Abu Hafs 'Umar al-Suhrawardi (1145-1234) is the author of a classic
work of Muslim piety, a key figure in the rise of institutional
Sufism in the form of "orders" called "tariqas," and the
influential eponym of one of these famous orders. This book
presents studies, editions, and English translations of his shorter
treatises that were originally penned in Arabic and Persian.
Relying on global archival research, the book discovers materials
that shed new light on his teachings and networks, as it traces the
context, sources, and reception of his works. Carefully identifying
the authentic works of 'Umar al-Suhrawardi, the book presents
significant new information on a key moment in the history of
Muslim piety and mysticism.
How did the Oracle of Delphi obtain her prophecies? Can you access
information just by holding an object? Are itches actually
messages? Is it really possible to read the future in the bottom of
a teacup? In this condensed book, experienced seer Jewels Rocka

examples from all over the world. Packed with useful information
and miniturised reference tables, this is the essential pocket
volume for the travelling prophet. "Fascinating" FINANCIAL TIMES.
