Synopsis

Metacomet (1638–1676), also known by his adopted English name King Philip, was chief to the Wampanoag people and the second son of the sachem Massasoit. He became a chief in 1662 when his brother Wamsutta (or King Alexander) died shortly after their father Massasoit. Wamsutta's widow Weetamoo (d. 1676), sunksqua of the Pocasset, was Metacomet's ally and friend for the rest of her life. Metacomet married Weetamoo's younger sister Wootonekanuske. No one knows how many children they had or what happened to them all. Wootonekanuske and one of their sons were sold to slavery in the West Indies following the defeat of the Native Americans in what became known as King Philip's War.

    Festivals played a central role in the cultural and religious life of ancient Egypt. These grand celebrations were not just an occasion for communal enjoyment but were deeply tied to the spiritual and societal fabric of the civilization. They served as a means of honoring gods and goddesses, ensuring the prosperity of the land, and reinforcing the divine order, which was vital for the Egyptians. The festivals helped to maintain cosmic balance and provided a way for the people to connect with the divine. 
    The ancient Egyptians viewed the natural and spiritual worlds as intricately linked. Their gods were believed to control all aspects of life, from the annual flooding of the Nile to the harvests and the afterlife. Therefore, festivals were seen as essential in securing divine favor and maintaining order. These events allowed the people to express their devotion, offering prayers, sacrifices, and rituals to appease the gods. For instance, the Festival of Opet, one of the most significant, symbolized the renewal of the king’s power and his bond with the gods. It was an opportunity for the people to reassert their allegiance to the pharaoh, who was seen as the living deity on earth. 
    In addition to reinforcing the divine relationship, festivals also played a key role in community cohesion. The ancient Egyptians, despite the challenges of life, were brought together by shared rituals and celebrations. This unity was expressed in grand processions, feasts, music, and dance, where the people could experience a sense of collective identity. These events transcended social status and served as a reminder of the interconnectedness of all people under the divine. Festivals were not just for the elite but were a part of the communal life, extending to all citizens, from farmers to nobles.

    The Coming Storm - Why water...

    Following Russia's aggressive war in Ukraine, the world is suddenly gripped by concerns over energy security. And yet, there is an even greater threat ahead – one that is much more likely to shape the events of the twenty-first century than the competition for oil or gas.
    The combination of an ever-increasing global population, climate change, industrialisation, urbanisation and limited natural resources means that one difficulty, above all, will shape the political, economic and security environment in the years ahead: that is water. If people and nations will fight for fossil fuels, it is nothing compared to what they will do for the most vital natural resource of all.
    As both a citizen who has supported water charities and worked in the NHS and a politician who has dealt with security and economic issues, Liam Fox tells the story of water and the problems it presents in a more complete way than ever before. The Coming Storm unites a range of concerns that are often written about separately but seldom together and provides a comprehensible and compelling call for urgent action.

    Magic. Mayhem. Soap. 
    Fine, then. Let's put this soap to good use. And what better use than to re-visit my old schoolmates and see what they've been up to. And maybe some will be up for some soapy, soapy lesbian love. I'll provide the toys, of course. Not gonna show up empty handed, right?  
    And so in the fourth part of Soap Magic, this trip down memory lane is paved with sweet, sticky lesbian juices, less sweet, but still sticky anal probing and quite possibly more than two lesbians at one time, if I was counting correctly. Which I may not have. Look, things got heated, is all I'm sayin'.

    Hidden behind the veils of ancient Egypt and whispered through the halls of esoteric schools, The Kybalion is a concise yet profound guide to the timeless principles said to govern all existence. First published anonymously in 1908, this small volume has shaped generations of mystics, philosophers, and seekers—yet its origin remains shrouded in mystery. 
    Presented through the cryptic voice of “The Three Initiates,” The Kybalion unveils seven Hermetic Principles—Mentalism, Correspondence, Vibration, Polarity, Rhythm, Cause and Effect, and Gender. These principles form a blueprint of how reality functions at every level, from the cosmic to the personal. They offer a way to understand the forces that shape thought, influence emotion, and guide the unseen currents of destiny. 
    Rather than dogma or doctrine, this work offers a practical metaphysical framework—one that invites the reader to explore the nature of mind, master inner states, and align with the universal patterns that weave through all life. Its teachings resonate across spiritual traditions, from alchemy and Kabbalah to modern psychology and self-transformation. 
    Whether you’re drawn to Hermetic philosophy, seeking deeper self-knowledge, or exploring the roots of Western esotericism, The Kybalion stands as a rare key: 
     a map for decoding the universe—and yourself.

    The Child and the Curriculum

    "The Child and the Curriculum" is a book written by John Dewey, an American philosopher, psychologist, and educational reformer, and published in 1902. The book is a collection of essays and lectures that explore Dewey's ideas about the relationship between the child and the curriculum in education. 
    Dewey argues that education should focus on the child's experiences and interests, rather than on a predetermined curriculum that is disconnected from the child's life. He advocates for a child-centered approach to education that emphasizes active learning, critical thinking, and problem-solving. 
    According to Dewey, the curriculum should be flexible and adaptable to the needs and interests of each child, rather than a fixed set of subjects that all students must learn. He also emphasizes the importance of hands-on, experiential learning, and the integration of subjects across disciplines. 
    Overall, "The Child and the Curriculum" is a seminal work in the field of education that continues to influence educational theory and practice today. Dewey's ideas about child-centered education, active learning, and the integration of subjects continue to shape the way educators think about teaching and learning
