"I believe strongly from my heart that his spirit was never released," Geronimo's great-grandson Haryln Geronimo, 61, told the National Press Club. -- Read more

Article: How St. Valentine's Day originated
8:08 PM | Author:
(RDF) Saturday the 14th marks the great festival for lovers, oddly named for an ancient saint, Valentine.

There really was a St. Valentine and in point of fact it appears there might have been two of them who perished as martyrs for the Christian faith in Roman times.

In both martyrdoms, the relics of the saint(s) were taken back to Terni for the veneration of the faithful. Many historians believe that these two accounts may simply be different versions of the same unfortunate clergyman's slaughter. -- Read more

(TheSpectrum.com) Valentine's Day is Saturday - you're welcome, all you men who forgot.

Being a student, I find myself fascinated with the origins of just about everything, and holidays are no exception.

Blog: White Spells on the Go
10:01 PM | Author:
Sadly, White Spells on the Go is the last of the White Spells series, but the one that has been the most fun to work on. I got together with my family before I started this project and we talked for a few hours about the remedies we have used over the years. We reminisced about the good spells and the not so good spells, and we decided that trial and error has always been our best teacher. Some spells were perfected, while others were tossed and never to be done or recommended again. --Read more
