  In 1776, the United States of America was born from a document that declared all men created equal and free to choose who they serve in this world. What followed was a difficult fight against a monarchy, a fight that ended with the creation of a powerful country built on the tenets of freedom and equality. These documents are some of the foundational writings from the earliest days of the country that have shaped the United States government for centuries:The Declaration of Independence – This was the formal decree that the 13 colonies wished to separate from the rule of England. This essay declares that the rulership of England had been unjust and did not give the people living in America proper representation in the government, and declared independence from the King of Great Britain.The Constitution – The Constitution of the United States was adopted as the supreme law of the country in 1789. This document, along with its amendments, is the instruction manual for running the United States’ democracy, from outlining the three branches of government to enacting a protocol for succession of power. The Federalist Papers – The Federalist Papers were a series of articles written by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison. The essays present the reasoning and logic behind each article of the Constitution, and were written to garner congressional support for its ratification. Today, they are used to assist in interpreting the intentions of the original supporters of the Constitution.The Bill of Rights – The Bill of Rights is the set of the first 10 amendments added to the Constitution. These amendments outline inalienable and natural rights for individuals, as well as stating that states have the power to create their own laws for matters not addressed in the Constitution.

  The Völva’s Apprentice - A Norse...

  I had heard tales of women with secret knowledge and powers, but I never imagined that there would be one standing right in front of me. 
  “You’re a Völva?” the word rolled off my tongue strangely... 
  I only knew faintly what a Völva was. They were said to be strange women with strange powers. Not only could they protect and ward against ill omens, but they could also travel the realms and reach into places untapped by most humans. As such, they were often spoken of in whispers of both reverence and mystery. 
  “Yes, I am. And an old one at that,” she said, getting up from her chair. 
  It seemed so casual as if she was just talking about a mindless chore that she was doing. Like it was nothing special that she had just performed some form of magic right in front of me. 
  For two years, I learned everything I could on runes, protections, herbs, medicines, and anything else that Dagmar deemed necessary. In the few moments I had that were not dedicated to lessons from Dagmar, I would seek out Ivar for his quiet presence. There was just something about being near him that set my mind at ease. 
  All that consumed my thoughts was avengement and how close Ulrik was. Soon he would taste the bitter sting of defeat. 
  In the realms of Norse Mythology, a girl sets out to avenge her village only to meet a powerful teacher on her journey into the abyss of forbidden knowledge.

  A timely and compassionate resource that equips religious leaders to engage with the reality of trauma within their congregations.Grounded in both lived experience and theological depth, this guide sheds light on the pervasive impact of sexual, racial, and generational trauma in the US, urging faith communities to become intentional spaces of refuge and restoration. Through a powerful call to "hold space," it offers practical tools for pastors and ministry leaders to walk alongside those carrying deep wounds. It reframes the role of the Church—not merely as a place of spiritual guidance, but as a sanctuary where healing and wholeness can take root. With a focus on embodiment, community, and the sacredness of vulnerability, Sanctuary of Healing provides a vital roadmap for transforming congregations into havens of empathy, resilience, and hope.
