Who is this divinity pregnant with the power of Good and Intellect? Why does she emerge from light as our Mother spreading joy, dispelling sorrow? She is light; a light that travels billions of years to fill our eyes with knowledge, our bellies with food, and our limbs with warmth.

A theurgy that acknowledges the panpsychism that wends its way from Thales to Plato to Neoplatonism through Schopenhauer and Nietzsche is the same as that of Whitehead, Bergson, and James.

Our destiny lies in the future, not the past. As amazing discoveries come to light about the true nature of our innermost minds, we will mold and fuse these into a spirituality that supports and guides us to our destiny in the stars.

18yo girl drowned in a pond in the Netherlands by her own father for removing hijab

The victim was 18-year-old Ryan al Najjar, who lived in the Netherlands. In May 2024, she was bound with duct tape, strangled and left alive in shallow water, where she drowned. A Dutch court found that her father and two brothers had planned and carried out the murder together.

The motive was described by the court as family “honour.” Her family strongly objected to her wish not to wear a headscarf, her contact with boys, and especially a TikTok livestream in which she appeared without a headscarf and spoke about her family. The court classified the case as both honour-related violence and femicide.

In January 2026:
Her father received 30 years in prison in absentia after fleeing to Syria.
Each brother received 20 years for participating in the planned murder.
All three have appealed the convictions, so the appeals process is ongoing.

Incest Allowed in Islam

While it’s true that this is a position held only by one of the four main schools in Sunni Islam, it’s a fruit of the same poisonous thinking that manifests in other less obvious ways.

One reader writes of my book: “Loved this. Inspired, I tried to buy your book which wasn’t physically available in my country, so, disappointed, I downloaded the Kindle. So glad I did—I consumed it in one sitting —like a hymn, a sermon, a cosmic trip. Hekate, mother of the theurgists, guide me.”
