Shalom World - Christmas Chronicles Shalom World Podcasts Welcome to the enchanting world of "Christmas Chronicles" on Shalom World Podcasts, where each episode unwraps a different facet of the holiday season, inviting you on a festive journey through traditions and tales that make Christmas magical. From the anticipation of Advent to the daily surprises of the Advent Calendar, we delve into the origins of Christmas, explore the symbolic colors that paint the season, and unravel the fascinating stories behind St. Nicholas, Santa Claus, and Father Christmas.In this merry exploration, we uncover the rich history of Christmas carols, the artistry of wreaths and candles, and the delicious delights of Christmas cake and heartfelt cards. We reflect on the spiritual aspects with the Litany to Child Jesus and the St. Andrew Novena, ponder the whimsy of snow and ice, and trace the evolution of beloved traditions like Christmas trees and stockings. Join us in savoring the delectable history of Christmas Panettone, the joy of giving presents, Born Again by Alfred Lawson (1869 - 1954) LibriVox "I doubt that anyone who reads [Born Again] will ever forget it: it is quite singularly bad, with long indigestible rants against the evils of the world, an impossibly idealistic Utopian prescription for the said evils, and - as you will have gathered - a very silly plot." - oddbooks.co.ukAlfred Lawson was a veritable Renaissance man: a professional baseball player, a luminary in the field of aviation, an outspoken advocate of vegetarianism and economic reform, and the founder of a pseudo-scientific crackpot philosophy called Lawsonomy. Born Again, his only novel, is a bizarre, delirious, and delightfully silly utopian science-fiction novel that lays the groundwork for the philosophy that would later dominate Lawson's life. It tells the story of John Convert, a wayward, seafaring soul (based loosely on Lawson, minus the conveniently symbolic initials) who is tossed overboard by his crewmen after a physical altercation. Convert awakens on an island inhabited by a race of sup Under Their Spell Bring Me 2 Life Network Fairy tales are both stories of transformation and symbolic poetry. They are gifts from our ancestors, offering symbols and guidance for our human development. In this show artist, philosopher and teacher Sean Kramer will lead us into the imaginal realm of fairy tales, where we will find healing images and wise teachings for our own journey through this enchanted world.About the HostAfter studying art and the classics of philosophy and science, Sean Kramer lived for two decades as monk and hermit. He studied Russian icon painting and the ancient art techniques of egg-tempera and fresco. He works to bring together the horizontal traditions of human cultural transmission with the vertical illuminations from the angelic world. The Angels speak with and guide humans through images and light--through art and teaching Sean hopes to bring himself and others into more conscious collaboration with the Angelic guides.

This album examines the border between Mexico and the United States as a symbolic place which both connects and divides people, highlighting complex issues about cultural belonging and national identity. Many disturbing aspects of border control are revealed through the stories of migrants, border guards, factory workers, factory bosses and activists. In the audio track, members of the course team give further insight into the issues raised by the video tracks, and discuss how borders illustrate many of the problems of globalisation. This material is taken from The Open University course DD205 Living in a globalised world.
