Tarot cards can offer nuanced, personal readings even for
beginners, helping us face the future, solve present-day problems,
and better understand ourselves. Cassandra Eason opens a window
onto the world of tarot, from choosing the right pack to
interpreting the cards. She lays out the most important spreads,
suggests intuitive methods for choosing cards, reveals what psychic
protections to take when doing divination, and more.
Paranormal claims don't traditionally sit well with reporters,
but journalist Steve Volk decided to focus his tenacity on a new
beat: a NASA astronaut-turned-mystic, a world-famous psychologist
who taught us about dying and decided death may not exist at all,
and scientists attempting to verify what mystics have been
reporting for millennia. From his journey into the bizarre, Volk
discovers that the "fringe" story strikes at the core of what it
means to be human.

What would it do to movements, to our society and culture, to have the
principles of healing at the very center? What does it mean to center
healing in every structure and everything we create?
As we emerge from the past few years of collective upheaval, are we
ready to face the complexities of our time with joy, authenticity, and
connection? Now more than ever, we must learn to heal ourselves,
connect with one another, and embody our values. In this revolutionary
book, Prentis Hemphill shows us how.
What It Takes to Heal asserts that the principles of embodiment - the
recognition of our body's sensations and habits, and the beliefs that
inform them - are critical to lasting healing and transformation.
Hemphill, an expert embodiment practitioner, therapist, and activist,
who has partnered with Tarana Burke and Esther Perel, among others,
shows us that we don't have to carry our emotional burdens alone.
Hemphill demonstrates a future in which healing is done in community,
weaving together stories from their own experience as a trauma survivor
with clinical accounts and lessons learned from their time as a social
movement architect.
In this life-affirming framework for the way forward, Hemphill shows us
how to heal our bodies, minds and souls - to develop the interpersonal
skills necessary to break down the doors of disconnection and take the
necessary risks to reshape our world towards justice.
Springfield has launched a lot of history, from the career of
Abraham Lincoln to the wagon train that bore the Donner party to
their fate. While taking this tour with Garret Moffett, you will
come face to face with the history that has refused to leave. Meet
the Gibson Girl who turned society circles into s ances during her
life and the vengeful actor who held down a leading role as
mischief-maker after death. And maybe you should pause before you
shake the hand of a Civil War re-enactor at Camp Butler, just to
make sure that his skin isn't as gray as his coat.
Reading Tea Leaves is your ultimate guide to the ancient art of
tasseography - divination with tea leaves. Traditionally a homespun
form of divination often practiced by women, tea-leaf reading gave
glimpses into the drama of daily life - who was stopping by after
supper and if a letter was on the way. The process is simple: brew
yourself a cup of loose-leaf tea, settle down somewhere comfy, and
sip it intentionally. Once you've reached the bottom of the cup,
the tea leaves that remain will take the form of shapes and symbols
that can give you guidance, spark your intuition, and even give you
a hint of the future. Originally published in 19th century but now
updated for modern readers, Reading Tea Leaves will teach you
everything you need to know to begin reading the leaves yourself.
Inside you'll find a dictionary of symbolic meanings to help you
successfully interpret the images you see in the cup, along with
ten illustrated example readings to allow you to hone your
interpretive skills. The art of reading tea leaves is a
warm-hearted invitation to celebrate the small, magical moments we
encounter every day.
The paranormal concerns happenings and experiences which defy
rational or scientific explanation. Most people believe that they
occur, but scientists tend to dismiss them as superstition, and the
churches seem frightened of them. Experienced author, Bishop Hugh
Montefiore, makes here a serious study of this fascinating subject.
Never averse to controversy, he is not afraid to take on Professor
Richard Dawkins, the well-known populariser of the natural
sciences, who dismisses the paranormal out of hand. Here the
subject is dealt with in a balanced and reasonable fashion. He
cites many cases, giving reasons for and against accepting them as
paranormal. Suggesting criteria by which to judge them, he leaves
readers to make up their own minds, until the last chapter, where
he gives his own conclusions. He ranges more widely than previous
books on the subject by including the paranormal in religion. In
the first part, he examines alleged cases of telepathy,
precognition, automatic writing, mediums, ghosts, poltergeists and
hauntings, and even astrology. In the second part, he considers the
paranormal in religion, including near death experiences, exorcism
and reincarnation. In the third part, he examines specifically
Christian experiences, including visions and the extraordinary
experiences of mystics. He even suggests that the paranormal is to
be found in the scriptures. This remarkable book, which includes
interviews with those who have experienced the paranormal, should
prove to be irresistible reading.
