This is book collects interpretations of symbols I've heard and read about or seen used by readers, including my mother. You, as a reader, will develop your own vocabulary of the leaves. This is just a suggested starting-place.

A new oracle deck from the beloved and irreverent spiritual teacher Tosha Silver (Outrageous Openness, Change Me Prayers) offers inspiration to help users "let go and let God" on their way to a more spacious and abundant life.

Nothing is more exhausting than endlessly working on "yourself." When you offer your whole Being fully to Love, self-acceptance arises spontaneously. May I rest in our Oneness, dear Divine!

If you read the lines above and think, Easier said than done, this oracle deck is for you. In 52 beautifully illustrated cards, beloved spiritual teacher and author Tosha Silver uses her accessible, slightly quirky style to convey her key teaching messages of Surrender and Offering to Divine Will.

These messages, familiar to readers of Tosha's highly acclaimed books (Outrageous Openness and Change Me Prayers), are, at their essence, about releasing attachment to ego-defined outcomes. Each card addresses a particular situation--Aging, Ambition, Money, Regrets, Solitude, Travel, Truth--with a comment or invocation that encourages you to offer your pain around this situation to the Divine, and to call in Divine Will for the highest outcome.

Intentionally non-prescriptive, the deck can be used in a variety of ways: as an oracle where the Divine guides you to a specific card; to carry or put on an altar as a reminder to reflect on a specific issue; or in any other way you are drawn to use it.

This is an illustrated guide to the Chinese horoscope and how to use it. The 12 signs of the Chinese horoscope introduced and explained; find out which signs you are compatible with and which you should avoid. Increase your understanding of your partner, friends and family as their sign's characteristics reveal themselves. You can learn how the year you were born influences your personality, ambitions, relationships and life choices. The system of Chinese horoscopes has been in use for thousands of years, and there was a time when no Chinese person would contemplate changing their job or getting married without consulting their astrologer. We may no longer run our lives this way, but there is much that we can learn about ourselves from this ancient Eastern astrological system. The Chinese horoscope is made up of 12 animal signs but while most people know which sign they are, the system is more complex than that. You also need to know which of the five elements you are: fire, earth, water, metal or wood, and whether you are yin or yang. This accessible book guides you through finding your own particular sign and how it influences your personality, family, love life and future choices.

In 1909, the Champlain and Hudson Valleys-and America and the world along with them-celebrated the 300th anniversary of European "discovery" of these regions. Marking America's entry onto the world stage, the 1909 commemorations' parades, pageants, speeches and other spectacles prophetically mapped the nation's 20th century course toward empire. In the same year, the Austrian esoteric teacher Rudolf Steiner prophetically envisioned a very different American and world destiny, one whose culmination comes in 2009, the 400th anniversary of Samuel de Champlain and Henry Hudson's fateful landings. Focusing its historical gaze on Burlington, Vermont and Manhattan, A Short Story of American Destiny, 1909-2009 is an unsettling, surprising look at a small set of past events with profound implications for our present moment. Author of Across the Great Border Fault: The Naturalist Myth in America and Bright Colors Falsely Seen: Synaesthesia and the Search for Transcendental Knowledge, Dr. Kevin Dann teaches in the History Department at State University of New York, Plattsburgh.

Aleister Crowley, Frieda, Lady Harris and Betty May were no strangers to bohemian life; they embraced escapism, freedom and remained true to their indomitable spirits rebelling against the backdrop into which they were born. Through the art of natal astrology, we can see what their motivations were including their potential strengths and challenges. New research; some rarely seen photographs and some new biographical information, coupled with an astrological narrative lay at the heart of this book. Artists and astrologers; bohemians, ceremonial magicians and Thelemites, occultists, philosophers, Tarot historians and writers... welcome to Crowley, Harris and May.

This text offers practical information on the applications and use of the quartz crystal ball and modern crystal bowl as a magical tool. The book takes the ancient processes of divination and scrying out of the realm of the supernatural and places them in the domain of natural knowledge. It reveals why crystal balls and crystal bowls are dynamic instruments for transformation, and how they can be used to divine the future, the astral project, to connect the spirits, to heal and to balance the human energy system. The book explores their many functions, and reveals the secrets of vibrational energy, as well as its application for increasing intuition and activating creativity. Step-by-step, the reader can learn techniques for crystal gazing, scrying, attuning to spirit guides, developing clairvoyance, and healing. Crystal balls and crystal bowls are two powerful tools for opening to higher states of consciousness, and this book provides information on the "hows and whys" of them and aims to show how their magic can enhance the reader's life.

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.

'Pandora’s Box: The Mysterious 8th House' is a 360° analysis of the 8th house, the place in the chart which includes sensible issues like death, debts, possessiveness, entanglements, sexuality or boundary crossings. It links the somewhat fatalistic Hellenistic view of ‘descent into the underworld’ with more modern psychological interpretations of shadow work, transformation and resilience. The deeper one digs, the more complex this house becomes, and ancient and modern approaches complement each other rather than contradict themselves. With biographical examples of fascinating personalities like Jane Goodall, Kaiser Wilhelm II, Truman Capote, John Dee, Elisabeth Kübler-Ross and Adolf Eichmann, the book is complemented by a detailed chapter of planets in the 8th house, 8th house rulership factors in the chart, and transits to the 8th house. Martin Sebastian Moritz’ book is both entertaining and insightful, a good read that will challenge any level of astrologer - particularly those in the thrall of the 8th house.
