Hugin and Munin, the Ravens of Odin, is a short story from Norse mythology. Hugin and Munin are quiet now, as if they want to take a nap on the man's shoulders. Odins thoughts drift away, far into the past. His time should have ended long ago, but then a new age dawned. There were machines that could spread words and thoughts.

A baby dolphin talks about its everyday life: I'm still a bit clumsy at hunting, but I'm getting better and better. We move around a lot, and I know that we'll always stay together. It's great fun! Playing here is great fun. Mummy is never far away, and neither are the others. There are lots of children here who have never seen the big blue sea before. There's so much to learn, so much to feel. The funny little creatures that live in the sand get scared when we swim over them. Wherever we go, I'm at the front.

The Four Elements and their Importance in Spiritual Life www.pressenet.info/english/four... The study of the four #elements has occupied a very important place in #esotericism, and in today's world many people are increasingly turning to this way of thinking ... #booksky #literature

Traditionally, the study of the four elements has occupied a very important place in esotericism, and in today's world many people are increasingly turning to this way of thinking, seeing and understanding the world. When we speak of the elements, we mean the four directions in all their correspondences. For example, the south is associated with fire, the west with water, the east with air and the north with earth. We know these classifications from the Tarot, whose four 'colours' are in turn correspondences of the elements. The actual directions are of limited importance; it is their symbolic and spiritual 'geography' that interests us. The elements are also very important in Asian cultures, although this spiritual world has yet to be experienced. In our tradition, which is largely rooted in the spiritual worldview of the Celtic peoples, we use images and associations from our world of experience that have been familiar to us for many centuries. On a certain level this no longer matters because it is the same world – but the symbolism is adapted. For example, a European would not have much to say when looking at a baobab tree, but an African could come up with all sorts of legends and symbolic stories about it. For our ancestors, the number four was a sacred number, representing the four foundations of the earth, perhaps related to the elements. Each of the four has its own colour, number, instrument or keynote. For example, the earth is associated with the drum and the air with the flute. Astrology also assigns the different signs of the zodiac to the elements. The Tarot has preserved these teachings in coded form and passed them on to those who are interested and willing to learn.

Fancy travelling through time? We'll send you into your own future www.pressenet.info/english/fanc... Do you have a voucher for a trip through time? Well, we can certainly arrange that. Take a leap forward to when you're around 70. It's not as difficult as you might think #booksky #literature

Do you have a voucher for a trip through time? Well, we can certainly arrange that. We'll send you into your own future. Are you around thirty years old? Great! Now, take a leap forward to when you're around seventy or older. It's not as difficult as you might think, so don't laugh! If you're ready, let's get started. First, we'll restrict your movement by wrapping rubber bandages around your legs and arms joints. Trying to move your joints through their full range of motion will now be painful. Movement is possible, but limited. Of course, you can only take small steps now, but that's just right. As part of the experience, you will wear special gloves made of stiff material to give you an authentic sense of the limitations experienced by older people's fingers during our little adventure. This collar is not designed to prevent neck pain; rather, it ensures that you can only turn your head to a limited extent. That's fine. Now, regarding your hearing, these earplugs filter out noise. You will find it difficult to hear anything. You will have to concentrate very hard during conversations to keep up. Almost done, except for your eyes. To help with that, we'll give you these contact lenses, which make everything a little blurry and, more importantly, make it harder to see close-up details. You can compensate for this by wearing these glasses, which you can take off and put on as needed. Sometimes it's enough to wear the frames on the tip of your nose to be able to see over them. Varifocal lenses will probably be a luxury item in thirty or forty years if the economic situation remains as dire as it is now. But after all, you've booked an adventure holiday, not a luxury hotel in Abu Dhabi. See how you get on with these glasses and don't complain!

Cards of the Major Arcana: The Chariot – Justice – The Hermit www.pressenet.info/english/ride... This is an excerpt from my book "Decoding the Wisdom of Rider-Waite Tarot". It was published in October 2025. #tarot #tarotcards #tarotsky #tarotreader #tarotreading #booksky #magicalbazaar

Today, we will present three more cards from the Major Arcana of the Rider-Waite Tarot deck. Together, they represent determination, fairness and introspection in the Tarot. The Chariot card symbolises determination, control, and the overcoming of obstacles. It encourages taking charge of one's destiny through confidence and willpower. This card often signifies physical and emotional movement, as well as a journey towards victory. The Justice card represents fairness, truth, and the law of cause and effect. It highlights the importance of accountability and making balanced decisions. It urges reflection on moral choices and emphasises integrity in all dealings to ensure that fairness prevails. The Hermit card signifies introspection, solitude and inner guidance. It encourages self-reflection and the pursuit of wisdom. It suggests retreating from external distractions in order to explore deeper truths and gain clarity about one's path and purpose in life.

Coffee grounds reading has a long tradition and is practised in many cultures as a method of divination and fortune telling. What is known about coffee grounds reading, how did it come about and are there other traditional methods of reading the future from drinks? The origins of coffee grounds reading can be traced back to the 16th century, when coffee arrived in Europe from the Middle East. The tradition of reading coffee grounds is particularly deep-rooted in the countries of the Orient and the Balkans, where it is associated with a variety of cultural and social rituals. Over time, the practice spread to other parts of the world, finding its way into the parlours and coffeehouses of 18th and 19th century Europe. The exact origins of coffee fortune telling are unclear, but many believe it is an evolution of older divination practices. Even in ancient times, people used various methods to predict the future, such as studying the stars, throwing dice or interpreting dreams. With the introduction of coffee as a stimulant, the idea of using the remains of the drink as a medium for reading the future was born.

Isabelle: she had a dream. A story from French #history www.pressenet.info/english/isab... Isabelle RomΓ©e was Joan of Arc's mother. Here, she tells her story. It's time she had her say. Very little is known about Joan of Arc's childhood. #booksky

Isabelle RomΓ©e was Joan of Arc's mother. Here, she tells her story – it's time she had her say. Very little is known about Joan of Arc's childhood. This story may be true, or it may be completely different. When she opened her eyes, she just asked me: 'Didn't you hear them, Maman?' A tremendous fear came over me – God help me. 'The child has a fever', I thought. But her forehead was cold, and when I asked her who she had heard, she just said: 'The good ladies.' She was ten years old at the time. I didn't tell my old husband about it. I didn't want to worry him. I never took my eyes off her, my beloved child, who is so different from all the other children.
