Hello from Cusco, where the streets are laid out like a puma and hawkers offer massages on every corner. I've been thinking about Huáscar, the last true Sapa Inca, who willingly took sacred knowledge into the underworld until the time was right for its return. What if the strange convergence we're witnessing - the grimoire revival, the sudden value of grandmother's recipes, and yes, even the rise of what I'm calling "orthodank" online - are all manifestations of the same archetypal energy? Things coming up from below, returning from the shadows at this precise moment in time. The question is: which returns will we embrace? Chapters The Temple City of Cusco - Exploring the ancient capital and how authentic experience lurks just beneath tourist traps The Tale of Two Brothers - The story of Waskar and Atahualpa, the civil war that weakened the Inca Empire, and how Waskar preserved sacred knowledge Three Stories of Waskar's Fate - Drowning, beheading, or escape: tracing the different narratives through history and oral tradition The Return of Waskar in the 90s - Alberto Violdo's observations and the rising indigenous pride in Peru The Fortean Dominant - How things pushed into the underworld are returning in our time Conservative Returns - The relationship between rising conservatism and the return of things worth conserving Grandmother's Foods - How millennials became the generation that values heritage foods and traditional ways Magic's Return - The grimoire revival and the return of ancestral magical knowledge Shadow and Integration - How to navigate the darker aspects of what returns from the underworld

Three Stories on Equity by Rev. Justin M. McCreary Sunday, February 9th, 2025

Week 2 of the sermon seriesLesson text: Genesis 37, Matthew 26Rewatch this week's service here.

A perfect gift for the end of Christmas week … makes me cry even reading the transcript.

It's beginning to look a lot like a holiday break with Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and festive fixtures in the Barclays Premiership. Until then, there's still some business to attend to such as a sonic recap of stories from last week in this podcast edition of Charlottesville Community Engagement. I'm Sean Tubbs, always interested in finding new ways to get the information out.On this penultimate edition for 2024:* Governor Glenn Youngkin recommends $1.1 billion fund to cover car tax credit as part of his suggested amendments to Virginia's budget (learn more)* Charlottesville City Council is briefed on increasing costs for public safety and transit (learn more)* Charlottesville Planning Commission seeks more funding for affordable housing, planning for schools (learn more* The City of Charlottesville has completed a section of sidewalk on Monticello Avenue (learn more)* Sanders addresses low-barrier shelter before Council approves $3 million for other Salvation Army project (learn more)* UVA's non-voting member of the city Planning Commission gives an update on capital projects for Charlottesville Planning Commission (learn more)* UVA Health Children's and Sentara Martha Jefferson have opened a new clinic for children behavioral and mental health (learn more)While most items in this newsletter feed are text-only, every so often there's an audio version. Sign up to get both! Consume what you can! First shout-out: Celebrating the community's other information organizations!In today's second shout-out in the form of a house ad, I want to make sure everyone knows that every edition of the regular newsletter (not the podcast ones) ends with a section called Reading Material. Charlottesville Community Engagement is just one offering in a landscape that includes the Charlottesville Daily Progress, C-Ville Weekly, Charlottesville Tomorrow, and Cville Right Now, I curate links from these sources because I believe a truly informed community needs multiple perspectives.There's also the Cavalier Daily, Vinegar Hill Magazine, the Fluvanna Review, the Crozet Gazette, NBC29, CBS19, and other sources. But if you look every day, you'll find links to articles in national publications, all linked to give you more perspectives on some of the issues of our times.Second shout-out: Cvillepedia!Cvillepedia is an online encyclopedia that anyone can edit, and this second shout-out today is to provide a little bit about what I know. I helped create the website back in the late 2000's as a way of keeping track of all of the stories being written for the nonprofit news organization I worked for at the time.Now Cvillepedia is hosted by the Jefferson-Madison Regional Library under the stewardship of the Albemarle Charlottesville Historical Society. There are over 6,500 articles and we need volunteers to help keep it up to date and to capture more of this community's history, present, and future.If you want to learn how to do research, learn how to explore historical documents, and want some experience writing, consider becoming a volunteer. As a little teaser, here's some of what's listed for December 23 throughout the years:Events* 1914 – Fire breaks out at Albemarle Hardware Company on East Main Street and takes seven hours to extinguish [1]* 2062 – A time capsule buried in 2012 will be unearthed to celebrate Charlottesville's 300th Anniversary.[2]Births* 1895 – Alfred Washington is born to Gus and Martha Washington in Charlottesville. A resident of Chestnut Grove and a farmhand, he was called up for service in World War I and had his portrait photograph included within the Holsinger Studio Collection.References* ↑ Web.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of Fallingwater's listing the in the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. The State Museum of Pennsylvania has an exhibit honoring the place that held so much significance. According to Dr. Curt Miner, the Chief of Interpretation and Senior History Curator for the State Museum of Pennsylvania, the exhibit will be on display until January 5, 2025. "One of the things that we did in the course of researching this project is come across what I think is an absolutely fascinating fact. I believe it would be, which is that falling water in surveys is often ranked as the most recognized private residence in the world. Let that sit in for a little bit in the world. This building, this house that was built by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1938 for Edgar J. Kaufmann, who was, by the way, a department store magnate from Pittsburgh, has been heralded as the most recognized and most famous private residence in the world. And where is it? It's in Pennsylvania. It's in the small town of Mill Run, which is in in Fayette County in southwestern Pennsylvania." Dr. Miner also highlighted "A Place for All Exhibit. This exhibition tells the history of three integration efforts in Pennsylvania after World War II. These stories testify to the courage of those who sought to end racial segregation in all of its forms. "The subtitle of that exhibit is "Three Stories of Integration in Pennsylvania." The  genesis of that exhibit actually goes back two decades. We had a curator on staff. His name was Eric Ledell Smith. He was a specialist in African-American history. And he came up with an idea for us and it presented to the curatorial staff and to the museum eventually. And he said, I think we need to tell the story of the civil rights movement in Pennsylvania. And his premise was that the  Civil Rights Movement is often thought to be the story that takes place in the American South. When you think of civil rights and the movement led by Martin Luther King and others, you think of places like Little Rock, Arkansas, Birmingham, Alabama, Greensboro, North Carolina. You don't think about places like Levittown, Pennsylvania, and Bucks County or Girard College in North Philadelphia, or the Highland Park swimming pool in Pittsburgh. And yet, Eric argued correctly, Those were all places where the struggle for racial equality in the north took place. It was simply the idea that racial discrimination, and segregation did not stop at the Mason-Dixon Line. It went North even in places like Pennsylvania."Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's episode is different from anything we've ever done. Instead of an interview, we have three audio pieces about what you could call the spirituality of everyday life. What are the things we do to find meaning and purpose within the daily grind? First, host Mike Jordan Laskey tells you about his “kindie rock” band, Down By The Bagel. Then, New York-based writer Kaitlin Campbell shares “You Can Do This,” a story about a big case of writer's block and her prayer for God to just show her a sign already. Finally, Steve Givens, an author and spiritual director from St. Louis, has a piece about how an imaginary baseball game he played as a kid shaped his spiritual life in ways he only would come to realize decades later. If you'd like to submit us your own proposal for some creative work, check out our pitch guide at JesuitMediaLab.org.

In Charleston, West Virginia, there's a monthly live storytelling event called “Three Things” that invites three highly-visible members of the community to talk about their careers. The guests are asked to follow a simple prompt: tell the audience about their First, their Favorite and their Future. Jeff Shirley, the producer and host of “Three Things,” says the freewheeling format “guarantees that we will get three unique approaches to the task from all of our guests.” It also allows the public a unique and barrier-breaking glimpse into the lives of people they may think they already know. On this episode of Us & Them, host Trey Kay shares a part of his story you might not know about, as does Valicia Leary, executive director of the Children's Therapy Clinic, and Maurice Cohn, music director of the West Virginia Symphony Orchestra.

The flash stories in Canadian author Hollay Ghadery's debut collection Widow Fantasies are like portrait miniatures, capturing essential moments in the lives of each character with laser-like focus and clarity.

French documentary film director, journalist, and bestselling author Colombe Schneck joins Zibby to discuss SWIMMING IN PARIS, the Natalie Portman Book Club Pick and a brilliantly written, searingly intimate piece of biographical fiction about a woman experiencing all of life: friendships, love, sex, abortion, and swimming. Colombe shares why she finally felt compelled to write about her abortion in a burst of raw emotion after decades of silence. She also touches on the trauma carried by her Holocaust-survivor parents, the realities of growing up in a liberal Parisian environment, the death of a close childhood friend, a painful breakup, and the solace she found in swimming.  Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/46BbMrsShare, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!

Good morning and welcome to the July 27, 2024 edition of Charlottesville Community Engagement. Today is the National Day of the Cowboy, something officially sanctioned by the General Assembly in 2015. Nothing in this edition pertains to that, but somehow this ended up in the show notes anyway.In this edition: * Habitat for Humanity will make a counter-offer of at least $7 million to purchase the Carlton Mobile Home Park in Charlottesville* The Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission agrees to pursue another round of funding for rural housing presentation * The Albemarle Planning Commission recommends approval of a rezoning for up to 165 units at 1193 Seminole Trail just north of the Charlottesville border* Elected bodies in both Albemarle and Charlottesville are briefed on changes to the budget process that funds nonprofit agencies who provide services to help humans in need * New legislation now allows some appointed bodies in Virginia to meet virtually more often* The TJDPC also receives additional funding from Virginia for broadband expansion * A local store that specializes in the creative reuse of art supplies joins a regional collective to promote the practiceShow notes for CCE-710AIf you listen carefully, this is the show that went out on WTJU this morning at 6 a.m. Ordinarily I would swap out the introduction, but I really want to take a break from audio production after yesterday. Sometimes this will happen. This is the 19th edition of the podcast that has aired on WTJU and since that time I've made a lot of changes to my process. But this is not one of the days I want to write about it extensively as there's other things I want to do today. So, thanks for listening if you did, and if you didn't, I recommend it. My career had an early start in public radio and I opted to go a different route and here we are. Now it is time to get to work on the new set of stories! This is a public episode.

In this episode, we'll hear three beautiful stories from men who overcame deep hardship and depression through the love of their dogs. 

Sunday, July 14, 2024 - Daniel Ausbun preaching from Luke 15:1-32

Mares and Jen have enjoyed playing  a game of luck called “Underground Roulette.”  The game is easy to play. Just select a tube stop at random, keep a curious mind, and hit the streets!  It's an engaging way to get a sense of place and all that the city offers. But, what if we could add the dimension of time, seeing not only the neighborhood as it is, but as it was?In this episode, we explore the underground stops with stories involving the theme of luck. London: a city where fame and fortune may await, given talent, drive, privilege, connections, and sometimes it comes down to luck. Our three stories feature: horseshoes, normally associated with good luck, but not this time,counteracting the bad luck of the number 13, and, when what seems like bad luck can be the best fortune yet. Along the way, we'll visit an iconic location synonymous with luxury and spend time with some of the most famous people in modern history.  Follow along on our SHOW NOTES. You'll find photos, recordings, sources, and ways to find us. Enjoy playing Underground Roulette. With a little luck, you'll have a lot of fun!

Discovering Your True Story with GodHERE'S HOW:Let's take a moment today to pray and invite God to show us our true selves. In Psalm 139:23-24, the psalmist prays, "Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting." This can be our prayer too, as we seek to align our lives with God's story for us.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.

We have a different type of episode today. Normally, we'd be hearing from someone who survived an animal attack, or was in a plane crash, or won lots of money on a TV game show. At the moment we have more than 170 episodes like that. But sometimes I end up with stories that are not quite long enough for a full episode. But they're just too good not to use. So today, you're about to hear three stories. The first one and the last one are just the storyteller talking. The story in between is a conversation I had with the guest, and he talks about what happened. And of course to end the episode we'll have our Listener Story. So I hope you enjoy this 3-story episode. Full show notes and pictures for this episode are here: https://WhatWasThatLike.com/179 Graphics for this episode were created by Bob Bretz.

Love grottos, undead apocalypse, and strutting as a cobra man. This episode has it all! Plus, a little about quickfort!

Sliders: "As Time Goes By"  We're revisiting this early episode of Gimmicks from 2022 with new commentary! First, David provides his thoughts on Sliders and Jerry O'Connell (famously NOT our favorite Slider), while Derek is still in awe that no network has tried to reboot it. Then, we present the original episode with Annie Fish, author of the Think of a Roulette Wheel blog, who joins to talk about this bizarre love story that stretches over three worlds and destroys at least one universe.

This bonus episode will support you to take the main insights from Episode 2, “The Three Stories of Our Time,” deeper into your life.  In Episode 2, we talked about the three stories of our time: Business as Usual, the Great Unraveling, and the Great Turning. All three stories are true, and we can choose to give ourselves to the Great Turning—to building a more just and life-sustaining society.  We need inspiring visions for the kind of world we want to live in that can motivate us, move us to action, and so that we know what it looks like to succeed. So, in this bonus episode, we're going to envision, in detail, what the world might be like if the Great Turning really were the predominant story of our time. All you need is a quiet place where you can sit and close your eyes. We hope you'll do this exercise with someone else, so that you can talk together about your experience after you finish. It might also help to have something to write with and on.  We recommend starting a podcast club with friends or family to do these practices together. Links and assets to help prompt reflection and build community can be found with every episode on WeAreTheGreatTurning.com. 

What's really going on in the world right now? “Business as Usual”—a comforting narrative in which industrial growth and progress overcomes all? “The Great Unraveling” —a planet careening toward inevitable destruction? Joanna‘s work introduces a third story, “The Great Turning”—a paradigm shift on an epic scale, the creation of a just and life-sustaining society. The stakes are high, the outcome uncertain. This conversation invites you to devote yourself to the Great Turning even as you grasp the truth in all three stories.  In this episode: Three outlooks on these times: Business as Usual, the Great Unraveling, and the Great Turning What's behind all three—how they affect us in conscious and unconscious ways What the Great Turning means, and how to devote yourself to it Bonus Exercise: Envisioning the Great Turning We recommend starting a podcast club with friends or family to do these practices together.

By Davy Crockett The “around the world on foot” craze of the 1890s was first dominated by Americans, but eventually spread to Europeans. Some very interesting individuals, mostly from Germany and France, appeared in New York City claiming to be making a global journey on foot. Most were usually highly educated and impressive. Why would someone leave their well-respected careers and endure the hardship of being on the road for months and years? But the biggest question is why the public and news press could believe in such a hoax. Well, some figured it out. Here are three stories that were followed in newspapers across America. In a way, this was their way of following a continuing reality show that was often printed on the front pages of newspapers. These three stories are among more than 60 included in my new book, Around the World on Foot: The Early Globetrotters. Three German Barons Some young men in New York City had an ingenious scheme to escape depression-induced poverty and get treated like royalty. On June 10, 1896, three men professing to be German officers took the city hall in New York City by surprise, when they came into the building dressed in military uniforms. They handed their cards to a policeman and explained who they were: Baron Otto Von Sarkmitzlaff, Baron Friedrich Ferdinand von Levetzow, and Baron Alexander von Kawezynski. Since they didn't speak English, an interpreter was promptly summoned. Through the interpreter, a story unfolded that they were German officers on a furlough and were walking around the world on foot for a secret wager. They wanted their travel book to be signed by Mayor William Lafayette Strong (1827-1900) “As they advanced toward the mayor, they saluted with their right hands.” The mayor signed the book, and the city seal was stamped in it. For an unknown reason, the three individuals were hesitant to sign their names in the city hall visitor's book. They also would not reveal their around the world route, except to state that they were going to “foot it” to San Francisco. Their next near-term destination was Albany, New York. The three had their skeptics and after they left the city, some were puzzled. “Friends of the trio are at a loss to account for their action at city hall, as two of the young noblemen have resided in New York for the last three years. What their object could have been in getting the mayor to sign a voucher for an alleged pedestrian trip around the world, no one seemed to be able to explain.” A week later, two of the “barons,” including a new one, were 180 miles to the west in Sunbury, Pennsylvania instead of going north to Albany. They now spoke English fluently and finally came up with a story. They claimed to have begun their journey from New York City with no money and were required to report to the mayor of New York within two years after going all the way around the world. Instead of being in uniforms, they were now dressed in $5 suits they had acquired from a pawnbroker. They said they could not ride on trains, but oddly could ride in farmer's wagons. As proof of their identity, they pointed out the New York seal in their book, signed by the mayor. They claimed that a year earlier in Berlin, Germany, they were in a café where some Americans were bragging about the U.S. Army's superiority. Levetzow then boasted that he could walk around the world, and a wager was established. After their visit to Sunbury, a man, Burgess Stern, let the city know that the two were frauds. “Stern claims that he has positive proof of the facts, as he saw them riding on the train cars, which they claimed they were not allowed to do and that they are two frauds who make it a business to fake people out of all they can.” Davenport, Iowa As the men arrived in cities, they would seek out any German immigrant populations, let them know they were barons, and would then be treated like royalty with the best room and board available.

This week Brent's holding court with three random stories he's been wanting to share for quite some time. The only problem was they just didn't fit any of his narratives. So, what does a storyteller do when confronted with adversity, they just tell a story. In this case it's three stories. “Three Stories That Just Didn't Fit” in Meateater's This Country Life podcast.  Connect with Brent and MeatEater MeatEater on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube Shop Bear Grease Merch https://gootf.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

July was almost certainly the hottest month, globally, on record. It was also a month in which many lives were upended by weather related-disasters — the sort of disasters that are increasingly likely as climate change continues. So what do the people who lived through those disasters make of all this? We asked Dr. Frank LoVecchio, an emergency room doctor at Valleywise Health Medical Center in Phoenix, Ariz., about trying to keep people alive who spent too much time out in the deadly heat.And Michelle Eddleman McCormick, general manager at the Marshfield Village Store in Vermont, about living through extreme flooding.And Will Nicholls, of the Cree Nation of Mistissini, editor-in-chief of The Nation magazine, about how historic wildfires in northern Quebec have affected his community.In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.Email us at considerthis@npr.org.
