WARNING ⚠️

On one hand, we saw a surge in eclecticism, where Wicca became a "universal blueprint" for all witchcraft. Occult motifs flooded pop culture; alongside fantasy and gothic music, Triple Goddess symbols, tarot, and crystals became mainstream. For many, it was turning into an aesthetic rather than a countercultural movement.

On the other hand, in opposition to this dilution, reconstructionist movements began to gain momentum. This was a turn toward seeking the spirit of "Ancient Europe," driven by a disillusionment with progressing modernism and a longing to draw strength directly from distant ancestors. For many, it was a "return to earth" after decades of psychedelic trips—a search for solid, historical ground beneath their feet.

I love to watch TV at night and tonight is Castle night!! My favorite Castle episode, The Nose, was on tonight so I'm posting about it because my blog is about me and what I like, and this is something I enjoy immensely...

I love this character, Mia Laszlo!! She has hyperosmia, which is an extremely heightened sense of smell. She works with Castle to sniff out the guilty party who committed the murder she witnessed. They make a very fun pair of crime solvers!! I love her process to decontaminate Castle so he will not smell and he can go into her apartment!!🤣🤣🤣

She creates scents for perfumes and colognes and the like...

Castle wants her to go to the 12th precinct with him to sniff out the culprit, but she refused so he farts to get her out of her apartment!! 🤣🤣🤣 Her reaction is hilarious 😂

She then participates in a smell line up... Castle finds that so fascinating that he has to be pulled away...

They then pursue a lead together at a car dealership....

In mid-February, Trump administration leaders received a desperate warning from their diplomats posted in Vietnam, one of the most important American partners in Asia. Workers were in the middle of cleaning up the site of an enormous chemical spill, the Bien Hoa air base, when Secretary of State Marco Rubio abruptly halted all foreign aid funding. The shutdown left exposed open pits of soil contaminated with dioxin, the deadly byproduct of Agent Orange, which the American military sprayed across large swaths of the country during the Vietnam War. After Rubio’s orders to stop work, the cleanup crews were forced to abandon the site, and, for weeks, all that was covering the contaminated dirt were tarps, which at one point blew off in the wind. And even more pressing, the officials warned in a Feb. 14 letter obtained by ProPublica, Vietnam is on the verge of its rainy season, when torrential downpours are common. With enough rain, they said, soil contaminated with dioxin could flood into nearby communities, poisoning their food supplies. Hundreds of thousands of people live around the Bien Hoa air base, and some of their homes abut the site’s perimeter fence, just yards from the contaminated areas. And less than 1,500 feet away is a major river that flows into Ho Chi Minh City, population 9 million. “Simply put,” the officials added, “we are quickly heading toward an environmental and life-threatening catastrophe.” -They received no response from Washington, according to three people familiar with the situation.
