Stephen Karcher Thorsons Way of The I Ching The I Ching is the
oldest and most powerful Chinese oracle. This clear and accessible
guide explains how you can take advantage of its wisdom to create
happiness and success in your life. What makes "Way of the I Ching"
so special is that, for the first time, we have a concise
adaptation of theI Ching that is both an accurate interpretation of
the ancient original texts and remarkably easy to understand.
Another benefit to this edition is Dr. Karcher's introduction of a
new way to consult the I Ching that is not only as easy as the
common "three coins" method, but also retains the mathematical
model underlying the traditional (and laborious) "yarrow stalk"
method. It offers practical information and insight into: the I
Ching's roots and history. how the I Ching works - its 64 symbols
or hexagrams. how you can consult the oracle and find answers to a
wide range of questions. how to recognize and resolve your
anxieties and fears, and realize your desires.
First published in 1981, Divination and Oracles analyses the
religious practices of the ancient world as they have been
witnessed from Scandinavia to Tibet and Japan, from the third
millennium BC until the present day. Divination and the
consultation of oracles formed part of the religious practice of
the ancient world and are part of the living folklore of the
contemporary societies. They are subjects that are of immediate
concern to anthropologists and not infrequently to the historians
of early science. Written by the specialists in the early history
of European and Asian Civilisations, the chapters call on the
evidence of the written word of history and the surviving artefacts
and inscriptions of archaeology. They describe the different
methods that have been adopted and examine the types of question
that feature in man's attempt to seek guidance from other powers.
The contributions show how an appeal to the irrational can affect
the decision of prophet or statesman, or the way of life of farmer
or sailor; and how such an appeal can also stimulate scientific
enquiry into the cycles of nature. This book is a must read for
scholars and researchers of religion, comparative religion, and
ancient history.

The history of Tarot Médiéval reads like an adventure novel. It
was a French Tarot originally written by Francis Rolt-Wheeler and
artist, Christian Loring, but published in the fateful year of
1939. Following the fall of France in June 1940, it seems not to
have survived, and few copies of the original remain. CaitlÃn
Matthews has translated and edited the Rolt-Wheelers text and
written new material for this beautiful Tarot, whose art has been
painstakingly restored by renowned artist Wil Kinghan. Tarot
Médiéval has a luminous, dream-like, medieval setting, with fully
illustrated 22 Major Arcana, 16 Court Cards, and 40 Pip cards in
the suits of Cups, Swords, Sceptres (Wands), and Shekels (Coins).
Each card explores the symbolic, initiatic, kabbalistic,
numerological, astrological, and divinatory significances, to
nourish the spiritual life. The historical and magical context of
this extraordinary deck is rooted in the Oswald Wirth school of
Tarot and CaitlÃn has provided new ways of using the cards which
give meditational paths to explore it in a deeper way. This is a
Tarot whose time has come and an inward adventure of a lifetime is
waiting in the cards.

Learn the basics of runes and how to use them to reveal the future
and make your life better and more enjoyable. This accessible and
beautifully designed guide includes a frameable poster of runes and
their essential meanings. Runes are the letters of the ancient
Norse alphabet, but each letter contains secret, mysterious
meanings used for magical purposes. Unlike tarot cards, playing
cards, and even chess pieces, runes don't reflect the lives of
historical kings, queens, and courtiers. Instead, they focus on the
legendary gods of the Norse and Saxon peoples, created to explain
the world and its inhabitants. The runes have ancient roots but
continue to offer relevant and down-to-earth messages for those who
possess a basic understanding of them. Rune readings can throw
light on murky situations and offer advice on how solve problems,
move forward in life, and predict the future. To unlock the full
potential of these powerful symbols, you'll discover: the mythology
behind each rune the various meanings of each rune how to lay out
runes in spreads for a rune reading how to make your own runes the
secrets of rune casting and rune magic Read them for yourself or
cast them for friends and family. The more you use them, the better
you'll become at giving accurate readings, earning the respect
accorded to the rune readers of old. Combining elegance and
expertise, this is your essential modern guide to an ancient
tradition. The In Focus series applies a modern approach to
teaching the classic body, mind, and spirit subjects. Authored by
experts in their respective fields, these beginner's guides feature
smartly designed visual material that clearly illustrates key
topics within each subject. As a bonus, each book includes
reference cards or a poster, held in an envelope inside the back
cover, that give you a quick, go-to guide containing the most
important information on the subject.
Providing an analysis of Chinese divination as a means of
organizing and interpreting reality, Richard Smith examines a wide
variety of mantic techniques - from the use of the hallowed Yjing
to such popular practices as siting (geomancy), astrology,
numerology, physiognomy, the analysis of written characters,
meteorological divination, the use of mediums (including
spirit-writing), and dream interpretation. As he explains the
pervasiveness and tenacity of divination in China, the author
explores not only the connections between various mantic techniques
but also the relationship between divination and other facets of
Chinese culture, including philosophy, science and medicine. He
discusses the symbolism of divination, its aesthetics, its ritual
aspects, and its psychological and social significance, pointing
out that in traditional China divination helped to order the
future, just as history helped to order the past, and rituals the
present.
