St. Patrick and Osiris

March 14, 2010 • Christopher Knowles

CONTRARY TO popular belief, St. Patrick’s Day isn’t an Irish celebration. It’s not even an American celebration, really.

Christopher Knowles, author of the fascinating blog The Secret Sun and the Eagle Award-winning Our Gods Wear Spandex: The Secret History of Comic Book Heroes, traces the history of St. Paddy’s Day back through Rome to ancient Egypt, and points out a lot of odd, highly improbable “coincidences” along the way.

Also: 3/17 everywhere you look, and the Babylonian symbolism at the Academy Awards.

Game of Gods

March 26, 2018 • Carl Teichrib

GOD CREATED humanity with free will, the ability to choose whether to love Him and love one another, or not. Rather than cherish this precious gift, most of us spend most of our time blaming our circumstances on everything except our choices. And now a growing spiritual movement is promoting the concept of Oneness, the idea that our destiny is to become parts of one cosmic Whole. Carl Teichrib, author of the forthcoming book Game of Gods: The Temple of Man in the Age of Re-enchantment, has been researching and writing about this movement for years, and he explains that it's a lot more advanced than most of us realize.
