375 years after Jeanne Mance became one of the co-founders of Montréal, the city elected its first female Mayor. It was a historic night as Valérie Plante, the leader of “Projet Montréal”, pulled off an upset and was elected 45th Mayor of Montréal. She defeated one-term incumbent Denis Coderre, making it the first time since the 1960s a sitting mayor was denied a second term. For months leading up to the campaign and for most of the campaign, nobody taught she had a chance. However, Plante is one for pulling…

Bearded Dragon

Have you always wanted a dragon? Look no further than the bearded dragon, one of the closest approximations to the mythical monsters of lore. These reptiles originated from Australia, where they climbed fence posts and had a large territory to themselves. Males have multiple females in their territory that they breed with, and females can lay upwards of 20 eggs per litter.  The bearded dragon gets its name from its beard; when they feel threatened, their beard turns black and puffs out.    A tamed bearded dragon can eat a variety…

Humanity has done a lot of stuff. A lot of advancement, a lot of new technologies, but these developments have side effects. We took from our surroundings to make tools that enhance our senses. However, along the way, we became disconnected with nature. We refined methods of production so that everybody has the world at their fingertips, but we didn’t realize that the path we were following had consequences. We are an extension of nature, and to think that we are something that can conquer it has some pretty drastic…

Photo By: Andrianna Kapralios   Black Cat There can’t be meaning   It floats here inside, the burning I’m feeling. Paths into the shadows, my mind always takes, Will emotion never truly appear? A burning sensation is floating here.   Perched upon the razor’s edge, I waltz towards this cold cliff’s ledge. Before my Self, a warm canyon beckons, I fall, and to reason I deafen.   In search of color, I find but darkness which conceals, It always spells doom, for the one who feels! This time is different,…

What Are Tarot Cards?

newspaper 0 comment

Origins There is no one origin story for Tarot cards, and their true origins are unknown. The cards borrow designs, symbolism and wisdom from many sources, including alchemy, Ancient Egypt, Ancient Rome and Chinese mythology. The most common modern deck is called the Waite pack, named after Arthur Edward Waite who in 1891 commissioned artist Pamela Coleman-Smith to draw the pack for him. This version of the Tarot deck was the first to include images and meanings for the Minor Arcana. It wasn’t until the 1960’s that Tarot’s popularity soared…

What’s the deal with: Lucifer Morningstar – “The Sandman Presents: Lucifer”

BeNjamyn Upshaw-Ruffner 0 comment

  In the comic: “The Sandman Presents: Lucifer” (three issue mini-series from 1999), Mike Carey presents an intricate, and at times, empathetic portrayal of the devil. The basic plot is that the once-lord-of-hell Lucifer has resigned from his post, in order to retire as a jazz bar owner in L.A. until one day, the Angel Amenadiel offers Lucifer a deal to work as a third-party on behalf of Heaven. His ensuing adventure on earth tasks him with destroying ‘the voiceless gods’: born from the minds of proto-humans without language or…
