  Have you ever wished someone would just say what we're all thinking about the absurdities of modern life? Are you ready for a brutally honest look at the world we live in? Lena Ashwood's 'The Things I Shouldn't Say Out Loud' is the unfiltered truth bomb you've been waiting for. 
  In this collection of razor-sharp essays, Lena Ashwood takes aim at the sacred cows of contemporary society, from the cult of self-improvement to the performative nature of social media. With a voice that's equal parts witty and incisive, Ashwood explores the complexities of modern relationships, the pressure to constantly reinvent ourselves, and the often unacknowledged grief that comes with living in a rapidly changing world. 
  Drawing from her own experiences and keen observations, she offers a perspective that's refreshingly honest and unapologetically critical. Ashwood doesn't just point out what's wrong with society; she invites readers to question their own complicity in perpetuating harmful norms and expectations. This isn't a book that will coddle you with easy solutions. Instead, it's a call to embrace the messiness of life and find authenticity in a world that often demands conformity. 
  'The Things I Shouldn't Say Out Loud' isn't just a book; it's a permission slip to be your authentic self in a world that often demands conformity. Ashwood's essays will make you laugh, cringe, and ultimately feel less alone in your struggles with modern life. This is your chance to see the world through a lens of brutal honesty and unexpected humour.

  The Temples of Egypt - Sacred...

  Temples in ancient Egypt were far more than mere places of worship. They stood at the very heart of Egyptian civilization, functioning as both spiritual centers and instruments of political and social order. Each temple was seen as a dwelling place for a god or goddess, and the rituals performed within their walls were believed to maintain the cosmic balance known as ma’at. The presence of a temple in a city or region signaled divine favor and legitimacy, reinforcing the bond between the gods and the ruling pharaoh. 
  Pharaohs were considered divine intermediaries between the gods and the people, and their authority was deeply rooted in religious belief. Temples were a direct reflection of this divine connection. Often constructed by pharaohs to honor specific deities, temples helped assert royal power and ensure harmony across the land. Through grand architecture and lavish offerings, rulers demonstrated their piety and reaffirmed their right to govern. This link between kingship and temple worship made temples central to the ideological framework of the state. 
  Beyond their religious significance, temples also played a pivotal role in the social life of ancient Egyptians. They were the sites of numerous festivals and ceremonial events that brought entire communities together. These occasions were marked by processions, music, dancing, and the display of sacred statues, all of which reinforced communal identity and devotion. The most prominent of these was the Opet Festival in Thebes, during which statues of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu were transported from Karnak to Luxor Temple in a public procession along the Nile. Such festivals reminded people of the gods’ presence and the pharaoh’s divine role in upholding order.
