Q&A
Archive for the 'Q&A' Category Alchemist’s coded handbook? Witch’s spells from an alien world? We love the Voynich manuscript mystery so much that we cannot resist posting about it again this month!

Perhaps the staff of New Scientist will see it when our time comes but, until then, Lake Natron in northern Tanzania does a pretty good job of illustrating Dante’s vision.

A few years ago, we focused on reincarnation related content here, so for old time’s sake let’s revisit that theme. The personal account below was written by blog editor Emily, and below that is an introduction to an interesting article about near-death experiences.
