About Today's Guest: Stephen Crimi […] The post Steve & Krys Crimi | Hermes, Inverted Myth, Sacrifice, & Gnosis appeared first on The Higherside Chats.

A weary wish turns a princess into a raven and launches a map of descent: a forest thick with symbols, an old woman's tempting cup, a heap of alchemical tan, and a precise appointment at 2 PM when the sun's power wanes. We follow that map step by step, using a Grimm story to illuminate the eighth house as lived experience—where unprocessed memory, shame, appetite, and inheritance ask for contact rather than conquest.I walk you through the seeker's predictable failures and the deeper lesson they reveal: the unconscious will not be bullied by willpower. Then the tale widens—endless bread and wine, a name-inscribed ring, and a letter that points toward the Golden Castle of Stromburg. Giants appear as the embodiment of hunger. Instead of slaying them, we feed them, win their help, and unearth an ancient map that remembers what modern maps forgot. That's the eighth house in practice: respect timing, befriend the beast, and let old knowledge guide the next mile.At the base of a glass mountain we wait—a year of vigil—until trickster tools arrive: a staff that opens doors, a mantle of invisibility, and a horse made for impossible slopes. With a touch of Hermes, we ascend. The ring sings in the chalice; the raven-princess and seeker reunite; inner masculine and feminine align. Along the way we thread white, red, and black through the story's veins, and connect ravens, crows, Odin's messengers, Apollo and Coronis, Perseus and Pegasus, and the alchemy of the negrito.If you're navigating Scorpio season or moving through your own eighth house work, this journey offers a practical myth: how to enter, endure, and exit the underworld with something worth bringing back.

The Superhero Show #607Cadillacs and Dinosaurs: SiegeThe Superhero Show: Cadillacs and Dinosaurs — “Siege” (Episode 1.04)This week on The Superhero Show, the hosts rev their engines and dive into episode 1.04, “Siege,” of Cadillacs and Dinosaurs. In this fierce chapter, Jack Tenrec and his team face a full-scale assault on Jack's Garage. As the poachers tighten their grip and alliances fracture, the danger hits close to home.A Calm ShatteredJack patrols the jungle, tracking poacher brothers Hammer, Vice and Wrench as they hunt rare tri-colour jumbucks for the black market. The hosts relish the tension when Jack upends their skirmish with a rifle blast, sets off their bikes and forces them on foot back to their camp. This moment of calm destroys the poachers' bravado and signals a shift in power.Meanwhile, Hannah Dundee arrives at Jack's Garage with a stowaway in tow—Mikla, a former poacher claiming to escape a gang life. It's here the episode pivots. Mikla's sudden appearance coincides with an ominous attack, and the seamless transition from suspicion to chaos keeps the hosts on edge. They probe her motives and the uneasy trust between Jack and his reluctant ally.The Siege UnfoldsAs the Garage comes under siege, Jack, Hannah, Kirgo and Mikla reel from multiple threats: poachers scaling walls, lava launchers malfunctioning, and Hermes the allosauric guardian messing up valves in the worst possible moment. The hosts focus sharply on this sequence, where Jack suits up in an armored lava-clearance rig and descends under volcanic pressure to save the day. They highlight how the setting itself becomes a weapon.With the Garage moat bypassed, the poachers launch grenades and take hostages. Jack and Hannah are forced to surrender—only to fight back in a blaze of molten lava, mammoth-sized creature chaos and cunning teamwork. The hosts emphasize how the action delivers both spectacle and stakes, proving this isn't just another kid's cartoon.Loyalties TestedAs the dust settles, Mikla reveals essential intel: the first strike was only a test and a bigger assault looms from “higher ground.” Hannah nurses doubts, but Jack blames no one. In this quieter moment, the hosts explore the show's deeper message: in a world rebuilt, the line between predator and protector is foggy. Earth's survivors must choose not just who to fight—but how.Final Thoughts: Siege Raises the Stakes“Siege” stands out as a standout episode of Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, blending pulpy action with emotional undertones and wild set-pieces. The hosts conclude that this episode doesn't just show Jack defending his home—it shows him defining it. Hyper-action, moral challenge and high-voltage thrills collide in a garage under fire and a hero against impossible odds.Whether you're here for dinosaurs, Cadillacs, or the human fight for balance, The Superhero Show invites you along for the ride.

About the Lecture: "Our democracy is getting self-destroyed, for it abused the rights of freedom and of equality; for it taught the citizens to regard insolence as a right, illegality as freedom, impertinence as equality, and anarchy as happiness." Isocrates, Athenian orator (436-338 BC) Democracy first emerged in ancient Athens in 507 BC following a long turbulent period of aristocracy and tyranny, when a nexus of intertwined geopolitical, sociopolitical, economic, and cultural developments led to the morphogenesis of this new political constitution. Athenian Democracy formulated the political ideology and fundamental principles that were later canonized by modern democracies, formalized defensive mechanisms against undue concentration of power and employed innovative integrative mechanisms to propagate its ideology and educate the citizens. Pathogenic traits-catalysts, however, such as the extreme polarization between mass and elite, demagogy, populism, failure of justice, apathy, and poor education caused extensive political ankylosis. Internal corrosion and changing historical conditions caused the decline and fall of Democracy three centuries later.Isocrates' aphorism, therefore, rings alarmingly all too pragmatic and relevant today, 250 years since the resurgence of Democracy in the modern era. Are we running a similar cycle, repeating old mistakes, standing at the same juncture, heading towards the same dead end? To navigate forward, find solutions, and shape our future, we need first to study our past.

It's Episode 400!!! A perfect day for Mariaelena and I to finally dive in to...The Emerald Tablet of Hermes. It's something she has been referring to from the days of us first plotting this monthly collaboration, and since I started to explore alchemy, it's been of interest for me to go deeper. This is the translation we're working from for purposes of our conversation."True, without falsehood, certain and most true, that which is above is as that which is below, and that which is below is as that which is above, for the performance of the miracles of the One Thing. And as all things are from One, by the mediation of One, so all things have their birth from this One Thing by adaptation. The Sun is its father, the Moon its mother, and the Wind carries it in its belly, its nurse is the Earth. This is the father of all perfection, or consummation of the whole world. Its power is integrating, if it be turned into earth.Thou shalt separate the earth from the fire, the subtle from the gross, suavely, and with great ingenuity. It ascends from earth to heaven and descends again to earth, and receives the power of the superiors and of the inferiors. So thou hast the glory of the whole world; therefore let all obscurity flee before thee. This is the strong force of all forces, overcoming every subtle and penetrating every solid thing. So the world was created. Hence were all wonderful adaptations, of which this is the manner. Therefore am I called Hermes Trismegistus, having the three parts of the philosophy of the whole world. What I have to tell is completed, concerning the Operation of the Sun."Marielena ties the Tarot to the Tablet, and we work through some of the meaning and purpose of the text. This may be cringy for those of you well steeped in the text, but it's a window into the beginner's mind and how someone, like myself, is coming to it seeking an understanding of how it's relevant to the art of living. We explore the notion of the "One Thing," what are miracles, and what it means to be perfected. Is it a formula for creating, for being like "GOD?" We've got more to go and will continue in our next conversation in December.Today's show was engineered by Ian Seda from Radiokingston.org.Our show music is from Shana Falana!Feel free to email me, say hello: she@iwantwhatshehas.org** Please: SUBSCRIBE to the pod and leave a REVIEW wherever you are listening, it helps other users FIND IThttp://iwantwhatshehas.org/podcastITUNES | SPOTIFYITUNES: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/i-want-what-she-has/id1451648361?mt=2SPOTIFY:https://open.spotify.com/show/77pmJwS2q9vTywz7Uhiyff?si=G2eYCjLjT3KltgdfA6XXCAFollow:INSTAGRAM * https://www.instagram.com/iwantwhatshehaspodcast/FACEBOOK * https://www.facebook.com/iwantwhatshehaspodcast

Send us a textA journey through the ancient mystery of spiritual transformation — from the death of the old self to the birth of the divine within.Across myth and mysticism, every true initiation burns away illusion: Odin hanging on the tree, Hermes beholding the fire of creation, shamans torn apart and remade by spirits, alchemists tending the secret furnace of the soul. Through fire and water, the initiate is dissolved, purified, and reborn — entering the living current that joins all beginnings and ends.This episode explores the second stage of initiation: the ordeal of transformation. Drawing from myth, historical occult texts, and contemporary scholarship, we trace the archetype of supernatural aid, exploring its role in the realization of the true self and world. Support the showAll episodes are available in video format on YouTube Send your personal experiences (spiritual, paranormal), questions, comments, or business inquiries to: hiddenpassagepodcast@gmail.comYou can also send a voice message through SpeakPipeFollow on Instagram & TwitterPlease consider rating/ leaving a review.

After leaving Antioch following the persecution from the Jews Paul and Barnabas come to Iconium and enter the synagogue and begin preaching. Chapter 14 of Acts tells of the unbelieving Jews who stir up the peace of the city, whose people then make an attempt to stone the two Apostles. Their response is to flee to the nearby cities of Lystra and Derbe in Lycaonia (which means "wolf country") in the wild north of Turkey. Verse 10 says that the Apostles cure a crippled man. The unsophisticated heathen now decide that Paul and Barnabas are gods clothed as men. These citizens think that Barnabas is Zeus, the chief god; and Paul is Hermes, the messenger of Zeus. Paul and Barnabas quickly tear their own clothes trying to convince the pagan priests that the Apostles are men like themselves. Paul and Barnabas teach the people of Lystra from the Word of God. The first quotation used was from Jeremiah 10verses12 - one should read the entire context where "Yahweh the Living God" is contrasted with the idols of the nations. Next the population of Lystra turn on Paul, who continues to be persecuted by the Jews who came from Iconium. They stone Paul and drag him out of the city thinking that he was dead. Paul writes on this in 2nd Timothy 3; and I believe he also alludes to it in 2 Corinthians 1verses8-10 (which seems to imply that he was in fact resurrected at that time). Did Paul avoid these vicious foes? No! He stands again and walks back into Lystra - what a witness this is to the power of God. The next day the Apostles continue to travel to Derbe. These cities are part of Galatia - the Apostle Paul would later write a letter to the Galatians. Shortly after the events we have read, Paul and Barnabas revisit those believers and tell them (14verses22) that, "it would be with great pressures on believers that God would bring them into His kingdom". Paul's personal example strongly bore witness to that. The Apostles make administrative arrangements in the communities of the believers and return to Antioch in Syria from where the first missionary journey had started. There they rejoice with their home ecclesia about what God had accomplished through them. Chapter 15 commences by telling us that the Apostles, Paul and Barnabas, had not been with their home ecclesia for very long before believers from Jerusalem come to Antioch in Syria seeking to enforce Jewish customs on these newly baptised converts. A decision is made to resolve the matter by way of a conference in Jerusalem- the year is 44AD. Verse 5 speaks of the matters which are of prime concern to the converts from the Pharisees i.e. keeping the laws of Moses. Peter commences the discussion by explaining how by the conversion of Cornelius God had indicated that these matters were not necessary. What mattered was what they believed. Further the keeping of law was a yoke of bondage which the Jews themselves were not able to keep. Paul and Barnabas speak next and describe how the miracles and signs God did through those Apostles was evidence of God's acceptance of Gentiles, who He would save by His grace. James, the Lord's half-brother, who had acted as Chairman of the Conference, summarises the outcomes in verses 13-21. He adds many supporting Scriptures in his summary. The Council (Conference) writes a letter, the contents of which we are told in verses 22-35; only four binding essentials were to be required of Gentile believers and these were mostly moral behaviours and an attempt not to offend Jewish believers. Two representatives from Jerusalem (Judas and Silas) are chosen to accompany Paul and Barnabas with the circular letter to Gentile converts which was to begin its journey at Antioch. The chapter concludes with a sad rift between Barnabas and Paul over the matter of whether Barnabas' nephew John Mark should accompany them in this task. The result is that Barnabas takes Mark with him and goes to Cyprus, while Paul travels with Silas throughout Syria and Cilicia.

A healing in Lystra triggers the unthinkable: the crowd tries to honor Paul and Barnabas as Zeus and Hermes. From that chaotic moment springs a clear path for sharing faith in a culture of many gods, many stories, and countless assumptions. We walk through how the apostles keep the gospel steady while moving their approach—from synagogue conversations to street-level engagement with people who know little of Scripture but feel the same ancient hunger for joy, meaning, and wholeness.We unpack a practical framework built from Acts 14. First, speak the same good news: Jesus crucified and risen, forgiveness offered to all who believe. Second, help with tangible love: word and deed together, powered by the spiritual gifts the Spirit gives for teaching, mercy, helps, generosity, wisdom, and more. Third, answer deep longings: redirect desire from idols that promise prosperity and control to the living God who already fills our lives with rain, harvest, food, and gladness—and who came to us in Jesus to give what idols never can.Along the way we share stories of serving neighbors, discovering your spiritual gifts by using them, and seeing how acts of love open ears to the message. If you're trying to talk about Jesus with friends who don't share your background, if you're navigating conversations where biblical words don't land, or if you're weary of modern idols that take much and give little, this journey through Lystra offers clarity, courage, and hope.Video available at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsTju_FAWHk

Ever felt the ground give way beneath your life and, somehow, found renewal waiting in the dark? We go there with astrologer Melanie Reinhart as we explore the Eighth House—where loss, endings, and the mysteries of descent turn into a deeper kind of aliveness.We begin with a radical reframing of “death” as the series of mini-deaths that define a lifetime: the mask that falls away, the role that ends, the image we can no longer carry. Melanie brings in Asclepian dream rites to show how healing arrives when we stop managing and start listening. Dreams don't just offer messages; sometimes the dream is the medicine. From Persephone and Inanna to Hermes the psychopomp, myth becomes a living map for honoring thresholds, accepting uncertainty, and noticing the signs that mark true initiation.Intimacy takes center stage as a gateway into the Eighth House. Not all sex is eighth-house, and not all eighth-house intimacy is sexual—what matters is transformation through real energetic exchange. We contrast this with polite arrangements that function but never descend. Along the way, we tackle death denial through the story of Sisyphus: chain up death and you lose meaning. Accept the descent and something winged rises—Pegasus from Medusa's body—foreshadowing the Ninth House's authentic meaning-making that cannot be faked or fast-tracked.This is a guide for moving from the illusion of separateness toward the radiance of love. It's practical, too: don't dig aggressively for shadows; let the underworld emerge. Create sacred space, honor fatigue, keep a journal, and treat dreams as sacred visitors. If you're navigating grief, midlife, or a season of deep change, this conversation offers language, myth, and gentle practices to help you walk on the soul's terms.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who's in transition, and leave a review to help others find these conversations.

Ahad Afridi, CMO for the Americas at Pladis, owner of Godiva, shares how the legacy chocolate house's “hundred-year reboot” is reshaping the brand for a new generation of snackers, particularly millennials and Gen Zers. Episode TranscriptPlease note, this transcript  may contain minor inconsistencies compared to the episode audio. Damian Fowler (00:00):I'm Damian Fowler.Ilyse Liffreing (00:01):And I'm Ilyse Liffreing,Damian Fowler (00:02):And welcome to this edition of The Big Impression.Ilyse Liffreing (00:09):Today we're joined by Ahad Afridi Chief Marketing Officer for the Americas at Pladis, the company behind the Godiva brand, those premium chocolates we all live.Damian Fowler (00:20):We're diving into Godiva's bold new campaign, featuring Leighton Meester portraying the legendary lady, good diver, a modern spin on an iconic story of courage and individuality.Ilyse Liffreing (00:31):We'll talk about how the brand is trying to stand out ahead of the holiday season and how Pladis is evolving its brands for the next generation of snackers.Ahad Afridi (00:40):Let's get into it. It's a comprehensive launch. It's a launch of a new product within the Godiva range called Masterpiece, but it's also the start of a brand reset. And so part of this has an eye towards the now of launching this new product that's great, but also towards activities that are going to happen over the next one year. Godiva turns 100 next year, and so what we wanted to accomplish was the first big step in this centennial, what we call re-imagining of the Godiva brand.Speaker 2 (01:17):Yeah, that's a legacy brand for sure.Speaker 3 (01:18):And happy birthday as well.Speaker 2 (01:20):Thank youSpeaker 3 (01:20):A hundred years. Thank you. Thank you to Godiva. On behalf of Godiva, I'd say thank you.Speaker 1 (01:26):Yeah. In that hundred, how would you define what Godiva stands for as a legacy brand over that century?Speaker 3 (01:34):Godiva is a premium chocolate brand. It's been called a luxury chocolate brand, but we prefer to call it premium because it makes it more accessible, which we can talk about a little bit more. It's a Belgian heritage brand. Belgian chocolates are different than the normal. Speaker 2 (01:51):That's good, in my opinion,Speaker 3 (01:53):Different than the normal chocolate milk-based chocolate, but it's just great tasting, high quality chocolate that you feel great giving to others as a gift and having for yourself as well.Speaker 1 (02:08):So just to ask you about this specific campaign, what made you wanted to bring that legacy as it were up to date? Is that the right way of putting it into today's culture through this campaign?Speaker 3 (02:18):Yeah, in a way. Let's say it's a hundred year reboot because turning a hundred, you have to celebrate your heritage, but reposition for the future. So it's about getting contemporary, bringing some of those traditional values and equities of the brand, but modernizing them for today and starting this, what we call re-imagining with totally new offerings coming over the next one to two years. We've started with what we call Masterpiece, and Masterpiece is a small chocolate piece that comes in a bag with multiple pieces in there, and it's great for sharing with others or treating yourself. So this is the first step. We've just launched this now it's in the market. In the next few weeks you'll see a totally reimagined what we call gold box and truffle box, which is high-end premium chocolate in specialty stores and on the giva.com website where we've totally revamped chocolate and got new offerings in that. So that's coming over the holiday period, Valentine's Day, there'll be another new collection coming next fall. Towards the end of the next year, we'll have some more gifting chocolates available that will be broadly available. And that's the start. And then after that, in the year 2027, we've got other exciting things coming in. So it's a sequenced campaign. Speaker 2 (03:47):Good timing for the holiday season, I'm sure.Speaker 3 (03:50):Exactly, exactly. Holiday seasons are important for us. Every day is important for us, but the holiday seasons are very important for us. Yes.Speaker 2 (03:58):Can you describe a little bit of the campaign itself and what viewers might see and experience as they witness the campaign?Speaker 3 (04:06):Yeah, I guess the first thing you'll see is a wonderful cinematic traditional sort of advertising, which has got some drama in it. It's got wonderful aesthetic, but at its heart it's a product centered ad and the product is celebrated in there, the taste of that. So that's let's say the hero piece or the centerpiece. But in addition, what you'll see is a lot of social content in different variations. You'll see different versions in digital tv. You'll see a billboard coming later, so some nice still art coming there. Now what's unique about this is we didn't look at it as just a specific campaign and a point of time. We look at this as a one year program where we're relaunching the brand. So you'll see Layton Meer again in the holiday periods, Valentine's period and throughout next year. WhySpeaker 1 (05:03):Leighton Meester? I mean, I know Ilyse is a fan.Speaker 2 (05:06):Oh yeah. I mean Gossip Girl lover obviously.Speaker 3 (05:10):Well, she's a great representation of some of the values of Lady Godiva and Lady Godiv was the, let's say the initial inspiration for the brand. It's obviously called Godiva. So she, lady Godiva played a big role in the identity of the brand. But Leighton Meester is someone that we respect a lot. She's very popular, she's highly likable, she's multifaceted, great actor, musician person who has her own specific identity, and we think that's a great person to partner with in thisSpeaker 2 (05:52):Now premium chocolate, that space is a pretty packed one. How does this campaign really help the brand stand out, especially as we head into those important holiday seasons?Speaker 3 (06:04):Yeah, so premium chocolate is a growing segment within overall chocolate. So certainly chocolate's a very broad area, so many different offerings, and premium is a very important segment within that. And there are different offerings within premium. We like to consider Godiva as the high end of the premium segment. And there's something special. It's like in a category full of square shapes and round shapes,Speaker 4 (06:32):You'veSpeaker 3 (06:33):Got Godiva coming in with something totally different. And if you see the Masterpiece product, you'll see it's a very unique sort of shape there. So we pride ourselves in being kind of the premium of the premium but being accessible. And it's our goal to provide unique offerings that really tastes great and are cut above the rest of premium, but yet at let's say a fingertip away from desire.Speaker 1 (07:04):When you say relaunch, what does that mean? Does it mean like you're trying to reach new audiences, new consumers? How are you thinking about the people you're trying to reach? And I guess that does tie in with getting a celebrity like Leighton Meester.Speaker 3 (07:21):Yeah, it's important for us to connect with a broader range of consumers, younger consumers. So we're trying to get millennials and Gen Zs now, which the brand hadn't really targeted before and over a hundred year period you will have a core cohort which will age over time, and we're making a purposeful effort to try and reach a broader audience. Now contemporize the brand and our activities around doing that,Speaker 2 (07:53):Does that also have to do with perhaps the decision to call it premium chocolate versus luxury chocolate or what is that thinking?Speaker 3 (08:02):Well, the category is divine is premium chocolate, but people say good dive is a luxury brand and sometimes people talk about chocolate as being luxury. I don't think chocolate should be luxury. Chocolate should be accessible as well. And so it's really around that. It's not a conscious big effort saying, Hey, call us premium. Don't call us luxury.Speaker 3 (08:23):You can call us what you want, but it's just great tasting chocolate that is accessible. And our key point is luxury is often reserved for special occasions or milestones and that's certainly fine, but could dive a chocolate is also accessible every day. A little bit of happiness and a little smile is an everyday treat that we all have a right to.Speaker 1 (08:50):My wife reminds me of that every day. She says, should we have a chocolate? Now she's a millennium. She'll be very happy if I give her a Godiva chocolate. Well, we have them here for you to try. Okay, well we will just pause the podcast.Speaker 1 (09:07):We right back anyway. So just to talk about PLAs. So good diver is one of the brands within Pladis and which has a big portfolio of snacking. I just want to talk a bit more about the consumer you're trying to reach. What kind of insights have really shaped how you think about this new strategy?Speaker 3 (09:30):Chocolate plays a meaningful role in people's everyday lives. It's not something that's only reserved for special occasions once or twice a year. And so what we see is that people need, if you look at what we call a demand space map of consumers needs and occasions during the day, there are many opportunities in there for us to provide little bits of happiness, little bits of indulgence, a treat for yourself that is accessible and that's important for us. That's an important insight. The second is that chocolate is more than a product, but it may provide an emotional benefit. It might make you feel good, it might help you connect with others. It might be a reboot for the rest of the day, three o'clock, little piece of chocolate it with a coffee or a cup of tea or something like that is fantastic. So we've mapped consumer occasions to see that that's important. So those are really two very important insights for us.Speaker 2 (10:38):Curious, now that the campaign is out, I know it's early days, but are there any KPIs that you're really keeping your eye on or your hopes around brand impact that you're going to get from this campaign?Speaker 3 (10:54):Yes. Well, we have a broad range of metrics that we look at. You can bucket them around awareness and visibility as one. Engagement. How consumers get involved is to sentiment, what are people saying and how do they feel about it. And then importantly, fourth but not least, is the commercial impact. What kind of sales impact do we have? How's it driving the business? And we're one week into the campaign,(11:20):So we don't have any of those metrics now, but we will be tracking them. But what we're very encouraged by is just the initial, let's say feedback, what people are saying, how much people are talking about it and what they're saying about it. And it's very, very positive what we're hearing about this. And even in this first week, we're seeing remarkable engagement. People are even reediting bits of the ad and combining it with Layton Meer in other roles. It's a very scene in one of her previous shows, which she's very famous for where she says, lady Godiva is my only friend. So we're getting recut edits of that with snippets of the new ad. So consumers are sending those back to us.Speaker 2 (12:09):Now. You've talked before about how storytelling is very key to building great brands. Has this campaign changed how you think about what really connects with today's consumers?Speaker 3 (12:22):I think this campaign will confirm what we think is important in storytelling. And for us, storytelling has got to be something that captures people's attention, draws some interest, so they stick with it and is something that they'll remember later on. And we are trying to find new ways to deliver that and create that impact. But within that, we have to embed elements of the brand and the product experience that's so important in that. And this first centerpiece ad is a wonderful example of that because it's a captivating ad, but at the heart it is a product brand centered ad. So I think that's very important is to combine those things.Speaker 1 (13:14):When we look at the sort of bigger shift, and you've sort of addressed this a little bit, but I'm just curious, we are in a moment of time where people are a little bit anxious in some cases about the economy and where things are going. How do you market into that where you're talking about the importance of premium at a time, that might be something where people would think, oh, should I, shouldn't I? How do you think about that?Speaker 3 (13:42):Well, the good thing about chocolate is it is something that's important every day or can be important every day. It should be accessible every day. And whether the economy goes up or it goes down, it's something that's there. And available chocolates, you were talking earlier about luxury. God, IVA is not a Hermes bag. You don't have to wait two months, or sorry, two years to get that. It's something there that you can have. And if it provides that little bit of lift, that smile on your face, that moment of connection, that's something that is important for people regardless of economic conditions. And if they're having some moments in life or particular experiences in life where they need a little pick me up even more than it plays an even bigger role. So it's our job to provide the right offerings, make them accessible and be available for them.Speaker 1 (14:45):Does it signal anything about how you might approach other Plaice brands? I know they're very different, but justSpeaker 3 (14:52):Yeah, we have multiple other brands around the world and some are chocolate, some are biscuits, some are cakes. And each brand has to find a way to tap into consumer desire. And our Pladis mission we say, is happiness in every bite. And that's what we're trying to deliver. And each brand has to try and deliver that in its own unique way.Speaker 2 (15:22):Now with a heritage brand such as Godiva, how are you still keeping it modern while staying true to its heritage? Because the snack worlds today is changing so fast, we have new wellness trends all the time, digital shopping, et cetera, et cetera.Speaker 3 (15:39):Well, it's such an important question because the challenge for every brand is to be relevant today. And what got you there in the heritage is helpful, but it doesn't necessarily deliver against what makes you relevant for today. It just makes people notice or gives you a little bit of credibility or trust. So a big part of this brand, re-imagining it a hundred years is about that. It's about contemporizing the brand, making sure that we stand out in today's world, that we're conveying those benefits that meet the needs of today's consumers, that we are using the right codes to communicate Kate and making it easy for consumers to notice us, to think about us, to remember us to desire us.Speaker 2 (16:33):How do you think about the way modern brands are going about marketing? Are there any interesting tidbits or trends that you're noticing?Speaker 3 (16:43):Lots of littles. There's a study by work that talks about the aggregate, let's say the cumulative effect of little bits of exposure on your brand actually deliver more than singular big pieces of visibility. And if a brand can try and do that show up in different places, just little bites, little bite size bits ofSpeaker 4 (17:10):ContentSpeaker 3 (17:11):That comes across a lot, that is a great way for connecting and getting consumers to remember you.Speaker 1 (17:18):We've got these kind of quick fire questions here at the end. And what's one thing that you're obsessed with figuring out in confectionary marketing right now?Speaker 3 (17:30):I'm obsessed with figuring out how to connect with consumers in a meaningful way. And that is evolving. It's very difficult. Consumers are bombarded with so many stimuli that the ability to connect with them in a relevant way is so important.Speaker 2 (17:49):Outside of snacks, do you have a brand that you really admire for nailing culture and doing just that?Speaker 3 (17:58):Yes, I love what Heinz is doing. They're fantastic. They're a great example of leaning into your heritage, creating distinction versus other brands in a category that seemingly doesn't have a lot of variety. They are very strong at having distinctive brand assets that they tap into all the time. Make it easy for consumers to think about them, remember them, and they're great at tapping into culture. They've got great little mini campaigns under their overall brand platform. It has to be hez that keep the brand very vibrant. I love what they're doing.Speaker 1 (18:42):What's the best piece of marketing advice you've ever received and do you still follow it?Speaker 3 (18:47):Message delivered does not mean message received. And I think that that applies not just to marketing, it applies to change management leadership. And it's something that I think about a lot, especially now. So if you think about it from a marketing perspective, a brand manager's perspective, it's easy to fall in the trap that if you create something and you put it out there that consumers are going to notice it, love it, and buy your brand. And what we try and tell them is, this is not Iowa Field of dreams. It's not a build it and they will come. You have to really work hard at creating relevance and getting noticed and the odds are stacked against you. So making sure your message or your intent is received, not just delivered is very important.Speaker 2 (19:42):Very nice. One more for fun. If money were no object, what's a dream marketing move you'd make?Speaker 3 (19:52):So I can give you the traditional answer on top of those lots of littles. It'd be great to have some big mega programs. I would love to have, we're talking about Godiva today. I'd love to have Godiva in the Super Bowl. I'd love to have Lady Godiva show up and present the trophy, the NFL trophy or the US Open Tennis trophy or I'd love that stuff, but I'll go past that. It would be great to have Lady Godiva as a Marvel superhero movie and have her deliver chocolate to save the world. Something's going on and she just comes and gives a little piece of chocolate and everything's okay. And that's itSpeaker 1 (20:36):For this edition of The Big Impression.Speaker 2 (20:38):This show is produced by Molten Hart. Our theme is by love and caliber, and our associate producer is Sydney Cairns,Speaker 3 (20:45):And remember lots of littles.

Ai sim! A emblemática figura de Hermes Trismegisto habita o imaginário da maioria dos ocultistas e pode ser vista como um primeiro iniciador na senda de magia e ocultismo. Não como um sacerdote de fato, mas como uma primeira referência, uma figura que nos faz questionar o que é mito, o que é história, o que é humano e o que é divino, e o quanto esse título significa e dignifica o ser. No episódio de hoje exploraremos a parte realmente histórica dessa figura. Suas raizes greco-egípcias, os corpus literários que o retrataram, bem como suas motivações políticas e religiosas. Sob um viés inteiramente acadêmico, nosso convidado nos conduzirá por paragens que pululam o imaginário de muitos de nós, afeitos ao Egito Antigo, mas que não são tão bem definidas como poderiam ser. Sua pesquisa de Mestrado, recém publicada, será a base para essa entrevista e nos iluminará acerca desse tema tão rico e instigante! --- Responda nosso Fomulário TOP OF MIND DM 2025: https://forms.gle/FXgnGyKYCFh2HYKk9 --- Próximas Lives (Páginas Abertas): Páginas Abertas #49 – 21/11 às 20:00 [Páginas Rasuradas 5: Grande Prêmio Diário Mágicko!] --- Envie seu relato!

The News RundownSteve leads off with the latest tariff turmoil, as trade negotiations between the U.S. and Canada stall amid the Trump administration's response to an ad created and paid for by the Ontario government running in U.S. media whose key auto  sector is endangered by Trump trade policies. They also explore luxury corporate earnings, where Hermès continues to shine, while.  Gucci owner Kering struggles to regain footing. Meanwhile, Mattel falls short as retailers tighten orders ahead of the holidays.The discussion then turns to job cuts at Target, Amazon, GM, and Nestlé, revealing how automation, AI, and tariff pressures are reshaping corporate structures, before turning to  Amazon's plan to replace up to 600,000 roles with robotics. They also cover ChatGPT's meteoric rise to No. 2 in product search, challenging Google and signaling a shift in how consumers discover products.Throughout, they underscore the precariousness of retail confidence heading into the holiday season — from Tractor Supply's cautious guidance to Deckers' HOKA sales slowdown.Blank Canvas Strategy: Finding Retail's 'New Earth'In the second half, Steve introduces "Blank Canvas Strategy"— a methodology for retailers to reimagine their businesses from the ground up, free from legacy constraints. Unlike Blue Ocean Strategy, which focuses on discovering compltey untapped markets, this framework helps brands reinvent their core business models before disruption makes them irrelevant.Steve urges leaders to recognize when their "planet" (current business model and market domain) becomes uninhabitable, and to begin building "Earth Two" — an alternative growth destination. Together, the hosts examine why incremental change doomed once-iconic retailers like Blockbuster, Sears, and Pier 1, and how others like Dick's Sporting Goods and RH (Restoration Hardware) succeeded by boldly innovating their business designs.They close by discussing how executives can carve out time, treasure, and talent for R&D, overcome the fear of cannibalization, and lead with the courage to disrupt themselves before competitors do.After the focused content discussion it's on to the most remarkable stories of the week, including Walmart's massive commitment to deploying 90 million supply-chain sensors to track pallets and fresh-food products.The episode wraps with what needs to be on everyone's radar screens. One recommendation: keep your eyes on "GU" the first U.S. store fromUniqlo's parent company, Fast Retailing. Located in New York's Soho neighborhood, Gu is a bright, energetic space with "eye-poppingly good prices" and strong shopper buzz.

Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! On this week's episode we continue our in-depth analysis of Liber ARARITA by Aleister Crowley. In this portion we compare the lines of Chapter 1, the good side of the Tree of Life with Chapter 2, the evil or Qlippothic Tree of Death. By exploring the overlapping and averse relationship between each verse we catch a glimpse of how each sephira on the Tree of Life really works when its energies are active in our life. In the free show, we make it halfway down the Tree and conclude our in-depth analysis in the second half. Along the way Mari gets incredibly personal with her experiences working with Lilith (the demon at the bottom of the Tree of Life) and finally reveals some of the more obscure lines of the text in their deeper meaning.

Randstad maakt er bijna een sport van om met slechte kwartalen te komen. Het heeft inmiddels een elftal aan kwartalen van dalende omzet te pakken. Al bestempelt Jeroen Tiel (topman van Randstad Nederland) de situatie als stabiel.Stabiel was niet het aandeel vandaag. Beleggers maken zich zorgen. Deze aflevering kijken we hoe dit typisch cyclische bedrijf weer kan scoren.Hebben we het ook over andere Nederlandse beursbedrijven. Heineken en AkzoNobel. Beide verkopen minder, maar in het geval van Heineken wordt die misser wél vergeven.Bij Netflix zijn beleggers genadeloos. Na twee goede kwartalen, overtreffen ze een keer niet de verwachtingen. Iets dat het bedrijf heel duur komt te staan. Het aandeel wordt keihard afgestraft. Maar of dat wel zo terecht is? We zoeken het voor je uit.Hebben we het ook over de kwartaalcijfers van Hermès (dat de concurrentie uitlacht), over een aandeel dat meer dan 1000 procent is gestegen en je hoort over het Taylor Swift-effect op de Amerikaanse beurs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

UU. “Estamos en un momento de preocupación. Si la FED detecta debilidad en la creación de empleo, no descarto que implemente un programa de inyección de liquidez para contener riesgos”, ha explicado. En el sector del lujo, Méndez ha destacado a Hermes, que aunque presenta una ligera ralentización en sus ventas, mantiene un perfil sólido. “En Asia mejora un 1,7%. Además a nivel global ha pasado de vender 11 millones a 51 millones en tiendas. Sus márgenes son excelentes y sigue siendo el caballo ganador del sector”, ha señalado. Respecto al oro, ha comentado que tras una corrección significativa, vuelve a repuntar. “Creo que todavía puede tener un tramo adicional al alza antes de estabilizarse. Para consolidar un nuevo impulso, debería perder niveles de 4.000. Hay demasiada efervescencia ahora mismo”, ha explicado. También ha destacado la fortaleza del sector defensa, que seguirá siendo relevante. “Aunque el conflicto en Ucrania termine, la UE se prepara para posibles tensiones con Rusia. La compra de armamento continuará, y las empresas del sector seguirán aumentando producción y ventas”, ha indicado. Sobre Acerinox, Méndez se ha mostrado optimista. “No hay señales de deterioro, y el sector de materiales básicos mantiene una estructura sólida. Es un valor que mantendría con tranquilidad, aprovechando su estabilidad técnica y fundamental”, ha afirmado. Por último, ha compartido su visión sobre el IBEX 35, mostrando confianza a medio y largo plazo. “Creo que el índice puede alcanzar los 16.000 o 16.100 puntos. La estrategia adecuada es pensar en el largo plazo y no dejarse llevar por la volatilidad del corto”, ha concluido.

Senior politicians have added to the mounting scrutiny of Prince Andrew, as the discussion around his connection to the late sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein, has thrown the spotlight on his living arrangements. Also: A third abuse survivor resigns from the Government's grooming gang inquiry, because of concerns about its direction. And the British designer, Grace Wales Bonner, becomes the first black woman to lead design at a major fashion house, after signing as creative director of menswear at Hermes.

This week's episode dives into all the major announcements from React Conf 2025—from the upcoming changes to React Native DevTools and React Foundation, to long-awaited features like CSS support and Hermes V1. Plus, I share updates on my latest projects, including the release of my Pocket Clone and progress on the Wolt Clone.⚛️ React Native Radar:

The Hermes Experiment - an ever-innovative, exploratory and imaginative ensemble - have released their new album, Tree, a meditation on nature, memory and change embracing contemporary composers and reimagined music from the past. Two members of the group, soprano Héloïse Werner and clarinetist Oliver Pashley - who also both have compositions on the album - joined Editor Martin Cullingford in the Gramophone Podcast studio to discuss this beautiful release.

Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week's show we explore the first thirteen lines from Liber ARARITA and explore each one's corresponding sephirah on the Tree of Life, discussing its corresponding planetary god from the Greek and Roman tradition along with a profile of the angelic archangel who rules over each station. This chapter corresponds to the “Good” side of the Tree of Life and explains it in fairly classical, straight-forward terms. On the free side of the show we make it all the way from Kether to Gevurah but discover that we've run out of time and resume our discussion of Tiphareth through Malkuth during the paid section of the show which includes a rousing discussion about Jacob and his battle with the angel we suspect to be Kamael. Tune in next week to hear about how the Tree of Life from this week matches up with the Tree of Death and its corresponding orders of demons.

Wij moesten zelf lachen om de titel, maar als je aandelen Novo Nordisk hebt (of Eli Lilly) dan lach je niet. President Trump vindt namelijk dat de prijzen van afslankmedicatie te hoog is en eist een gigantische prijsverlaging. Waardoor nu vooral de prijs van een aandeel daalt.Deze aflevering hebben we het over de actie van Trump. Wat betekent dit voor de marges van die bedrijven? En is er nog een sector waar Trump zich niet mee bemoeit?Ook gaat het over Nexperia. De week begon met de chipmaker en eindigde er mee. De Nederlandse overheid stelde het bedrijf onder curatele, waarop de Chinese regering een exportverbod instelde. Een beslissing die inmiddels zo'n beetje alle autobouwers op de wereld raken. Hebben we het ook over: De kwartaalcijfers van Basic-Fit. Dat groeit zelf niet, maar het trekt wel meer klanten aan De Europese beurs. De Duitse bondskanselier wil één grote aandelenbeurs De Amerikaanse shutdown, die inmiddels een echte shitdown is Jamie Dimon die naar Europese banken kijkt. Of toch niet?

Dan Waites displays an impressive depth and insightfulness in the videos on his You Tube channel World Astrology Report, but he actually didn't start working as a mundane astrologer until 2020 (mundane refers to the use of astrology to understand world events and phases).Dan had studied the subject matter and been mesmerized before that, but when the pandemic happened, it was a watershed moment for him. He realized with stark clarity that several astrologers had predicted the event – not in detail, but that there would be a global event that would shake society.“Then I knew I had to take this seriously. I have to learn this, understand this and devote myself to it”, says Dan.So, how does astrology work, really? Does it even have to do with the stars?“Skeptics often say things like ‘there is no plausible explanation for how astrology works, and therefore it does not work, therefore it's a figment of your imagination'”.“But astrology is essentially a science of consciousness. It's an interpretation of meaning. And we don't know how consciousness works! It's a bit ludicrous to expect there's going to be a simple answer to the question of how astrology works”, says Dan.There are some very interesting astrological cycles that reveal things about the times we are living in. The Jupiter-Saturn cycle, for instance. The two planetary giants meet every 20 years, and during a period of roughly 200 years, they meet in the same astrological element (earth, air, water, fire). ‘Earthiness' characterized the 19th and 20th centuries, but ‘airiness' will characterize the period we recently entered.The difference can be seen in the media, according to Waites. In the 200 years of earth, the media was centralized, and there was a sharing of assumptions, even if people didn't agree politically. Now, in the air era, we have adopted a new communication technology, the internet, which is decentralized, leading to a fragmentation of assumptions and narratives.In one of his essays on Substack, Dan Waites claims that we are in ‘The Hermetic Age'. This has to do with the extremely long Pluto-Neptune cycle. From the late 14th century, these two outer planets (in astrology, Pluto hasn't lost its planetary status) started to meet in Gemini, the sign of Hermes. They will continue to do so for another 1,800 years or so.As long as the conjunctions took place in the preceding earth sign of Taurus, society was feudal, based on landownership. Then came the printing press, the protestant Reformation and the Copernican revolution. The era of capitalism was ushered in, and power moved away from landowners to bankers.Right now, multiple cycles are suggesting that pivotal events and discoveries are under way in the fields of the UAP phenomenon and of humanity's deep history. Which is exactly what we are seeing.“An awakening to the truth about ancient history began in the 19th century, such as the interest in Atlantis. It is coming back now”, says Dan.The turbulence on the world scene also has astrological fingerprints. Pluto is currently out of bounds (it exceeds the normal range of declination from the Sun's path) to the south. This coincides with it being in the sign of Aquarius. Both phenomena signify a revolutionary energy.“The last time this happened, we had the French and the American revolutions, and before that we had the protestant Reformation”, explains Dan.Pluto will express this energy until 2035.__________✅ ResourcesDan's World Astrology ReportWebsiteSubstackYou Tube

Mary welcomes Alexis Hermes to the podcast to talk about her book, "You Can, Through Christ". In this installment of SUFTT we look at discipleship, what it is and what it isn't. Primarily, it needs to be based on truth, and it needs to be relational, and reproduce itself. In these days of online church, and devices that prevent us from truly engaging with those around us, what does that look like? Or rather, what should it look like? Jesus said to go and make disciples of all nations. That is truly a tall order, implying the gospel plus living it out, and how best to do that. It's not just for pastors or theologians, it is for all of us. But first, internal transformation is required, so that we are equipped to point people to the truth, sound doctrine, and how the body works together. We talk about several chapter themes in her book, and how each one presents a challenge to godly living. A full hour of conversation on how to pass the faith along. Can we say as Paul said, "Imitate me"?   Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A
