This is horrible. The Theosophical Society has had a massive influence on spirituality throughout the world. Mahatma Gandhi was deeply influenced by it. Modern astrology was shaped by it. So much that now or has been labeled New Age or metaphysical spirituality has been shaped by it.
![Image of the Thesosphical Society in Altadena near Pasadena, along with a post by Wouter J. Hanegraaff: Horrible, deeply dramatic news for anybody who cares about the preservation of Theosophical heritage.
I was just told that the entire property of the Theosophical Society in Altadena near Pasadena has been completely destroyed by the fires in Los Angeles. This was the world's largest archive of Theosophical materials, including a library with 40.000 titles, the entire archive of the history of the TS, including ca. 10.000 unpublished letters, pertaining to HPB, the Mahatmas, W.Q. Judge, G.R.S. Mead, Katherine Tingley, and G. de Purucker, membership records since 1875, art objects, and countless other irreplaceable materials. The archives also contained works of Boehme, Gichtel, donations from the king of Siam including rare Buddhist scriptures, and so on. [with thanks to Reinout Spaink for the information]
This is obviously just one part of an even much larger drama that is currently unfolding, but one that deals a devasting blow to the modern study of esotericism and of modern Theosophy more in particular. It is hard to fathom but it seems to be true.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mm6k7dx5zlvj2l5wu7eaiqhb/bafkreib2sscppfgtfctksyhgrcccgelt23gz6v2jcpeozd3uerebrjzgem@jpeg)

I was looking for a little ritual for when leaving a house. I found the usual house cleansing rituals, but nothing for when you're moving, so i did up a quick, easy fella and thought I'd share him.
The general idea should be familiar enough.

Some weeks ago, a sleepless night inspired me to try writing out the tarot spread from Agatha all along.
I am not sure how accurate it is, but i think it works.

It's finally cooled down, so we are going to watch a classic cat film about the evils of animal testing and how cats really are the best people.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.
They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.
The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants said they had housing.
Participants in Denver's basic-income program reported having more-secure housing, though results were similar in the trial and control groups.
