The DC comic book series will return to Netflix with many surprises. By Hannah Jeon for Good Housekeeping When the highly-anticipated show The Sandman first premiered on Netflix in August, the dark fantasy series quickly became one of the biggest shows of 2022 and achieved a major milestone: It amassed over 127.5 million hours watched in its first full week, leading it to soar to no. 1 in the streaming giant's top 10 rankings. Clearly, fans can't get enough of The Sandman — and it's easy to see why. The long-awaited Netflix show, based on writer Neil Gaiman's best-selling DC comic book series of the same name, tells the complex, fantastical tale of Morpehus (Tom Sturridge), the King of Dreams, as he sets out to restore order to his realm after escaping captivity from an occult group.

A new survey revealed that 89% of people who believe in witchcraft consider themselves Christian or Muslim. By Judy Siegal-Itzkovich for The Jerusalem Post Beliefs in witchcraft – the ability of certain people to intentionally cause harm via supernatural means – have been documented all over the world, going back to the 16th century, when King James I of Scotland’s fear of witchcraft began stirring up national panic resulting in the torture and death of thousands.  But it still exists in the 21st century and does not conflict with a belief in God and religiosity, according to a new study published under the title “Witchcraft beliefs around the world: An exploratory analysis” in the journal PLOS ONE by economics Prof. Boris Gershman of American University in Washington, DC His newly compiled dataset quantitatively captures witchcraft beliefs in countries around the world, enabling the investigation of key factors associated with such beliefs.
