Welcome to the first-ever episode of Blackthorn After Dark—our late-night corner of the podcast where the wine is flowing, the lights are low, and the stories are anything but ordinary.So this is going to be a bit different than our normal content, let us know what you think of it. This isn't a wine lesson. It's what happens when the day's work is done, the bottle's open, and you're just sitting around with friends, trading the kind of tales you can't help but be obsessed with. Sometimes weird, sometimes witchy, sometimes just wonderfully random.We did record this before we officially knew what After Dark would become, we originally intended this to be a separate video offering on Youtube, but we've tweaked some of our plans as we have been slowly launching Blackthorn and we thought this might be something great for the podcast as well. And that means that there is also a video component to this episode and will be for future episodes as well as our main episodes of the month. So if that's of interest to you, you can check those out on Youtube.com/@joinblackthorn. It's a space for stories, mood, and connection. A place to slip into the vibe of Blackthorn, like you've just walked into the back room of a secret wine club, and someone says: “You have to hear this.”So pour a glass, settle in, and enjoy the first taste of Blackthorn After Dark.Support the showCONNECT WITH US: You can follow and message us on Instagram @joinblackthorn You can also reach out via email - gather@joinblackthorn.com If you want to help support the show and get extra content every week, sign up for the paid tier of our Patreon newsletter, The Vault.

Allegra Goodman tells the surprising origin story of Isola—from a children's book discovery to immersive museum research—all written in complete secrecy.In today's Book Gang episode, celebrated author Allegra Goodman joins me to discuss her stunning survival novel Isola, the incredible true story that inspired it, and the highly unusual creative process behind her most critically acclaimed book yet.Allegra kept Isola a secret—entirely—from her agent, her family, and even close friends while she wrote it. She reveals why this story demanded privacy and how keeping it under wraps gave her a rare creative clarity. She also shares what it meant to research this historical setting in museums and archives and how a serendipitous find in a children's book 22 years ago sparked the idea that would grow into Isola.In this inspiring conversation, Allegra and I discuss:Why she kept Isola a secret from everyone—even her agent and family—throughout the writing process. We explore what drove this decision, how it freed her creatively, and what it felt like to reveal the project once it was complete.The immersive research behind the novel, including museum visits and the spark of inspiration that came from a children's book during a late-night feeding session. Allegra traces the story's origin back 22 years, when she stumbled on a brief mention of a marooned noblewoman that she couldn't shake.What it's really like to be selected for both Reese's Book Club and Read With Jenna.

We know how frustrating it is to put so much work into your manuscript, finally hit that submit button, and then receive a quick rejection. In this episode, JGME Executive Editor, Dr. Nicole Deiorio, speaks with Dr. Gail Sullivan and Emily Barnash about how to avoid the dreaded desk reject and ensure your manuscript reaches the peer review stage.

Reading Prester John: Cultural Fantasy and its Manuscript Contexts by John Eldevik During the Middle Ages, many Europeans imagined that there existed a powerful and marvel-filled Christian realm beyond the lands of Islam ruled by a devout emperor they called “Priest John,” or “Prester John.” Spurred by a forged letter that mysteriously appeared around 1165 and quickly “went viral” in hundreds of manuscripts across Western Europe, the legend of Prester John and his exotic kingdom was not just a utopian fantasy, but a way to bring contemporary political and theological questions into sharper focus. In this new study, John Eldevik shows how the manuscripts that transmitted the story of Prester John reflect the ways contemporary audiences processed ideas about religious conflict and helped them imagine a new, global dimension of Christianity. It includes an appendix with a new translation of the B recension of The Letter of Prester John. John Eldevik is Professor of History at Hamilton College in Clinton (New York State), and has previously published on medieval social and religious history. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature.   YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/a48266/videos Learn more about your ad choices.

Doctor Anderson drew from many sources to enable him to revise the older Gothic Masonic Constitutions. He never names them, so we don't know how many of these older documents he had available. Did Anderson use the Cook Manuscript of 1450? Let's see what Google search says about this:"Doctor Anderson Cooke Manuscript UseThere is no direct evidence that Doctor Anderson used the Cooke Manuscript of 1450. However, the Cooke Manuscript was used by Anderson in his own version of the "Constitutions" published in 1723, specifically lines 901-960 of the manuscript.5The Cooke Manuscript, also known as the Matthew Cooke Manuscript (British Museum: “Additional M.S. 23,198”), was written around 1450 and was in the possession of Mr. George Payne when he compiled the "General Regulations" during his second term as Grand Master in 1720.5 Anderson included these regulations in his version of the "Constitutions" published in 1723.5Therefore, while Doctor Anderson did not directly use the Cooke Manuscript, he incorporated parts of it into his work."What will we learn?Why was this manuscript dated to about 1450?Where did they write this document?Will it have the Legend of the Craft?Why does the Curmudgeon Supreme keep breathing so heavily into the mic, and why does he not mute it?We will get into all of these questions and more.Write to me at Masonicmuscle357@gmail.comFollow me on Instagram @masonicmuscle

The Rebbe regrets the maamarim were sent to Eretz Yisrael instead of to him and suggests finding someone knowledgeable locally. He notes Chassidim value all maamarim equally, regardless of author or print status, though he personally questions this approach. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/015/009/5488

What happens when a physician becomes the keeper of history? In this episode, we dive into the powerful intersection of family legacy and historical preservation with Dr. Rob Wolf. While maintaining his medical career, Dr. Wolf embraced an equally vital role—transforming his father's autobiography into the critically acclaimed book "Not a Real Enemy." This cloak-and-dagger adventure follows his father Ervin's journey through antisemitism, danger, and ultimately hope, during the Holocaust and the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. While Rob grew up aware of his father's story, it wasn't until after his mother's passing that he fully committed to sharing this "fantastic and inspiring story" with the world. Join us as we explore how preserving one man's fight for freedom creates an enduring testimonial to human resilience, family love, and facing adversity with dignity.   Episode Highlights: 00:27 Meet Dr. Rob Wolf: A Dual Legacy 01:02 A Journey Through History: Ervin's Story 04:02 Transforming a Manuscript into a Biography 05:44 The Significance of “Not A Real Enemy” 08:51 The Hungarian Revolution of 1956 13:45 Immigration Challenges and New Beginnings 19:04 The Spirit of Resilience 20:52 Lessons from the Holocaust 23:09 Embracing Change and Personal Growth 31:43 How to Connect with Dr. Rob Wolf Show Links:  https://robertjwolfmd.com/ Not a Real Enemy: The True Story of a Hungarian Jewish Man's Fight for Freedom Dr. Wolf's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robert-j-wolf-md/

Duluth is known for its exciting restaurants, breweries and attractions and one of the very best is still considered a hidden gem: the Karpeles Manuscript Library Museum, one in a family of seven that collectively hosts more than a million historical documents, making it one of the largest private collections of historic manuscripts in the entire world. Located in the former First Church Of Christ Scientist building, the museum hosts more than 26 important documents at any given moment, along with art, photography and other items related to literature, science, religion and political history. You can even take a walk down memory lane with yearbooks from local high schools and maps dating back to the 1800s. You'll never get bored: exhibits rotate between museums four times a year. With free entry and a location as historic as the documents inside of it, the Karpeles Manuscript Library Museum really is Duluth's best kept secret - until now. Matthew Sjelin, Director of the Karpeles Manuscript Library Museum, is spilling all on one of Duluth's most undiscovered treasures.

For today's show: the news; remains of Olomouc's Přemyslid rulers identified and laid to rest; researchers examine stains in medieval medical manuscripts to uncover ancient remedies; the Czech Anne Frank: Diary of Věrka Kohnová. 

In this powerful and deeply personal episode, host Ian Henzel sits down with acclaimed author Richard Compson Sater to explore his life, military service, and the evolution of his writing career. Best known for his novels “Thirst” and “Rank,” Sater opens up about growing up gay in the 1970s, navigating the complexities of identity while serving in the U.S. Air Force, and how these experiences continue to shape his literary voice. From the timeless influence of William Faulkner to the creative intersection of visual and written storytelling, this conversation offers a rich look into the mind of a writer whose work bridges personal truth and artistic expression. Whether you're a fan of LGBTQ literature, a fellow writer, or someone who appreciates honest storytelling, this episode offers valuable insights into the transformative power of books—and the lives they reflect.

This week on The Creep Dive, Jen takes us deep into the intoxicating mystery of the Voynich Manuscript. Is it a 600-year-old coded guide to female health? A Renaissance troll's masterpiece? Or the deranged scribblings of a time traveller off their tits on medieval mushrooms? With baffling botany, star signs that don't match our skies, and naked women passing herbs in goo pools—this manuscript has the CIA, codebreakers and creeps everywhere stumped. Also: monkey abductions, meth raccoons, and an empanada-fuelled gang massacre.Get this episode sans ads plus hundreds of exclusive episodes every Thursday over on patreon.com/thecreepdive. It's creepier, cleaner, and definitely more unhinged in there. Come join us. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week we discuss the Voynich Manuscript, an ancient text full of intricate drawings written in an unknown language. While the text can be dated back to the early 1500s, the author and his or her intentions have been lost to time. Initially believed to be a text written by one of history's great philosophers, the contents of the book prove more puzzling than insightful. Tune in this week to hear about one of the true mysteries of the last 500 years!  

For I want you to know how great a struggle I have for you and for those at Laodicea and for all who have not seen me face to face, 2 that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, to reach all the riches of full assurance of understanding and the knowledge of God's mystery, which is Christ, 3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. 4 I say this in order that no one may delude you with plausible arguments.Colossians 2:1-4Blind Faith - “I only believe in what can be proved through evidence.”“[Faith is] believing what you know ain't so.”Mark TwainFaith is not OptionalTo move from religion to secularism is not so much a loss of faith as a shift into a new set of beliefs and into a new community of faith, one that draws lines between orthodoxy and heresy in different places.Timothy KellerScience by its very nature is not fit to investigate whether there is more to reality than the natural world.C. Stephen EvansReason depends on the faith that our cognitive senses—eyes and ears, our minds and memories—are not tricking us. Yet there is no noncircular way to establish that. We cannot test their reliability without using and therefore assuming their reliability. To explain what Wittgenstien means, consider the movie The Matrix. Can you prove that you aren't actually in a vat somewhere with plugs coming out of the back of your head feeding you an alternate reality? We cannot, then, prove these fundamental premises for the operation of reasoning. We take them on faith…To state that there is no God or that there is a God, then, necessarily entails faith. And so the declaration that science is the only arbiter of truth is not itself a scientific finding. It is a belief.Timothy KellerFaith is not opposed to ThinkingChristianity birthed universities, preserved classical learning, and encouraged scientific inquiryNow faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. 2 For by it the people of old received their commendation. 3 By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.Hebrews 11:1-3To the writer to the Hebrews faith is a hope that is absolutely certain that what it believes is true, and that what it expects will come. It is not the hope which looks forward with wistful longing; it is the hope which looks forward with utter certainty. It is not the hope which takes refuge in a perhaps; it is the hope which is founded on a conviction.Barclay17 By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was in the act of offering up his only son, 18 of whom it was said, “Through Isaac shall your offspring be named.” 19 He considered that God was able even to raise him from the dead, from which, figuratively speaking, he did receive him back.Hebrews 11:17-19Logizomai [considered]: to reckon, count, compute, calculate, count over. (Where the word “LOGIC” comes from.)Faith is not opposed to EvidenceAnd the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and to test him they asked him to show them a sign from heaven. 2 He answered them,[a] “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.' 3 And in the morning, ‘It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.' You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. 4 An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.” So he left them and departed.Matthew 16:1-4The evidence is there, examinable and understandable for those who are open to it and who welcome it. The issue in the knowledge of God is not intellect but receptivity.HagnerMiracles will give confirmation where there is faith, but not where there is willful unbelief.Wiersbe1. Historical Evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus2. Manuscript and Textual Reliability of the Bible3. Fulfilled Prophecy4. Philosophical and Moral Arguments for God's Existence5. Experiential and Transformational EvidenceFaith is not opposed to MysteryFor I want you to know how great a struggle I have for you and for those at Laodicea and for all who have not seen me face to face, 2 that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, to reach all the riches of full assurance of understanding and the knowledge of God's mystery, which is Christ, 3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. 4 I say this in order that no one may delude you with plausible arguments.Colossians 2:1-4Faith does not contradict reason, though it may go beyond reason. One may objectively prove the Bible is the most unique book ever published and has impacted society more than any other book. But only faith can prove that the Bible is the Word of God. Therefore, this is a belief beyond reason but not in contradiction to reason or against reason.David GuzikDoubt your doubtsConsider the object of your faithEven in times when it seems God expects a faith that contradicts reason, closer examination reveals He does not. For example, it might seem contrary to reason for God to expect Abraham to believe that Sarah's dead womb could bring forth a child. But it is not unreasonable to believe that the God who created life and the womb could do this, and that He would do it according to His promise.David GuzikFuel your faith with God's Word14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard?[c] And how are they to hear without someone preaching? 15 And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” 16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?” 17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.Romans 10:14-176 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and th...

"It's one of the things that people in both films and books woefully underestimate—the amount of time and effort. We can write a screenplay that's fantastic, we can write a book that's amazing, but that's just a third of it. Getting it out there to the world is a whole different thing." – Autumn KarenToday's featured author is a mom, ghostwriter, poet, professor, filmmaker, award-winning journalist, "Writer of Vibes", and the founder of Medusa's Gaze Films, Autumn Karen.

Medieval art memes! Human-faced animals! Drunk monks! And a preponderance of snails. Middle Ages manuscript expert, art history communicator, and Medieval Codicologist Evan Pridmore covers: what those golden illuminated Middle Ages manuscripts were made of, who drew them, why were people sometimes naked in them, what art trends came and went – and what does it say about our history and future, immigration politics, antisemitism, what exactly is a Salisbury steak, and so much more.

Episode 314 - The Book No One Can Read: The Voynich Manuscript Mystery A 600-year-old book written in an unknown language, bizarre botanical illustrations that don't exist on Earth, and a possible wizard on the run—this episode dives into the biggest literary mystery of all time. This is the unreadable book, the Voynich Manuscript. We explore its enigmatic origins, the life of rare book collector Wilfred Voynich, and the theories surrounding its possible author, Roger Bacon—a medieval friar with a suspiciously wizard-like reputation. But this isn't just a history lesson—things get personal. Has Corinne been hexed? Could crystals be the answer? And how exactly does the Squonk, the world's saddest cryptid, fit into all of this? From CIA codebreakers and AI decryption attempts to extraterrestrial connections and secret societies, we explore the theories, hoaxes, and paranormal possibilities. Is this a centuries old prank? A journal dropped by an alien (obviously it's this one)? Tune in to find out what is going on with the Voynich Manuscript.  Watch the Video Version Here  Have ghost stories of your own? E-mail them to us at twogirlsoneghostpodcast@gmail.com    New Episodes are released every Sunday at 12am PST/3am EST (the witching hour, of course).

In 1909, the discovery of a young woman, pale and emaciated, lying lifeless in a bathtub marked the start of an investigation into what seemed like a tragic story with a bleak ending. Just beneath the surface, however, lurked something far darker. As investigators pulled back the curtain, they uncovered a twisted tale of manipulation, greed, and murder. At its heart, the eerie, calculating Wardlaw sisters - A trio of eccentric aunts who wore nothing but black.

Welcome to Classic Skeptic Metaphysicians! We're re-releasing some of our back catalog so that these gems can be re-discovered!This week: Theres an Ancient Manuscript about YOU in a Library in India_ Indian Palm Leaf Reading3,000 years ago, enlightened sages gained the power of clairvoyance. These Maharishis used their divine powers to look into the future and predict the lives of millions of people. Their insights were put down on dried Palm Leaves. Your Palm Leaf was written specifically for you to answer your most important questions about your life: Karma, Obstacles, Children, Destiny, Partnership, Career and Health. On this episode, our guest shares the secrets behind this jaw-dropping, little-known modality that you just HAVE to know about! When Dr. Q Moayad, a white Austrian, discovers Indian palm leaf reading, otherwise known as Nadi Astrology, as a way to heal himself, he embarks on a transformative journey to uncover ancient secrets and bring the powerful modality to the West, only to discover the challenging truth of its complicated journey.Dr. Q Moayad was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 19, an experience that propelled him on a spiritual journey to understand the unknown. After struggling with his health for years, he encountered Indian Palm Leaf Reading and was deeply intrigued. Despite the complexity of the system and difficulty of finding an authentic reader, he eventually created an institute to bring the practice to the West. He now works to not only help people through readings, but also to support an orphanage in Southern India.Guest Info: (Note: this is a re-broadcast and the links may no longer be active)Website: https://indianpalmleafreading.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/indianpalmleafreadingFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/IndianPalmLeafReadingYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/IndianPalmLeafReadingInstituteConnect With the Skeptic Metaphysicians:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skepticmetaphysician_podcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/SkepticMetaphysicianYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SkepticMetaphysiciansTwitter: https://twitter.com/WillRodriguezFlWebsite: https://www.skepticmetaphysician.com
