It was not long ago that phrenology was commonly dismissed with
amused contempt. However, recent scholarship now views it as one of
the most significant, if curious, social and intellectual
manifestations of the nineteenth century. It is seen as having
impinged on virtually every aspect of life, thought and belief and
is regarded as having contributed instrumentally to developments in
anthropology, criminology, medicine, psychiatry and education. Many
eminent figures of the period are also now appreciated as having
seriously occupied themselves with phrenology, from sociologists
Comte and Spencer to novelists such as Eliot and Balzac. This set
of eight volumes draws together a wealth of material crucial to the
intellectual debate over phrenology, both as a branch of mental
physiology and as a contribution to the history of philosophy. The
articles selected represent the variety of different views
throughout the nineteenth century, both pro and anti-phrenology.

Learn to Trust and Believe in Your True Power Our current world is
in chaos, with anxiety levels at an all-time high. Fear has set in
on a collective, global level. Now more than ever we need tools to
cultivate grounding and strength. To address this need comes
Shannon Kaiser's Unshakable Inner Peace Oracle Cards, an
interactive deck designed and written by acclaimed coach, teacher,
speaker, and author Shannon Kaiser. Responding to her hundreds of
thousands of loyal readers and online community, she offers here an
engaging practice tool for applying her signature teachings to our
daily lives. "We've been looking outside of ourselves and thinking
we'll find the answers there," Shannon says. "We've been
unknowingly giving our power away because we aren't taught how to
believe and trust in ourselves. So we stay stuck in a perpetual
cycle of worry and hopelessness." But we can break that cycle. The
44 energetically infused cards feature stunning designs, offering
empowering insights and practices to help us find peace and
strength amid the chaos. Draw a card whenever inspired, to connect
with your inner light, activate your deeper purpose, and become the
love and light in times of darkness. This oracle deck helps us gain
the confidence to be true to ourselves with the support of the
divine wisdom and energies all around us. Includes an in-depth
144-page guidebook with clear calls to action (Divine Assignments)

The world seems like a chaotic place right now - many things seem
out of our control, which can feel scary and unsettling. In the
Lunar Oracle, Liberty Phi teaches that harnessing the power of the
lunar phases can help you make sense of what's happening around you
and may even unleash some moon magic. Harnessing the power of the
moon can give us control over our lives. The moon is always
changing but remains constant; understanding this is something that
helps us manage change with confidence. We need to learn to
negotiate the ebb and flow of change, much like the ocean's tides
which are so influenced by the moon's gravitational pull. In this
stunning card and book box set, Liberty explains the moon phases,
moon journalling, how the moon affects each zodiac sign, and gives
details on how to use the 36 moon cards to improve your life -
whether it's when you need a little guidance, or for some everyday
inspiration. Life is never static and change always occurs; this
knowledge is our friend and not something to be feared. The Lunar
Oracle will teach you to trust the moon's constancy and its
continual disappearance and re-emergence over the course of the
lunar cycle, and will empower you to embrace the magic of the moon.
Used for self-exploration or divination, Tarot has, for more than a
500 years, been the most popular and accessible of all esoteric
tools, looming large in today's mainstream culture. Why? Because
the cards are inexpensive and easy to carry-a perfect traveling
companion and, therefore, an invitation to a journey inward and
out. Humans are drawn to playing games and feel driven to find
meaning in the chaos of paradoxical signs. The vivid iconography of
the "arcanas" speak to us like no other language, moving us to the
core, weaving through each cards a universal story, a metaphorical
pathway of transformation. This 400 page book presents for the
first time a close look at 500 years of figurative card decks
created or used for fortune telling, divinations, and oracle
purposes and will explore, one card at the time, their iconographic
roots at the cross-roads of the medieval imaginarium, Western
esoteric wisdom, folklore, and also contemporary art and pop
culture. With hundreds of images drawn from more than 100 decks,
rarely published and often forgotten in library archives, it will
offer the first visual history of tarot.
Learn the basics of how to read secret signs and symbols to provide
insight, inspiration, and direction about the future. This
accessible and beautifully designed guide includes a frameable
poster featuring popular methods of divination. Divination is the
art of extracting hidden meaning from the present by using
supernatural tools, or oracles, as guidance for the future. Some
ancient divinatory methods may seem primitive now, such as shamans
in antiquity observing animal entrails, while some methods have
remained popular throughout the ages. Diviners today still use
methods that draw on the environment, including reading runes or
cards, floromancy (reading flowers), and even conchomancy (reading
seashells). Our questions might differ from our ancestors', but we
still harbor the same basic needs and keen desire to know,
understand, and improve the future. To help you see and change it
for the better, learn: what tools you need for each method tips to
enhance any reading how best to phrase questions for the oracle
systems of interpretation how to present information in a tactful,
compassionate, empowering way and more There's something here for
every diviner, and you can use what you already have on hand for
magickal purposes. Combining elegance and expertise, this is your
essential modern guide to an ancient tradition. The In Focus series
applies a modern approach to teaching the classic body, mind, and
spirit subjects. Authored by experts in their respective fields,
these beginner's guides feature smartly designed visual material
that clearly illustrates key topics within each subject. As a
bonus, each book includes reference cards or a poster, held in an
envelope inside the back cover, that give you a quick, go-to guide
containing the most important information on the subject.
An almost obsessional use of numbers characterizes Japanese popular
culture. A wide variety of numerical formulas and strategies
provide the means for explaining events and solving problems
occurring in everyday life. These include such matters as the
choice of the name for a child, ranking in almost any game or
sport, the diagnosis and cure of illness, or the decision to accept
a new job.
"The Japanese Numbers Game" provides a general study of the whole
field of Japanese popular numeracy. It introduces, in fascinating
detail, a world of numbers in which fortune-telling, the abacus,
games involving numbers as well as curious numerical names (of both
people and places) illustrate a popular obsession with systems of
counting, calculation, and forecasting.
No understanding of Japanese popular culture is complete without
some knowledge of the use of numbers by the Japanese. Thomas
Crump's meticulous exploration of the cultural roots of these
attitudes makes this book essential for students of anthropology
and Japanese studies.
