Last night both houses of Congress overwhelmingly voted to force the justice department to release the Epstein files. We could see the contents made public within days. But the vote itself, long resisted by Trump, has left the President looking weaker and more friendless amongst the MAGA base than he's ever been. Is he starting to look like a lame duck President? And are Republicans imagining a MAGA world that comes after Trump? Or will they quickly revert to fealty?

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.

Du bist mehr als die Summe deiner Gene. „Du bist nicht deine Gene. Du bist die Geschichte, die du mit ihnen schreibst.“ Dieser Podcast taucht tief in die Welt der Psycho-Epigenetik ein. Wir beleuchten, wie tiefe emotionale Erfahrungen und Traumata (auch transgenerational vererbt) chemische Spuren in deiner DNA hinterlassen können – und wie mächtig du bist, diese Spuren wieder zu löschen.„Trauma kann in DNA geschrieben werden – aber auch wieder gelöscht.“Wir sprechen über wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse, Neurobiologie und praktische Wege der Heilung und Selbstregulation. Lerne, wie du limitierende Muster durchbrichst, dein Stresssystem regulierst und aktiv die „Zukunft deiner Psyche“ in dir beginnst. Für alle, die verstehen wollen, wie Körper und Seele auf molekularer Ebene miteinander verbunden sind – und wie Wachstum möglich wird.Themenbereiche u.a. sind:EpigenetikTraumaHeilungPsycheGeneNeurobiologiePersönlichkeitsentwicklungSelbstheilungTransgenerationales TraumaPsychologieStressmanagementDNAKörper und SeeleTrauma-ArbeitWachstum

Durch eigene gesundheitliche Herausforderungen ist uns bewusst geworden, dass ein sorgloser Umgang mit Kunstlicht und die damit verbundenen negativen gesundheitlichen Auswirkungen stark unterschätzt werden. So der Lichtblock-Mitgründer Daniel Sentker. Der bewusste Einsatz von Licht schafft ein starkes Fundament für die Entstehung und den Erhalt von Gesundheit und Vitalität. Das besprechen wir in unserer heutigen Folge, herzlich willkommen Daniel.

„Warnhinweis: Wir sprechen über mentale Gesundheit, insbesondere Depression, bis hin zu suizidaler Gedanken. Diese Folge ersetzt keine Therapie. Wenn du dich unsicher fühlst, überspring sie oder hör sie mit einer vertrauten Person." „Ich wusste: Wenn ich das wirklich verstehen will, dann muss ich es mir selbst beibringen.“ Georg Roesl war Profisportler, Seriengründer und ist heute vor allem eines: Mentaltrainer mit Mission. In dieser Folge spricht er mit Stefan Bald über seinen außergewöhnlichen Lebensweg, der ihn von internationalen Billardturnieren über 16 Unternehmensgründungen bis hin zur Entwicklung einer eigenen Methode für mentale Gesundheit geführt hat. „Meine Grund-DNA ist Verkaufen. Aber mein Herz schlägt heute für mentale Aufklärung.“ George erzählt, wie er nach Jahren im Highspeed-Modus einen Gang runterschalten musste – und wie daraus sein bislang größtes Projekt entstand: die MHR-Methode (Meine Hausregel). Ein pragmatischer, verständlicher Leitfaden für mentale Gesundheit – basierend auf Selbsterfahrung, Selbststudium und dem tiefen Wunsch, anderen zu helfen, bevor es zu spät ist. Wir sprechen über: • den Sprung vom Leistungssport in die New Economy, • warum Vertrieb eine Lebensschule ist, • die Herausforderungen psychischer Gesundheit im Unternehmertum, • Georges Stiftung zur Unterstützung junger Menschen in akuten Krisen, • und darüber, wie mentale Fitness heute gedacht und gelebt werden sollte. „Ich hatte das Gefühl, ich verstehe meine eigene Psyche nicht – also hab ich sie mir übersetzt.“ Eine intensive Folge über Höhen, Tiefen, Wendepunkte – und den Mut, anderen den Weg zu erleichtern, den man selbst fast nicht geschafft hätte.

Im zweiten Teil des Live-Podcasts von Sitzfleisch reden Straps und Flo mit Jana Kesenheimer über Janas Erlebnisse im Finale des Transcontinental Race, wo sich der Dreikampf zwischen ihr und Cynthia Carson und Lael Wilcox noch einmal dramatisch zuspitzte. Jana blieb fokussiert, ließ sich nicht von Überholmanövern von ihrem Plan abbringen und knallte schlussendlich eine fabelhaft schnelle Zeit in den Asphalt. Damit zeigte sich erneut, dass Frauen umso länger die Belastungen dauern, ihre Stärken gegenüber Männern immer besser ausspielen können - denn Janas Fahrzeit in den letzten drei Tagen war bis auf wenige Minuten die schnellste von allen. Welche Emotionen gab es beim Zieleinlauf? Welche Rolle spielen mentale Stärke und die Psyche in diesem Sport? Wie können wir die wachsende Beteiligung von Frauen im Ultracycling und die Initiativen, die Frauen ermutigen, an solchen Rennen teilzunehmen, unterstützen? Abgerundet wird die Episode von einer Fragerunde aus dem Publikum.

In dieser Folge sprechen Stefan Wally, Miriam Nichtl und Carmen Bayer über zwei scheinbar gegensätzliche, doch eng verbundene Phänomene unserer Zeit: den wissenschaftlich erneuerten Blick auf Psychedelika als Tor zum Unbewussten – und den digitalen Trend, psychische Gesundheit in den sozialen Medien zu inszenieren. Was passiert, wenn uralte Bewusstseinspraktiken auf algorithmische Selbstdarstellung treffen? Zwischen Heilung, Hype und Selbstfindung fragen wir: Wie gehen wir heute mit unserer Psyche um – analog wie digital? Im ersten Teil diskutieren die drei Generationen (X, Y & Z) daher das Buch "Digitale Diagnosen. Psychische Gesundheit als Social-Media-Trend" von Laura Wiesböck und im Deep Dive unterhält sich Stefan Wally mit Claudia Gertraud Schwarz über Psychedelika als Tür zum Unbewussten.

Vor 80 Jahren, im November 1945, haben in Nürnberg die Prozesse gegen die Hauptkriegsverbrecher der Nazizeit begonnen. Zum ersten Mal wurde dort Gerechtigkeit auf einer internationalen Ebene verhandelt und gleichzeitig der Grundstein für das moderne Völkerstrafrecht gelegt. Das Dokudrama "Nürnberg 45 – Im Angesicht des Bösen" erzählt dieses geschichtliche Ereignis durch die Augen von zwei Überlebendenden des Konzentrationslagers Auschwitz. Die Nürnberger Prozesse sind auch ein großes Thema im History-Podcast "Alles Geschichte": In zwei besonderen Staffeln geht es um die Psyche der Angeklagten und um das dramatische Leben der polnischen Hauptzeugin Seweryna Szmaglewska.

In dieser Folge sprechen Pierre und Pelle über das Thema Heilung – was sie für uns persönlich bedeutet und warum wir in der Barfussschule keine Heilversprechen machen.

Wann hast du das letzte Mal jemanden einfach so angerufen – ohne vorher zu schreiben: „Hast du kurz Zeit?“. Quatschst du eher Chat Gpt voll als deine beste Freundin? Wir leben in einer Zeit, in der du mit einem Bot reden kannst, der dich besser versteht als deine Ex – aber trotzdem haben so viele Menschen das Gefühl, niemand ist wirklich da. In diesem Themenspecial von “Die Woche” sprechen wir also über: Einsamkeit – besser gesagt: Loneliness Epidemic: Ist die Gen Z tatsächlich die einsamste Generation ever? – Und wenn ja, warum? Warum sprechen wir so viel über Male Loneliness, wenn tatsächlich Frauen und Männer gleich einsam sind? Warum sollte uns Einsamkeit als Gesellschaft – also politisch – interessieren?

Nick Jeffery and John Granger sat down today to talk about the wonderful comment threads beneath their Hallmarked Man posts since publication day. They see every comment on every thread and realized no one else was seeing the brilliant theories and ideas from the Hogwarts Professor community.John was tasked with reviewing every comment post publication comment thread to identify the best offering they had not discussed in previous posts. Nick had the harder job of culling that list down to the best ten ideas; he balked and chose thirteen. John added two, just because.They both recommend you click on the links below as you listen to Nick and John embrace, push back, and marvel at the great Serious Striker conversations to be had here.The best of the best? J. S. Maleksen's ‘Dirty Bomb Charlotte,' which makes the credible argument that Rowling has written a back-stage scenario in which Charlotte seduces Ryan F. Murphy to destroy Robin Ellacott. Why? When? What? How? Read the comment beneath the #1 link below and listen to Nick and John talk, no, rave about this seemingly off-the-wall bit of speculation.And then wade through the rest! Thank you to all the contributors to our conversations; please remember it was Nick, not John, who decided not to use your idea. Hallmarked Man Names and Part One ring-charting later this week — stay tuned!Links to Reader Ideas and Theories from the HogPro Comment Threads1. J. S. Maleksen: ‘Dirty Bomb Charlotte:' Ryan Murphy Killed CharlotteThank you for discussing my first Running Grave RFM comments.As you may have noticed, my theory is a bit of a work in progress. In keeping with the Hogwarts Professor/ Rowling Studies standards, I am striving to put it all together and set forth a textual basis for my contention that the relapsing, unstable RFM we see in the later parts of RG and all of HM is the dirty bomb left by Charlotte with the intent of exacting revenge on Robin and Strike.In RG, after listening to a portion of Charlotte's final 3 voicemail messages, Strike frets about the possibility that Charlotte will seek out RFM and spin a web of lies to him. He expresses concern in his inner monologue that RFM would have no loyalty to Strike and that RFM could use the information to turn Robin against him.Understanding that I may be in nutter drawer/Gateshead territory and mindful that I am diverging from my original post slightly, I contend that RFM met up with Charlotte at some point, maybe in the month or two, before she died. She used McCabes (the agency she hired to get dirt on Jago in IBH) to get info on Robin, discovered RFM, contacted him seduced him, and filled his head with lies about Strike and Robin.On the night Charlotte dies, RFM is there. They are drinking together. They get into a fight. She assaults him (like she assaulted Strike and Dormer) and because ‘he is mean and aggressive when he gets drunk' (yes this is where this line from Wardle in RG becomes relevant) he hits her back, they fight, and she dies. He makes the murder look like a suicide, writes a suicide note that is based on the information she has given him about Strike and her family and her kids. There is nothing in the suicide note about Strike being in love with Robin. Remember, the only evidence that this appears in the note is Strike's egotistical presumption that is based solely on Strike's conjecture.RFM uses his position at the Met to make sure the final determination is suicide.The guilt and self-loathing he feels thereafter causes him to spend as much time as possible in Spain (rather than taking the earlier flight to see Robin after she escapes from Chapman Farm.) It also causes him to declare his love for Robin on his first night back with her. He's drinking and unraveling and he thinks if he can make it work with Robin and rescue her from an abusive Strike, it will make up for the fact that he committed murder.This also explains his mistakes in the gang shooting case, including roughing up a suspect and all of the descriptions of him being overly stressed and exhausted including on the night he got Robin pregnant.This is the thought process that led me to post under Nick's ‘Charlotte was Murdered' thread. It just took me a little longer to articulate it.Once again, thanks to both of you for all of the fine work you do.* Catherine: Strike 9 will be about Strike searching to find Lost Robin/Psyche3.

Fast alle Menschen schieben Aufgaben auf, obwohl sie wichtig sind – im beruflichen Umfeld genauso wie im Privatleben. Warum tun wir das, obwohl wir wissen, dass es uns später stresst? In dieser Folge spricht Moderator Ralf Podszus mit dem psychologischen Psychotherapeuten Hans-Werner Rückert über das Phänomen Prokrastination und darüber, was sich hinter dem vermeintlich harmlosen Aufschieben tatsächlich verbirgt. Hans-Werner Rückert erklärt, worin sich Prokrastination von Faulheit unterscheidet, welche Rolle Persönlichkeitsmerkmale, Perfektionismus oder Reaktanz spielen und warum das Arbeitsumfeld entscheidend sein kann. Mit klaren Worten und vielen Beispielen zeigt er, wann Aufschieben zur Belastung wird, und welche konkreten Strategien helfen, ins Tun zu kommen. Ob Mitarbeitende, Studierende, Führungskräfte oder Menschen mit „Aufschieberitis“ im Alltag: Diese Folge liefert psychologische Einblicke, praktische Tipps und Denkanstöße für mehr Gelassenheit und Handlungsfähigkeit.

When Running Grave was published, John Granger charted each Part's chapter sets, the Book-as-a-Whole, and then the Book as the concluding novel of a seven book series. It took him weeks and weeks, it yielded astonishing revelations via Rowling-Galbraith's structural artistry, and… it was a rather joyless affair. No one joined him in the process to verify or discount via a separate but simultaneous reading what he found, no one learned how to do it while looking over his shoulder, and very few appreciated what it was all about. Fast forward to September 2025 and the publication of Hallmarked Man. Nick Jeffery and John had collaborated in a month-long Lake-and-Shed reading marathon of everything Rowling had written as well as the Golden Threads running through all her work. They were looking for a new Special Project they could offer the growing list of Paid Subscribers in addition to the weekly conversations and articles they posted for all comers. Why not do a series of posts only the most Serious Strikers would be interested in, a full-on charting of Strike 8?John has posted three Ring Composition throat-clearing exercises complete with video and transcripts — the Heart of Ring Composition, the Mechanics and Mystery of Ring Composition, and a Case Study in Reading a Strike Novel Ring (Career of Evil) — to warm up the niche audience for this adventure. In the conversation above, Nick and John lay out their hopes for this series, namely, that participants will leave with:* an adamantine grasp of what charting a book involves (chapter notes, latch, turn, and t-back lines with explanations);* a clockworks understanding of Strike 8 ‘structural artistry, * charts they've drawn of the Parts' chapter sets as well as the Whole Book; and, most important,* a Ring Reading Skill Set to be deployed on classic novels as well as contemporary favorites, an essential for those who love to read and re-read the Greats, alive and dead.We'll start with Part One next week; there's a blank ring below for you to give it a shot and John's first draft to compare and contrast with your findings.This kind of thing is not for everyone, of course, so most of what goes on here is for all subscribers. Nick and John will be posting about the Hallmarked Man's new names, Browning's The Ring and the Book (a big part of Strike 8's epigraphs), more on the Cupid and Psyche backdrop to the series (it solves some of Robin's most mysterious behaviors, believe it or not!), and the hidden-in-plain-sight Rowling favorite author and book imbedded in her latest work (no hints!). That's in addition, again, to Nick and John's discussions of the theories and insights of HogPro readers, the alchemy, Who Moved the Stone?, the Masonic Symbolism, and the book they rushed to overlook, Maid of the Silver Sea.It's a great time to be a Rowling Reader — and to be either a paid or free subscriber to Hogwarts Professor!

Send us a textIn the 1890s, Dr. H.H. Holmes became famous for being America's 1st Serial Killer, even though he technically wasn't the first. He's also famous for building a murder castle in Chicago, where he reportedly murdered over a hundred victims with torture devices, secret gas chambers, and a secret crematorium. But what really happened in Holmes' murder castle? Today, we're going to talk about H.H.

In dieser Folge des Podcasts „Kopfsalat“ von Freunde fürs Leben e.V. spricht Moderator Sven Haeusler mit der Journalistin und HateAid-Mitgründerin Anna-Lena von Hodenberg über digitale Gewalt. Sie erklärt, dass unsere Psyche nicht zwischen analoger und digitaler Gewalterfahrung unterscheidet und Hass im Netz real belastet, körperlich wie mental. Besonders Jugendliche seien gefährdet, weil ihnen oft Distanz und Abgrenzung fehlten. Kurzbeschreibung: Die Organisation HateAid unterstützt Betroffene mit Beratung, Beweissicherung und Prozesskostenhilfe und setzt sich dafür ein, dass Plattformen nicht länger Hass und Desinformation verstärken. Anna-Lena von Hodenberg betont, wie wichtig es ist, Vorfälle ernst zu nehmen, nicht allein zu bleiben und illegale Inhalte zu melden. Auch Außenstehende können helfen, indem sie Betroffenen öffentlich den Rücken stärken. Die sechste Staffel wird gefördert durch die Deutsche DepressionsLiga e.V. und die DAK Gesundheit.

What is the true vow of your life, the one it would kill you to break?  This phrase comes from the poem 'All The True Vows' by David Whyte, but there can be no better introduction to this week's guest, who knows how to help people - ordinary, every-day people from our culture -  build true, heart-felt connections with the web of life such that we come to know what we are here for, our unique gift to the world, the promise is would kill us to break, what it feels like to be so heart-explodingly in love with the sheer wonder of being alive that we can step out of the world we thought we knew, into the world as it really is, alive with connection to all parts of ourselves, each other and the whole of the more than human world. Bill Plotkin is one of those who has found what he's here for. He's been a Thrutopian activist and cultural catalyst since long before those were buzzwords in our firmament.  Over the years, he has been a research psychologist, professor of psychology, psychotherapist, rock musician, and whitewater river guide. Now, I would say he is a visionary, a mystic and an elder. More importantly, he's a map-maker, a way-breaker, a trail-leader of the routes we will have to take to walk out of this moment of dissolution, into a world of remembering and creating anew. Back in the early 80s, Bill founded the Animas Valley Institute, whose central purpose is to assist people through the initiatory process that leads to visionary leadership and cultural artistry. Its primary work is with those ready to undergo the joys and challenges of the underworld descent to soul, which flowers into a life of meaningful service and abundant fulfilment — or a deepening for those already on the journey.In other words, Animas Valley Institute supports people in our culture to find what they're here for, to undergo, in his words, the journey of soul initiation. To embark on this journey requires that people break out of the perpetual early adolescence of modernity and endure the ecstatic initiations of late adolescence and that eventually result in true adulthood and perhaps, for a few, genuine elderhood. Bill offers maps and models for his work in depth and detail. He has four books to date and I encourage you to read them all in order from Soulcraft: Crossing into the Mysteries of Nature and Psyche, through Nature and the Human Soul, to Wild Mind and finally, The Journey of Soul Initiation.  He writes a blog, Soulcraft Musings, which I also recommend, because we could have explored the basics of Bill's models of human evolution and what it means for people of our culture, who have been subject to what he calls 'systemic human developmental oppression' for many hundreds of generations… and in the long conversation that follows, we did explore the basics of this, but in the days before recording, Bill shared the early draft of a paper called 'A Map to the Next World' and this lit all kinds of fires in my heart and mind and soul—because Bill's capacity to write lucidly the things this podcast is all about  is beautiful and sharp and perfect.  He writes: 'We need a map to the next world because our current world is clearly in its death throes…We need a map to the next world, a way to navigate the long trail from here to cultures that we will be proud to leave for the future ones — of all species. And nature, as always, including human nature, provides this map, or at least templates for creating one. And we need to translate the map into a contemporary language that we can understand — and act on — even though the journey is necessarily through realms of great mystery. We won't find our way using the maps of other peoples or of other times.

In unserer Rubrik "Mythos oder Wahrheit" klären wir: Sind Männer öfter farbenblind als Frauen? Ständig unter Strom, keine Ruhe, der Körper immer auf „Alarm“ – so fühlen sich viele, wenn Stress zur Routine wird. Das Nervensystem gerät aus der Balance. In einigen Städten gibt es dafür mittlerweile ganze Kurse mit Namen wie „Nervous System Regulation“. Sie versprechen, durch Atmung, Bewegung oder sanftes Schütteln das innere Gleichgewicht wiederzufinden. Doch was heißt es eigentlich, das Nervensystem zu regulieren? Welche Rolle spielen Sympathikus und Parasympathikus? Und kann man das wirklich lernen? In dieser Folge von „Aha! Zehn Minuten Alltagswissen“ geht es um die Frage, wie unser vegetatives Nervensystem arbeitet, was Dauerstress mit ihm macht – und wie wir lernen können, den Körper gezielt zu beruhigen. Zu Gast ist Psychoneuroimmunologin Prof. Dr. Eva Peters vom Universitätsklinikum Gießen. Sie erforscht, wie Psyche, Nerven- und Immunsystem ineinandergreifen – und was passiert, wenn dieses Zusammenspiel aus der Balance gerät. Das Buch von Prof. Dr. Eva Peters "Stress verstehen.

In this flipped episode, Brendan Graham Dempsey interviews Jim about the ideas in his recent Substack essays "A Minimum Viable Metaphysics" and "What I Mean by 'Metaphysics'." They discuss metaphysics as assumptions for learning and reasoning, the difference between deduction, induction, & abduction, Jim's belief that there are no paradoxes in the real world, the reality principle, the asymmetry principle, the lawfulness principle, the potential stochastic nature of reality, why determinism and lawfulness aren't the same, consciousness in the tree of emergence, why emergence is important, causal time, downward causality as the main claim of emergence, temporal reciprocal emergence, Jim's reputation for drawing a firearm when the word metaphysics is used, the weak & strong anthropic principles, and much more.

Charles Schwab's Nate Peterson takes a look back at last week's price action to explain the moves we're seeing this week. He attributes the weakness to a hawkish interest rate cut from the Fed, a change in A.I. spending perspective seen in Meta Platforms (META), and selling reaction to Palantir's (PLTR) "stellar" earnings indicating a change in psyche for markets. Nate adds that the massive run higher in A.I. stocks only add to upside pressure.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Nick Jeffery and John Granger do a Compare and Contrast test of the latest Cormoran Strike novel, The Hallmarked Man, and the previous seven books in Rowling-Galbraith's longest series of novels. Adapting a list of ‘Greatest Hits' moments from the first ‘Reading, Writing, Rowling' podcast John did with Katie McDaniel and a panel of Potter Pundits in Roanoke, Virginia, Nick and John share their favorite moments first from the series and then from Strike 8 before contrasting the quality of these highlights.The point of the exercise? Besides being a fun review of Strike-Ellacott adventures, a Greatest Hits collection of their highs and lows, Agency cases and sub-contractors included, the absence of any Hallmarked Man moments that merit a ‘Best in Series' badge suggests that Strike 8 will be remembered best for how it set up Strikes 9 and 10.Whatever your thoughts about that thesis, please share the scenes on your Greatest Hits list, both for the series and Hallmarked Man, per the numbered categories below. Nick and John have a few more to run through that they couldn't get to on their first ‘go' at this; feel free to share categories they should discuss in addition to the ones listed here:* Top Strike-Ellacott Moments* Ellacott taking care of wrecked Strike* Strike taking care of wrecked Ellacott* The Two having a frank conversation about the Agency, their vocation* The Two having a frank conversation about life and their relationship* Top Mystery Reveal* Top Agency Subcontractor moment* Top Agency case not the focus of the novel* Top Strike Confront-the-Killer moment,* Top “Magical” Moment (heart-rending/opening)* Top Moment-that-We-didn't-know-was-a-Moment-until-later* Top Saving People MomentJohn is working on his charting of Hallmarked Man for the paid subscriber list as well as reviewing and revising his 2017 online course, ‘Wizard Reading Formula.' More on those projects and the Kanreki Series in his next conversation with Nick; stay tuned!Links to Ideas, Posts, and Theories Mentioned* Roanoke ‘Reading, Writing, Rowling' Harry Potter Review[‘reading, Writing, Rowling's] first episode was recorded at CoLab in Roanoke, Virginia, at the May 2017 Roanoke Harry Potter Fest and celebrates 20 years of Harry Potter. Listen to a stellar crew of Hogwarts professors discuss [with hosts John Granger and Katy McDaniel] their favorite moments in the Harry Potter series, inspired by Bloomsbury Publishing's recent reader poll. Guests Louise Freeman, Elizabeth Baird Hardy, Emily Strand, and Lana Whited identify the best moments featuring the trio friendship, surprises and narrative misdirection, wizard magic, Snape, texts-within-the-text, and those inspirational messages that make the Harry Potter series profound and emotionally resonant to readers worldwide.* Rowling's Favorite Painting and What It Suggests about Her Artistry and Meaning: Caravaggio's ‘Supper at Emmaus'Professor Groves suggests strongly that what Rowling took away from her “mesmerised” “slow mining” of Caravaggio's Supper at Emmaus was the central Mystery of the Incarnation of Christ, the “guiler beguiled” idea of Aulen's Christus Victor. I find that argument compelling and want to build on it. There are embedded symbols in Supper at Emmaus that I think the fascinated Rowling would have noticed as she looked at the painting in the National Gallery, at the print on her wall in Exeter and London, and at the image on her first website, symbols beyond the “realism” of the Christ as imagined by Caravaggio and the revelation at the breaking of bread of His divinity.* Robin is Sterile Prediction: Chlamydia to Ectopic Pregnancy (December 2023)The thesis of this Hogwarts Professor essay — what I hope will be the subject of our second ‘Rowling Studies' podcast here — is that Robin Venetia Ellacott will not have children with Murphy, Strike, or any other partner, because she cannot, at least not without some extraordinary efforts via in vitro conception and surrogacy. I will attempt to explain how this infertility is possible, to detail the ‘Lake' suggestions from Rowling's life and personal experience that shows she is more than familiar with this condition among women, and to share the ‘Shed' literary markers in Running Grave and Rowling's other novels that this is indeed what she has in mind for Strike's partner Robin.Means Before Motive: How is it Possible that Robin is Sterile?In a word, “Chlamydia.”* The Hallmarked Man's Mythological Template ‘Cupid and Psyche's importance for grasping the depths of Strike 8, from the “necessity” of the Silver Vault and the three men in Robin's life, to spaghetti carbonara and ‘Maid of the Silver Sea' (links list to previous posts, 2021-present on this subject)* Charlotte Was Murdered, Mate; It Wasn't a Suicide* The Strange Death of Charlotte Campbell: Could the Psycho-Ex be the Focus of a Murder Investigation in Strike 8? (Nick Jeffery, November 2023)* Strike8: The Charlotte Campbell Murder Mystery: Nick Jeffery's Idea Checks a Lot of Boxes (John Granger, November 2023)* The Mysterious Death of Charlotte Campbell: Was It Suicide or Was It Murder? The ‘Rowling Studies' Pilot Episode (December 2023)* J. S. Maleksen's Re-read of Running Grave in Search of Ryan MurphyAfter reading HM twice, I re-read ‘Running Grave' with this theory in mind. It occurred to me that RFM might have read Charlotte's suicide note because it was in the police file. He might have even read through statements made by Charlotte's family members about Charlotte's relationship with Strike. At the very least, he would have read that Strike was in love with Robin and may have even bought into the ‘Strike was abusive to Charlotte' narrative and the ‘Strike has been in a romantic relationship with Robin since he broke up with Charlotte' narrative. This would explain why RFM is significantly more chippy towards Strike after Robin returns from Chapman Farm than he was at the beginning of ‘Running Grave.' Come to think of it, if Nick's theory is right and the suicide was a murder, it's quite possible that RFM may have been the lead investigator because, as we now know, he kinda sucks at his job. RFM would have had no reason to disclose any of this information to Robin because “she gets ratty every time he says anything against Strike.” Details identifying the investigating officer may not have been published. Alternatively, Iverson could have been the investigating officer and she could have shared this information with RFM and RFM can't tell Robin how he got the information because he had a fling with Iverson while Robin was at Chapman Farm.This might lead to an explanation as to why/how RFM fell off the wagon (guilt about having cheated on Robin and/or fear that Robin hasn't been honest about her relationship with Strike and/or his perception that Robin is being cowed by an abusive Strike)It makes sense to me that the period of time when Robin was at Chapman Farm is the most plausible and likely spot for JKR to have buried details about RFM, and his true character and motivations. The story as told from Robin and Strike's respective points of view intentionally distracted us from what RFM was up to during Robin's time at Chapman Farm. Indeed, he was often an afterthought of Robin's if she even thought about him at all.Incidentally, this makes the ‘RFM as gorilla man theory' more plausible because walking around with all of this information in his head could have motivated RFM to take extreme measures to get Robin to abandon Strike and the agency.I love your Substack and Podcast.

Brendan Graham Dempsey is a metatheory researcher at the Institute of Applied Metatheory and host of the Metamodern Meaning podcast. His work bridges evolutionary theory, developmental psychology, and worldview studies, bringing empirical rigour to questions about how human consciousness and culture evolve. His latest book, Psyche and Symbolic Learning, is the second in a planned ten-volume series exploring these themes through the lens of hierarchical complexity and neo-Piagetian developmental frameworks. You can find Brendan's work at: Metamodern Meaning podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@BrendanGrahamDempsey Brendan's Substack: https://brendangrahamdempsey.substack.com/ Brendan's website: https://www.brendangrahamdempsey.com/ Our previous chats: Philosophy Wisdom and MetamodernismCritiquing MetamodernismIn this conversation, Brendan introduces me to the ambitious world of metatheory – an attempt to create a unified, coherent understanding of all human knowledge by bridging disciplines from neuroscience to sociology to the humanities. We explore his new role researching worldviews empirically at the Institute of Applied Metatheory, where he's working to bring scientific rigour to questions that have long been speculative: Can we measure the complexity of worldviews? Do cultures develop through predictable stages? How complex is the Bible compared to Homer, or a text message to your mam? We dive deep into hierarchical complexity, a psychological framework that quantifies the sophistication of thinking across domains and time periods. Brendan shares fascinating research comparing the cognitive complexity of ancient religious texts, from early biblical narratives to the Epic of Gilgamesh, revealing how literacy transforms meaning-making structures. We discuss the difference between metatheory and interdisciplinary work, why spiral dynamics isn't quite a metatheory, and how this research programme aims to give metamodernism and integral theory the empirical grounding they've long needed. This is a conversation for those curious about the big questions: How does all human knowledge fit together? Can we study worldviews scientifically?

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.

Modern culture often tells us to express every feeling freely, regardless of the consequences or how our emotions might affect others. In contrast, the Puritan mindset teaches that emotions are dangerous and should be suppressed or ignored while we simply push through life. As parents, which of these extremes should we encourage in our children?Dr. Suzanne Baars joins us to share insights drawn from a lifetime of mentorship under her father, Dr. Conrad Baars, a survivor of a Nazi concentration camp and the pioneer of Affirmation Therapy. This approach reimagines psychology through the moral framework of Saint Thomas Aquinas, emphasizing that our emotions are valuable signals of our inner state. Rather than being dismissed or indulged, emotions should be understood, respected, and expressed appropriately.Affirmation Therapy offers a balanced middle ground between emotional repression and unchecked expression. In this conversation, Dr. Baars explains how parents can affirm their children and guide them toward emotional maturity, helping them grow into healthy, happy, and secure adults. Her practical wisdom provides clear steps you can begin using today to foster emotional confidence in your little ones.Join our new Patreon community! https://patreon.com/lilaroseshow - We'll have BTS footage, ad-free episodes, and early access to our upcoming guests.A big thanks to our partner, EWTN, the world's leading Catholic network!

I this episode, Britten welcomes back astrologer Sabrina Monarch to discuss what the term LIVING EMERGENCE means. They delve into themes of natural changes, societal constructs, and aging, while examining how erotic energy can be present and cultivated in all aspects of life. Sabrina shares the myth of Eros and Psyche, exploring how the story symbolizes the human struggle with intense desire and the erotic. They discuss the interconnectedness of abundance and erotic pathways. And they explore how managing life force energy requires learning to balance and integrate it without suppression, acknowledging the individual and collective need for more open discussions about sexual energy and its appropriate expression. Enjoy! Tune into Britten and Sabrina's previous episodes on Pluto and the Nodes as well as Unshaming the Second House. Sabrina Monarch guides people into a felt-sense of astrology and an embodied life of soul within an intelligent, sentient, and enchanted cosmos. Her work arises from an enduring curiosity about what it means to be incarnate—serving those who long to surpass their limitations, expand, evolve, and ecstatically deepen into the pleasures available in every step of the journey. Rooted in over a decade of professional practice as an Evolutionary Astrologer, Sabrina's philosophy integrates spiritual depth with psychological insight and a reverence for wonder. +++ Join The 9 Boredoms of the Rightful Baddie mini-course - it''s FREE!

DREAM WITH US, and we'll teach you how to interpret them!⁠⁠The new controversial Netflix series MONSTER: The Ed Gein Story offers a window into the devouring mother archetype, a transformation fantasy gone horribly wrong, and the human capacity for monstrous behavior. Gein's crimes inspired the Hitchcock movie Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Silence of the Lambs. It challenges the audience to confront its fascination with evil and begs the question, where do the monsters hide in our own Psyche? To help us wrestle with these questions, we're joined by Joey Pollari—actor, musician, director, editor, and the man who plays Anthony Perkins in the show. We'll explore how intimacy with darkness affects a performer, how public persona and private pain intersect, and why we continue watching when the camera reveals what we'd rather not know.

In this episode of Gatherings, we unpack the enduring power of the vampire archetype. We trace its evolution from the gothic shadows of Dracula to today's romanticized immortal figures, revealing how the vampire reflects the repressed, unintegrated, and wounded parts of the psyche. Drawing on insights from Marion Woodman and Michael Singer, we explore the vampire as a symbol of psychic energy turned inward—what happens when life force becomes blocked or possessed by the shadow. We also situate the myth in its social context, connecting its late-Victorian rise to cultural fears around feminism, sexuality, and capitalism. The conversation closes by asking why our current moment is again obsessed with the vampire and what this collective fascination might tell us about trauma, desire, and the hunger for aliveness.

She swung by Imperfectionist Towers to share her knowledge and help troubleshoot your productivity woes.

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DREAM WITH US, and we'll teach you how to interpret them!People Pleasing is a compulsive strategy that disavows your needs and surrenders your agency. It begins in family systems that only reward compliance, which produces a false self. If your soul is constantly devalued, you may develop dependent narcissism with a covert contract: “I'll keep you happy, and you'll keep me safe.” Healing comes when you identify your true experience—notice whether you feel drained, tense, or obligated versus calm, interested, or genuinely willing. Give yourself permission to pause before agreeing. Say, “I'll think about it,” step away to check in, rate how much you do or don't like the request, and give a clear yes/no. Say yes only when it aligns with your values and can be revised; a yes aimed at managing someone else's mood or bolstering your self-worth is unhealthy and requires deeper work. Growth requires inner authority and the courage to be disliked so that your choices follow Psyche rather than external approval.Read along with the dream HERE.⁠⁠Find the books we reference ⁠here⁠.LOOK & GROW⁠⁠⁠⁠Join THIS JUNGIAN LIFE DREAM SCHOOL⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Do you have a topic you want us to cover?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WE NEED YOUR HELP!
