Explore how we search for meaning in our futures, as revealed by the divine, occult or supernatural, from the ancient prophets to the end of days. What will happen to us next? From the earliest beginnings of human civilization, people have searched for signs, patterns and clues to address the last unanswerable question. Looking into the future has obsessed human beings since written records began. As soon as communities could conceive of higher powers, they tried to look into the future. Prophets and priests have delivered divine messages. Shamans and seers have channeled spirits and interpreted visions, portents, revelations and omens. This unique and richly illustrated volume reveals the long history of the future in every human society – from Egyptian oracles, Roman augurs and Aztec omens, to Japanese divination and the active magic of Norse seers. It traces the parallels in different traditions and cultures, exploring the signs and images found in antique documents, rare books, imaginative projections and divinatory paraphernalia. The nine chapters explore extraordinary oracles from ancient Greece and western Africa, to Mesopotamia and the mountains of Tibet; we discover omens, portents and auspicious signs in indigenous societies in Asia; meet the Zoroastrian priests of Iran and astrologers of China; share dreams and visions from Australia to North America; and finally reckon with the many predictions of the end of the world, from ancient days to our present moment.

Hi everyone. I saw on Sunday, February 22, 2026 that this group had lost its organizer and I decided to take over. Thank you. — François Normandeau ⭐ The Immersion Club — From Learning French to Living It ⭐ The Immersion Club is a subgroup of The French Club, for people ready to move beyond studying French and actually live it — day after day, in a French-speaking environment. Whether you are drawn to France, Quebec, Belgium, Switzerland, Senegal, Morocco, or anywhere else in the Francophone world, this group is here to help you make that move with clarity and preparation. We focus on what immersion truly means, beyond tourism: the rhythms of daily life in another language, the small habits that build fluency, and the gradual shift from translating in your head to thinking and feeling in French. Our events introduce the different paths available, the linguistic and practical preparation involved, and the immersion experiences we are developing for our members — including organized stays, extended visits, and guided programs in different regions. The group is open to all adults aged 18 to 75. We also provide dedicated support for participants aged 50 and over, with attention to clarity, comfort, and confidence throughout the experience. What you can expect from our events: Online sessions introducing upcoming immersion programs Practical preparation for both short stays and longer immersions Conversations about life, language, and culture across the French-speaking world A space to ask questions and decide whether a given immersion is right for you This is not about visiting a place. It is about stepping into a different way of living and using the language. François Normandeau Founder, The French Club \\\

I am a native English speaker, from London, I’m fully qualified with almost 20 years experience as a teacher of English, as a Corporate Language Trainer, an Ielts Examiner, Teacher Trainer and Associate Lecturer in English for Academic Purposes. I have worked in universities, colleges of further and higher education, training centres and in-company not only in the UK but also in several other countries including the Czech Republic, Italy, Qatar, Spain and China.

We are a safe, friendly, social environment for bisexual, biromantic, pansexual/romantic, polysexual, queer, fluid or other non-monosexual people (aka. m-spec, bi+). Bi-curious / questioning people and supportive partners, friends, allies also welcome: but please learn & understand (at least) the basics - don't ask the same biphobic questions we get outside this safer space or make equivalent assumptions of anyone here. Come make bi+ friends, hang out, chat, have fun; see, learn and take part in some bi / LGBT+ culture, history, and activism; and feel part of a community in a (usually) free-to-attend, casual informal environment. 🟣 What do we do? \* Events Most are social informal chatty hangouts on weekday evenings. We've always had monthly pub drinks evening in Soho on the same fourth Thursday (18+ age limit). Online events replace in-person when necessary (via Zoom/our Discord) without the age limit; the link is set as the location (sometimes in the event description). Turnout is strong - reliably 40 or more for the in-person monthly bar socials pre-pandemic, usually 10-30ish for most other official meets, online socials tend to be smaller. Others include clubbing nights, or regular cultural events (usually run by others but listed here for us to go to as a group) - e.g. cabaret/comedy/plays. In summer, picnics and walks, and we want to get back to the occasional dinner out too. Several regular events are shared here from other London bi groups/organisers, e.g. Bi Underground, Bi Coffee, Opening Doors' Bi the Way meets, and (less-regular) the BiCHE dance club night & CaBiRet. Members can suggest events too (but we'll remove+ban spammers of irrelevant commercial events; ask first) - either you can run them or an organiser may help if they have time/motivation. We prefer you've previously attended our own events, so we both know what to expect. We also publicise, attend, and run groups / sessions at the largest local/national bi events and Prides like
