The enigmatic and richly illustrative tarot deck reveals a host of strange and iconic mages, such as The Tower, The Wheel of Fortune, The Hanged Man and The Fool: over which loom the terrifying figures of Death and The Devil. The 21 numbered playing cards of tarot have always exerted strong fascination, way beyond their original purpose, and the multiple resonances of the deck are ubiquitous. From T. S. Eliot and his "wicked pack of cards" in "The Waste Land" to the psychic divination of Solitaire in Ian Fleming's "Live and Let Die"; and from the satanic novels of Dennis Wheatley to the deck's adoption by New Age practitioners, the cards have in modern times become inseparably connected to the occult. They are now viewed as arguably the foremost medium of prophesying and foretelling. Yet, as the author shows, originally the tarot were used as recreational playing cards by the Italian nobility in the Renaissance. It was only much later, in the 18th and 19th centuries, that the deck became associated with esotericism before evolving finally into a diagnostic tool for mind, body and spirit. This is the first book to explore the remarkably varied ways in which tarot has influenced culture. Tracing the changing patterns of the deck's use, from game to mysterious oracular device, Helen Farley examines tarot's emergence in 15th century Milan and discusses its later associations with astrology, kabbalah and the Age of Aquarius.
Have you ever experienced an intuitive flash about a person or situation? Did you act on this feeling, or did you dismiss it because you felt it wasn't tied to reality? In this guide, author Alain Jean-Baptiste posits that this "knowing" likely came to your lost seven senses, which are hidden beyond the familiar five: sight, hearing, taste, touch and smell... Explaining how humans gather information using the basic five senses, Alain details how the cultivation of these lost senses will assist you in unlocking your intuitive abilities and how to discover your psychic abilities: The Sense of Imagination links the physical and the nonphysical senses Learn the 5 tricks for restoring the Sense of Balance to its state of equilibrium Discover 3 ways in which The Sense of Life can help you attune yourself to someones life force Recognize the 7 voices of your soul by using your Sense of Voice to better understand yourself The sense of Movement can help you better distinguish patterns and trends more precisely The Sense of Warmth can help you strengthen your relationships The Sense of Substance enables your mind to access information about objects at a distance In this guide, author Alain Jean-Baptiste uses personal experience, case studies, examples, and exercises to help you not only see, but imagine and live in a world in which communicating with the other side, seeing the future, establishing rapport more spontaneously with others, predicting economic trends, and bringing medicine to a whole new level can be a reality.
This beginner's guidebook instructs the aspiring fortune teller in the art of Cartomancy - telling fortunes with playing cards. Those knowledgeable about fortune telling can confirm that ordinary playing cards can more than satisfy the requirements for concise accuracy which underpins all good fortune telling. While it is tempting to choose instead Tarot, with its rich and varied imagery, there needn't be the complexity when a simpler, more accessible and less arcane means of fortune telling accomplishes the task of predicting the future superbly. The chapters of this guide detail the myriad methodologies afforded by the 52 cards of a pack allow for intense and accurate predictions. Different foci are examined, different circumstances isolated and read upon, and different alignments and arrangement of the cards used to benefit those eager to discover their future.
In late fifteenth century Florence, Renaissance humanists rediscovered a secret, natural language hidden in the visual wisdom of the proverb 'the eyes are the windows of the soul'. Through its magical prism, the language of eyes, faces, voices, laughs, walks, even stones, plants and animals, all became windows into the souls of other people, of oneself, of nature, and ultimately of God. Some saw in its words the perfect hieroglyphic language by which Adam had first named nature, which, when combined with the art of memory, could bring about a form of 'inner writing' or mystical self-transformation. Yet many others dismissed it as a collection of arbitrary conventions, superstitious enigmas, or 'gypsy' riddles. Embroiled in the religious persecution of the Reformation, rejected as a science during the Scientific Revolution, in the age of Enlightenment physiognomy came to be seen as nothing more than an amusing entertainment. But with the dawn of Romanticism, be it in the realms of science, religion, or poetry, some began to see that physiognomy was no game and the flame of serious interest in physiognomy was once again rekindled. Combining book history and visual history, Dr Porter reconstructs this physiognomical eye, interprets the way in which books on physiognomy were read and traces the wider intellectual, social, and cultural changes that contributed to the metamorphosis of this way of beholding oneself and the natural world from the Renaissance to the dawn of Romanticism.

A kind and generous woman, she uses her gift to help others and to make a difference in their lives. But not everyone approves of Betty's talent. Mr. Gately, her landlord, has evicted Betty from the comfortable home in which she has lived for twenty years. He claims she practices black magic and has garnered a negative reputation, which is bad for his business. In addition, she begins to receive strange phone calls, notices mysterious cars driving by her property, and observes unusual lights at night in the nearby junkyard. Indeed, Betty's year is filled with mystery, danger, sorrow, and loss. Supported by a cast of dedicated friends and clients, she confronts her challenges with aplomb. And when she shuffles and deals the tarot deck, she is surprised at what the cards have to say about her future. AUTHOR BIO

Polemon of Laodicea (near modern Denizli, south-west Turkey) was a
wealthy Greek aristocrat and a key member of the intellectual
movement known as the Second Sophistic. Among his works was the
Physiognomy, a manual on how to tell character from appearance,
thus enabling its readers to choose friends and avoid enemies on
sight. Its formula of detailed instruction and personal
reminiscence proved so successful that the book was re-edited in
the fourth century by Adamantius in Greek, translated and adapted
by an unknown Latin author of the same era, and translated in the
early Middle Ages into Syriac and Arabic. The surviving versions of
Adamantius, Anonymus Latinus, and the Leiden Arabic more than make
up for the loss of the original. |
