  In The Forgotten Dance, Kara Sparr invites us into a powerful remembering of what was lost when we abandoned the sacred polarity between the masculine and feminine. Weaving cultural critique, ancestral wisdom, this book explores how modern society has eroded our connection to identity, intimacy, and purpose and how we might rebuild. With clarity, tenderness, and courage, Kara reclaims motherhood, reveres fatherhood, and reimagines love not as performance, but as devotion. This is not a call to go back, it’s a call to return: to essence, to soul, and to the sacred rhythm that once bound us to each other.

  Apollo and Artemis: The Origins...

  “Apollo’s history is a confusing one,” said the renowned poet and mythologist Robert Graves. This notion is also illustrated in the above quote from the 6th century BCE Homeric Hymn to Apollo, which gives the reader a brief glimpse into the confusion surrounding Apollo’s multi-faceted nature. The quote comes from the end of an episode in which Apollo is traversing the known world, looking for a place to build a temple to himself. Once he lands upon a place of his liking, however, he realizes that he needs to populate it with priests who would ‘guard’ and care for its ceremonies. Rather than depend upon those ‘glorious tribes’ to supply his temple with sycophants, Apollo has no patience for chance, and flies down to a Cretan merchant ship, landing on it in the form of a timber-shaking dolphin. After terrifying the merchants, he tells them that their lives in the sea trade are over, and they are to be priests at his temple from then on. Cautioning the merchants to eschew piracy and ‘keep righteousness’ in their hearts, while simultaneously confronting and sequestering them captures the youthful god’s capricious character quite well. 
  Artemis had one of the most widespread cults in the Greek world, perhaps due to her connection to nature, which can be a ubiquitous antagonist or boon-giver. Her association with nature may also explain why she was one of the oldest deities in the Greek pantheon, although her appearance in the Mycenaean Linear B script is still contested. Etymology often gives modern readers a better idea of the earliest form of a deity, but Artemis's is confusing. She is often associated with mythic qualities (such as "maidenhood" and "purity") and even non-Greek origins. The latter is as unsurprising as the former, since Artemis had a large following throughout Greece and across Asia Minor, where her most famous temple, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, resided. It was in the Near East where Artemis represented wilder characteristics.

  In the echoes of ancient Rome, where the clang of swords met the whispers of philosophy, Marcus Aurelius stood as both ruler and sage. The Speeches of Marcus is not a mere collection of words, but a testament to a mind sculpted by discipline and tempered by duty. His voice, austere yet compassionate, resounds through the corridors of time, inviting the listener to ponder the nature of power, virtue, and the fragile thread that binds humanity.
  With each measured phrase, Marcus does not seek to dazzle or dominate but to illuminate the path of reason and justice. His reflections, born from the battlefield and the senate, transcend the realm of politics and touch the core of the human soul. This work is not for the fleeting mind but for the seeker of truth, for those who dare to confront the impermanence of life and the inevitability of fate. 
  The Speeches of Marcus is an invitation to stand beside the philosopher-emperor as he faces the storms of empire and the shadows of mortality. It is a timeless dialogue between the self and the world, where the echoes of wisdom guide us through the chaos of existence.

  Stalin's Harvest of Despair -...

  In the aftermath of the Russian Revolution, the Soviet Union emerged as a bold experiment in socialist governance. The promise of equality, worker empowerment, and rapid industrial advancement stirred hope among the masses, particularly in a country long plagued by aristocratic rule and widespread poverty. Following Vladimir Lenin’s death in 1924, the Soviet Union stood at a crossroads. Competing visions of the nation's future vied for dominance, but it was Joseph Stalin who would seize the reins of power and chart a course that would forever change the fate of the Soviet people. 
  Stalin was not initially seen as Lenin's most likely successor. Quiet and often underestimated, he used his position as General Secretary to quietly build alliances, marginalize rivals, and install loyalists in key positions. Through political maneuvering and calculated ruthlessness, he eliminated opposition, including figures like Leon Trotsky, who posed significant ideological challenges to his authority. By the end of the 1920s, Stalin had effectively become the uncontested leader of the Soviet Union. 
  With Stalin’s rise came a dramatic shift in the nation’s priorities. While Lenin’s New Economic Policy had allowed for a degree of private enterprise and economic flexibility, Stalin viewed such policies as a betrayal of Marxist principles. He replaced them with a command economy, aiming to accelerate industrialization and bring agriculture under state control. This transition was not merely economic—it was deeply ideological. Stalin envisioned a centralized Soviet state capable of projecting power, crushing resistance, and transforming society through sheer force of will.
