Find precise answers to your urgent questions-The Big Book of Tarot
Meanings takes you beyond typical, generic card meanings by
breaking each card down into eight interpretation categories.
Interpreting card meanings is the most exciting aspect of reading
tarot. However, it is also the most challenging, especially if you
are new to the art. For example, basic tarot interpretation would
have you understand that The Lovers card has to do with
relationships-but what if your question had to do with career or
health? How are you left to interpret the meaning? The Big Book of
Tarot Meanings solves these dilemmas by breaking down each card
into the eight most-queried categories, starting with Beginnings
and ending with Outcome, with a meaning for each category, upright
and reversed. No longer will you have to vaguely extrapolate
meaning and insight for diverse questions from the same generic
description often given in other beginner tarot books. In addition
to providing fine-tuned interpretations, The Big Book of Tarot
Meaningssolves a second common question that comes with a tarot
reading-How do I apply this knowledge to my everyday life?-by
giving you an action item for each meaning, upright and reversed. A
summary of what this comprehensive tarot meaning book offers: A
welcoming introduction to the basics of tarot and instructions for
using the book Meanings for all 78 cards of the Major and Minor
Arcana, with the various interpretations for each card organized
into eight categories-Beginnings, Career, Money, Love, Friends
& Family, Health, Higher Guidance, and Outcome-both upright and
reversed An action item for every meaning, upright and reversed, to

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

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

What do dice and gods have in common? What is the relationship
between dice divination and dice gambling? This interdisciplinary
collaboration situates the tenth-century Chinese Buddhist
"Divination of Mahesvara" within a deep Chinese backstory of
divination with dice and numbers going back to at least the 4th
century BCE. Simultaneously, the authors track this specific method
of dice divination across the Silk Road and into ancient India
through a detailed study of the material culture, poetics, and
ritual processes of dice divination in Chinese, Tibetan, and Indian
contexts. The result is an extended meditation on the unpredictable
movements of gods, dice, divination books, and divination users
across the various languages, cultures, and religions of the Silk
Road.

A follow up to MJ Cullinane's bestselling Crow Tarot, this oracle deck
offers readers a way to connect and learn from these highly
intelligent, captivating birds.
With an ominous croaking call or foreboding flurry of black wings,
crows can appear as mystical omens. We barely notice them, perched on
tree branches and rooftops, dark sentinels carefully observing our
world through intelligent black eyes.
But if you look beyond their 'murderous' reputation you will find that
crows form deep bonds, mourn at crow 'funerals', play, offer gifts to
humans they like and exact justice by dive-bombing humans who have
wronged them – remembering the faces and cars of human friends and foes
alike. Their perceptiveness and resourcefulness allow them to flourish
in forests, towns and even cities alongside us.
Each card in this oracle deck offers a message to the reader from the
fascinating behaviour of these birds, from the sacred space of a nest
to the community of a murder of crows, from the gift of a shiny trinket
to the curiosity of a city crow peering into a human home.
