  It has been famously pointed out that the Holy Roman Empire was neither holy, nor Roman, but it was also not an empire in the sense people expect when hearing the term. In theory, the emperor was the highest prince in Christendom, and his dominion extended the length and breadth of Western Europe. The empire had been created by the papacy when Pope Leo III famously crowned the supposedly unwitting Charlemagne in Saint Peter’s Basilica, intending to recreate the Western Roman Empire. In truth, the imperial power did not extend beyond central Europe, which by the beginning of the 16th century included Germany, northern Italy, and the Netherlands. Even in these lands, however, the emperor struggled to command obedience. His dominion over northern Italy was theoretical only, the cities of the Netherlands were deeply conscious of their ancient rights and privileges, and Germany had long ceased to be compliant. The latter had become a collection of principalities, dukedoms and bishoprics which vied with each other and pursued their own agendas. They were, however, united in only one sense: denying the emperor power and resisting attempts to centralize the government. 
  The clergy occupied a privileged place in medieval society. Europe had inherited Christianity from the Roman Empire, and the concept of a united Christendom and empire were practically synonymous. Indeed, there was no real consciousness of the Roman Empire ever having ended. After the Western Roman Empire collapsed in the late 5th century, the Germanic rulers of Western Europe continued to recognize the Eastern Emperor in Constantinople until Charlemagne, and after the dissolution of the Frankish Empire, the imperial seat was transferred to Otto I, King of East Francia in modern Germany. 
  By the late 10th century, however, the emperor’s reach was rarely felt beyond Germany and northern Italy, and the question of who was supposed to be the imperial head was unresolved.

  The Defiant Middle - How Women...

  For every woman, from the young to those in midlife and beyond, who has ever been told, "You can't" and thought, "Oh, I definitely will!"—this book is for you. 
   
   
   
  Women are expected to be many things. They should be young enough, but not too young; old enough, but not too old; creative, but not crazy; passionate, but not angry. They should be fertile and feminine and self-reliant, not barren or butch or solitary. Women, in other words, are caught between social expectations and a much more complicated reality. 
   
   
   
  Women who don't fit in, whether during life transitions or because of changes in their body, mind, or gender identity, are carving out new ways of being in and remaking the world. But this is nothing new: they have been doing so for thousands of years, often at the margins of the same religious traditions and cultures that created these limited ways of being for women in the first place. 
   
   
   
  In The Defiant Middle, Kaya Oakes draws on the wisdom of women mystics and explores how transitional eras or living in marginalized female identities can be both spiritually challenging and wonderfully freeing, ultimately resulting in a reinvented way of seeing the world and changing it.

  Pythagoras of Samos: The Life of...

  Ionia was one of the most important Greek settlements in Anatolia, and it was the home of Thales (626–548 BCE), an enterprising Greek philosopher, mathematician, and astronomer who is best known for predicting the 585 BCE solar eclipse, which brought an immediate halt to the fighting between the Lydians and Medes in modern-day Turkey. Anaximander of Miletus (610–546 BCE), an Ionian philosopher and student of Thales, pioneered a rational, non-mythological approach to astronomy by proposing a mechanical model of the cosmos. He introduced the Apeiron (the Limitless) as the fundamental, eternal source of all matter, from which all worlds are created and to which they return.  
  Pythagoras studied cosmology, geometry, and astronomy under Thales and his successor Anaximander, and by building on the legacies of their brilliant minds, Pythagoras refined and expanded upon their foundational concepts. However, he also went in a different direction, focusing on mysticism and numbers more than material principles. Known for his profound influence on Plato, Pythagoras defined himself as a lover of wisdom and a seeker of knowledge. As a key figure in the evolution of Western intellectual thought, his ideas have endured for millennia, impacting fields ranging from mathematics to philosophy. Alongside other influential Greek thinkers, Pythagoras helped shift focus toward self-examination, deeply influencing how we understand purpose and the universe.  
  Pythagoras’s most lasting legacy was in the field of mathematics, but mathematics was not merely a tool for measurement to him - it was the underlying language of the universe. One of his most famous statements, “Panta arithmos” (“All is Number”), is indicative of his belief that numbers were the essence, structure, and governing principle of the universe. He thought ratios and proportions of integers could explain all reality, including musical harmony, physical objects, and abstract concepts like justice.
