July 26Born 1875 - CARL JUNG, Swiss psychiatrist born (d. 1961) Jung's unique and broadly influential approach to psychology has emphasized understanding the psyche through exploring the worlds of dreams, art, mythology, world religion and philosophy. Although he was a theoretical psychologist and practicing clinician for most of his life, much of his life's work was spent exploring other realms, including Eastern and Western philosophy, alchemy, astrology, sociology, as well as literature and the arts. His most notable contributions include his concept of the psychological archetype, the collective unconscious, and his theory of synchronicity. Jung emphasized the importance of balance and harmony. He cautioned that modern humans rely too heavily on science and logic and would benefit from integrating spirituality and appreciation of the unconscious realm. It is for this reason that Jungian ideas are not typically included in curriculum of most major universities' psychology departments, but are occasionally explored in humanities departments. 1943 - MICK JAGGER, English musician, born (The Rolling Stones) Best known as the lead singer of the English rock band The Rolling Stones he is indisputably regarded one of the greatest front men in the history of rock and roll, and has a stage presence that is largely inimitable. Jagger has become well known over the years for his high profile relationships. At last count, he has seven children by four different women, and has been the subject of many scandals over the years. He was also rumored to have been lovers…or was at least caught in bed with…David Bowie. Noteworthy  1991 - PAUL "PEEWEE HERMAN" REUBENS is arrested in a Sarasota, Florida theater for exposing himself. After the arrest Reubens drifted from public view. He used the arrest as a chance to escape Pee-wee and play other roles as Paul Reubens. But in late summer 2006 Paul announced that Pee-wee’s Playhouse: The Movie has been green-lighted. The film went into production around February 2007. In October 2006, Reubens made a rare public appearance at an east coast fan convention, "Chiller Theater," with "Pee-Wee’s Playhouse" co-star, Lynne Marie Stewart. There he donned a gray suit with a bold red necktie, and signed autographed pictures and other memorabilia and posed for photographs with fans. For the first time in fifteen years, Reubens appeared in full character as Pee-wee at the Spike TV Guys Choice Awards in June 2007 to present the Funniest MF Award. 2006 - Supreme Court in Washington State upheld the state ban on marriage equality.

IT'S TIME TO PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR HISTORY IS… "The White Crane Institute and its numerous projects like White Crane Journal, Daily GayWisdom: This Day In Gay History and White Crane Books have provided for me an amazing centering experience about what it means to be a part of the gay tribe in these trying times, when my very existence and depth have been reduced by the commercialized "gay world" to just another "consumer choice." White Crane is about the genuine fullness of us, in an increasingly bland and corporatized daily environment. It is about our often secret, and incredibly beautiful past and the real excitement of our future. We need to support WCI the way we support other vital resources in our lives, and keep it going, growing, and alive. I can't see any other way to live." ~ Perry Brass, author of How to Survive Your Own Gay Life , The Manly Art of Seduction, King of Angels, and many other books. Support White Crane Institute White Crane Institute is regularly in need of financial assistance. Our operating needs are relatively small, but they are persistent. Web maintenance costs, electricity, phones, postage. The crash of the only computer that enables this work to happen was an expensive proposition to retrieve and replace. We are now able to bring Arthur Evans’ landmark Witchcraft and the Gay Counterculture to print again, with the addition of his follow-up to that work, Moon Lady Rising. Therefore, in the spirit of asking for what we need, we are, again, asking that you consider making a contribution now. $20.00, $50.00, $100, or $1000…every donation helps. We continue to not look to advertising money because we respect Gay men as something more than a mere marketing niche. We need a little from you. And as always it is tax deductible. We're a 501(c)3) educational corporation. Many of you have been consistently generous and we thank you.
