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.
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.
Does the Earth have a living energy system? How do you find a
spring using a dowsing rod? What is the ancient Chinese art of Feng
Shui? Why are dragons associated with ley lines? Were sacred sites
once placed on a global grid? Was a sophisticated geomancy
practiced long ago? Written by six expert authors and illustrated
with rare engravings, woodcuts, original drawings and diagrams,
GEOMANCY is the ultimate guide to earth mysteries, exploring the
hidden frontiers of ancient knowledge to uncover the lost history
of our living planet.
Originally published in the early 1900s, this book is 'A Complete
Practical Work on the Sciences of Cheirognomy and Cheiromancy, By
Which Means the Character, and the Past, Present and Future Events
of the Life, May be Read in the Formation of the Hands'. The book
is an exhaustive study of the practise of Palmistry, with detailed
descriptions and diagrams to aid the practitioner in
interpretation. Many of the earliest books, particularly those
dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and
increasingly expensive. Hesperides Press are republishing these
classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using
the original text and artwork. Contents Include: Preface - The
Science of Palmistry (A Short History) - Part 1 Cheirognomy; Types
of Hands - The Divisions of the Hand - The Mounts, Their
Characteristics and Various Signs Found Thereon - Part 2
Cheiromancy - Lesser Lines
For over 3,000 years, the Chinese have placed great value on the
"I Ching, "turning to it for guidance and insight regarding past,
present, and future events. For over a decade, researcher Robert
Benson worked towards making the English text of this book easier
to understand and appreciate. The result is an "I Ching "that
stands alone, providing answers for anyone facing a time of
personal crisis.
How often have you taken one look at someone and 'known' that they
were not to be trusted? Or conversely, instantly been sure that
some new acquaintance was someone who was going to be your friend?
You 'know' because you can instinctively see their character in
their faces. The art of reading faces has been practiced in China
for thousands of years. Now, with the help of this step-by-step
guide, anyone can learn how to interpret different facial
characteristics and acquire and instant knowledge of a person's
character, feelings, hidden desires, state of health, and mood.
Everything is written in the face. High cheekbones, a pointed
chine, flaring eyebrows or a turned-up nose all have specific
meanings. Once you have learned how to interpret them you will gain
greater self-knowledge and a deeper understanding of your friends,
colleagues and partners. Your new insights will enable you to form
more successful relationships and will give you the advantage in
business dealings and interviews. You will know at once whether a
person is trustworthy or has bad intentions, and your first
impressions will be supported by the clear evidence in the face
confronting you. Clear and practical, Face Reading includes 180
illustrations showing you all the facial features with detailed
explanations of their meaning. Reading faces is entertaining and
fun, but it is no mere party game; it will change your whole
perception of the people around you as well as yourself.
The Babylonian tamitu texts are a corpus of questions addressed to
the sun-god Shamash and the storm-god Adad jointly. Professional
diviners were employed to put the questions with the appropriate
rites and to formulate the wording correctly, since the only answer
would be "yes" or "no." Thus the questions had to include a
detailed exposition of the matter, and they open up intimate
glances of things not otherwise available. Kings ask whether they
should undertake a certain campaign, laying out a detailed plan of
action. At the other end of the scale, a man wants to know whether
his wife is telling him the truth. All tablets are of first
millennium B.C. date, though some of the questions date from the
second millennium B.C. Scribes copied out questions to serve as
models for later use. In this volume W.G. Lambert has gathered
together all the known material, including 54 tablets and fragments
not previously published. All are given in cuneiform copy,
transliteration, translation, with notes and an introduction. By
far the greater part of this material has not been edited before.
This is a hugely entertaining study that goes beyond biography to
vividly portray Victorian life in a wider framework."Queen
Victoria's Skull" explores the life and thinking of the Edinburgh
phrenologist George Combe. Phrenology is a theory which claims to
be able to detect personality traits, character and predisposition
to criminality on the basis of the shape of the skull. Now
dismissed as risible, it was treated with reverence by many
Victorians.George Combe was the author of "The Constitution of
Man", an ethical treatise that sold over 100,000 copies in Britain
and 200,000 copies in America by 1900. The quirkiness of his life
and work, and the fact that he befriended and influenced many
public figures - from Prince Albert to George Eliot - make for an
engaging story. "Queen Victoria's Skull", however, does more than
tell the tale of one idiosyncratic individual. By tracing the
development of Combe's intellectual interests it provides a prism
through which to view Victorian culture, science and politics,
covering themes of class, religion, sex, crime, art and the
theatre. David Stack has written an entertaining and erudite study
of an important, and now neglected, Victorian figure.
From ancient times, people have wanted to understand the rhythms of
life and looked to the skies for answers. The Ancient Greeks and
Romans turned to the celestial bodies for inspiration and devised
narratives to which they referred to make decisions and choices.
Maybe the options have changed, but we are still seeking wisdom and
guidance in life today. Whether it's working out your ideal career,
your perfect partner or to understand more about how you
communicate, Liberty Phi has the answers. A student of astrology
for over 20 years, in her Planet Zodiac series, Liberty will take
you on a deep dive into your star sign and birth chart. Only by
understanding the meaning, nature and power of each planet and how
that's relevant to your birth chart – which is relevant only to
you – can you really harness the power of the zodiac. You can
then use this knowledge to work out how planetary patterns might
influence you and how they will affect your life in a rather
profound way. You will learn, for instance, what sort of impression
you are likely to make when you enter a room, how you function in a
group, or how spontaneous you are likely to be. Whatever your star
sign, these books will help you to take an in-depth and tailored
exploration of your star sign and will give you the tools to
harness the zodiac and take control of your life.
