Smith, with its mystical atmosphere, initiatory themes, and the sense that some decks arrive less like tools and more like invitations through hidden doorways.But the true magical spark of the evening comes when the Solarium welcomes a very special guest: the legendary Judika Illes, author of The Magic Spells Oracle.Together, Laylla, Chelle, and Judika chat about spellcraft, magical traditions, oracle creation, intuitive practice, and the living heartbeat of magic itself. The conversation drifts from thoughtful and inspiring to delightfully chaotic in true broomstick fashion, creating the kind of intimate witchy gathering that feels like staying up far too late beside the fire while the incense burns itself down to ash.This episode is cozy, insightful, funny, and overflowing with magical inspiration for witches, readers, tarot lovers, deck collectors, and curious seekers alike. Expect book talk, oracle deck reviews, goddess lore, laughter, and at least one moment where everyone disappears down a wonderfully strange metaphysical rabbit hole.Pour yourself something warm, light a candle, and join Laylla, Chelle, and Judika Illes for an evening of books, cards, conversation, and candlelit magic beneath the glow of the broomstick lantern.Side effects may include compulsive deck collecting, sudden altar rearranging, and an urgent need to haunt your local occult bookstore.Got a question?

In March 1989, twenty-one-year-old University of Texas student Mark Kilroy and some friends traveled south of the border to Matamoros, Mexico to celebrate the end of spring break, along with thousands of other American students that year. After drinking all night at a bar on the night of March 10, Kilroy got separated from his friends when they decided to call it a night a little after 2:00 am. No one would see Mark Kilroy alive again. As one of several towns bordering the United States, Matamoros was popular with American tourists; however, by the late 1980s, it was beginning to develop a reputation for drug-related crime. In fact, Mark Kilroy was just one of sixty people who went missing in Matamoros in just the first three months of 1989 alone. When Kilroy's friends reported him missing to the Brownsville, Texas police a massive search began, with investigators fearing Mark might have been kidnapped by one of the local gangs. It turned out, the truth was far worse than anyone had feared. MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Buy Tickets to MORBID LIVE at Radio City Music Hall on June 27th!

Dia Duit agus fáilte mo chara, Hello and welcome Beautiful Witches Souls me ol Flowers

With fireballs in his hands, the Cauldron Group's David Duckworth sets magical potions ablaze.Cauldron酒吧的大卫·达克沃斯手里拿着火球，点燃了魔法药水。So all the drinks that we have on offer at the Cauldron, the key thing to know about them is that they're all fully interactive.我们在Cauldron酒吧提供的所有饮品，它们都是可以发生反应的。So you are able to interact with the various ingredients, and using molecular mixology and science behind the drinks.你可以使各种成分相互作用，利用饮料背后的分子调酒技术和科学。You are able to make your drinks do something that you've probably never seen a drink do before.你可以让饮料做一些以前从未见过的事情。Gathered around crystal balls in Cauldron in a dark, magical room, sit witches and wizards learning new and delicious magic.在一个黑暗的魔法房间里，女巫和男巫们围坐在Cauldron酒吧的水晶球旁，学习新奇而美妙的魔法。So this is a potion making class. When people come in, they get a robe, they get a magic wand, that's one of our custom magic wand that actually works.这是一堂药剂制作课。人们进店的时候，会得到一件长袍，一根魔杖，这是我们定制的一根真正能够起作用的魔杖。And they learn to brew molecular potions, which are molecular cocktails, where we employ chemistry in the drink making process.他们学习调制分子药剂，也就是分子鸡尾酒，我们在调酒过程中运用化学原理。When customers arrive, they receive their magician's cloak and a magic wand they use to pour themselves a drink from a beheaded magical creature.当顾客到达店里时，他们会收到魔术师斗篷和一根魔杖，他们用这根魔杖从一只被斩首的魔法生物那里给自己倒一杯饮料。The magic wand powered by the sorcery known as the Internet of Things also operates taps, turns on lights and unlocks doors at the Cauldron.这根由被称为物联网的魔法驱动的魔杖，还在Cauldron酒吧操控水龙头、开灯和开门。So our mission is to bring fantasy and magic to life with science, technology and design,我们的使命是用科学、技术和设计将幻想和魔法变为现实，and to allow people to step into the imagined world, to their childhood in a really authentic way.让人们以一种真实的方式踏入想象中的世界，重温他们的童年。Cortland, once a high school reading teacher, says that career progressed into this one,科特兰曾是一名高中阅读教师，他表示这份职业逐渐发展成了现在的工作——where he teaches adults to interact with literature, and the STEM curriculum of science, technology, engineering and mathematics.教导成年人如何与文学作品互动，以及教授科学、技术、工程和数学课程。The experience, he says, takes some adults back in time.他说，这种体验让一些成年人回到了过去。We just googled fun things to do in London. It was one of the things that came up.我们刚刚在谷歌上搜索了伦敦有趣的活动，就出现了这家酒吧。Owners say fantasy fans of all ages appreciate a place that brings magic to life.酒吧业主们说，各个年龄段的奇幻爱好者都很喜欢这个能让魔法照进现实的地方。But junior witches and wizards beware, the Cauldron only shares the dark arts with those 18 years and older. 但是年轻的巫师们要当心， Cauldron酒吧只与18岁及以上的巫师分享黑魔法。

Show Notes This episode kicks off exactly the way you'd expect from the RPGBOT: chaos, side tangents, and Ash refusing to answer a math question on principle. The opening banter spirals from bizarre favorite function jokes into tabletop war stories, including a truly cursed encounter with a Pathfinder quickling that becomes Public Enemy Number One. It's the kind of table story every GM secretly loves and every player quietly dreads. Once the dust settles, we pivot into the real topic: the Unearthed Arcana for Villainous Options. Right away, there's a shared sense of excitement mixed with skepticism. The premise is strong. These subclasses and mechanics are clearly designed to lean into darker themes, with explicit nods to body horror, disease, and infernal corruption. There's even a content warning, which signals that Wizards is intentionally pushing tone into grimmer territory than usual. The Pestilence Domain Cleric quickly becomes the standout. It nails the fantasy of weaponized disease in a way that feels both mechanically useful and narratively rich. It balances flavor and function, letting you embody something that feels like a walking apocalypse while still leaving room for creative alignment. You could easily spin this into a tragic protector who embraced rot to save others, which gives it surprising depth for something so grotesque. From there, things get shakier. The Circle of the Titan Druid is universally praised for concept and criticized for execution. Turning into a kaiju should feel incredible. Instead, it lands with a thud mechanically. The damage scaling is underwhelming, and the fantasy of being a city-destroying force doesn't match what actually happens at the table. It's a classic case of great idea, not enough follow-through. Then comes the Hell Knight Fighter, which sparks a mix of frustration and reluctant appreciation. The infernal theme is strong, and there are flashes of something interesting in the wound mechanics and hellfire flavor. But the subclass struggles with inconsistency and low impact. Too much of its power hinges on random dice results that rarely trigger in meaningful ways, leaving it feeling unreliable when it should feel terrifying. The episode rounds out with a broader discussion about villain-focused design, but we circle back to the same core idea: these options feel like they were built more for NPCs than for players. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it creates tension. Players want power they can feel every session, not mechanics that only shine in theory or rare edge cases. By the end, the verdict is clear. There's a lot to like here, especially in tone and ambition. But the execution is uneven. Some pieces feel ready to drop into a campaign tomorrow, while others need serious reworking to live up to their promise.

Show Notes: This episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast takes what could easily be a dry rules discussion and turns it into something genuinely useful and, surprisingly, fun. We dig into the Pathfinder 2e research subsystem and why it succeeds where other systems, especially Tasha's Cauldron of Everything, barely scratch the surface. We start by contrasting how research is handled in D&D versus Pathfinder. In 5e, research is mostly a quick roll and move on. It exists, technically, but lacks structure and payoff. Pathfinder 2e, on the other hand, treats research like a full encounter system. It becomes a narrative engine that drives exploration, roleplay, and discovery over time rather than a single die roll. We break down how the subsystem actually works in play. Research isn't just go to a library and roll a check. It's framed as a long-form skill challenge where players move between locations, NPCs, and clues, slowly building toward a goal. Each action contributes to a pool of research points, which unlock tiers of information and rewards. What makes this system compelling is the structure behind it. You have a library, which can be anything from an actual archive to a dungeon or social event. You have specific research opportunities tied to people, places, or objects. And you have thresholds that reward players with information, tools, or advantages as they progress. Real magic comes from pressure and stakes. Without a time limit, rival group, or resource drain, the system collapses into a simple skill check. But add urgency and suddenly every choice matters. Do you keep digging for more information, or act now with what you have? That tension is where the system shines. We spend time on the practical side of running it. Good GMs don't just track points, they narrate discoveries, guide players through conversations, and then clarify key information at the end so nothing gets lost. The system works best when it feels like roleplay first and mechanics second, even if the GM is tracking everything behind the scenes. At the end of the episode, we build a research challenge on the fly, using a vampire hidden at a royal party as the central mystery. It's a perfect example of how flexible the subsystem is. With just a few moving parts, you get a tense, social investigation where time, choices, and consequences all matter. The takeaway is clear. The research subsystem is not just about gathering information. It's a framework for turning investigation into gameplay that feels meaningful, structured, and dynamic. Key Takeaways Pathfinder 2e treats research as a full subsystem, not a single skill check, creating a more engaging and layered experience Research challenges function like extended skill challenges where players accumulate points over time to unlock information The library is flexible and can be any setting, including cities, dungeons, parties, or even social networks Research opportunities should be varied and limited, encouraging players to explore multiple avenues instead of repeating the same action Thresholds are critical and should deliver meaningful rewards such as key clues, new options, or mechanical advantages Time pressure, rival groups, or resource attrition are essential to make the system feel tense and meaningful GMs should prioritize narrative delivery during play but clarify important information after interactions to avoid confusion The system can be run openly with visible points or entirely behind the scenes depending on player preference Overuse of checks without narrative engagement can make the system feel tedious, so pacing and storytelling matter When players fully engage and maximize research, it is okay for them to trivialize the final challenge because they earned it

Dive into our literary analysis of A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas, the bestselling author behind the global phenomenon A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR). In this season, we break down ACOSF through an academic lens, using our combined 13 years of literary training to analyze Nesta Archeron's character arc, Cassian and Nesta's relationship, and the deeper themes driving Sarah J. Maas's storytelling. We explore key elements of the novel, including symbolism, metaphor, imagery, and character development, while examining major A Court of Silver Flames themes like trauma, healing, power, and transformation within the ACOTAR series. Spoilers: This episode contains full spoilers for A Court of Silver Flames, the entire ACOTAR series (A Court of Thorns and Roses, A Court of Mist and Fury, A Court of Wings and Ruin, and Frost and Starlight). Any other books or larger Sarah J. Maas universe theories and connections will be discussed in a separate Breadcrumbs and Broomsticks episode. Chapters Summary: After learning Feyre's pregnancy may be deadly, Nesta agrees to scry for the Dread Trove. She travels with Cassian and Azriel to the bog of Oorid in the hopes of finding the Mask. When they are ambushed and separated. Nesta is left alone and terrified, for her life and for Cassian's. Desperate to find the warrior, Nesta stumbles upon a kelpie that drags her beneath the water, forcing her to relive the terror of the Cauldron. This time, however, she fights back—calling the Mask of the Dread Trove and emerging victorious. When they see her and her army of the dead, Cassian and Azriel bow to her as Lady Death. That night, shaken but alive, Nesta and Cassian finally give in to the emotional and physical bond growing between them. Each week, we ask ourselves a question: If Nesta and Rhys mirror one another, then what does it mean for them to call a “truce” and can they ever truly adhere to the truce between them?

The cauldron is bubbling, the inbox is overflowing, and this week Laylla and Chelle are finally answering your questions… and oh, you brought some good ones.In this cozy, chaotic, wisdom-filled episode, the witches gather up your fan mail, your voicemails (yes, you can send those now!), and your late-night spiritual spirals, and they answer it all with the kind of honesty that only comes from decades of lived, practiced magic. It's part advice column, part coven circle, and part “wait… are we really talking about this right now?” energy.They wander through the wild terrain of tarot, where elemental associations get shaken up and turned on their head. What happens when swords feel like fire and wands start whispering like air? Is that wrong… or is that your intuition trying to speak? Laylla and Chelle unpack the history, the why, and the permission you didn't know you needed to read the cards your way.Then things get practical. When a single tarot pull leaves you squinting at the cards like, “girl, what do you mean?”, do you pull another? Reshuffle? Sit in the discomfort? The witches talk about trusting the conversation between you and the deck, and why sometimes clarity isn't about more cards, but more listening.From there, the questions get deeper. Can you cast multiple spells close together, or does that drain you dry like an oversteeped tea bag? What does real cleansing look like beyond TikTok trends and conflicting traditions? And maybe the most tender thread of all… how do you walk a spiritual path without losing your grip on reality?This episode gently but firmly explores the difference between spiritual experience and spiritual psychosis. Not with fear, but with care. No judgment, but with grounded, real-world wisdom. Because magic, as they remind us, should expand your life, not isolate you from it.And just when you think you've reached the end of the circle, they open a new door. A brand new PO Box. A chance to send something physical into the world. And for one lucky listener, the opportunity to receive a personalized spell pen pal letter crafted by the witches themselves. A little piece of magic, inked and intentional, arriving right at your doorstep.This one feels like sitting around the kitchen table long after the candles have burned low. Honest. Thoughtful. A little messy in the best way. The kind of episode that reminds you you're not alone on this path… even when you're figuring it out as you go.So grab your cards, your tea, maybe a notebook if you're feeling studious, and settle in.The witches are answering.Books:Tarot Deciphered: Decoding Esoteric Symbolism in Modern Tarot M M Meleen, T Susan Chang,Tarot Correspondences: Ancient Secrets for Everyday ReadersT.

In this episode of The Square Based Show, Rob and Val dive deep into the first major DRAFT update for the Renegade Army Lists—starting with the Dark Elves. This isn't just a minor tweak; it's a "2.0" overhaul designed to bring the Legacy Dark Elf list up to par with the Core factions in Warhammer: The Old World. Val discusses his process of "vibing" with the faction, addressing community feedback, and his quest to restore the "hateful" identity of the Druchii while respecting the power level of the current edition. From the return of iconic spells to points adjustments for the War Hydra and Cold One Knights, we break down every magenta-highlighted change in the new document. *Read the DRAFT Renegade Dark Elves here:*  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DxVMfxgaDnemxkmqxatHZwGNv0i1rRoekbsmVKgmRmA/edit?usp=sharing *Share your Feedback here (or in the comments below)* https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeVv-GMpx67sRR1v8aetdHUtwt77WS4lfv_-D5GhNrCNVutbQ/viewform Chapters: 0:00 - Intro & The "Tough Look" 1:11 - What is Renegade 2.0? 2:41 - The State of Dark Elves 4:35 - Rumors & The "Old World" Future 6:40 - Design Philosophy: Power vs. Flavor 8:14 - The Lore of Naggaroth & Copyrights 11:03 - Problem Children: Shrines & Sisters 12:42 - How to Read the New Document 16:28 - Grand Army Composition Tweak 18:51 - Special Rules: Hatred & Hektari's Blessing 24:30 - Magic Items  28:06 - Magic: The Lore of Naggaroth 31:44 - Characters: Sorceresses & Beastmasters 33:14 - Death Hags & Khaine's Assassins 36:51 - Mounts & The Cold One Problem 38:51 - Core Units: Darkshards & Corsairs 41:48 - Elite Infantry: Black Guard & Executioners 45:49 - Shades & Witch Elves 51:48 - The Sisters of Slaughter Debate 59:22 - Doomfire Warlocks: The "Necessary" Nerve 1:02:42 - The Cauldron of Blood 1:05:22 - Monsters: The War Hydra & Kharibdyss 1:10:16 - Closing Thoughts & Audience Questions MENTIONED IN THIS VIDEO: ► *Rob's Old World EVENTS in Nottingham!* https://tsnarena.com/events/category/the-old-world/ ► *Tickets for Canhammer Teams in Ottawa May 2 and 3*  https://www.ccbb.ca/tickets ►  Support us on *PATREON* and join us on Discord: https://www.patreon.com/Squarebased *OLD WORLD RESOURCES* ► *Square Based Comp AND Tournament Packs*    https://thehonestwargamer.com/warhammer-the-old-world/square-based-comp/ ► *The Square Based FAQ:* https://www.squarebased.com/faqs ► *The Renegade Legacy Pack:*  https://www.squarebased.com/ ► *Our 500pt Foray Pack:* https://thehonestwargamer.com/warhammer-the-old-world-500-point-foray/ ► *Old World Army Builder:* https://old-world-builder.com/ ► *Old World Rules Wiki:* https://tow.whfb.app/ ► *Old World Rankings (Past and Upcoming Old World Events:* https://oldworldrankings.com/ *MERCH*   https://thehonestwargamer.com/product-category/square-based/ Youtube Music Playlist for Audio Only:  https://tinyurl.com/SB-YouTube-Music-Playlist Podcast on all other Platforms:  https://squarebasedpodcast.podbean.com/ #squarebased #warhammertheoldworld #warhammerfantasy

Dive into our literary analysis of A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas, the bestselling author behind the global phenomenon A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR). In this season, we break down ACOSF through an academic lens, using our combined 13 years of literary training to analyze Nesta Archeron's character arc, Cassian and Nesta's relationship, and the deeper themes driving Sarah J. Maas's storytelling. We explore key elements of the novel, including symbolism, metaphor, imagery, and character development, while examining major A Court of Silver Flames themes like trauma, healing, power, and transformation within the ACOTAR series. Spoilers: This episode contains full spoilers for A Court of Silver Flames, the entire ACOTAR series (A Court of Thorns and Roses, A Court of Mist and Fury, A Court of Wings and Ruin, and Frost and Starlight). Any other books or larger Sarah J. Maas universe theories and connections will be discussed in a separate Breadcrumbs and Broomsticks episode. Chapters Summary: Afraid of remaining powerless, Gwyn joins training and when Nesta deepens her friendship with Emerie, the shopkeeper joins them in the training ring at the House of Wing. Tension rises around the Dread Trove and Nesta's power and the need for the Inner Circle to find the items before Queen Briallyn. Cassian opens up about feeling outmatched by Eris, and in a rare vulnerable moment, he and Nesta grow closer physically, their bond tightening through their shared desire, shame, and care. Inspired by Gwyn and Emerie's bravery, Nesta agrees to try scrying for the Trove. When she fails, she crashes back into self-loathing and isolation, triggering a nightmare tied to the Cauldron that results in an uncontrollable burst of her power, forcing Rhys to step in and help her, revealing the truth of her Cauldron-made power in the process. What are Nesta's outlets and / or inspirations in this section, and do these reflect a turning point in her development as a character?

And so, March slides easily away between the trees, whispering of storm clouds, sudden frost, and sunshine on new bloomed wild plums.She leaves stars of chickweed in the grass and dandelions lifting bright and eager faces to the sky.She holds the door for April, who is nudging her way in, skirts wide and capable, dotted with dogwood blossoms and redbud flowers.There are lilacs in her hair and violets on her shoes and lilies in her hands.We rise to greet her, hands outstretched in welcome, turning briefly to wave to March as she backs away,having done what she could with what she had to bless the land, to remind us of the bond between body and soil,between root and bone, between bloom and blood.Thank you,we wave,blowing a kiss as April sweeps across the threshold and catches us up in her danceof emerging.Welcome to this week's Rituals of Returning newsletter! I am so pleased to announce that pre-orders for print copies of my new book, Thunder and Roses, are now open! Orders from the Etsy shop include special bonuses only available directly from us.

This one is about a boy who lives in a tower in a world of darkness except for the light that comes from “Sunstones” that they have to charge with light beyond the “veil” that surrounded their world. He falls off the tower into another land of ice and snow and has to try to get back to the tower. So far, it is pretty interesting, though my daughter doesn't really like it.(listening to with Tanner): Hatchet—the survival classic for pre-teen boys, we've already listened to this one before and Tanner has read it to himself (and I've also read it to myself as a kid). About a boy who gets in a plane crash on his way to Alaska and has to survive with only a hatchet to keep him company.(listen to self): Warrior Girl Unearthed—I've just barely begun this one, it is the second book following Firekeeper's Daughter and is about the twin nieces of the main character in the first book. It might a little much for me right on the heels of the other one, so I might take a break from listening to it.Thinking about:Doing more local events—I'm reading at PoetSpeak in town again next weekend and was invited to come to a local authors event at the library in a neighboring county for this month as well.

Host Iain Ballantyne talks to guests Gary Blackburn and James Bosbotinis about the Iran War, including the Strait of Hormuz struggle, how the conflict could shatter NATO plus what it has revealed about the state of the Royal Navy.Topics also touched on in their lively chat include the American decision to try and coerce the Tehran regime with the use of airpower alone, conceptual confusion at the heart of the campaign's strategy and the problem of tactical prowess (as demonstrated in the Venezuelan raid) not transferring into realising strategic ends in the Iran War (so far).Gary and James provide their perspective on other matters, such as: the pivotal nature of the Strait of Hormuz battle in shaking up the global order; the falling out between the USA and key allies over a refusal to commit naval forces to opening up the Strait; and its impact on the future of NATO. Is the Alliance dead or might it survive?The United Kingdom's Defence Investment Plan (DIP) paralysis is considered, along with the necessity for the Royal Navy to remain at the heart of defence for island nation, imports-dependent Britain. However, also highlighted is seablindness and a failure at the highest levels of government to understand the how to wield a navy to perform a vital role in reassuring allies and safeguarding national interests.*For more on navies and their activities worldwide, get the magazine!

Chapters Summary: Nesta fights her new routine at every turn. Refusing to eat and train, she uses her words like knives to show her displeasure, especially with Cassian, whose patience starts to crack under the constant rejection. At Windhaven, Nesta humiliates the general in front of his fellow Illyrians as she drowns in hauntings from the Cauldron and her father's death. Meanwhile, Cassian is forced into political games with Eris and the Band of Exiles, leaving him feeling outmatched and raw. Although the tension between Nesta and Cassian comes to a head, which sends both into a tailspin, Nesta finds unexpected sparks of connection in her meetings with Emerie and Gwyn. Do Nesta's actions warrant the title of a traditional “anti-hero”? And how does the characterization of a female anti-hero challenge the reader?

Hey Beautiful Witches Souls me ol Flowers

Dive into our literary analysis of A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas, the bestselling author behind the global phenomenon A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR). In this season, we break down ACOSF through an academic lens, using our combined 13 years of literary training to analyze Nesta Archeron's character arc, Cassian and Nesta's relationship, and the deeper themes driving Sarah J.

Any other books or larger Sarah J. Maas universe theories and connections will be discussed in a separate Breadcrumbs and Broomsticks episode. Chapters Summary: Nesta Archeron is forced into the Cauldron during the war with Hyburn, and instead of breaking she steals power back, and is forever changed. Months later when the war is over, she lives alone in a shabby Velaris apartment, spiraling through wine, one-night stands, and isolation to drown out her guilt and trauma. When Cassian shows up to drag her to the River House, Nesta expects judgment, but does not anticipate Feyre's ultimatum: move to the House of Wind, train with Cassian, and work in the library—or be shipped off to the human lands. Cornered and furious, Nesta agrees, feeling stripped of control all over again. Meanwhile, in addition to his duties as general and training Nesta, Cassian is tasked with a new role he feels ill-suited to accept: playing courtier. What is the balance of character development versus plot-driven narrative in Silver Flames, and how does this compel the reader to feel about Nesta's journey?

Sol LuckmanAs romantically appealing as it might be to our inner child, genuine alchemy absolutely is NOT a chemical process for creating material gold.Rather, inner or internal alchemy is an empowering methodology of self-transformation designed to generate a permanent energy source within—the fabled and utterly misunderstood Philosopher's Stone—that enables a specific form of immortality: the preservation of individual consciousness beyond death.Romancing the (Real) Philosopher's Stone Instead of a physical object, the Philosopher's Stone is actually an energetic structure or nexus located the general region of the solar plexus. A “bio-nuclear generator,” if you will, the Stone is literally cultivated within the alchemist's body over years of dedicated practice. Specifically, the Stone is created by accumulating and packing life force—often referred to as prana, chi, kundalini, and many other names—into the solar plexus area (the “Cauldron”) for men or the womb area for women.This process involves, first and foremost, energy absorption and reabsorption. The practitioner actively pulls energy from the environment, plants, and even negative interactions—then purifies and compresses it into a compact sphere that eventually solidifies into a multidimensional “piezoelectric gem” of sorts.The Stone serves as a veritable stepping stone to real immortality by allowing the individual to store enough power to withstand the dissolution of a coherent individual identity that normally occurs with death.Immortality: The Ultimate Hero's JourneyImmortality doesn't mean living forever in the physical body; rather, it's the alchemical result of “getting out of here alive” or exiting the Matrix into the Dark Sea of Awareness surrounding our limited “reality” with our memory and individuality intact.This is the Ultimate Hero's Journey, a solitary quest for transcendence that differs from the classic hero's journey by focusing on exiting the construct entirely rather than returning to the community.Absent intensive alchemical preparation, death typically results in the loss of individual consciousness as the soul is “reclaimed” or “eaten” by a larger force (variously referred to as the Eagle, Source, Galactic Center, etc.), leading to a collectivist recycling of energy rather than survival of the discrete self.The Role of the Dreambody & the Ghost in the MachineTo achieve immortality, the inner alchemist uses the vast accumulated power of the Philosopher's Stone to energize and project an ideal Dreambody. This etheric form is a new and improved body, an etheric tulpa that serves as a vessel for navigating eternity.The process relies on the Tria Prima of alchemy, interpreted as the unification of three internal aspects: the Father (unconscious), the Son (conscious mind), and the Holy Spirit, identified as the Ghost in the Machine or philosopher's child.This so-called Ghost is a magical aspect of the psyche capable of bridging the conscious and unconscious minds, facilitating creation of the Dreambody.Overcoming the Dragon to Fuel ImmortalityA critical component of alchemical work involves reclaiming energy from a predatory force I like to call the Dragon, which controls the Matrix and feeds on human energy (loosh).Through inner alchemy humans can reverse this predatory dynamic by learning to feed on the Dragon's stolen energy, thereby diminishing its control while increasing their own personal power.Techniques such as shamanic recapitulation (recovering lost energy from the past) and energy gathering (from the past, present, or future) can be paired with healing the Fragmentary Body—a leak in the biofield—in order to accumulate the necessary energetic fuel to construct the Philosopher's Stone.Ultimately, the goal is to amass sufficient power to eventually be able to choose your death and consciously transfer awareness into your Dreambody, thereby avoiding the memory wipe of a standard death and continuing existence as a free, multidimensional entity.So what you are you waiting for?

 Stirring the Cauldron is back after a few months of hiatus while our network, Para X, went undergoing a overhaul from top to bottom and we're better than ever. Tonight our guest are Scottish Spiritualist Medium Steven Scott and Para anthropologist and researcher Ron Kolek.

Let's Chat!!Boo, bitches — we're fact-checking the cauldron.In this episode of C3: Crystals, Cauldrons, & Cocktails, we take a calm, clear look at some of the loudest myths floating around witchy spaces:• “You didn't cleanse enough.” • “You'll accidentally summon a demon.” • “Doubt cancels your spell.” • “You're not activated.”Spoiler: magic is not WiFi, demons are not hiding behind your tealight candle, and being human does not disqualify you from practicing.This is not a call-out. It's a call-in — toward discernment, history, and a steadier kind of power.Sip the cocktail of the week and let's bring clarity back to the craft.Support the showUntil then, Stay Witchy!!River's Etsy Store: www.batsandbaublesinc.etsy.comWebsite: www.c3witchypodcast.comMerch: www.c3witchypodcastmerch.comOur wonderful logo is done by: www.nellamarinadraws.etsy.comIntro and Outro Audio:podcast intro & outro music:Góða Nótt by Alexander NakaradaLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/4754-g-a-n-ttLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-liceSound from Zapsplat.com – Witches Cauldrons bubbling

Marla Brook hosts Stirring the Cauldron with guests Scottish Spiritualist Medium Steven Scott & Para anthropologist and researcher Ron Kolek.

In this episode host Iain Ballantyne talks to guest Steve Kershaw, a former Royal Navy submarine officer, about his amazing career under the sea and his work today helping to bring about the UK'S ‘Hybrid Navy' transformation.Iain kicks off by asking Steve to explain what led him to choose a naval career in the mid-1980s and why it was the engineering side of the Senior Service that appealed most.After talking about his time undergoing Initial Sea Training and being ‘streamed' to the Submarine Service as an engineer, Steve relates how for a short period he returned to the Surface Fleet. He spent time in HMS London, including a foray to Berlin as the infamous Wall dividing East and West came down in late 1989.Steve served in several Royal Navy nuclear-powered hunter killer submarines (SSNs) of the Trafalgar Class, including during the 1991 Gulf War. That boat spent 13 weeks dived in the Mediterranean watching Libya to ensure it did not come into the conflict on the side of Saddam Hussein.Steve also went to sea in the Upholder Class diesel-electric submarine HMS Unicorn for a marathon voyage from the UK to the Indian Ocean and Gulf and back. He reveals to Iain how he found the ‘dirty boat' world aboard Unicorn to be somewhat different to the nukes.While away the UK Government decided to take the four (fairly new) Upholders out of commission, which was a blow. Steve reveals the impact that had on Unicorn's crew. A deployment involving Steve, which hit the headlines for the wrong reasons was that of HMS Tireless as part of Naval Task Group 2000, and which saw a circumnavigation of the world cancelled. The SSN was ‘trapped' in Gibraltar for a year due to serious technical problems and Steve returned home rather than going around the world.Among other things Iain and Steve discuss is his time with Naval Sea Trials Party 30 (NSTP 30) and its work to ensure RN submarine sensors remained on the cutting edge during a continuing contest under the sea.Steve and Iain also discuss how the ‘Hybrid Navy' aims to provide a solution to giving the British fleet of today and tomorrow more mass and presence at sea as part of the new Atlantic Bastion concept.*For more on navies and their activities worldwide, get the magazine!
