Podcasts about Medusa

A "blood moon" lunar eclipse is happening March 3rd at almost 13° Virgo. This eclipse is comparatively quiet astrologically, making it easier to focus on Virgo themes of order, service, health, and returning to a natural rhythm. This eclipse "rules" for six months and may fully ripen during Virgo season. Protection is a central theme, connected to blood as naturally protective and to the eclipse as a safe container for ritual and self-exploration, especially around vulnerable "maiden" aspects of self. For goddess work, we recommend Medusa as a powerful protector and healer deeply linked to blood magic. Medusa's mythic blood created coral and red serpents. Explore historical protective folk magic in 16th-century English spell jars using one's own urine, blood, and hair with herbs as well as Melinoë a lesser-known goddess, presented in the Orphic Hymn 71. She is the daughter of Persephone, and Melinoë is a dark and luminous Goddess, the "Queen of Nightmares" and "Master of Ghosts," ruling liminal space between life and death and invoked for protection, trauma processing, and relief from fear and night terrors. She parallels this eclipse "portal" energy. Enjoy this potent time of a lunar eclipse and blood magic!

The Blooming Court Ch. 1The aftermath of the fight sees Zechs, Turk, and Shanks being brought back up. Turk's magic seems to have left him, as a plume of black smoke leaves him, and Zechs has a white handprint that has appeared on his own hand where Tumra touched him. Turk appears visibly angry with his former patron, and Galahad tries to assess the group. Shanks is brought back from the brink of death, and he awakes, feigning memory loss, to cut the visible tension. Zechs heals Arguile and directs Arguile towards his brother and mother. The family reunites and comforts each other through their grief, then reconvenes with the party before heading back into the city. The party looks over the area to see if there's anything worth grabbing before heading out and finds several things, including armor that they're unsure is cursed, so Turk holds off on putting it on until they can find something better suited for him. The party decides to head to their lodgings rather than Dorna's home, at least until they can be sure it's safe for them to return. As they return, per their usual routine, the drinks begin to pour, and some seem a bit more tense after the fight than others. After checking in on one another and trying to plan their next moves, the group decides to go out on the town to get some tattoos. Shanks, Turk, Glad, Galahad, Arguile, and even Dorna all join in getting tattoos and blowing off some steam. Later that night, Shanks, Turk, and Zechs all divulge what happened to them while they were out of commission, and they all had wild experiences with gods and patrons, which they are shocked by; this is fairly normal for them. There's a bit of inventory sorting and such before heading out to negotiate for Galahad's belt. With some trades, gold, and bartering, he's able to acquire the Belt of Fire Giant Strength. There are plans to pick up their special gear, Glad's boon via airship, and a trip to the Ren Faire for some much-needed revelry after a long few weeks. There's so much happening, and that's where we pick up…Find out what happens next in this episode of the Medusa's Cascade: Collateral Damage!

Greek mythology has a way of cycling back. Every generation seems to take a turn with these stories, reshaping them to fit the tools and tastes of the moment. With a new version of The Odyssey directed by Christopher Nolan on the horizon, it feels like a good time to revisit a few earlier attempts. Not the definitive versions. Just four films that each capture a different moment in how the myths were staged.Jason and the ArgonautsDirected by Don Chaffey and brought to life by the stop motion work of Ray Harryhausen, this remains the standard for mythological adventure on film.The skeleton fight is still the showcase. Harryhausen animated seven sword fighting skeletons by hand, frame by frame, matching choreography that had already been filmed with live actors. It took months to complete just a few minutes of screen time. The patience shows. The movement has weight and timing that still feels precise.There is also Talos, the bronze giant, who creaks to life in a way that feels mechanical and ancient at the same time. No digital polish. Just careful craft. The film was not a major hit in 1963, but it built its reputation through television airings and revival screenings. Filmmakers like Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson have pointed to it as an influence.Clash of the TitansNearly twenty years later, Harryhausen returned for what would be his final feature. Released in 1981, the same summer as Raiders of the Lost Ark, it feels like a bridge between eras.Medusa is the standout. Instead of legs she has a serpentine body, and the sequence plays almost like a horror film, full of shadow and flickering light. Harryhausen again handled the creature effects himself, at a time when optical and early digital techniques were starting to change the industry.The cast gives the film a formal tone. Laurence Olivier plays Zeus and Maggie Smith appears as Thetis. There is also Bubo, the small mechanical owl added after the success of Star Wars. Even at the time some viewers were unsure about that addition. It says a lot about where fantasy films were headed in the early 1980s.HerculesDirected by Luigi Cozzi and starring Lou Ferrigno, this version of Hercules leans into spectacle in a way that is sometimes baffling and sometimes charming.Ferrigno had already been known for playing the Hulk on television, so casting him as Hercules made sense on a physical level. The film itself mixes Greek myth with science fiction imagery, including cosmic visuals and creatures that feel closer to Italian fantasy cinema than to Homer.It was part of a cycle of sword and sandal films in the early 1980s, many of them international co productions designed for global markets. The effects are uneven, but there is sincerity here. It commits to its vision without irony.The OdysseyDirected by Andrei Konchalovsky and starring Armand Assante, this two part television adaptation aired in 1997 as an event production.The format allows it to cover more of the journey than most feature films attempt. The Cyclops sequence and the Sirens episode stand out, helped by visual effects that were ambitious for network television at the time. The production won an Emmy for visual effects and reflects a brief period when large scale myth adaptations were being mounted for prime time audiences.Watching it now, you can see both its limits and its effort. It wants to treat the source material seriously, without reducing it to spectacle alone.Taken together, these films show how the same source material can shift with the era. Stop motion craft in the 1960s. Transitional fantasy in the early 1980s. International genre filmmaking. Large scale television in the 1990s.When Nolan releases his Odyssey, it will enter a long line of attempts to translate these myths into something contemporary. Revisiting these earlier versions is a way to see how each generation solved the same problem with different tools.They are worth tracking down. Not because they are perfect, but because each one reflects a moment when someone decided these ancient stories were still worth staging carefully.Thanks for reading Video Store Podcast!

Le point sur la découverte du plus long serpent sauvage du monde. An update on the discovery of the world's longest wild snake.Il s'agit d'un python réticulé femelle qui vient de battre un record incroyable en Indonésie, celui du plus long serpent jamais mesuré dans la nature. It is a female reticulated python that has just broken an incredible record in Indonesia, that of the longest snake ever measured in the wild.Et vous allez voir cette découverte dépasse de loin les simples chiffres. And as you will see, this discovery goes far beyond mere numbers.Ce serpent c'est une femelle, baptisée Ibu Barone, trouvée sur l'île de Sulawesi. This snake is a female, named Ibu Barone, found on the island of Sulawesi.Sa taille, et bien le Guinness World Records vient de l'officialiser. Her size, well, the Guinness World Records has just made it official.7 mètres 22 pour 96 kilos, c'est juste énorme. 7.22 meters for 96 kilos, it's just enormous.Et le plus fou, c'est que la mesure a été faite sans anesthésie pour ne pas mettre l'animal en danger. And the craziest part is that the measurement was taken without anesthesia so as not to put the animal in danger.Attention on parle d'un spécimen sauvage, le record précédent il datait quand même de 1999. Keep in mind we're talking about a wild specimen; the previous record actually dated back to 1999.Pour vous donner une idée, le record absolu c'est Medusa, un python en captivité aux États-Unis, mais dans la nature, la nouvelle reine c'est Ibu Barone. To give you an idea, the absolute record is Medusa, a python in captivity in the United States, but in the wild, the new queen is Ibu Barone.Enfin et c'est peut-être le plus important, l'enjeu de la conservation. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, the issue of conservation.Là-bas, les grands pythons comme elle sont souvent tués. Over there, large pythons like her are often killed.Pourquoi ? Parce qu'ils s'approchent des habitations, menaçant le bétail, et ce conflit s'aggrave avec la réduction de leur habitat. Why? Because they approach homes, threatening livestock, and this conflict is worsening with the reduction of their habitat.Ce record met donc un coup de projecteur sur un vrai défi : comment mieux protéger ces géants ? This record thus puts the spotlight on a real challenge: how to better protect these giants? Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Family Matters Ch. 18Locking eyes with Shanks, the necromancer speaks a single word and casts Power Word Kill. Shanks falls dead, and the battlefield goes silent. But only for a moment, and as the battle rages on to its imminent conclusion, Shanks finds himself in the Veil. He is met there by his ancestral God, The Hunter. The two converse on his journey through life and his progress toward balance. Their conversation ended with the awakening of Mind's Eye to its full potential. Meanwhile, the party pushes their enemies toward defeat when the necromancer casts Cone of Cold, dropping Turk unconscious.As he falls, time slows to a stop, and he meets his much-maligned patron, Kas the Bloody-handed. The Vampire questions Turks' resolve and motivations for his pact, ultimately relieving the halfling of his powers after he refuses to do the betrayer's bidding. Turk isn't the only one pushed to the edge by the Cone of Cold. Zechs soon falls unconscious after a strike from the barbarian. The Tabaxi awakes in a vision of the spirit world of his people, the Goddess of the realm at his side. Tumra, the Snow Leopard, helps the Ranger unburden himself through thoughtful conversation and quiet contemplation. As the battle comes to a dramatic close, with Salix performing the revivify spell on Shanks' lifeless body, the archer's time in the Veil draws to a close. He meets the Matron of Ravens, who informs him that his time in the land of the living is not at an end. She, like the party, is opposed to the Constable's plans and wishes for him to take her blessing back to stop the needless loss of life, once and for all. Shanks accepts this gift as everything fades to black.There's so much happening, and that's where we pick up…Find out what happens next in this episode of the Medusa's Cascade: Collateral Damage!Theme Music is written and performed by EfflorescenceMixed by Thomas Lapierre IIITitle Card by Pierce Graphics Check out the show at themedusascascade.com Hosted on Acast.

The party splits briefly before reuniting to meet Yurik Strauss, where Arguile, revealed as Sylas Nicks, seeks information about his missing mother, Dorna. Yurik offers aid in exchange for the group helping find his son Enich, and after an intense sparring match with Galahad that ends in a double knockout, the party accepts him as capable enough to travel through the Underdark. They spend time in the Old Quarter striking trade deals, reunite Arguile with Dorna in an emotional reveal, and clarify that Yurik's Enich is not Arguile's alternate-self-turned-Skin-Flayer. After reviewing grim accounts of the siege of Ors Thurmar, the group sets off—only to become trapped in a looping forest around a strange cabin inhabited by a woman named Mal. Through investigation, teamwork, Bahamut's guidance, and deciphering a shift-cipher hidden in her books, they realize they are inside the Endless Maze and escape by pushing straight through.As they camp, a series of night watches deepens bonds within the group. The Turk and Yurik discuss family, Arguile and Zechs address guilt and growth, and Galahad and Shanks confront their looming destinies. Glad severs ties with her former divine patron and embraces her ancestral power, while the party later gathers around the fire to share personal stories. More heartfelt conversations follow the next night as Arguile and Yurik open up, Zechs and The Turk trade histories, and Galahad, Glad, and Salix reflect on divine manipulation and the hard choices ahead.Descending into the Underdark, the party regroups with Shanks, scouts for purple worm tunnels, and prepares for the horrors of Ors Thurmar. They negotiate with intelligent fungi, offering enemy corpses in exchange for information, and tensions rise around the fiendish aura of Yurik's sentient sword. When giant spiders attack in tight quarters, the group prevails but grows increasingly wary of Yurik's behavior. Using telepathy, scouting, and quick thinking, they navigate Myconid territory, skirt a spore ritual that briefly knocks out The Turk, rest, and continue through glowing bioluminescent caverns toward the dangers still awaiting them.There's so much happening, and we pick up with arc 28, “Smash and Grab”.

On today's episode, I'm joined by Emily of @eccarterart, where we talk about spiritual awakening, grief, art as a portal, energetic sensitivity, and what happens when the life you were living can no longer hold who you are becoming.In this episode we explore:Spiritual awakening without the glitterEmily shares her experience of what is often called a “spiritual awakening” and how disorientating, overwhelming, and destabilising it can feel when it first arrives. We talk honestly about the fear of “going mad,” the need for frameworks, and the importance of support, therapy, and grounding alongside spiritual opening.Art as a bridge between worldsEmily speaks about her journey from art teacher, to burnout, to loss, to becoming a spirit painter. We explore how art can become a language for energies, emotions, ancestors, and archetypes that have no other place to land.Emily shares about painting with eyes closed, using colour intuitively, and allowing spirit to lead rather than the rational mind. Art as relationship, trust, and listening.Trust as a lived practiceA central theme of this episode is trust. Trusting intuition. Trusting the body. Trusting what is coming through, even when the logical mind resists.Emily shares how choosing trust led, improbably, to her first solo exhibition and how things began to move once she stopped trying to control the outcome.Energetic sensitivity and hygieneWe spend time talking about energetic sensitivity, particularly in teaching, caregiving, and creative work. Emily reflects on how overwhelming it was to carry other people's emotions in the classroom, and we explore the idea of energetic hygiene as essential, not indulgent.From visual “scraping” practices, to changing clothes, to salt baths and intention, we talk about simple ways of clearing what's not ours to carry.Where the body speaksWe explore how the body communicates information. We talk about where different energies are felt, how meaning shows up somatically, and how over time the body becomes a reliable language rather than something to override.Gods, goddesses, and archetypal alliesEmily shares her relationship with Medusa and Freya, and how these energies have been present throughout her life long before she had language for them.We talk about archetypes not as distant beings to worship correctly, but as energies that walk with us, protect us, challenge us, and help us reclaim parts of ourselves that were silenced or shamed.Nature, mud, and rejecting purity cultureOur conversation ventures into land, forests, the sea, dirt, mud, and the deep discomfort I have with purity culture.We talk about how connection not being about cleanliness or perfection, but touch, mess, play, and remembering that we are of the earth, not above it.From forests and fungi to caves, sound, and ancient art, we explore creativity as a fundamentally human act rather than something reserved for the talented or trained.Coming out without being rejectedEmily speaks candidly about the fear of being seen as “too much” or “too strange” once she began sharing her spiritual and artistic work, and the surprise of discovering that most people were not shocked at all, and how often the fear of being ourselves is far greater than the reality.This is an episode about honouring the slow, unglamorous work of becoming whole.-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --All of the Magick:The A Pinch of Magick App:IPhone - download on the App StoreAndroid - download pn the Google PlayOur (free) magickal Community: Facebook GroupMagickal JournalsExplore on Amazon Rebecca's Author PageWebsiteRebeccaAnuwen.comMagickalHabits.comInstagramFor Magick: Click hereFor a Sacred Pause in Nature: Click hereFor CharmCasting: Click hereFor Merlin, my Dog: Click here

Wishing you a Happy Galentine's Day season, this episode is dedicated to a thorough look at the concept of feminist love with Esmée Streachailt and Jocelyn Crawley. First up, hear Thistle deliver the podcast greeting before the world news segment with Cat Bradfield featuring stories from the Gambia, Chile, Indonesia and the United States. Next, take a listen to the interview Jocelyn did with Ms. Esmée Streachailt of MedusaRising.org, a wonderful radical feminist organization that engages and inspires young women to join the movement. Esmée and Jocelyn explore patriarchal concepts of love in order to highlight the need for a radical feminist love that uproots and heals. Finally, take a deep dive into the concept of feminist love with Jocelyn's commentary she leaves us with after the interview. Stay tuned 'til the very end for Margaret's explanation of this month's cover art reprinted below. From WLRN's resident graphic designer, Margaret: "I started with the idea of light representing love. Light flowing out of our selves - connecting us. I found a photo of our sun I had captured which showed rays radiating out. I reused some silhouettes I had created for earlier editions, and arranged them to show women in a circle around the source of light, and love, holding hands. For the background I added a NASA image of stars that I altered with colors. Stars across the universe, like our sun, some with the potential for light and love. But it is our earth, and each other which constellates our reality. It is our sun which is the source of light that allows us to live, and to love. It is our selves which bring light and love to each other. Blessed be!"

How does storytelling build authority - and where's the line between authenticity and vulnerability? On this episode of Behind The Numbers With Dave Bookbinder, Dave Bookbinder is joined by Autumn Karen - filmmaker, journalist, ghostwriter, educator, and author of The Surrogate Author - for a deep dive into the power of narrative and the responsibility that comes with it. Autumn explains why “words are power,” how storytelling shapes credibility, and why leaders often misunderstand what it really means to be authentic. The conversation explores how personal and professional narratives are constructed, curated, and sometimes compromised in the pursuit of visibility and influence. Dave and Autumn unpack the craft and ethics of ghostwriting, including empathy-driven collaboration, capturing a client's voice through a method-acting approach, editorial decision-making, contracts, and what business owners should know before hiring a ghostwriter or committing to a book project. They also discuss the current and future role of AI in writing and creative work, mentorship and teaching lessons from the classroom, and why writing a book can bring clarity, confidence, and authority to leaders - when done the right way. Autumn shares insights from her deeply personal animated short Infinity Care, offering a candid look at balancing creative ambition with emotional labor, and explains what readers can expect from The Surrogate Author - a practical, textbook-style guide covering craft, business practices, and ethics for ghostwriters in the age of AI.

Castmates… After The Murder is BACK, and episode 7 of The Traitors US (Season 4) delivered chaos, couture, and cold-blooded gameplay.Welington is joined by a stellar panel — Jazmine from Channel Surf and Parish, host of Pardon Me With P — to break down the now-infamous banquet that kicked off the episode in full “black dinner” madness. From Lisa Rinna's founding-father-meets-sailor realness to Candiace's Medusa headpiece, we rank the best looks before diving straight into the mess.The faithfuls spiral over the antidote, accusations fly across the table, Natalie goes full fight-or-flight, and the cursed player reveal rocks the castle. Then the game flips again when a brand-new power enters play: the dagger, granting two votes at the roundtable — and Rob gets his hands on it.At breakfast, the turret fractures turn into a full-blown Traitors civil war. Rob refuses to protect Rinna, Rinna checks Colton, and Candiace makes it crystal clear she's not going down quietly. By the time we hit the roundtable, Yam Yam's dying words become a smoking gun, Rob goes way too aggressive, and Candiace delivers a shocking vote that officially launches the endgame.We close with predictions and strategy:

In this episode, Medusa: The Raft of Artistry and Tragedy, we dive into the powerful story behind Théodore Géricault's controversial masterpiece, The Raft of the Medusa. Does The Raft of the Medusa invoke beauty of these true events, or does it reveal a romanticized idealization of something truly tragic? Find out as we explore Théodore Géricault's controversial masterpiece on Exploring Art Podcast.

In this episode, we delve into the line between beauty and horror. We talk about whether a drastic and horrifying event can be believed to be beautiful. Discussing the in between of morality and immorality. Join us to discover whether beauty can be horror or if horror can be beauty.

in this episode, we explore the life and work of Théodore Géricault and specifically delve into his painting "The Raft of Medusa." The painting, a beautiful romantic era oil painting, depicts the tragic events that occurred when more than 150 people were abandoned at sea during a French Naval mission. Only 15 survived and had to resort to cannibalism to do so. It became apparent to the public that these people were only put in this position because of poor leadership by an inexperienced government appointed Naval captain. Gericault painted "The Raft of Medusa" to comment on this and shock the public with his beautiful depiction of such a tragic event. This raises the question "Can Tradgedy Ever Be Beautiful?" Music Davy Ngafoua-Oliva

In this episode, we dive into Théodore Géricault's “The Raft of the Medusa”, a painting inspired by a real shipwreck and full of drama. We talk about the tragic story of the Méduse, the scandal it caused, and how Géricault turned human suffering into an unforgettable work of art. We explore the painting's composition, the emotions it evokes, and how it balances horror with beauty. Our discussion also looks at the tricky question of whether it's okay to make tragedy “beautiful.” Tune in for a conversation about Romanticism, the power of art, and why this painting still fascinates people today.

The Serpent's Strait Ch. 7As we kick off the fight, Bob hurls a psychic lance at the sister and gets the party started. The fight commences, and Sister Flinthorn isn't pulling any punches against the crew. After Valen zooms at her, throwing several kicks and punches, a confused look passes over him as she has used the shield to beef herself up for this encounter. She turns to the rest of the group and casts synaptic static at them, and throws a monkey wrench immediately at any of their plan. Chantico fires off some scorching rays and uses fiery teleport to better reposition herself, Bob uses cloud of daggers, and Thorak attempts to grapple her himself, but gets banished instead, but only briefly, as a blow from Valen breaks her concentration. It's a more brutal fight than they had anticipated, for sure. Chantico sets the roof and Sister ablaze with flame strike, and Ursus lands a decisive blow to Flinthorn. Before the crowd gathers further, Valen slips away to get a feel for the town and to see if stopping her had any effect on the citizens. It didn't, and in fact, the closer Valen moved towards the mines, the more it felt as if something was trying to prevent him from going into them and exploring further. With his stillness of mind, he manages to come back to his senses and regroups with the party.Meanwhile, the party makes their exit after the fiery explosion that took the church with molten bronze and THE book in tow. Back at their lodging for the evening, the group divvies up watches and insists on keeping an eye on the townsfolk who are giving off strange vibes. They are muttering, and all seem to be gathering around the middle of the town, amongst a great bonfire. Valen, having observed this on the rooftop during his watch, informs the next watch, Thorak, of what is going on. Thorak takes his watch to experiment with some bits of monster he's collected and some other varying items to try to make a poison of some kind, a failed first attempt, but it makes for great learning. The final watch is split between Ursus and Chantico: Chantico on the rooftop, where Valen observed the crazed townfolk, and Ursus below, keeping an eye on things internally. Chantico updates Ursus on the happenings in this bizarre mining town, and he tells her to prepare a good mix of spells for the fight ahead. As they get ready for the day, they look back and see the square emptying and heading towards the mines. An eerie, ominous, and chilling dread washes over the party at this information. There's so much happening, and that's where we pick up…Find out what happens next in this episode of the Medusa's Cascade: Blood & Booze!

In this special episode, I'm taking you back to a conversation I recorded a few years ago with one of the astrologers I admire most, Demetra George.My fascination with the Dark Moon didn't come from astrology school. It grew slowly over time, through being around magical women, healers, and seekers who understood that the quietest phase of the lunar cycle carries extraordinary power.Everything truly crystallised when I read Demetra's book Mysteries of the Dark Moon. I became determined to speak with her, and after a little persistence and quite a few emails, she finally agreed.What followed was one of the most memorable conversations I've ever had about lunar wisdom, goddess traditions, and the ancient roots of astrology.In this episode, we explore why the Dark Moon isn't something to fear, what ancient astrologers really taught about feminine spirituality, and how this hidden phase of the Moon can be used for healing, insight, and renewal.This conversation also feels especially timely as I prepare for the release of my Dark Moon Oracle Cards, now available for pre order. In this episode, we cover:How Demetra George first became fascinated with goddess mythology and astrology.Why the Dark Moon represents withdrawal, regeneration, and the sacred pause before a new cycle.The inspiration behind Mysteries of the Dark Moon.The forgotten ancient name of the Third House as the House of the Goddess.How early astrological texts linked the Moon with women's rites, dreams, and divination.Demetra's interpretations of Medusa and Lilith and reclaiming feminine power.The symbolism of serpents, Kundalini energy, and feminine wisdom.How ancient priestesses used ritual, sexuality, and lunar timing for healing and regeneration.Why goddess traditions may not have vanished, but simply entered a hidden phase.Simple Dark Moon rituals you can try at home.Clearing your space, unplugging from stimulation, and inviting dreams and insight.How astrology can act as a form of remembrance rather than prediction.Why this episode mattersThis is a conversation about slowing down in a fast world.If you've ever felt drawn to lunar cycles, goddess wisdom, or the quieter spiritual spaces between endings and beginnings, this episode is for you.Finding Demetra George Find Demetra George at https://demetra-george.com/And her amazing book MYSTERIES OF THE DARK MOON here https://geni.us/darkmoonmysteriesExplore the Dark Moon with meIf listening to this episode sparks your curiosity, I've created a free guide to help you work with the Dark Moon in a grounded and supportive way.You can download it here: https://magic.moonology.com/get-dark-moon-guideIt'll show you how to use this powerful lunar phase for release, healing, and renewal so you can move into each New Moon cycle feeling clearer and more aligned.

When a dying Sun-like star exhales its final breath, it’s a doozy. The star blows its outer layers of gas into space. That surrounds the star’s dying core with a colorful bubble. The bubble can last for tens of thousands of years before it fades away. One of those bubbles is on the edge of Gemini, which is well up in the east at nightfall. Known as the Medusa Nebula, the bubble is about 1500 light-years away, and it spans more than four light-years. It’s named for one of the Gorgons of Greek mythology. That’s because some of its tendrils of gas have reminded skywatchers of the snakes on Medusa’s head. Those tendrils have been expanding into space for thousands of years. They began their journey when their star could no longer produce nuclear reactions in its core. Gravity squeezed the dying core tighter, making it smaller and hotter. The radiation of the hotter core pushed away the layers of gas around the core. Today, they’re moving outward at more than 30 miles per second. Ultraviolet light from the core “energizes” the gas in the nebula, making it glow like a fluorescent bulb. Different elements glow in different colors. That tells astronomers about the original star, and about the process of its demise. The fate of the Medusa Nebula is shared by all Sun-like stars. So billions of years from now, the Sun will create its own nebula – a colorful bubble blown with its dying breath. Script by Damond Benningfield

This week we look back at the 2010's Clash of the Titans, starring Sam Worthington, Ralph Fiennes, and Liam Neeson. This contentious remake of the 1981 Ray Harryhausen classic sparked a lot of debate upon release with fans of the original film, but found its own audience with a younger generation that grew up playing God of War games on Playstation.

Family Matters Ch. 17The fight opens in chaos: Shanks fires a concussive shot at the cleric as Galahad and Arguile are stunned, and the barbarian hounds Zechs with smite-infused strikes. The monk shadow-steps to Shanks, stunning him, while Salix restrains the necromancer, only for him to immediately hurl a fireball into the group. Galahad answers with Channel Divinity, dropping the cleric, and Glad heals him with her circlet before attempting to finish her off, but a blight from the necromancer weakens Glad's blows. The barbarian lands a reckless hit on Galahad, Arguile critically wounds the cleric, and Turk summons a spirit of death to pressure the monk, though its necrotic damage is resisted. Stuns continue to fly as undead thralls join the fray; Turk counters a blight aimed at a stunned Galahad, Glad restrains the necromancer with her wand, accidentally sticking Salix to him, and Shanks trades shots with the monk. Arguile ultimately delivers the killing blow to the cleric.Momentum shifts again as Zechs' lightning arrow misfires, clipping the stunned Galahad, and Turk's eldritch blasts are blunted by shields tied to the Elrin light. The monk keeps Galahad locked down with repeated stuns and even drops Turk briefly, while the necromancer's thralls batter Salix back into their true form and hammer Galahad to the brink. A devastating fireball drops Galahad and Lorainne outright; as Galahad fades, he reaches out to Bahamut, is met by a golden sparrow, and affirms his faith. Empowered by Bahamut's blessing, rage beyond death, he rises again, eyes glowing azure as seven golden sparrows circle him.With Galahad back in the fight, Shanks outplays the monk, baiting reactions before landing the decisive double shots; Arguile and Zechs finish him moments later, and Zechs clears the remaining skeletons. The barbarian turns her fury on Turk as Salix's psychic lance is counterspelled and the necromancer's zombies miss. Then the necromancer locks eyes with Shanks and utters Power Word Kill. The battlefield falls silent as Shanks collapses dead...There's so much happening, and that's where we pick up…Find out what happens next in this episode of the Medusa's Cascade: Collateral Damage!

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. This brings us to a look at some of Arthur C. Clarke's other stories, A Time Odyssey (1951), Tales From the White Hart (1957), The Nine Billion Names of God (1954), The Star (1955), Dolphin Island (1964), and A Meeting With Medusa (1971. These stories will wrap up our look at Clarke's Science Fiction and we have seen a lot of good stuff here. And as a final note, we cover CLarke's Three Laws. Arthur C. Clarke: Other Works, A Time Odyssey A collaboration between two of science fiction's best authors: what could possibly go wrong? Well, something went wrong. This series is not bad, but I hesitate to describe it as good. This series was described by Clarke as neither a prequel nor a sequel, but an “orthoquel”, a name coined from “orthogonal”, which means something roughly like “at right angles”, though it is also used in statistics to denote events that are independent and do not influence each other. And in relativity theory Time is orthogonal to Space. And in multi-dimensional geometry we can talk about axes in each dimension as orthogonal to all of the others. It is something I can't picture, being pretty much limited to three dimensions, but it can be described mathematically. It is sort of like the 2001 series, but not really. It has globes instead of monoliths. And the spheres have a circumference and volume that is related to their radius not by the usual pi, but by exactly three. Just what this means I am not sure, other than they are not sphere's in any usual sense of the word. In this story these spheres seem to be gathering people from various eras and bringing them to some other planet which gets christened “Mir”, though not in any way to the Russian Space Station. It is a Russian word that can mean “peace”, “world”, or “village”. I have seen it used a lot to refer to a village in my studies of Russian history. Anyway, the inhabitants include two hominids, a mother and daughter, a group of British Redcoats, Mongols from the Genghis Khan era, a UN Peacekeeper helicopter, a Russian space capsule, an unknown Rudyard Kipling, the army of Alexander The Great… Well at least they have lots of characters to throw around. They end up taking sides and fighting each other. In the end several of the people are returned to Earth in their own time. But the joke is on them. The beings behind the spheres are call themselves The Firstborn because they were the first to achieve sentience. They figure that best way for them to remain safe is to wipe out any other race that achieves sentience, making them to polar opposite of the beings behind the monoliths in 2001, for whom the mind is sacred. Anyway, the Firstborn have arranged for a massive solar flare that will wipe out all life on Earth and completely sterilize the planet, but conveniently it will happen in 5 years, leaving time for plot development. Of course the people of Earth will try to protect themselves. Then in the third book of the series an ominous object enters the solar system. This is of course a callback to the Rama object. It is like they wanted to take everything from the Rama series and twist it. While I love a lot of Clarke's work and some of Baxter's as well, I think this is eminently skippable. The two of them also collaborated on the final White Hart story, which isn't bad Other Works Tales from the White Hart This collection of short stories has a unity of the setting, a pub called White Hart, where a character tells outrageous stories. Other characters are thinly disguised science fiction authors, including Clarke himself. Clarke mentions that he was inspired to do this by the Jorkens stories of Lord Dunsany, which are also outrageous tall tales, but lacking the science fictions aspects of Clarke's stories. Of course this type of story has a long history, in which we would do well to mention the stories of Baron Munchausen, and of course the stories of L. Sprague de Camp and Fletcher Pratt as found in Tales from Gavagan's Bar. And Spider Robinson would take this basic idea and turn it into a series of books about Callahan's Place. Stories of this type are at least as much Fantasy as anything, but quite enjoyable, and I think I can recommend all of these as worth the time to while away a cold winter's evening while sitting by a warm fire with a beverage of choice. The Nine Billion Names of God This short story won a retrospective Hugo in 2004 as being the best short story of 1954. The idea is that a group of Tibetan monks believe that the purpose of the universe is to identify the nine billion names of God, and once that has been done the universe will no longer have a purpose and will cease to exist. They have been identifying candidates and writing them down, but the work is very slow, so they decide that maybe with a little automation they can speed it up. So they get a computer (and in 1954, you should be picturing a room-sized mainframe), and then hire some Western programmers to develop the program to do this. The programmers don't believe the monks are on to anything here, but a paycheck is a paycheck. They finish the program and start it running, but decide they don't want to be there when the monks discover their theory doesn't work, so they take off early without telling anyone, and head down the mountain. But on the way, they see the stars go out, one by one. The Star This classic short story won the Hugo for Best Short Story in 1956. The story opens with the return of an interstellar expedition that has been studying a system where the star went nova millennia ago. But the expedition's astrophysicist, a Jesuit Priest, seems to be in a crisis of faith. And if you think it implausible that a Jesuit Priest could also be an astrophysicist, I would suggest you look into the case of the Belgian priest Georges Lemaître, who first developed the theory of the Big Bang. Anyway, in the story, they learn that this system had a planet much like Earth, and it had intelligent beings much like Earth, who were peaceful, but in a tragic turn of events they knew that their star was going to explode, but they had no capability of interstellar travel. So they created a repository on the outermost planet of the system that would survive the explosion, and left records of their civilization. And when the Jesuit astrophysicist calculated the time of the explosion and the travel time for light, he is shaken: “[O]h God, there were so many stars you could have used. What was the need to give these people to the fire, that the symbol of their passing might shine above Bethlehem?” Dolphin Island This is a good Young Adult novel about the People of the Sea, who are dolphins. They save a young boy who had stowed away on a hovership that subsequently had crashed, and because no one knew about him he was left among the wreckage when the crew takes off in the life boats. And from here it is the typical Bildungsroman you find in most Young Adult novels. The dolphins bring him to an island, where he becomes involved with a research community led by a professor who is trying to communicate with dolphins. He learns various skills there, survives dangers, and in the end has to risk his life to save the people on the island. If you have a 13 year old in your house, this is worth looking for. A Meeting With Medusa This won the 1972 Nebula Award for Best Novella. It concerns one Howard Falcon, who early in the story has an accident involving a helium-filled airship, is badly injured, and requires time and prosthetics to heal. But then he promotes an expedition to Jupiter that uses similar technology, a Hot-Hydrogen balloon-supported aircraft. This is to explore the upper reaches of Jupiter's atmosphere, which is the only feasible way to explore given the intense gravity of this giant planet. Attempting to land on the solid surface would mean being crushed by the gravity and air pressure, so that is not possible. The expedition finds there is life in the upper clouds of Jupiter. Some of it is microscopic, like a kind of “air plankton” which is bio-luminescent. But there are large creatures as well, one of which is like jellyfish, but about a mile across. This is the Medusa of the title. Another is Manta-like creature, about 100 yards across, that preys on the Medusa. But when the Medusa starts to take an interest on Falcon's craft, he decides to get out quick for safety's sake. And we learn that because of the various prosthetics implanted after the airship accident Falcon is really a cyborg with much faster reactions than ordinary humans. As we have discussed previously, Clarke loved the sea, and in this novella he is using what he knows in that realm to imagine a plausible ecology in the atmosphere of Jupiter. Of course when he wrote this novella no one knew about the truly frightening level of radiation around Jupiter, but then a clever science fiction writer could come up with a way to work around that. Clarke's Three Laws Finally, no discussion of Arthur C. Clarke can omit his famous Three Laws. Asimov had his Three Laws of Robotics, and Clarke had his Three Laws of Technology. When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong. The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. This concludes our look at Arthur C. Clarke, the second of the Big Three of the Golden Age of Science Fiction. And that means we are ready to tackle the Dean of Science Fiction, Robert A. Heinlein.

Coming to you from the studio at TechTown after a long weekend, today's show is all about what's happening in Detroit's food and drink world — the good, the bad, and the "wait, that closed already?" I'm joined by our engineer of both audio and alcohol, Randy Walker, to dig into some big changes at longtime favorites, why some promising spots didn't make it, and where you should actually spend your money right now. We'll talk rum bars, laptop bans at coffee shops, the future of the Ren Cen, and Randy's first impressions of Medusa in Midtown. The topics: Hygrade Deli in Southwest Detroit is in receivership after loan defaults and building issues, putting the longtime corned beef spot's future in doubt.​ We unpack why some well-regarded restaurants like Carajillo in Ferndale close within a year, from price perception to competition and capital.​ Randy talks about how Port in Ferndale shifted from laid-back rum haven to trendier, simpler drinks and how that changed the vibe.... plus where serious rum fans should go now, from Tocororo to Mutiny, and tease a future Daily Detroit happy hour.​ A new Pizza Cat on East Jefferson shows promise for downtown lunches even as the surrounding Jefferson/Ren Cen area struggles.​ We preview Burns Night with Acroyd Scottish Bakery at Urbanrest, complete with haggis, neeps and tatties, bagpipers, and the "stabbing of the haggis."​ Are you for or against laptops at coffeeshops? Roost Detroit's no-laptop policy sparks a bigger conversation about coffee shop etiquette, remote work, and who these spaces are really for.​ We had a "last lunch" at the Ren Cen Burger King and reflect on the eerie, post-pandemic decline of the complex, and how demolishing two Ren Cen towers and opening the site to the riverfront could match reality better than nostalgia.​ And finally, Randy gives a first-look review of Medusa in Midtown, from standout lamb and cocktails to price point, vibe, and whether it's worth a special night out.​ Feedback as always - dailydetroit -at- gmail -dot- com or leave a voicemail 313-789-3211.

The party arrives at the cemetery and meets Shepard Miles, Yurik's Crew, and Dorna, with tension so thick it threatens to erupt at any moment. That fuse is struck when Arioch appears as a golden-skinned elf and reveals the truth behind the tragedy binding them all together: Yurik is Arguile's biological father. Long ago, a bargain to save Arguile's life replaced Arguile's heart with his father's, at the cost of all parties forgetting one another. Fate, or Arioch's cruel amusement, later reunited Yurik and Dorna, resulting in the birth of Enich, Arguile's younger brother. All of it, Arioch admits, was done simply because it entertained him.Arioch then presents Yurik and Arguile with a horrific choice: his army needs a general, and there are two candidates for one position, so they must fight for it. Despite pleas and defiance, Yurik attacks first, begging forgiveness as Arguile refuses to strike back and challenges Arioch's logic. The demon's answer is merciless: it's more fun this way. To force compliance, Arioch seizes Dorna and threatens to kill and resurrect her repeatedly until they fight in earnest. After a brutal demonstration of his power, father and son are forced to take the duel seriously. The party can only watch, unable to intervene without certain death, offering what aid they can through spells and support, until Arioch halts all interference. When both Yurik and Arguile offer themselves to spare Dorna, Arioch instead forces Dorna to choose. He then cruelly infects Enich with the same disease that once afflicted Arguile, declaring her son's life limited either way. In the end, Yurik agrees to go with Arioch, granted only a brief farewell with his family, a devastating moment with no true victory.As Yurik is taken away, Enich escorts Dorna to safety in a nearby crypt, and the focus shifts to the remaining threat: Yurik's Crew preparing to fight. The party braces itself as battle erupts, immediately turning against them when a necromancer raises a dozen skeletons to swell the enemy ranks. Galahad is stunned out of the fight by a monk, Shanks lands a heavy blow on the cleric, only for them to heal and press on, and what once looked like a manageable encounter rapidly becomes a brutal, uphill struggle. With no clear victor in sight, the clash marks only the beginning of an even darker confrontation to come.There's so much happening, and that's where we pick up…Find out what happens next in this episode of the Medusa's Cascade Theme Music is written and performed by EfflorescenceMixed by Thomas Lapierre IIITitle Card by Pierce Graphics Check out the show at themedusascascade.com Hosted on Acast.

JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN for this & more Astro News You Can Use! @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking which drops today, January 16!There's safety in numbers, folks, that's what this Capricorn New Moon tells us now as it occurs at 28'44" Capricorn at 11:52 a.m. PT & 2:52 p.m. ET January 18! This Saturn-ruled lunation tells us it's time to get serious about being more responsibly focused on standing our ground, while it's earthy trines by both luminaries, Mercury, & Mars to Uranus--still Rx in Taurus--denote an easy path if we stick together now.  Earthy practical Capricorn is known to be success oriented in terms of physical manifestation. If it's not practical, the Capricorn archetype doesn't want to waste time on pie-in-the-sky dreams with no possible way of becoming reality.The waning portion of the last monthly lunar cycle--which began with the Sagittarius New Moon on December 19--asked us to go deep about our true sense of what is moral, ethical, & just. The Cancer New Moon on January 3 then revealed with stark clarity exactly how much immortality & injustice exists in the world around us.This Capricorn New Moon tells us now that we must get serious about understanding this reality, and that the only recourse is to band together to stand firm against those who perpetrate such ethical violations & moral injustices.This lunation occurs in the U.S. natal Sibly chart's 2nd House of values & resources, & conjunct its natal Pluto at 27'33 Capricorn. So we KNOW we're being asked to empower this nation by drawing greater distinctions between our own true values and those of the powers that be—especially those who control our resources & finances now.Meanwhile this lunation's multiple trines to Uranus Rx in Taurus in the 12th House of the unconscious realm, beckon us to awaken to an easier pathway to resist those who are trying to impose their unwelcome (& unrealistic) set of values on us. And the Capricorn New Moon says their values are not lasting ones as they are impractical in nature & therefore—in the end—realistically unachievable.AQUARIUS SEASON HAS BEGUN: TIME TO SEE THE LIGHT & KNOW THAT TOGETHER WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL!Venus enters Aquarius January 17, and the Sun, Mercury, & Mars all follow suit on January 19, 20, & 23, respectively. After the past month of governmental initiated brute force used against those in cities across America, this influx of Aquarian energy frees us to think differently about how to combat such injustices now.It's clear in retrospect that the past week of tense squares by Venus, Sun, Mars, & Mercury in Capricorn to wounded healer Chiron & chaos bringer dwarf planet Eris in Aries manifested in violent actions against protestors (read: literal wounding.) This includes not only the death or Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis Minnesota on January 7, but the more recent wounding of others, including the young man in L.A. who's permanently blind in one eye now after being shot in the face with pepper balls by an ICE agent. The symbolism of this particular act of violence lies in the fact that Uranus has been retrograding from 29-degrees of Taurus—known as the Pleiades point which is associated with “blindness”—back to 27-degrees Taurus, a degree away from the fixed star Algol.Algol represents an “off with his head” energy as its meaning derives from Greek mythology's hero Perseus who slayed the snake-haired gorgon Medusa by cutting off her head & ending her ability to turn people to stone with her gaze.  After Uranus stations direct again at 27'28” Taurus on February 3, it will once again hit the Pleiades point from early April through to April 25 when Uranus reenters Gemini. By then it's highly likely that even those who've been blind to the depths of the immorality of the people who run the U.S. government will begin to see the light. In addition, when Uranus again transits through 29 degrees of Taurus, it will affect those whose birth charts contain the fixed star Regulus at that degree. You know, folks like Donald Trump, who's 29'55” Leo Ascendant conjoins Regulus, known as the king maker & king breaker.That's because, while Regulus predicts the potential for reaching great heights of power, it also portends a huge fall from grace if one uses such power for evil ends such as retribution against perceived enemies. Trump clearly has no astrologer to guide him, else he'd have been forewarned not to act as he has since he became president a second time in January 2025.It's clear that group sentiment has been changing how they value Trump's actions in office thus far (Uranus Rx in Taurus.) You know, like his threat this past week to invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807 which empowers the U.S. President to nationally deploy the U.S. military and to federalize the National Guard units of the individual states.That act allows the president to do this in specific circumstances, such as for the suppression of civil disorder, of insurrection, and of armed rebellion against the federal government of the U.S.Invoking this—along with Trump's other plans such his desire to increase ICE's funding, change mail-in election ballot rules, attempt to take over Greenland, & the confiscation & selling of seized Venezuelan oil & depositing the $500M proceeds in an offshore account, among so many others—will not sit well with Americans.And that displeasure is likely to make itself felt as Uranus once again reaches its square to his natal Regulus/Ascendant & Mars in April as the two political party's primaries will be well under way.While he's not on the ballot in November 2026, plenty of his Republican minions are. And it's not looking good for them—assuming we, the people, can stand together against such a tyrannical regime that's killing people in the streets, & detaining, jailing, & deporting others without due process. EMPOWERMENT VERSUS DISEMPOWERMENTEmpowerment becomes the word of this coming week as Venus, Mercury, the Sun, & Mars all conjoin with Pluto in Aquarius between January 19 & 27—especially since we may hear another (potentially surprising) announcement by the powers that be when the Sun conjoins Mercury in Aquarius between now & January 21.This sets off new synodic cycles which will eventually reach their peaks when Venus in Leo opposes Pluto on June 17, & the Sun follows suit July 26. Mercury does so on August 11, while the one to watch is the Mars opposition to Pluto in Aquarius on October 3. Bear in mind the latter will occur a month before the November 3, 2026, midterm elections, meaning after the party's nominees have slugged it out during the earlier primary period.Keep in mind also that during this period, by mid-October, transiting Mars in Leo will have conjoined with Trump's 12th H Pluto at 10 Leo, and will be headed for his natal Mars return, which occurs after the election on November 18.Empowering ourselves now against what's potentially to come IF it looks like Trump's party is losing power after November 3 may well involve bracing ourselves for dealing with an increasingly desperate, wounded, cornered animal. Just a head's up...Join us for all this & more Astro News You Can Use—including a deeper look at the big picture overview of the current Saturn/Pluto, Saturn/Neptune, & Jupiter/Saturn cycles--& what they portend for the future when you tune in, starting today at 11 a.m. PT & 2 p.m. ET, @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking... See you then!!

Family Matters Ch. 15Still in Ors Themar, the party finishes a short rest and prepares to escape, quickly realizing that leaving the city may be as dangerous as entering it. They navigate tight passages, dispel glyphs, and move with hushed precision, managing to avoid further combat and finally put distance between themselves and the city before making camp for the night. During watches, they process the weight of what they witnessed. Shanks thanks Yurik for the rescue, concerns are raised about Ors Themar's implications for Nakoroa, and the group reflects on how dire the situation may be.During the watches, deeper conversations unfold. Turk and Glad discuss Glad's fallout with The Protector, while Arguile admits he initially believed Yurik was the threat his mother, Dorna, was facing. Galahad and Shanks speak candidly about fear, death, how Galahad's aura functions, and a new potion Shanks has been developing. By morning, Shanks discovers a small copper coin and a raven's feather, an ominous sign, while Arguile notices the stone's count has dropped to two. Alarmed, the group breaks camp and heads back toward the city with urgency, stopping one last time at the now-empty field where the cursed cabin once stood. Overnight, the stone drops further, ticking down from 0.5 to 0.1 as they approach.Upon entering the city, a shepherd informs Yurik that Shepard Miles has summoned them to their usual meeting place. Before going, they detour to Yurik and Dorna's home, only to find it empty as the stone finally reaches zero. As Yurik struggles to understand where Dorna could be, questions arise about his connection to Shepard Miles. Shanks realizes Arioch has been manipulating events behind the scenes all along, and when Galahad asks about Yurik's sword, Yurik reveals it was given to him by Shepard Miles. Recognizing the urgency, Shanks insists they leave immediately, and as they rush to confront Shepard Miles, the group identifies Yurik's blade as Tempest's Edge.There's so much happening, and that's where we pick up…Find out what happens next in this episode of the Medusa's Cascade: Collateral Damage!Theme Music is written and performed by EfflorescenceMixed by Thomas Lapierre IIITitle Card by Pierce GraphicsCheck out the show at themedusascascade.com Hosted on Acast.

To kick off the new year, besties Stacy and Daynah revisit Clash of the Titans — not as nostalgia, but as a cultural artifact. From Medusa's distorted origin story to the unchecked entitlement of male heroes, we unpack how victim-blaming, punishment, and “boys will be boys” logic are baked into Greek mythology. What starts as a fun rewatch quickly becomes a reckoning with who gets punished, who gets excused, and why these stories still shape how we understand power today.
