(I'm cherry-picking Wikipedia mainly.)Looking at events and birthdays of people in history that pertain to art, music, literature, film, poetry, psychology, "magic", creative technologies, space travel, philosophies, "illumination", cosmic consciousness. With as little focus on war as possible. There will be exceptions owing to my own personal interest in a specific topic. Feel free to leave comments or suggestions. This is a work in progress.
