  Most people know of witches from the movies. Horror films with evil, cackling old women dressed in black, mixing potions and lotions and bringing doom to her victims. 
   
  The truth is in fact, as normal, far from the Hollywood version. Most of this false reality comes from religious intolerance over the centuries. Witchcraft was a threat to established religion and can be dated right back into the Bible itself. 
   
  Church propaganda spread stories and fear among the masses. This in turn brought down violence upon those practising witchcraft. Hounded out of town, victimised or even burned alive or drowned, the role of those practising the old arts was not one to be jealous of. If there was any true horror, then it was for the witches themselves. 
   
  Their craft is as old as history and it holds a great many truths, both natural and psychological. It finds it’s origins in ancient techniques of natural healing and a uniting of the natural world with that of humanity. Many of the discoveries made by witches are now common practice in homeopathy. 
   
  So what is the real truth? Did witches deal with the devil? Did they eat their victims? Did they mix their special brews in big black cauldrons? It’s time to find out.

  If

  Rudyard Kipling’s If is a reflective poem that explores the formation of character under pressure. Rather than describing grand achievements, the poem focuses on inner discipline: the ability to remain calm when others panic, to persist when effort seems wasted, and to endure both success and failure without being morally altered by either. The repeated conditional structure suggests that maturity is not guaranteed, but earned through consistent ethical choices.

  For too long, Native American people in the United States have been stereotyped as vestiges of the past, invisible citizens in their own land obliged to remind others, "We are still here!" Yet today, Native leaders are at the center of social change, challenging philanthropic organizations that have historically excluded Native people, and fighting for economic and environmental justice. 
   
   
   
  Invisible No More is a collection of stories by Native American leaders, many of them women, who are leading the way through cultural grounding and nation-building in the areas of community, environmental justice, and economic justice. Authors in the collection come from over a dozen Native nations. While telling their stories, authors excavate the history and ongoing effects of genocide and colonialism. At the same time, the authors detail ways that listeners might imagine the world differently, presenting stories of Native community building that offer benefits for all. 
   
   
   
  In a world facing a mounting climate crisis and record economic inequality, Invisible No More exposes the deep wounds of a racist past while offering a powerful call to care for one another and the planet. Indigenous communities have much to offer, not the least of which are solutions gleaned from cultural knowledge developed over generations.
