Ancient Australia - The World of...

Lillian Brooks

Aboriginal culture is one of the oldest and most complex systems of human existence, stretching back over 60,000 years in Australia. The richness of this culture is woven through the landscape, the traditions, the language, and the deep spiritual connections the people have with the land. Far from a singular or homogeneous entity, Aboriginal culture is an intricate tapestry made up of diverse languages, customs, and belief systems that reflect the uniqueness of the many nations that have inhabited Australia for millennia.
At the heart of Aboriginal culture lies an unbreakable connection to Country. The concept of Country extends beyond mere geography; it encompasses the land, the waterways, the plants, the animals, and even the ancestors that reside within it. This intimate relationship shapes all aspects of life, from spiritual beliefs to daily practices. For Aboriginal people, their land is not simply a place to live, but a living entity that provides, sustains, and is cared for in return. This relationship is integral to the way Aboriginal communities structure their lives, making respect for and care of the environment a fundamental principle.
The Dreamtime, or the time of creation, forms the bedrock of Aboriginal spirituality and cultural practices. It is in this time that ancestral beings shaped the land, the people, and the laws that govern life. These stories, which are passed down through generations, guide and influence the way Aboriginal people live, ensuring their survival and cultural continuity. The Dreamtime is not a distant past but a present reality, interwoven with the lives of modern Aboriginal peoples.

Alien Goddess - UFOs AI and the...

Dr. Joanna Kujawa

What if the beings we call "aliens" are not invaders, but messengers from higher realms of consciousness, warning us against the dead-end path we are racing toward? What if the true threat to humanity is not an alien invasion, but rather our surrender to machines? And what if the antidote resides in wisdom we abandoned long ago? 
 
Alien Goddess enters this urgent conversation with a perspective no one else is offering. Drawing on contemporary accounts of contact phenomena, esoteric texts, and ancient mythologies, it asks what happens when a civilization replaces the sacred with the synthetic. Who becomes the architect of human destiny when the soul is written out of the equation? 
 
Part I—The Messengers: UFOs investigates the possibility that UFO phenomena are visitations from consciousness realms within the liminal spaces of multidimensional realities. 
 
Part II—The Message: AI critiques the promises of transhumanism and artificial intelligence (AI), exposing the confusion between artificial experiences and true spiritual evolution. 
 
Part III—The Goddesses of Ascension offers an alternative in the initiatory wisdom of Goddess traditions. 
 
Alien Goddess is both a warning and a map.

Last Stand of the Louisiana...

Emma Christopher Lirette

In recent years, shrimpers on the Louisiana coast have faced a historically dire shrimp season, with the price of shrimp barely high enough to justify trawling. Yet, many of them wouldn't consider leaving shrimping behind, despite having transferrable skills that could land them jobs in the oil and gas industry. Since 2001, shrimpers have faced increasing challenges to their trade: an influx of shrimp from southeast Asia, several traumatic hurricane seasons, and the largest oil spill at sea in American history.

In Last Stand of the Louisiana Shrimpers, author Emma Christopher Lirette traces how Louisiana Gulf Coast shrimpers negotiate land and blood, sea and freedom, and economic security and networks of control. This book explores what ties shrimpers to their boats and nets. Despite feeling trapped by finances and circumstances, they have created a world in which they have agency.

Lirette provides a richly textured view of the shrimpers of Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana, calling upon ethnographic fieldwork, archival research, interdisciplinary scholarship, and critical theory. With evocative, lyrical prose, she argues that in persisting to trawl in places that increasingly restrict their way of life, shrimpers build fragile, quietly defiant worlds, adapting to a constantly changing environment. In these flickering worlds, shrimpers reimagine what it means to work and what it means to make a living.
