Sinopsis

Forgotten Saints explores the fascinating stories of saints whose influence has waned over time, examining why some figures achieve lasting veneration while others fade into obscurity. Delving into religious history and cultural history, the book uncovers how societal values and theological shifts impact a saint's legacy. For example, a saint embodying virtues less relevant to modern society might experience a decline in popularity. The book argues that the fluctuating fortunes of these saints reflect the dynamic, responsive nature of religious traditions.

 
The book embarks by introducing the concept of sainthood and the traditional canonization criteria. Then Forgotten Saints presents detailed biographical accounts of several overlooked saints from different periods and regions, analyzing their lives, miracles, and the historical context of their veneration. Each chapter focuses on a specific saint, examining the reasons for their initial popularity, the factors contributing to their subsequent neglect, and their traces in religious practices and folklore. This approach offers a novel perspective on religious memory and cultural change, revealing the diverse expressions of holiness within religious traditions.

    Embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing with the help of tarot and other magickal tools. Gently explore the depths of the psyche—both the challenging (the dark) and the positive (the golden)—through practices designed to empower and transform.Author Shannon Knight’s approach to shadow work is deeply rooted in secular, therapeutic, and psychological principles, but she recognizes the valuable role that magick, archetypes, and symbolism play in this process. Dark Shadow, Golden Shadow is unique to other books on the subject, incorporating the use of tarot as a prominent tool that serves as a method of self-reflection, offering a portal to our subconscious and helping us access parts of ourselves previously unavailable to us. The imagery and archetypes help facilitate a dialogue with our shadow, making it easier to converse with the repressed and hidden parts of ourselves.Knight reveals that to create harmony and reduce tension between the logical and mystical aspects of ourselves, we need to be curious about multiple ways of being. We learn by experimenting with how these impact us—for better or for worse—and then we figure out what to do with this information.Through exercises, various techniques, and insights, Dark Shadow, Golden Shadow allows you to navigate the path toward greater self-acceptance. It’s the ultimate process of “looking in the mirror.”

    Recent years have proven rife with revelations about the misdeeds, objectional views, and, in some instances, crimes of popular artists. Given more access than ever thanks to social media and the internet in general, the public has turned an alert and critical eye upon the once-hidden lives of previously cherished entertainers. But what should we members of the public do, think, and feel in response to these artists' actions or statements? It's a predicament that many of us face: whether it's possible to disentangle the deeply unsettled feelings we have toward an artist from how we respond to the art they produced. As consumers of art, and especially as fans, we have a host of tricky moral question to navigate: do the moral lives of artists affect the aesthetic quality of their work? Is it morally permissible for us to engage with or enjoy that work? Can we separate an artist from their art? 
     
     
     
    In Drawing the Line, Erich Hatala Matthes offers insight and clarity to the ethical questions that dog us. He argues that it doesn't matter whether we can separate the art from the artist, because we shouldn't. Matthes argues both that the lives of artists can play an important role in shaping our moral and aesthetic relationship to the artworks that we love and that these same artworks offer us powerful resources for grappling with the immorality of their creators.

    Gaius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, better known as Caligula, served as the third Roman Emperor from 37 to 41 AD. Born into the illustrious Julio-Claudian dynasty, he was the son of Germanicus, a beloved Roman general, and Agrippina the Elder, Augustus' granddaughter. His lineage placed him firmly within the first reigning family of the Roman Empire, setting the stage for his eventual rise to power. 
    The Roman Empire had already undergone significant transitions by the time Caligula entered the world. Tiberius, his great-uncle, succeeded Augustus as emperor in 14 AD, adopting Germanicus as his son. Caligula’s early years were shaped by the Roman military campaigns under Germanicus in Germania, where he earned the nickname “Caligula,” meaning “little boot,” due to the small military boots he wore as a child during these campaigns with his father’s troops. 
    When Germanicus died under mysterious circumstances in Antioch in 19 AD, Caligula’s family was plunged into turmoil. Agrippina, now a widow, returned to Rome with her six children, only to become embroiled in a bitter conflict with Tiberius. Her family’s tragic fall resulted in the deaths or exile of most of her children, leaving Caligula as the only surviving male. In 26 AD, Tiberius withdrew to the island of Capri, where he lived in seclusion. Caligula followed him in 31 AD, and after Tiberius' death in 37 AD, Caligula ascended to the throne as emperor.
