Books. Owls. Mystery. Synchronicity. Mind over matter.

“Non-Christians imagine that to be converted, they must renounce an autonomy that all people possess naturally, a freedom and independence that Jesus would like to take away from them. In reality, once we imitate Jesus, we discover that our aspiration to autonomy has always made us bow down before individuals who may not be worse than we are but who are nonetheless bad models because we cannot imitate them without falling with them into the trap of rivalries in which are ensnarled more and more.”

— René Girard

Philip K. Dick wrote 44 novels, 121 short stories, and 14 short story collections.

This is one of his last speeches given in Metz, France, 1977.

It is fascinating.

@OldHollowTree That brought a lump to my throat.

Down in Appalachia, crossroads spirits are said to linger where dirt paths meet. Travelers speak of hearing fiddle music in the dark, sweet and dangerous. If you meet someone at a crossroads at midnight, don't shake hands. It might be more than a deal. #FolkloreThursday

Seeing the fractal patterns of plants (even on a screen) shifts our brain activity from fight or flight to rest & digest due to ancient foraging pathways that are still very active in modern humans. When we look at something we feel is beautiful our brains release dopamine, lifting mood.
Here's your daily bunch of lovely twigs for your noggin. Pause here if you're feeling strung out - late June floral snapshot from the garden🌿🧠:

In Welsh legend, the Red Dragon of Cymru battled the White Dragon of invading Saxons. But the land itself gave refuge to the Red. Migration in myth isn’t always about leaving. It’s about resisting displacement and protecting what is sacred. #MythologyMonday

Tonight is Midsummer Eve — a time of bonfires, long light and ancient celebrations across Europe.
No one captured its firelit magic quite like Norwegian painter Nikolai Astrup (1880–1928) who captured the midsummer (Jonsok) rituals from his childhood.

Tonight is Midsummer Eve (St John’s Eve) when the veil between worlds is thin.
Fairies and spirits might be abroad, and strange sights might be encountered.
If you find yourself out after dark, don’t stray too far from the beaten path... 🧚‍♀️🔥

[Folklore of Scotland @StephenGeoRae]

In Scots dialects, 'rantry' and 'rodin' is rowan

"with a rowan tree well fenced about, we're safe from every evil"

plant a rowan to ward off witches and other evil influence, and provide a home for faeries
