Gaining insight into our deeper selves through the use of divination tools to help decide future actions has preoccupied mankind since ancient times. In Europe, cards which became known as Tarot have been used to map the soul and predict the future since the 16th century. The 78 cards in the Tarot deck each has its own imagery, symbolism and story. This beautiful hand-bound edition showcases each card from the Rider-Waite set, the one most commonly used by Tarot readers. Practitioners believe that the 22 Major Arcana cards represent life's karmic and spiritual lessons, and the 56 Minor Arcana cards reflect the trials and tribulations of everyday life. Tarot offers an elegantly presented, concise guide to the 78 cards, from number 0 The Fool - who represents unlimited potential, through The Hermit - who represents a break from everyday life, to number 21 The World - which indicates a sense of wholeness, completion and fulfilment.

It gives me great pleasure to be able to present these teachings through my good friend and colleague Martelo - a wonderful, extraordinary medium. I know how difficult it has been while writing this book, having disturbance with his vision, so I am therefore sympathetic for him in the way he has kept to his bargain in letting me bring the knowledge of the afterlife to be installed in print. I hope he may be able to finish this documentary without having any disabling moments. The Hierarchy on a higher plane is sending healing rays to him at this moment. I know Martelo, being an initiate of the fifth degree, will come through. We have been close together for a long time and know each other very well indeed. I would like to finish this on a better note if possible. Don't give up because you think nothing is happening, you may get a surprise out of the blue which will prepare you for the next step ahead, and see what we all can learn in the process. Once again, I am delighted to be able to be asked to come to the Earth plane for a short period. Always remember you are never alone, even in the silence in which we dwell. Waiting for the right time and the right person to communicate with us is why we do not rush in when we see someone aspiring; we wait and have patience until the time is right.

Mother Shipton, alias Ursula Sonthiel is generally supposed to have been the second greatest English seeress, after the legendary Merlin, but it is certain that her prophecies were added to in the 19th century by a Mr Charles Hindley. The problem of authenticity grew more puzzling with the publication of even more 'Shipton' prophecies by 'Nexus' magazine. The author is convinced that despite these additions, at least 50 years and probably as much as 170 years worth are still missing. This work was written long before the Nexus prophecies were published and not only fills the gap, but goes far beyond it, as the reader will discover. We await the criticism, attacks and cries of outrage that will surely be our lot, with amused anticipation.
