For centuries, Rome’s most powerful leaders turned to forbidden prophecies locked away in sacred books that could never be read by ordinary citizens. These mysterious texts - the Sibylline Books - allegedly contained divine wisdom delivered by ancient prophetesses driven mad by their visions.

From medicine to mysticism: the radicalization of Florida's top doc
Joseph Ladapo was a normie—until he met his wife and a guru into levitating and communicating with spirits.
Florida’s surgeon general’s anti-vax beliefs are only the tip of a very deeply weird iceberg.
Joseph Ladapo’s guiding voice? His wife, who believes she can talk to “Archangel Michael, Mary Magdalene, and many other beings of light.”

Embracing the Divine Feminine, Darkness and All
by Kavitha Chinnaiyan
The Mahavidyas’ singular fierceness, their disheveled, naked bodies, lolling tongues, garlands made of skulls, and violent imagery cut through any binding concepts we may have of the divine feminine. Hidden in their iconography are the secrets of both the concealment and discovery of our divinity.

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.
But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.
