Mrs. Betty Lilac has always been a sort of mystic and has
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
talent.
Mr. Gately, her landlord, has evicted Betty from the comfortable
home in which she has lived for twenty years. He claims she
practices black magic and has garnered a negative reputation, which
is bad for his business. In addition, she begins to receive strange
phone calls, notices mysterious cars driving by her property, and
observes unusual lights at night in the nearby junkyard.
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.

Personalized magick is the most powerful magick. The Untamed Witch
empowers you to use your own instincts, intuition, and personal
environment in your witchcraft. Witchcraft is not one defined,
arbitrary path. Rather, it is a diversity of practices that you can
curate and align with based on your lifestyle and unique gifts.
Moreover, those practices are not meant to be done the same way by
every witch. Someone else's love spell is how they conjure love.
Why use lavender in a ritual if it isn't native to your
surroundings or you simply don't like it? This guide gives you the
insight and tools to undomesticate your craft from formulaic-to
inspired-practice. The Untamed Witch also outlines: Tools and
practices to access the subconscious How to work with the life,
death, rebirth cycle How to use elemental and land witchcraft
Ancestry work and communicating with spirit guides and entities
With this book at your side, learn to use your instincts to rewild
your magick.
Composed in 2 B.C., as "The I Ching revised and enlarged", The
Elemental Changes is a divination manual providing a clear method
for distinguishing alternative courses of action. Structured in 81
tetragrams (as opposed to the 64 hexagrams of the I Ching), the
book offers much to the modern reader. Today in the West, The
Elemental Changes is an essential tool for understanding the Tao as
is operates in the Cosmos, in the minds of sages, and in sacred
texts. It is also one of the great philosophical poems in world
literature, assessing the rival claims on human attention of fame,
physical immortality, wealth, and power while it situates human
endeavor within the larger framework of cosmic energies. The
complete text of The Elemental Changes and its ten autocommentaries
are here translated into accessible and, whenever possible, literal
English. Following the Chinese tradition, supplementary comments
are appended to each tetragram in order to indicate the main lines
of interpretation suggested by earlier commentators.
Focus your mind with this celestial colouring book, based on
horoscopes, astrology and all things zodiac.

A rare combination of personal and academic, this book showcases
the myriad avenues for transcending the boundaries of reality
through direct sensory experience. The Varieties of Magical
Experience: Indigenous, Medieval, and Modern Magic provides a
comprehensive volume that examines magic in all its aspects.
Through detailed case studies, verbatim accounts of personal
experiences, and first-hand experience from the authors' own active
participation in many alternative religious rituals and ceremonies,
this unique book reveals how magic can be a universal phenomenon
that crosses cultural, historical, and spatial boundaries. The work
is organized in five sections that embrace several broad themes:
indigenous magical and shamanic practices; medieval witchcraft;
sorcery and hermetic magic; and contemporary Western magical
practices, including the role of sexuality, trance, and meditation.
The introductory section explores the idea of magic, other
realities, and the employment of all the senses, while the final
section discusses contemporary issues of ecology and cybermagic.
The authors give voice to the powerful emotions and feelings that
result from a magical encounter, providing engaging and accessible
information to general readers, while those well versed in the
opaque world of magic and occultism, consciousness studies, and
imaginal and disembodied realms will appreciate the book's content
at a deeper level. Highlights techniques, rituals, and training of
magical practitioners Counterpoints the rational with the emotional
and compares the past with the present Takes a cross-cultural,
historical, and anthropological approach that is accessible to all
readers Includes experiences of academics, shamans, occultists,
healers, sorcerers, pagans, medieval magicians, cybermagicians, and
indigenous peoples across the world
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.
