Let the rich world of Tamriel guide your tarot practice with this
sumptuous, illustrated deck inspired by the massively popular Elder
Scrolls V: Skyrim. Featuring deluxe custom artwork of iconic
figures in Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, this deck is a great way to
enjoy the characters and lore of this popular game. Containing both

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.

experienced prophetic dreams since she was a young girl. Now in her
late fifties, Betty is a tarot card reader extraordinaire. 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

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
Paul I. Freet is an astrologer and tarot reader. He is the author
of the poetry book, A world of Bright Burning. He lives near
Fayetteville, Pennsylvania, with his canine family: Kikki, Pubby,
Pippin, Peaches, and Foster. This is his debut novel.
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.
The present volume is the work of a team of leading Classicists
and Arabists. The main surviving versions in Greek and Latin are
translated into English for the first time. The Leiden Arabic
translation is authoritatively re-edited and translated, as is a
sample of the alternative Arabic Polemon. The texts and
translations are introduced by a series of masterly studies that
tell the story of the origins, function, and legacy of Polemon's
work, a legacy especially rich in Islam. The story of the
Physiognomy is the story of how one man's obsession with
identifying enemies came to be taken up in the fascinating
transmission of Greek thought into Arabic.

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.
