O termo designa tais supostas ocorrências na vida desantos e de médiuns espíritas, geralmente durante sessão espírita; levitação de móveis e outros objetos durante uma sessão também foi relatada. Levitação debruxas e outras figuras do folclore são chamadastransvecção e diz-se que envolve esfregar “pomada voadora” em seus corpos antes de voar para o sábado ( ver sábado das bruxas ). A levitação dos santos costuma ser diretamente para cima, enquanto a das bruxas tem a finalidade dinâmica de transporte.

Oral tradition

Oral tradition, the first and still most widespread mode of human communication. Far more than “just talking,” oral tradition refers to a dynamic and highly diverse oral-aural medium for evolving, storing, and transmitting knowledge, art, and ideas. It is typically contrasted with literacy, with which it can and does interact in myriad ways, and also with literature, which it dwarfs in size, diversity, and social function. The primacy of oral tradition For millennia prior to the invention of writing, which is a very recent phenomenon in the history of humankind, oral tradition served as the sole means of communication available for forming and maintaining societies and their institutions. Moreover, numerous studies—conducted on six continents—have illustrated that oral tradition remains the dominant mode of communication in the 21st century, despite increasing rates of literacy.

A fada de cada signo

Fonte https://www.mariahelena.pt/pt/news/a-fada-de-cada-signo "As fadas... eu creio nelas!", assim escreveu Antero de Quental. Envoltas em misticismo e mistério, as fadas são criaturas míticas, em cuja existência muitos acreditam, outros nem tanto. Especialmente ligadas aos antigos conhecimentos pagãos, delas se diz que vivem nas árvores, nos jardins, escondidas nas flores e nos bosques, estando sempre dispostas a ajudar quem pede o seu auxílio ou, por outro lado, a pregar partidas aos mais incautos. Acredita-se que a noite de Solstício de Verão é especialmente propícia para quem deseja ver fadas. Para isso, deverá sentar-se num jardim ou no campo e esperar pacientemente, enquanto fixa atentamente um espaço debaixo de uma das árvores de que as fadas mais gostam: o carvalho, o salgueiro, o amieiro, o ácer, ou junto a um canavial. Deverá procurar esferas luminosas, pois estas são uma das formas mais comuns de manifestação das fadas. Também poderá ouvir um suave tilintar, semelh

Astrologia Kármica - Caminhos traçados no Mapa Astral

Fonte:https://www.mariahelena.pt/pt/news/astrologia-karmica---caminhos-tracados-no-mapa-astral O Mapa Astral traduz, para aqueles que o sabem interpretar, o mais fiel retrato de cada pessoa. Nele se revelam traços e características, dons e defeitos, aptidões e debilidades, forças e fraquezas. O Mapa Astral representa o retrato do Céu no momento em que cada pessoa nasceu, apontando no trilho das estrelas que perspetivas poderá ter o seu futuro. Mas a análise astrológica vai mais além, pois descortina também a bagagem que chegou connosco no momento do nosso nascimento na Terra. Quando se fala em Astrologia Kármica, muitas pessoas que já leram ou ouviram falar sobre o assunto pensam imediatamente nos Nodos Lunares, a chamada Cabeça e Cauda do Dragão, que correspondem ao Nodo Norte da Lua – para onde vamos – e ao Nodo Sul da Lua – de onde viemos. Contudo, todo o Mapa Astral pode ser analisado à luz da Astrologia Kármica, se considerarmos que, ao escolhermos encarnar num determinado momento

Zephyrus and Hyacinthus

https://www.worldhistory.org/video/2909/eros-cupid-and-psyche-the-greek-and-roman-gods-of/ Zephyrus was the god of the west wind and the messenger of spring in Greek mythology. He was known as one of the four Anemoi, or wind gods, each of whom represented a cardinal direction and, except for Eurus, a season. Zephyrus was often thought of as the gentlest of the four, although he possessed a capacity for jealousy. In myth, Zephyrus could be both helpful and vindictive. As the bringer of spring, he was often looked upon favorably by classical writers and poets who wrote of his sweet westerly breeze. He had three different wives, depending on the story, and had offspring with each, including Balius and Xanthus, the immortal horses who pulled Achilles' chariot during the Trojan War. Zephyrus is often depicted in classical art as a handsome and winged youth. Many ancient Greek vase paintings which depict unlabeled figures of a winged god embracing a young man are often identified as Zeph
