REMEMBERING TRIBAL JEWISH SHAMANISM

In the ancient beginning was the Void--a place of No Thing, No Thought, No Emotion, and No Movement. It existed at the edge of Creation. From this Void the Source of All Powers began to manifest and radiate its light. And what a light! Illuminating the dark areas, shining into the deep waters; breathing life into all beings—animals, grasses, flowers and trees.

What Does Grass Have To Do With Your Diet

One of the best ways to improve our health is to eat the healthiest food we can afford. But it’s really easy to get confused about which foods are healthiest because there are so many philosophies about food that try to tell us what to eat and what not to eat.
