WOOLPIT, England - The story of the green children of Woolpit concerns two [Fairy] children of unusual skin color who reportedly appeared in the village of Woolpit in Suffolk, England, sometime in the 12th century, perhaps during the reign of King Stephen (r. 1135–1154). The odd children, found to be brother and sister, were of generally normal appearance except for the green color of their skin. They spoke in an unknown language and would eat only raw broad beans. Eventually, they learned to eat other [surface human] food and lost their green color, but the boy was sickly and died around the time of his and his sister's baptism. More

The danger of seeing what others don’t: Alan Watts

(Alan Watts Daily Wisdom) Oct. 10, 2025: Alan Watts Collection. Ever feel like you see too much? In this profound lecture, let's explore the experience of the highly perceptive person—the one who walks into a room and instantly feels the unspoken tensions, hidden sorrows, and secret truths.

Rebel Truth "All I Know" (Not So Quiet on the Western Front)

This Alan Watts talk reveals why this "gift" of clear-seeing (vipassana, "insight") can be the most dangerous thing you'll ever possess.

Discover the four hidden dangers of being deeply intuitive:

1. the profound isolation of living in a different reality,
2. the impossible choice between speaking truth and losing yourself,
3. the pain of becoming a target for those who prefer illusion, and
4. the devastating risk of losing your own identity by absorbing the emotions of others.

I can even meditate in city traffic and chaos.

This isn't about being "too sensitive"; it's about navigating a world that isn't ready for your clarity.

This is a complete guide to transforming this potential curse back into a gift. Learn the art of "conscious distance"—how to see clearly without the compulsion to fix, how to protect your energy, and how to hold your awareness as a quiet strength rather than an unbearable burden.

Stop trying to WAKE UP the world and, instead, learn to live peacefully with your own eyes wide open.

Hollywood's Halloween vs. Irish Samhain

University of Edinburgh, Oct. 31, 2016

Samhain (SOW-in) or Sauin is a Gaelic festival in Ireland that falls on the Mexican Day of the Dead, Nov. 1st, marking the end of the harvest season and beginning of winter or the "darker half" of the year [1].

It is also the Irish and Scottish Gaelic name for November. Celebrations begin on Halloween, the evening of October 31st, since the Celtic day began and ended at sunset [1].

Plus, it holds a much deeper and meaningful message than anyone might realize. Let's take a look at the full story behind the creation of this song and uncover its true meaning.
