The Myth of Inanna, the Sumerian goddess who is the first of all, virgin and mother, lover and warrior, young and old, has been told and retold through the centuries and cultures.

Publisher Review:

The Tarot of the Angels really surprised me. I love when a deck surprises me. I'm not sure what, exactly, I was expecting, but the title and the rather laid-back art did not prepare me for this thought-provoking guide and useful divination deck. Using the structure and inspiration of the traditional Rider-Waite-Smith deck, the Tarot of the Angels does something most clones don't accomplish--it adds something to the images that enhance the original meanings. This deck takes the RWS as a starting place and then takes us on a slightly different journey. We see angels, both good and evil, playing different roles.

The Sensual Freedom of Wicca in a Beautiful Tarot

Unlike most religious paths, Wicca sees all aspects of life, including sexuality, as divine. This deck is primarily an international Pagan Tarot: The Hanged Man shows a Native American hanging from a tree limb. The Stars shows an African in loose pantaloons, his arms outstretched. The Moon shows a statue of Anubis in front of pyramids. The 4 of Cups shows a mournful young Asian woman with three spilled cups and one cup upright.

Yes, this deck includes sensual and naked imagery that is imaginative and powerful. The Lust Strength] card shows a naked woman astride a galloping horse, clearly ecstatic with a lust for life itself. The Lovers has a pose from the Kama Sutra.

This deck is filled with crisp, attractive art enveloped by a violet border and back. If you get the deluxe set you'll also receive a magnificent purple satin bag. It's lined in silver and the exterior of this drawstring bag is embroidered with silver Wiccan symbols: the full moon with waxing and waning moons on either side and a pentagram in the center. Above it is a dagger and below is a chalice and wand.

The Sensual Wicca Tarot cleverly unites concepts of Wiccan sensuality and Pagan concepts within the structure of the Tarot. The result is a modern Tarot deck that is perfect for meditation and all forms of divination. It is especially useful for relationship readings. If you're looking for a "sex positive" Tarot that is modern and Pagan friendly, this deck is for you

Grim Agents of Cosmic Forces... In the early twentieth century, legendary horror writer H.P. Lovecraft described an ancient tome as "the unmentionable Necronomicon of the mad Arab Abdul Alhazred . . . a book which I had never seen, but of which I had heard monstrous things whispered." In the early twenty-first century, best-selling author Donald Tyson wove the myriad rumors and whispers of Lovecraft's dread grimoire into the epic fantasy novels Necronomicon and Alhazred. Intended as a trilogy, this tarot completes Tyson's formidable work. The Necronomicon Tarot brings the phantasmagoric desert wanderings of Alhazred to life in a stunningly visceral deck and companion book. Seventy-eight captivating illustrations by fantasy artist Anne Stokes capture the mythic and monstrous world of Tyson's Necronomicon while remaining true to the underlying structure and tradition of tarot. Prepare to enter a world where the accursed and tormented poet wanders in search of the greatest and darkest magic -- divination with the dead. This kit includes 78-card tarot deck and 240-page companion tarot book.
