Today's Neville Goddard quote:“Because God has given all of us free will, you can choose the states you wish to occupy.””Creation is finished and you have free will to choose the state you will occupy.”Imagination Creates Reality"The important thing to bear in mind is that you have infinite free will in choosing your assumptions, but no power to determine conditions and events. You can create nothing, but your assumption determines what portion of creation you will experience."The Power of AwarenessTT's Question: Why is Free Will important? (What's the one cause?)TT's Question 2: Where does it end? (There is no free will to do.)I've begun to incorporate being still into my method. Old problem shows up. First be still. Then imaginally experience the desired state. Do not go directly to the new state. How long should we be still before moving onto the imaginal experience?How did I imagine up being alone and lonely…. I keep imagining him with me, I am doing affirmations, visualizations and when he doesn't show up I…. I keep doing all the right things but the wrong thing keeps happening?TT note: She imagines he has no free will. That nobody else does in her reality. Because you treat money as a big thing.And you' have a single size.What and how do I do imagine?; in October I and my best friend are going to Greece, on ”last minute trip” and I now read is how bad the reviews are about the hotel we are going to stay at.(we SHOULD read before we booked the trip, but at the time I was SO sure that this trip IS wonderful that I didn't) All I wanted was to remember this trips as a wonderful, lovely and FUN vacation with my friend. Because she is a queen and I AM also a queen.But I lost it after reading those bad reviews… Ann in Sweden Question: How to stay focused on your ideal (i.e., stay in state) when everyone/everything around you is spouting negativity (including your husband)? Thanks,MarieHello Twenty and Victoria!"I will not hear or accept anything but that which contributes to the noble concept that I hold of myself. I will see that I am secure, and maybe a headline will startle the world, but I will not accept it, for if I don't admit to it, it can't proceed out of me. For all things when they are admitted are made manifest, unless they are not admitted. So. if I now will admit that using this moment as my moment to invest, if I am what reason denies, what my senses deny, and I proceed in that assumption, knowing that even though it doesn't confirm itself tonight or tomorrow, I will still live in the assumption that I am what I want to be and all day tune in and listen only for the good report. I know these are investments and tomorrow these dividend checks must come."Neville Goddard (Sound Investments)Manifesting is a movement…Within me. My desires come from…The deep of me. It is as though I throw out…An image before me…And proceed to step into it. In the moment of conception…I am fully Persuaded!The seed has its own plan…And power of fulfillment. Scripture declares…“For he that has entered into His rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from His.”My soul's satisfaction…Is in the SILENCE. In silence my soul sings…It's sacred song. There I fall so in Love with…My precious desire…Enchanted and intoxicated…I am moved by her image…Imagining is…Image-Ing…Made manifest. Looking forward to conversation with you all. Thank you!

“I crack the tab open, and I feel the cold metal… I hear the tink and give of the aluminum. And maybe when I'm done, I crush it into a small patty.” — Ian Bogost on the everyday enchantment of a Diet Coke can Don't sweat the small stuff is one of the most persistent (and annoying) mantras of the self-help industry. But the counter-intuitive Atlantic columnist Ian Bogost advises the opposite. In his new book, The Small Stuff, Bogost suggests that gratification lies in our appreciation of small stuff like the crinkle of empty Diet Coke cans and the foldability of plane tickets. Max Weber argued that disenchantment was the defining quality of modernity, but in The Small Stuff, Bogost maps a way back to it. What we need to get away from, he says, is “optimization” — metrics, feedback loops, money as a proxy for a place in heaven. Rather than the cult of delayed gratification, pick up that empty coke can and revel in its architectural glory. Or lick a tree. That's how to be enchanted in postmodernity. Five Takeaways • Sweat the Small Stuff. Bogost inverts three decades of self-help orthodoxy: the small stuff is precisely what we should be sweating. The crack of a Diet Coke tab, the cold metal warming in your hand, the can crushed into a patty before the recycling bin — these sensory encounters are not where deep purpose lives, and Bogost never claims they are. But they recur every day, sometimes several times a day, and accepting them as meaningful rather than as noise to get through delivers what he calls a surprising payload of engagement and enchantment. For some it's Diet Coke; for others, woodworking, gardening, or the gear shift of a manual transmission. • Dematerialization: How We Lost the World. The book's central diagnosis is what Bogost calls dematerialization — the slow disconnection from the physical world driven by convenience technologies. The QR code that replaced the concert ticket you might have pinned to a bulletin board. The automatic faucet you wave at awkwardly in the public restroom — which never works, and doesn't even save water; it just makes buildings easier to manage. The process is decades old, hardly limited to computers, and it stripped the texture from everyday life so gradually that nobody noticed what was being given up. • It's Sensory, Not Physical — and Not Anti-Tech. This is not a go-touch-grass book. Bogost insists the small stuff is sensory rather than physical, and that smartphones are compelling precisely because they are delightful — the smooth glass that demands to be touched, the thunderstorm animation in the weather app. Everything is technology, including the clothes on your body and the language in your mouth. He gave his twelve-year-old a smartwatch rather than banning screens, because parenting means living in the same world as your kids — and kids must live a contemporary life to become the adults who invent the next one. • We Already Got Rid of God — So Meaning Had to Move. Pressed on Weber and the Protestant ethic, Bogost argues that secularization emptied out the place where meaning used to live — good works justified by an infinite time in heaven — and replaced it with happiness, purpose, and wealth as proxies. The result is a hyper-optimized, future-oriented culture in which everything worth doing is worth doing for some later payoff. Bogost admits he struggles with this himself: the health wearable he wears while writing a book against quantification. What he loves about his morning walk isn't the step count. It's the twigs crunching underfoot. • The Quietism Charge — and the AI Twist. Isn't this stoicism for the age of Trump, the same charge leveled at Heidegger's silence before the Nazis? Bogost anticipates the critique: we are and must be both political creatures and creatures who live moment to moment in our bodies — he asks no one to abandon the fight, only to stop missing the life underneath it. And the timing is no accident. As AI takes over the big stuff, Bogost suspects it may push us back into the sensory world — he consults ChatGPT about fixing his range thermostat, then goes and fixes it with his hands. About the Guest Ian Bogost is a contributing writer at The Atlantic and the author of eleven books, including The Small Stuff and Play Anything. He is the Barbara and David Thomas Distinguished Professor at Washington University in St. Louis, where he teaches computer science and engineering, film and media studies, and art and design. He is also an award-winning game designer whose work is held in collections including the Smithsonian American Art Museum. He is the author of The Small Stuff: How to Lead a More Gratifying Life (Simon & Schuster, July 7, 2026).

On this week's Lang Fairy Tales episode we're encountering a tale by folklorist Charles Deulin, The Enchanted Canary.Positioned as a legend out of Flanders, it sees a prince head out to find a wife whose skin is not white or pink...Perhaps wisely, he goes south, following his dream of an orange grove, waylaid by witches, bricklayers, and his own inability to follow advice.A surprisingly rounded story, packed with gags and some genuine pearls of wisdom - “The danger which is most to be feared is never the danger we are most afraid of...” - it's an excitingly rich fairy tale, as we discuss in the analysis section at the end. Is it a retelling of the Solar Prince? Is it a tale about the integration of the Anima? Is it about how great immigration can be?Is it all three at once?!Let's get into it - and of course we really hope you enjoy the episode! Speak to you again on Saturday for our Herefordshire-themed Three Ravens Live Show, recorded last weekend at Leominster Festival!If you are unfamiliar with the Lang Fairy Tales, these seminal collections were assembled between 1889 and 1913 by a married couple, folklorists and translators Nora and Andrew Lang, with most of the work done to compile them completed by Nora, also known as Leonora Blanche Alleyne.Assembled and published in 12 colour-coded "Fairy Books," the corpus the Langs put together included 798 fairy tales from across cultures, many of which had never before been translated into English.They were amongst the most influential books of their time, changing the course of children's literature - although they're hardly just for children, and often deal with quite challenging concepts.Today, purchasing a complete set of the Lang Fairy Books in good condition costs over £4,000 ($5,000+).Thankfully, the collections are all out of copyright, meaning that we can now tell these stories, in podcast form, many for the first time, and share them with a global audience, for free.Our plan is to release the stories between main series of Three Ravens, performing them straight (though with plenty of silly voices) letting the tales speak for themselves in all their madcap, sharp-edged, often quite bizarre glory.The only edits we have made are to amend some culturally-insensitive epithets, which typically pertain to ethnicity, with any such edits made by Eleanor Conlon.Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?REGISTER FOR THE TALES OF SOUTHERN ENGLAND TOURVisit our website Join our Patreon Social media channels and sponsors Hosted on Acast.

Send a MessageWhat is magic?Before spells, charms, talismans, and grimoires, there was a more fundamental question: what is the power that makes magic possible?In this episode of The Hidden Passage, we explore magical power as it appears across cultures, religions, folklore traditions, and esoteric systems throughout history. From the mana of Melanesia, to the orenda of the Huron, the heka of ancient Egypt, the dori of Amazonian shamans, and the qi of Daoist philosophy, we uncover a recurring vision of reality—one in which the world is alive, participatory, and permeated by hidden forces.Drawing on mythology, anthropology, religious studies, folklore, and historical accounts of magical practice, we examine:• The sacred origins of magical power• Mana, orenda, heka, qi, and other concepts of spiritual force• Sacred sites, magical objects, and the principle of contagion• Shamanic initiation and spirit-bestowed power• The evil eye and innate human potency• Asceticism, yoga, and the cultivation of mystical abilities• Magical causality and participation in the cosmos• The relationship between magicians, spirits, and the divine• Why magical traditions emerge across cultures worldwideFar from being irrational superstition, magical worldviews propose a radically different understanding of reality—one in which human beings participate directly in the deeper forces that shape existence.This episode serves as the foundation for a new series exploring the history, philosophy, and practice of magic.

We would invite you to join the Leaving Egypt community on Substack by becoming a paid subscriber: https://leavingegyptpodcast.substack.com/subscribeIn this episode, Al Roxburgh and Jenny Sinclair meet Tim Soerens. Tim is a wild dreamer - in the very best sense - who describes his development in terms of a “re-enchantment with Christian faith”. Tim is on a rich, imaginative journey fostering ways of being church within creative experiments of local life – through postures, practices and relationships rather than programmes. Dedicated to flourishing neighbourhoods, he has become convinced of the need for stronger local economies, and now, to that end, he convenes collaborations across faith and secular lines. Tim sees the Christian imagination offering many gifts along that road, especially through local-scale partnerships that shift congregations to become relational communities in solidarity with their neighbours.Tim Soerens is Executive Director and co-founder of the Parish Collective, an ecumenical network that connects and resources Christians to be church within their local neighbourhoods, focusing on presence, place, and community renewal. He is also co-founder of Neighbourhood Economics which convenes faith leaders and entrepreneurs to catalyse ideas for repairing local economies. Tim studied rhetoric at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and earned his Master of Divinity from The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology.

This conversation will make you want to grab a book and call your kids closer. Meghan Cox Gurdon, author of The Enchanted Hour, explains why reading aloud is one of the most powerful things a parent can do, even though it looks so simple on the surface. It builds language, strengthens attention, and creates a kind of connection that is hard to find anywhere else. Ginny Yurich and Meghan talk about the real-life rhythm of it, the end-of-day pile-on-the-couch moments, the science behind what is happening in a child's brain, and why this matters just as much for teens as it does for little kids. There is no pressure to do it perfectly, just an invitation to start and to keep going. Preorder your copy of Free-Range Girl here Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The controversy centers on a background detail in the 2007 Disney film Enchanted, where a storefront named “Epstein's Books” appears briefly on screen. On its own, that might be brushed off as coincidence, but it becomes far harder to ignore when viewed alongside the documented relationship between the film's producer, Barry Josephson, and Jeffrey Epstein. This isn't a loose or incidental connection—it's part of a pattern where Epstein, a man already publicly disgraced by 2008, continued to move comfortably within elite circles, maintaining access to powerful figures in entertainment. The idea that his name would casually appear in a major studio film, while individuals tied to him were still engaging with him behind the scenes, raises serious questions about awareness, normalization, and the culture that allowed Epstein's influence to persist.The underlying records describe a relationship that goes well beyond a one-off interaction, pointing to financial dependence, ongoing communication, and favors exchanged over years. Josephson reportedly borrowed substantial sums from Epstein and maintained contact long after Epstein's crimes were known, which makes claims of ignorance increasingly difficult to take at face value. This wasn't passive association—it reflects a willingness to overlook, excuse, or compartmentalize Epstein's behavior in exchange for access, money, or opportunity. That dynamic is exactly what enabled Epstein's network to function for so long, with powerful individuals treating him as useful rather than radioactive. Josephson's later apology for “poor judgment” reads less like accountability and more like damage control, especially when weighed against the duration and depth of the relationship being described.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:'Epstein's bookstore' appears in Disney film Enchanted produced by pal who offered predator 'assistant with great rack'

Our Lang Fairy Tale episode for today is a double bill, The Enchanted Pig and The Norka.The Enchanted Pig is a very well known Romanian folk tale, which appears in many different forms, and it's a whole lot of fun! The story compares to East of the Sun and West of the Moon - and possibly wins out against it? Collected by the father of Romanian folklore Petre Ispirescu, we think it's one of the good ones.We follow that on with The Norka, which the Langs took from one of Alexander Afanasyev's many collections of Ukrainian and Russian tales. If you're wondering what a 'norka' is, you might not leave the story any the wiser, though it's an excellent adventure with palaces hidden in eggs, helpful birds, and quite possibly a polyamorous wedding at the end.As ever, we talk about the stories, their history and their tale types - and try out a few more silly voices for our collection!If you are unfamiliar with the Lang Fairy Tales, these seminal collections were assembled between 1889 and 1913 by a married couple, folklorists and translators Nora and Andrew Lang, with most of the work done to compile them completed by Nora, also known as Leonora Blanche Alleyne.Assembled and published in 12 colour-coded "Fairy Books," the corpus the Langs put together included 798 fairy tales from across cultures, many of which had never before been translated into English.They were amongst the most influential books of their time, changing the course of children's literature - although they're hardly just for children, and often deal with quite challenging concepts.Today, purchasing a complete set of the Lang Fairy Books in good condition costs over £4,000 ($5,000+).Thankfully, the collections are all out of copyright, meaning that we can now tell these stories, in podcast form, many for the first time, and share them with a global audience, for free.Our plan is to release the stories between main series of Three Ravens, performing them straight (though with plenty of silly voices) letting the tales speak for themselves in all their madcap, sharp-edged, often quite bizarre glory.The only edits we have made are to amend some culturally-insensitive epithets, which typically pertain to ethnicity, with any such edits made by Eleanor Conlon.Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?REGISTER FOR THE TALES OF SOUTHERN ENGLAND TOURVisit our website Join our Patreon Social media channels and sponsors Hosted on Acast.

In Late Antiquity (ca. 200–600 CE), the world was alive with unseen forces—divine agents who influenced every aspect of daily life. For most ordinary people, religion was not found in temples, synagogues, and churches, but in lived experience as they interacted with the supernatural in a world of uncertainty and danger. In An Enchanted World, Michael Satlow uncovers a shared spiritual landscape that stretched beyond the confines of Judaism, Christianity, and the pantheon of Greek and Roman deities. From healing rituals to protective amulets, spiritual practices were a matter of necessity, transcending religious labels. To get by in the world required being on good terms with the right supernatural beings and being able to ward off the bad ones.Rejecting traditional narratives that focus on institutional religion and theological divisions, Satlow presents a compelling case for viewing the period through the lens of “lived religion.” This was not a religion of abstractions formulated by rabbis and priests, but an enchanted world populated by divine beings who had as much—if not more—agency as any person. Drawing on archaeological evidence, historical documents, and a rich trove of magical texts, Satlow vividly reconstructs how ordinary people lived in a world that crackled with the energy of the supernatural. His account reimagines the spiritual history of Late Antiquity, centering shared human fears and aspirations and challenging preconceived notions about religious boundaries. With An Enchanted World, Satlow offers a fresh perspective on a transformative period—one that has much to teach us even today about the role that spirituality can play in the secular world.

Ten years, two businesses, and a thousand moments where I smiled when I should have held the line.In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on a decade of running the Sisters Enchanted and the witch wound that slowly cost me more time, energy, and money than anything else in my business.We're talking about confrontation avoidance, space-filling, and peacekeeping at the expense of your own power. And why - if you're a woman who over-explains, over-smiles, and bends yourself into a pretzel so nobody feels bad - this might be your witch wound too.What Is the Witch Wound?The witch wound is the ancestral and personal pattern of fear that keeps women small. The fear of being seen, fear of speaking up, and fear of confrontation. It shows up in the body, in relationships, and in how we trust ourselves. And...it has very real costs.In this episode, I share:-How Sisters Enchanted started (the messy, non-linear origin story)-The two specific witch wounds I've been healing for 10 years-Why confrontation avoidance is one of the most expensive patterns a woman can carry-The "filling space" habit that keeps you managing everyone else's emotions instead of your own-How choice and agency can dissolve resentment and change your trajectoryIs This Your Witch Wound?➡️ Do you over-explain yourself after setting a boundary?➡️ Do you smile and laugh things off when you're actually frustrated?➡️ Do you fill silence with validation and softening even when you were clear?➡️ Do you avoid conflict to keep the peace, and then silently pay for it?If yes...this episode is for you.Key Takeaways:✨ Starting before you're ready opens doors that perfectionism keeps closed✨ Confrontation avoidance has real financial and energetic costs✨ You don't have to fill every silence ✨ Everybody has choice and agency - their reaction is not your responsibility to manage✨ The witch wound shows up quietly in the smile, the over-explanation, and the joke you make when you want to hold the groundWant to go deeper on the witch wound?

Emily Dickinson and Charles Darwin both saw nature as alive with mystery – and treated wonder as a way of knowing. Literary scholar and science historian Renee Bergland, author of "Natural Magic," is our guide to the forgotten kinship between the reclusive poet and the celebrated naturalist. Dickinson and Darwin never met, but they had at least one close friend in common. Both were both fascinated by fossils. Both wandered the woods and swamps near their homes, studying insects and documenting rare plants. They shared a vision of the interconnectedness of all life. We know that Dickinson, with her background in botany, geology, astronomy and chemistry, was enthralled by Darwin's evolutionary theory. And it certainly seems possible that Darwin, with his degree in theology and his lifelong love of poetry and literature, might have admired the American poet whose close observations and delicate perceptions echoed his own. Bergland's dual biography, just out in paper, is vivid, sparkling intellectual history – a window onto a time when scientific thinking still embraced emotion and wonder as modes of perception. Could the belief in “natural magic” that infused Dickinson's and Darwin's ideas restore our own faith in a universe alive with meaning? Our conversation about the poet who studied natural history and the naturalist who loved poetry suggests a way forward – by reclaiming their shared ecological wonder. — Now out in paperback: "Natural Magic: Emily Dickinson, Charles Darwin, and the Dawn of Modern Science" Previous books from Renee Bergland: "Maria Mitchell and the Sexing of Science: An Astronomer Among the American Romantics" and "The National Uncanny: Indian Ghosts and American Subjects" —0:00 — Meeting Renee Bergland9:00 — What Is Natural Magic?20:00 — Beauty, Truth, and Evolution34:00 — Hope and the Garden of Change Wonder Cabinet is hosted by Anne Strainchamps and Steve Paulson.
