The beloved literary iconoclast delivers a fresh twenty-first
century primer on tarot that can be used with any deck. While tarot
has gone mainstream with a diverse range of tarot decks widely
available, there has been no equally mainstream guide to the
tarot-one that can be applied to any deck-until now. Infused with
beloved iconoclastic author Michelle Tea's unique insight, inviting
pop sensibility, and wicked humor, Modern Tarot is a fascinating
journey through the cards that teaches how to use this tradition to
connect with our higher selves. Whether you're a committed seeker
or a digital-age skeptic-or perhaps a little of both-Tea's
essential guide opens the power of tarot to you. Modern Tarot
doesn't require you to believe in the supernatural or narrowly
focus on the tarot as a divination tool. Tea instead provides
incisive descriptions of each of the 78 cards in the tarot
system-each illustrated in the charmingly offbeat style of
cartoonist Amanda Verwey-and introduces specially designed
card-based rituals that can be used with any deck to guide you on a
path toward radical growth and self-improvement. Tea reveals how
tarot offers moments of deep, transformative connection-an
affirming, spiritual experience that is gentle, individual, and
aspirational. Grounded in Tea's twenty-five years of tarot wisdom
and her abiding love of the cards, and featuring 78 black and white
illustrations throughout, Modern Tarot is the ultimate introduction
to the tradition of the tarot for millennial readers.

George Combe (1788 1858) rose from humble origins to tour widely in
Europe and the United States, lecturing on phrenology, the popular
Victorian belief that character traits were determined by the
configuration of the skull. He founded Britain's first
Phrenological Society in 1820 in Edinburgh, and was considered the
foremost phrenologist of the nineteenth century. These volumes,
first published in 1841, contain Combe's account of a phrenological
lecture tour he undertook in the United States between 1838 and
1840. In the form of a journal, Combe describes the social and
political institutions of the United States, and provides vivid
descriptions of American society and customs. He also provides
accounts of phrenological practice and the lectures he presented.
These volumes provide a wealth of information on nineteenth-century
society in America, and invaluable details concerning the practice
of phrenology. Volume 1 covers his stay in New York and New
England.

Kuan Yin, the Compassionate One or literally 'the one who sees and
hears the cries of the world' is the principal goddess in the
eastern firmament. She is centuries older than the Christian Virgin
Mary, but not unconnected with her in that in most illustrations
she holds a rosary, suggesting purification of the cycle of birth
and death, and a willow branch, a symbol of Buddhist virtues. Kuan
Yin's image can be found wherever there are Chinese or Japanese
speaking people in the world - in homes, restaurants, workplaces,
small urban temples, Buddhist, Taoist and Shinto shrines - and the
ritual of consulting her has brought solace, hope and insight to
countless people. It continues to be an integral part of the lives
of tens of millions of people throughout the East today. Stephen
Karcher's interpretation of this ancient text presents 'The 100
Poems of the Goddess', to be as relevant today as they were 1000
years ago, leading the reader to answers to specific questions
about family, professional success, travel, health and love.

This innovative Tarot deck and comprehensive guidebook offer a
seamless integration of Kabbalistic, alchemical, and
Judeo-Christian mysticism and provide a scholarly synthesis of
occult knowledge and Rosicrucian mysteries. It contains a detailed
examination of the symbolism within the Tarot and elucidates the
connections between the Tarot and its associations with the Hebrew
alphabet contained in the Sefer Yetzirah. It traces the separate
evolutions of Alchemy, the Kabbalah, and Tarot and demonstrates how
they were united into a single and complete system of mysticism. It
reveals the secret interpretations of the Rider-Waite Tarot deck,
by examining their other works, and shows how the designs of the
cards line up with the 32 Paths of Wisdom of the Kabbalah to form
the structure of the occult Tarot. Includes 78 art cards and
guidebook.
Dowsing is both an art and a science, connecting the rational,
conscious mind with intuition. To become a dowser is an exciting
journey of self-discovery, balancing and integrating the mind and
spirit. This unique practical guide shows how you can use simple
tools such as pendulums to apply dowsing to all aspects of your
life - at home, in the workplace, in the garden, and in your
community, to heal yourself and others. It includes working with
earth energies, geopathic stress, place memory, power focus, chi
paths, and auras, and the step-by-step dowsing sequences include
assessing food vitality, choosing flower essences, and remedies to
treat illness and improve health.
The Numinous Tarot Guide is an interactive, self-study guide that
unlocks the meaning of the cards in an instant - and in a way that
is deeply personal to every reader of every level. Designed to be
used with any deck, a reading for each of the 78 cards offers a
modern, evolved interpretation of the card's meaning, along with
prompts and journal exercises, to help guide the reader into a
space of deep reflection. The traditional way to interact with the
Tarot is to ask a question and then pull a card to divine the
'answer'-this guide instead offers the invitation to choose a card
first, and then use it as a portal to a deeper level of
self-enquiry, using the power of story to help discover why you
think the way you think, and do the things you do. The Numinous
Tarot Guide offers both a complete compendium of practical Tarot
knowledge, and a treasured space for personal reflection. Including
insights into the symbolism, mythology and the real-life relevance
of each card, it is an indispensable tool for anybody invested in
forging a deeper relationship with their favourite deck, as well as
an ideal gift for mystical mavens, self-help fans and Tarot readers
everywhere.
Do the secrets of life lie hidden in numbers? Mysteries and Secrets
of Numerology investigates the ancient and widespread belief
that numbers have unexplained powers to influence our lives,
everything we do, and everything around us, so that, as the
brilliant scientist and philosopher Sir James Hopwood Jeans wrote,
"The Great Architect of the Universe now begins to appear as a pure
mathematician." Numerology extends throughout the history of the
world – from Pythagoras to the mysteries of ancient Babylonia and
India, from Norse runes to Egyptian hieroglyphs and ancient Hebrew
Gematria. Names, places, and dates all seem to have mysterious
numerological significance. Some are positive and supportive;
others appear to be negative and act as warnings. Where does the
truth lie? In the face of so much global and historical evidence,
and in the light of the power of numbers in nature, science, and
technology, the secrets and mysteries of numerology are well worth
investigating.
The ancient Chinese wisdom of emperor Fu Hsi's I Ching or The Book
of Changes has served as a guide to human behaviour for millennia.
Pondering the highly visual images imparted in the hexagrams of the
I Ching, the seeker finds complex responses to questions or
situations imbedded in the multiple layers of images that must be
deciphered and applied to one's individual circumstances. Among the
I Ching's remarkable qualities is its capacity to speak universally
through lyrical allegories of the natural and human worlds.
Photographers and collaborators Janet Russek and David Scheinbaum
have long been students of the I Ching. As landscape photographers
accustomed to the teachings of the natural world, the relationship
between their work as visual artists and their personal experiences
working with the I Ching naturally led them to create this visual
companion to the hexagrams. Their photographic interpretation of
the Chinese Oracle -- featuring sixty-four duotone landscape
portraits paired with text from the I Ching -- offers an additional
metaphorical dimension to consultations with the book.
