A fairy ring is a ring of mushrooms, while science will tell us how and when they occur, folklore tells us of the fairies who trap us if we step inside or of the giant toad that magically appears inside. Whether you're looking at the folklore or the science, fairy rings are fascinating!

Horatio Storer led the pack for anti-abortion laws in the US, based solely on his bigotry, and nearly single handedly ended the midwife profession for women. He introduced his personal view of life beginning at conception as a new theory, the standard belief for thousands of years prior to his announcement was life began at the quickening. His influence, bigotry, and false beliefs are still influencing thought two hundred years later.

In honor of Juneteenth, we explore the tradition of jumping the broom. Enslaved people were not allowed legal marriages; they were stolen away from their families. Despite knowing this, they still made solemn declarations of love in ceremonies where jumping over a broom solidified their unions. Though tragedy befell these couples before and after their jump, we pray daily God will continuously bless the descendants of these unions.

I'm always down for a comeback story, but Eva Carriere's comeback...determined not be called a fraud again, she made sure there was much more to talk about after her seances than whether or not the ectoplasm was faked.
