Democratic Socialism Defined -...

Arlo Holders

Democratic socialism is a political and economic ideology that seeks to combine the principles of democracy with the goals of social welfare and economic equality. Rooted in the broader tradition of socialism, democratic socialism differentiates itself by advocating for the implementation of socialist policies through democratic means rather than authoritarian or revolutionary approaches. It envisions a society where wealth and resources are more equitably distributed, ensuring that essential services such as healthcare, education, and housing are accessible to all, regardless of socioeconomic status. 
The historical development of democratic socialism can be traced back to the 19th and early 20th centuries when socialist thinkers began to grapple with the failures and excesses of unregulated capitalism. Influenced by Karl Marx, Eduard Bernstein, and later democratic theorists, the movement sought to address economic inequality while maintaining democratic governance. This ideological blend resonated strongly in Europe, where parties such as the British Labour Party and the Social Democratic Party of Germany championed policies that merged socialist ideals with democratic frameworks. 
At its core, democratic socialism emphasizes that democracy should extend beyond the political sphere to include economic decision-making. This principle advocates for increased worker participation in corporate governance, fair labor practices, and the regulation of industries to prevent exploitation and ensure public benefit. Rather than abolishing private enterprise, democratic socialism often supports a mixed economy, combining elements of both private and public ownership to balance innovation with social responsibility.

The Night House - Folklore Fairy...

Danielle Dulsky

Fairy tales are more than mere bedtime stories; they are living, breathing repositories of ancient wisdom and magick.In The Night House, bestselling author and word-witch Danielle Dulsky peels back the layers of these timeless narratives to reveal their potent role as guides for navigating today's world. Historically kept and passed on by women, fairy tales are distinguishable from other types of folk tales by their supernatural elements, and because of this, they were often dismissed as trivial fantasies for women and children. Danielle illuminates how this marginalization kept these stories safe from the witch-hunter's noose and allowed women to safely store and transmit their sacred age-old wisdom for new generations to uncover and explore. Her fresh and relevant commentary will support your kinship with the Earth, ancestors, and your own living myth. The Night House shows how a single fairy tale is actually a treasure box of coded knowledge and magickal practice that has remained largely intact, preserved under the floorboards of the Yaga's hut for us to find.
