Despite objections from his family and every government website, Jared Woods visited Israel/Palestine during the peak of the war (November 2024). Here is his account of the Holy Land, where newfound political education and spiritual elation are tested under the scrutiny of his peers. Losing Friends “If your ‘bravery,’ essentially cosplaying a threat to your life while actual people are being slaughtered and massacred with no end in sight, makes you feel better about yourself, then cool. I think this... Read more

10 Most Popular Occult Books for Secret Mystical Knowledge

Last updated on: February 2, 2024 at 5:53 pm By Jared Woods

It doesn’t matter to which religion you subscribe; there is always a mystical teaching bubbling beneath. The Gnostic Christians, Esoteric Buddhists, Jewish Kabbalists, and Islamic Sufis are just some examples of mainstream faiths that have sunk deeper into the occult, seeking to merge with the Supreme Being while decoding the secrets of the Universe. Of course, strict dogmas reject these practices as wicked blasphemy, but there’s no stopping human curiosity, and the deviating quests continue to capture spiritual imaginations today.... Read more

From Korn To Christian: Where is Brian Welch Now?

Last updated on: December 12, 2023 at 7:23 am By Jared Woods

0 Comments

Brian “Head” Welch is a celebrated musician as one of the two guitarists from the pioneering nu-metal band Korn. And just like the rockstardom gods promised, with fame came a sudden excess of money, groupies, and all the substance misuse between. However, behind the curtain, Brian was struggling, seeking something to save him from himself. As it turns out, that something was Jesus Christ. Early Life Born in Bakersfield, California, 1970, Head always felt like an outcast. His disconnected perception... Read more

6 Religious Icons as Halloween Monsters

Due to the harvest period transitioning into winter, the 31st of October marks a significant position in our planet’s rotation. With origins in paganistic Gaelic traditions, it was said that this seasonal shift thinned the walls between the spirit reality and our land of the living, allowing spooky entities to crossover. Meanwhile, November 1st marked the Christian feast of All Saints’ Day, otherwise known as All Hallows’ Day. The night before, All Hallows’ Eve, eventually evolved into the holiday name... Read more

In honour of World Mental Health Day, I have reluctantly decided to share my recent journey where my mind and soul twisted into a messy manifestation of torture. If you relate to this story and are currently struggling, I would implore you to read the following case study by Skylight that investigates the connection between mental wellness and spiritual practice. Sitting cross-legged with my eyes squeezed shut, I heard the overhead ceiling fan creak and then grind to a halt.... Read more

The world is full of mysterious objects, and the British Museum has stolen most of them! You don’t build the biggest collection of historical pieces on Earth without making some enemies, and the British Museum has made many. Having plundered the globe for such a comprehensive representation of cultures, these famed exhibitions have provoked much understandable controversy. Simply put, countries want their stuff back! Noted requests come with additional potency when the items in question are of spiritual value and... Read more

Undeniable Proof That God Exists

Last updated on: September 6, 2023 at 9:29 am By Jared Woods

Since the birth of human contemplation, questions about God’s true nature have haunted our rationale. Gradually, we’ve evolved to favour scientific demonstrations, and as a result, the debate between theists vs. atheists has never been as fierce (or rude). However, this article aims to change that, finally proving God’s existence without any room for debate. I know what you’re thinking. You don’t trust that I can accomplish this feat, primarily because no one has ever achieved such a thing. Ye... Read more

The 10 Creepiest Places in Milan, Italy

Last updated on: August 10, 2023 at 2:55 pm By Jared Woods

There’s an old Italian joke that goes, “What’s the best thing about Milan? The train back to Rome”. When viewing the country’s splendour as a broader package, it’s easy to grasp why Milan is not anyone’s first destination on their Italian itinerary. The art of Florence, the cuisine of Bologna, the history of Rome, the canals of Venice, and the tragedy of Pompeii are just some of the tourist hot spots prioritised above Italy’s second-most populous city. This oversight is... Read more

The Jefferson Bible: Why Even Atheists Should Love Jesus

Last updated on: July 16, 2023 at 6:20 pm By Jared Woods

The Problem with Jesus and Christianity I once heard a joke that said, “Someone should make a religion based on the teachings of Jesus”. As the classic adage goes, it’s funny because it’s true. But perhaps the most admirable attempt to accomplish such a daunting feat can be found in the Jefferson Bible. Now, I consider myself a Christian but only in the appreciation of Christ manner. I also consider myself a Beatlemaniac, a Swiftie, and a Guinness connoisseur. These... Read more

On August 8th, 1969, the free-love hippie era of the 60s ended in bloodshed. Actress Sharon Tate and four of her friends were found massacred in her Hollywood home. Tate had been stabbed 16 times. She was eight months pregnant. This murderous rampage continued over the next two nights, with at least two more deaths before the authorities caught the perpetrators. They were a cult with around 100 (mostly young female) followers, led by the charismatic and dangerously unstable Charles... Read more
