Back by popular demand! This is the reprint of the original version of Venus and Jupiter: Bridging the Ideal and the Real which was published by the CPA Press in 1998. It was produced in a seminar format, which enables the reader to feel part of the lectures, and so relate to the questions coming from the audience. Bringing to reality our dreams and fantasies of the ideal is not always easy nor even possible. Coming to terms with this natural split in the human psyche is also difficult, but in this book, Erin Sullivan goes deeply into the character, mythological origins and astrological relationship of the two planets most closely associated with ideals, creativity, romance, ethics and social relationships. In Venus we find the inherent duality of the experience, and this lies in the goddess Aphrodite’s own duality. In Jupiter she brings the larger, global perspective into the picture, showing how the sky-god Zeus can act as a tyrannical component within our own psyche, and also, how his wisdom is the result of internalizing the more feminine aspects of our archetypal story. Delineation of Venus and Jupiter to the other planets are included. Good for all levels of knowledge from beginner to professional in astrology.

Dragons are immensely powerful, creative, inquisitive and honourable beings, with enormous compassion and often a dry sense of humour. This ground-breaking oracle deck allows users to connect with 33 dragons, each with their own personality and way of helping us. Each of the 33 stunning cards represents one of the dragons, and an 80-page booklet profiles the dragons in detail, suggesting how to work with their energy. The Dragons are grouped in four clans: the Earth Walk Dragons, the empowering, who support us on our physical journey; the multi-dimensional Galactic Dragons, the connectors, who work out in the galaxies to raise our vibration; the Grand Master Dragons, shape-shifting spiritual teachers who seek us out when we have started to advance; and the Guardian Dragons, who work in pairs, balancing each other's energies like yin and yang and guiding us wherever we are on our spiritual journey. Rather than giving us straight answers, the dragons guide us as we begin to trust ourselves, our intuition and our inner wisdom. Working with the dragons, we notice when the Universe is answering our call, and then act upon it. As our spiritual growth deepens, we become more self-aware and release old belief patterns, behaviours and ways of being. The Dragons ask only that we be true to ourselves. There is no set way to use the cards - connect with the Dragons in the way that feels right to you, whether that is picking a Daily Guidance card for instant insight or using the spreads described in the booklet, such as the Month Ahead spread, defining your focus for the next four weeks, or the Spiritual Seeker spread, created to help you on your spiritual journey.

The author of best-selling Futhark: A Handbook of Rune Magic and Runelore takes you deeper into the heart of the runecaster's art, specifically, runic divination. The word rune means "mystery", and casting the runes enables the runecaster to penetrate the mystery of the relationship between the gods and humans, and between internal and external environments. Strongly loyal to the ancient traditions, Edred Thorsson traces the evolution of runecasting to the present in order to restore runework to its historical, spiritual, and cosmological significance. Thorsson shows you:
-- how to make your own runes;
-- how to load the rune with numinous power;
-- how to prepare the optimum setting for a rune reading;
-- how to prepare yourself psychologically and spiritually for casting the runes.

The book is complete -- including general rune meanings, divinatory tables, the positive and negative aspects of each rune, its linguistic component and phonetic value. Thorsson provides runic layouts and sample readings, as well as alternative ways to cast lots and answer yes/no questions. In each case, he is explicit, precise, and generous -- he trusts the runecaster's art and the integrity of the runecaster who is new to the craft. This volume is sure to restore runecasting to its position as a sacred art.

A full-color oracle deck and guidebook to activate your light codes, raise your frequency, and awaken to your cosmic mission * 2022 Coalition of Visionary Resources Silver Award * Includes 44 full-color cards, embedded with activational frequencies and imbued with sacred geometric symbols and patterns from nature and the cosmos * For each card, the book explains its meaning and message and includes a ritual activity, such as an incantation, guided journaling, meditation, or ceremony, to help you engage more deeply and experientially with the message * The book demonstrates how the cards represent 4 distinct initiatory paths, which can act as a cosmic mission activation launch sequence, helping you in the next steps of your soul purpose Presenting high-vibration activational messages, this oracle deck and book set is designed to help you remember your true nature as a being of light, access your cosmic mission, and raise your vibratory frequency. Rev. Stephanie Red Feather hand-painted the art on each of the 44 full-color cards, imbued with sacred geometric symbols and patterns from nature and the cosmos, to serve as a tool of transmission, engaging you on multiple levels of consciousness and allowing you to receive whatever activation, message, or inspiration from Source you need in the moment. The art is also intentionally embedded with activational frequencies to help you "turn on" your light codes, retrieve ancient wisdom stored in your soul's memory from enlightened times, and transmit signals from Source, which land like seeds in the mind and flower into higher knowledge. In the accompanying guidebook, Red Feather explains how the oracle can be used as a self-guided initiation into the mysteries of higher consciousness. Drawing on astrophysics, biology, geology, quantum mechanics, as well as ancient mystical traditions, she shows how the cards can be divided into four groups, each representing a distinct initiatory path and acting as a cosmic mission activation launch sequence. For each card, she explains its meaning and message and includes a ritual activity, such as an incantation, guided journaling, meditation, or ceremony, to help you engage more deeply and experientially with the message. Offering a hands-on tool to discover and activate the next steps of your cosmic mission, this oracle helps you prepare your light body for the next octave of your soul purpose on Earth as well as drawing you into higher, wider, and deeper dimensions of consciousness.

The I Ching (pronounced ee-ching) is the oldest and most respected oracle or divinatory system in the world. There are currently two translations available which offer somewhat conflicting interpretations - the popular Confucian version and an earlier Taoist version called Zhouyi. Reconstructed by twentieth-century scholars and archaeologists, Zhouyi presents the highly imaginative world of myth and ritual that is the hidden base of thousands of years of Eastern thought. Now, for the first time ever, Stephen Karcher fuses these two traditions using modern scholarship and archaeological and linguistic research, along with a wide background in Eastern philosophy and comparative religion, and presents them to the modern Western reader in a comprehensive and accessible new form. TOTAL I CHING is a complete oracle with instruction for immediate use in all life situations, but is also the first translation to detail the mythology of the divinatory system, offering a revolutionary new approach to the world's oldest wisdom tradition.

This book offers a major contribution to the study and analysis of divination, based on continuing fieldwork with the Mambila in Cameroon. It seeks to return attention to the details of divinatory practice, using the questions asked and life histories to help understand the perspective of the clients rather than that of the diviners. Drawing on a corpus of more than 600 cases, David Zeitlyn reconsiders theories of divination and compares Mambila spider divination with similar systems in the area. A detailed case study is examined and analysed using conversational analytic principles. The regional comparison considers different kinds of explanation for different features of social organization, leading to a discussion of the continuing utility of moderated functionalism. The book will be of interest to area specialists and scholars concerned with religion, rationality, and decision-making from disciplines including anthropology, African studies, and philosophy.
