By Patrick Molina and Marlon Bedoy Photos by Marlon Bedoy On Oct. 15th, Tucson’s very own Rialto Theatre hosted the event “Twin Peaks: Conversation with the Stars,” a multi-city tour celebrating the iconic series by David Lynch and Mark Frost. The tour kicked off in August and included cities such as Boston, Denver and Seattle to name a few. As the doors opened around 5:50 p.m., the energy of the crowd was already vivid.  Fans showed a huge appreciation for the show and what it discusses. Chrestine Clawley described the show as  “...an amazing, timeless series with themes of, you know, philosophy, psychology, spirituality and the occult…” The show is still bringing new fans, like Ethan Kiggins who first watched it six months before the event.  Right when ente...

What makes his story even more remarkable is that he's largely self-taught in both racing and automotive repair.  "I just started figuring things out on my own," Russell said of his ea...

By Rory Archer TUCSON, ARIZ. — In the spring, I often sat on my back patio late at night, working on my astronomy project: tracking the movement of the sky across hours, days and weeks. For me, this meant going out around 2 a.m. and drawing a projection of the moon’s location throughout the week. This task became much more enticing once I noticed a black cat that would often cross my yard at that hour, nearly every night. Even after I finished my project, I often asked my roommate to let me know if he was going outside to smoke, so I could go with him to leave cat food out. It started out as an occasional sighting of a black cat, and slowly became a nightly appearance of different cats. In the summer, an orange cat would often curl up by my feet as I read, and in the fall, a fluff...

By Ruby Maldonado Hi, everyone! Welcome to The Witching Weekly! Since there was no article last week, I’ll add in a few more things to today’s! We’ll have a tarot reading, like usual, and for the craft/spell this week, I’ll talk about setting up an altar, and how to choose items depending on who you’re dedicating it to.  This week’s reading was a little bit strange—I chose to do something simple, another “Week Ahead Spread,” and like usual, dedicate it to a reader. I usually have at least three of the four symbols present, but today I only had two of them: coins (pentacles) and swords. Whoever this reading is for is currently struggling with money and their mental health, even if it’s just a momentary lapse. The good thing about tarot is that it is supposed to show you somet...
