Witchcraft vs. Healing (theories of the universe before evil, heavenly realms, love vs. evil on Earth). From a video about Amish culture and “braufe” leads to questions of what is considered evil vs. good. Culturally every group has taboos, rights, wrongs. Can a person really tell if something is a right or wrong form of healing? And from where to do those concepts arise? We start before the beginning of human existence in some cultures and traditions. Referenced book: THE GREAT CONTROVERSY (Ellen G. White, audiobook, see time stamp 16:13:09 about the origins of evil).

Substances Tidbits (how to tell if substances may be a problem and societal views about taboos). Here we talk about potential lifestyle stressors leading people to choose certain substances and societal views of what is acceptable and what is more taboo.

Psilocybin Microdose Experience (at 0.6 grams of “Amazon” strain, One Up bar chocolate edible). My recent mood, productivity, and work-life balance and my experience of my most recent microdose of psilocybin.

Work Relationships and Ego (processing speeds, productivity, taking time off, work-life balance). Often times we are conflicted between what we need for ourselves and what our work needs from us.

Black Pride (race and ethnicity, privilege, racism, prejudice). We can see challenges already with trying to define race and ethnicity. How we look versus how we are treated can be impacting and can lead to privilege, racism, prejudice, and everything in between. The LGBTQ+ community in addition to sexual and gender minorities also is made of racial and ethnic minorities. Here we discuss some of the complexities (I talk about my personal experiences and opinions, this was recorded while driving hence background noise, this was recorded before the event and I intend to post more about my experiences and impressions following the event since at the time of posting I have already attended this event).

Relationships and Internal Dynamics [self-esteem, perception, self-talk, & dating]. (This is a working title). For once I jump into the topic, and on a weekday morning! I may break this down into separate topics and I’m likely going to be writing on related topics on the blog (www.hempication.blogspot.com). The goal here is to discuss themes I experience or themes others tell me about in relationships and applying them to dating as well. I hope it creates a sense of hope and sparks new positive ideas for people when they’re struggling with dating life.

My own personal evaluation of myself, how I’m developing some routines, my pilot study of my energy shifts along with supplements and their impacts.

The initial question was why are there no Christian holidays associated with the Pagan summer solstice time? And in Judaism is there a holy day or any relevant details about the summer solstice?
