Create your own unique tarot deck and discover the secrets of the past,
present and future with Colour Your Tarot.
Using tarot cards is a time-honoured practice of foreseeing what is to
come, as well as interpreting past and current events. Colouring a
tarot echoes a mystical tradition as secret as the origins of the cards
themselves. By focusing on every detail of a card’s design, you will
connect with its symbols and grasp its messages in a reading. Colour
Your Tarot includes two full decks of tarot cards, one in
black-and-white and one in full colour, so you can follow the colour
cards as a guide or choose your own shades and schemes. Also included
is a 64-page full-colour illustrated companion book with card spreads
and meanings. Guided by this vibrant oracle, you will discover the rich
symbols of the tarot and be able to create a deck that is entirely
unique and personal to you.
The Magic Numbers of Dr. Matrix draws us into the intriguing and
fascinating world of numbers and number theory. "Numbers, you know,
have a mysterious life of their own. It would be naive," claims Dr.
Matrix, "to suppose that there is such a thing as a randomly
arranged group of symbols." Consider, for example, the decimal
expansion of pi. Long considered a random series, it is actually
rich with remarkable patterns. "Correctly interpreted," says Dr.
Matrix, "pi conveys the entire history of the human race." Dr.
Matrix uncovers patterns and signs that will astound you. As Dr.
Matrix demonstrates, we need only look to find clues all around us
in number and language "coincidences" that will unlock the
mysteries of the universe. In The Magic Numbers of Dr. Matrix,
Martin Gardner introduces us to this extraordinary man, Dr. Irving
Joshua Matrix. Believed by many to be the greatest numerologist who
ever lived, Dr. Matrix claims to be a reincarnation of Pythagoras.
He was, however, completely unknown to the scientific community
until Gardner wrote about him in Scientific American in 1960. That
first report and the subsequent ones that appeared with each new
encounter are collected here in their entirety. We follow Dr.
Matrix as he roams the world and assumes new identities and
discovers new manifestations of the power of numbers to explain and
predict and entertain. Always at his side is his beautiful Eurasian
daughter, Iva, who abets and protects her father in each new
adventure. As you delve into The Magic Numbers of Dr. Matrix, you
will master some significant combinatorial mathematics and number
theory. The many remarkable puzzles of Dr. Matrix are all clearly
answered in the back of the book, together with commentary and
references by Gardner to enlighten the uninitiated and entertain
the inquiring reader.
Tarot cards are an important, intuitive device that can be used for
insight into virtually every aspect of life. While the Tarot has
fascinated people for hundreds of years, its ancient symbolism can
be difficult to understand in modern times. Tarot Insights contains
specific advice for improving relationships, problem-solving, and
goal planning through a self-help approach. This book contains
psychological and spiritual guidance; however, Tarot Insights has
the added dimension of providing self-help techniques to help the
reader transcend her problems. The techniques outlined in this book
provide guidance for important concerns such as career or money
matters. Many of the chapters contain specific examples of how the
revealing insights provided by the timeless medium of the Tarot
connect with everyday experience. Tarot Insights is the perfect
guide for the growing number of people who use the Tarot as a
self-help tool.

In many ways, Tariq Karim is an average teenager. Fourteen can a
confusing age for a boy on the verge of becoming a man, as changes
morph his body and mind into something even he doesn't recognize.
Tariq's experience, however, is very different from his friends.
Along with the many physical changes he's going through, he's also
discovering that he has some strange, new abilities-and he's got
good reason to keep these abilities a secret.
He and his widowed mother are on the run, hiding from enemies he
can't really understand or predict. Tariq and his mom have finally
found what they hope is a safe haven in a small, quiet town. His
mother has even found romance and a great new teaching job. Things
seem to be settling down, but then Tariq starts getting
premonitions and warnings that frighten him.
One day, one such premonition impels him to stop his friend's
father from crossing the train tracks at precisely the right
moment-saving his life. Tariq's secret is out, and his life will
never be the same. So begins his fascinating and frightening
journey to purpose. And suddenly, the quiet and anonymous life he
and his mother were building come crashing to an end as their
enemies find them again.
For a young man who wants to find his place in the world, are
these gifts a blessing or a curse?

GYPSY RICKWOOD'S FORTUNE TELLING BOOK. By Gypsy Rickwood. This
intriguing book on the mystic art of fortune telling was first
published in the 1920s, and is very scarce in its first edition.
OBSCURE BOOKS PRESS has now re-published it using the original
text. Gypsy Rickwood wrote this book "for the English speaking
public in the hope that would give good counsel to many, and some
amusement to those who regard it simply as a game." His method is a
very old one, practiced by wandering tribes of gypsies long before
it was ever set down roughly on paper, and the answers to the
questions have been slightly modernized by the original translator.
One hundred and twenty five pages are divided into the fifty four
questions which a fortune teller is most likely to be asked. These
are almost always on four main subjects: - Concerning Life. -
Concerning Love. - Concerning Chance. - The Last Lap. (Old age and
the distant Future.) The gypsy's reply depends upon a turn of the
card, with some 3000 answers listed in the book. The author
emphasises that the accuracy of the answers depends largely on the
sincerity of the questioner. If questions of an unsuitable nature
are asked, the answers should be given in the same frivolous vein
This is a most entertaining little book which will prove both a
source of amusement to some and thought provoking to others. "From
the truth to a lie is but a hands-breadth." Romany Proverb.
This entertaining modern twist to the classic tarot combines
authenticity with a feline sense of humor in a complete deck for

experiences, and first-hand experience from the authors' own active
participation in many alternative religious rituals and ceremonies,
this unique book reveals how magic can be a universal phenomenon
that crosses cultural, historical, and spatial boundaries. The work
is organized in five sections that embrace several broad themes:
indigenous magical and shamanic practices; medieval witchcraft;
sorcery and hermetic magic; and contemporary Western magical
practices, including the role of sexuality, trance, and meditation.

realities, and the employment of all the senses, while the final
section discusses contemporary issues of ecology and cybermagic.

result from a magical encounter, providing engaging and accessible

opaque world of magic and occultism, consciousness studies, and
imaginal and disembodied realms will appreciate the book's content
at a deeper level. Highlights techniques, rituals, and training of
magical practitioners Counterpoints the rational with the emotional
and compares the past with the present Takes a cross-cultural,
historical, and anthropological approach that is accessible to all

indigenous peoples across the world
