The Akashic Way: Living Through the Lens of the Akashic Records

What if healing didn’t begin with fixing what’s broken, but with remembering who we truly are? In her transformative new book, The Akashic Way: Living Through the Lens of the Akashic Records, three-time Emmy Award-winning director and advanced Akashic Records practitioner Mary Madeiras invites readers into what she describes as a quantum divine realm — a living field that holds the imprint of every soul’s thoughts, experiences, and purpose across time.

Often described as a limitless energetic archive, the Akashic Records function like a universal quantum field where every soul leaves an imprint as it moves through lifetimes. “We can actually access our own journey — our own soul’s imprint — for every incarnation,” Madeiras explained. Through this access, she says, healing occurs not by bypassing pain, but by triggering a deep, soul-level remembering of why we are here.

Ryan Hurst to Play Kratos in Prime Video’s GOD OF WAR

Ryan Hurst has been tapped to play Kratos in Prime Video’s God of War from Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios. Hurst played Thor in PlayStation’s God of War Ragnarök, bringing established familiarity with the franchise to the role of Kratos. He was nominated for a BAFTA Award for his performance.  

Kratos Character Description: The titular character of the entire franchise, Kratos is Spartan by birth, and a god by nature. Raised in a martial culture, he rose to command armies in service of his homeland until one day he made a fateful deal with Ares, the Greek God of War, and lost his soul in exchange for being victorious in battle. Over the course of ten wildly successful games, Kratos vanquished mortals, creatures, and gods alike. In the process, he became an iconic character in pop culture, known for his stoic nature, unchallenged combat skills, and tragic past. In God of War, the live action series, his story will closely follow the path of the last two games as he deals with something new: his ten year old son Atreus. This father and son dynamic began a whole new chapter in the legendary series and will be the heartbeat of the new show. 

The Conjuring's Michael Chaves & Matthew Roberts Debut CORPSE KNIGHT

The debut issue of this intense horror fantasy series arrives in comic book shops on April 22, 2026. 

"Corpse Knight was born out of my love of dark fantasy, but it quickly became something more. It’s a story of parenthood and mortality, told through heroes, monsters, and all the shades in between,” said Michael Chaves. “I’ve been a fan of Matthew Roberts since Manifest Destiny, and I truly believe this is some of his finest work. His art is beautiful, tactile, and, when it needs to be, amazingly gruesome. Alongside Rico Renzi’s awesome color work, it’s everything you want from this kind of book.”
