  A long time ago Finns, Finno-Ugric tribes and Baltic tribes practised animistic nature-based belief, where everything in nature had its own place and spirit. Trees were widely worshipped. Some trees, holier than others were called spirit trees. In this course, you will learn about ancient tree worship and mythologies and stories told about different tree species and gods, goddesses and magical creatures related to them. How these trees were used in folk magic and how people saw them. Sacred groves were very common. These special places were thought to harbour gods and goddesses, so they were also worshipped and given sacrificial gifts of food, drink and treasures.Altars were built in these groves for the purpose of worship. An altar was usually a large stone or a wooden table holding a statue or an image of a particular deity.Sacred groves were communally owned by an entire village and were generally located in the woods near the village. People could visit a grove alone or in groups to show reverence to the gods. It was believed that trees understood humans, especially women. People told their troubles to trees and felt certain that the trees kept their secrets.In the old days, people relied more on the forest than they do today. The entire forest ecosystem offered almost all of the materials needed for life: shelter and abundant food like berries, plants, mushrooms and animals.Learn about the Christmas tree tradition and how it arrived in Finland and the tree emuu's, these were spirits that created the different tree species. This course also includes tips for those of you who are interested in grounding and building better spiritual connections with nature and your surroundings.

  Deceptive Charisma - Using Charm...

  Charisma is one of the most powerful tools of influence. Throughout history, charismatic individuals have captivated audiences, inspired movements, and shaped the course of events. Whether in politics, business, entertainment, or everyday life, people with magnetic personalities often seem to have an almost hypnotic effect on others. But what exactly gives someone charisma, and why is it so effective? 
  At its core, charisma is a blend of confidence, charm, and emotional intelligence. It is not just about good looks or eloquent speech, though those can play a role. Instead, true charisma lies in the ability to make others feel special, understood, and valued. Charismatic individuals have an innate or developed talent for reading people and adjusting their approach accordingly. They know when to listen, when to speak, and how to convey messages in ways that resonate deeply with their audience. 
  The psychological impact of charisma is profound. People are naturally drawn to those who exude confidence and warmth. Studies in social psychology suggest that individuals with charismatic traits are often perceived as more competent, trustworthy, and even more likable, regardless of their actual abilities or intentions. This perception creates a halo effect, where one positive trait overshadows potential flaws or red flags.

  Love - The Mysterious Logic of...

  'What our world needs most of all today is love… because the deepest, albeit often unacknowledged, human longing of our time is the longing for true love.' – Pietro Archiati
  The word love has become so hackneyed that it can mean almost anything. Yet the concept or idea of love remains one of most unfathomable mysteries of human life. Here, in five carefully sculpted chapters, Pietro Archiati takes up the challenge to illuminate and expand upon our understanding of this most fundamental and unique quality of human existence, beginning with the great themes of 'Love and Hate' – the 'salt and pepper of life' – and concluding with 'Realism and Idealism': Is it really possible to love the whole of humanity? And, how do we balance individual freedom with the ideal of fraternity?
  Along this journey, the author asks and addresses numerous questions, such as: What are the causes of sympathy and antipathy, and is love more than a feeling? What do masculine and feminine really mean today, and what role does sexuality play in freedom? What value is the heart without the head (and the head without the heart)? And what do the great religions – in particular, Islam and Christianity – have to say on these subjects? Archiati tackles the difficult and problematic topics of 'Love and Sexuality', 'Love and Death' and 'Love and Reason'. As a special focus, he investigates 'the logic of the heart' and what it can mean for humanity's future development.

  Thoreau's God

  Thoreau? I know him! Well, I know the name. I’m sure I know who he is… don’t I? The nature guy, right? 
  Henry David Thoreau’s spiritual life is a riddle. Thoreau’s passionate critique of formal religion is matched only by his rapturous descriptions of encounters with the divine in nature. He fled the church only to pursue a deeper communion with a presence he felt at the heart of the universe. He called this illimitable presence many names, but he often called it God. 
  In Thoreau’s God, Richard Higgins invites seekers — religious or otherwise — to walk with the great Transcendentalist through a series of meditations on his spiritual life. Thoreau offers us no creed, but his writings encourage reflection on how to live, what to notice, and what to love. Though his quest was deeply personal, Thoreau devoted his life to communicating his experience of an infinite, wild, life-giving God. By recovering this vital thread in Thoreau’s life and work, Thoreau’s God opens the door to a new understanding of an original voice in American religion that speaks to spiritual seekers today.
