Springtime and Rune Magick: The Runic Book of Days [Book Recommendation]
I'm in a position where I must bet on myself or bet on a system that may or may not take care of me. I know for a fact that if the system doesn't have art or doesn't let me create art, I'll die. I've idealized death too many times to go there again. That was another risk. Another circumstance. Another chaotic instance of thrill and torment, but at least in art that torment tears me to pieces that I can reassemble and make into a new creation. Art provides rebirth beyond death or circumstance or consequence.

Vaping Can Save Your Life
I started smoking when I was 15. I stole a pack of my father’s cigarettes and went to school. I wanted to be one of the cool kids. (This was also in the early 90s when cigarettes weren’t $12 a pack) I never thought this very pack of cigarettes would send me into a downward spiral. In hindsight, I never thought I would stop smoking, that Lung cancer was a myth and couldn’t touch me. I was a stupid kid and an even stupider young adult.

Burning Lungs
This will all seem insignificant, small, to many. There are far greater griefs in the world and in my own life. This is not a grief, though, it is the harbouring of a burden. I know what I am about to say will upset some who are close to me but I no longer wish to lead the llama on to greener pastures. No longer do I wish to be burdened with the beast. It is only thanks to someone incredibly close and special to me that the actuality of my burden was alleviated at all in the first place. We all have our cruxes, our addictions, many of which we are unable to overcome. Mine was small and insignificant and yet even for its short lived naivety, it still weighs on me to this day.

Nutrition Myths Debunked
Everywhere you look, it seems like there's a new story about how this food is good for you, this food is bad for you, you need to follow this diet, or you shouldn't eat that. But underlying all the faddishness are some basic truths about what we put into our bodies.

A Glimpse into Epilepsy
In my four years of medical schooling, one of my stand-out conversations and lessons learned was from a consultant neurologist, working within the mysterious field of brain disorders. He did not so much demand as instruct that, if I wished to pursue a career in neurology (I was toying with the idea at the time, and to an extent, and still am), I ought to “be a bit more eccentric." He told me that I should get a tattoo. So, like the impressionable medical student that I was, I did. It is a simple lightning bolt, black ink, barely noticeable. It sits behind my right ear. Very few people see it or ask about it. But it represents to me all that is magical about the brain: It represents the name my family gave to the seizures that my epileptic brother, Alfie, suffered from in childhood. It represents a step taken to make the seizures seem less medical, and hence less frightening. Fear is at the root of all that we do not understand, and medicine is a complicated field frequently underpinned by it.

Choosing the Best Time of Day to Do Yoga
The first image that comes to the mind when one thinks of yoga is or quiet mornings, with the serenity so profound and the sun warming up to a bright day. The image itself is filled with positivity that one can feel it by just thinking of it. On the other hand, for a few, yoga also could remind of the famous yoga mat, a yoga studio and a routine work out with others.

Three Dimensional Printing for Personalized Medicines
The advent of the industrial revolution brought with it innumerable horrors, alongside great advances; the very thought that humans could be transported in vehicles mobilizing at speeds greater than a horse’s canter was simply terrifying. People would surely die in transit, after all: if not of shock, then in the collisions that would ensue, when these inherently unstable and unsafe vehicles span out of control. Yet fast forward approximately two hundred years, and we now have mass-manufactured road-worthy motors for all.
