When the Ocean Started Watching Us Back

 


When the Ocean Started Watching Us Back

The ocean has always felt endless. We throw things into it and believe they disappear. Trash. Secrets. Mistakes. But what if the sea never forgot any of it? Tide of the Unclean was born from that question. This story begins in a quiet coastal town where something impossible happens: bodies wash ashore perfectly preserved, wrapped in translucent plastic, smiling as if they chose it. No storms. No warning. Just the tide returning what humanity tried to throw away.


At first, the people are afraid. Then they start to change. Trash becomes sacred. Plastic becomes protection. The ocean is no longer just polluted—it is responding. Shrines appear. A movement forms. And what starts as fear slowly turns into belief. The scariest part isn’t the sea itself. It’s how easy it is for people to accept something terrifying when it promises safety, order, and forever.


This book isn’t about monsters jumping out of the dark. It’s about quiet horror. The kind that creeps in through dreams, habits, and smiles that last a little too long. It asks what happens when giving up feels easier than fighting back. When being sealed feels better than being human. And when “clean” no longer means alive.


Tide of the Unclean is a gothic psychological horror story about pollution, worship, and the cost of surrender. It’s eerie, unsettling, and painfully close to reality. The ocean didn’t rise in anger. It rose in understanding. And it learned us better than we ever knew ourselves.

How the Glow of Christmas Lights Can Actually Change Your Life (and Your Energy!)

 How the Glow of Christmas Lights Can Actually Change Your Life (and Your Energy!) Have you ever looked at a strand of Christmas lights and felt… calmer? Happier? Almost like they’re alive? You’re not imagining it. Light has power — real, emotional, and even spiritual power. And in The Magick of Christmas Lights, author Matthew Petchinsky shows us how those twinkling bulbs can do more than decorate — they can heal, protect, and manifest. This isn’t your average holiday guide. It’s a journey through what our ancestors already knew: light is sacred. Long before electricity, people used candles and fire to call in warmth, love, and safety through the coldest months. Now, every strand of lights is like a spell made visible — a ritual we already practice without realizing it. Matthew reveals how different colors carry different kinds of energy. Red brings courage. Green calls prosperity. Gold invites joy. Blue brings peace. Even multicolored lights balance everything — like harmony in b...
