A leading expert on native spirituality and shamanism reveals the four archetypal principles of the Native American medicine wheel and how they can lead us to a higher spirituality and a better world.

In this updated edition of The Tarot Handbook, now with a new introduction by the author, Angeles Arrien takes tarot beyond the limits of the fortune-telling realm and shows us how this time-honored application is both a visual and symbolic map of consciousness, and a source of ancient wisdom. An exciting handbook for either a beginning or an ardent student of the tarot, it contains a multitude of charts, spreads, illustrations of the Thoth Deck, and other methodology tools for anyone looking for insights into personal and spiritual development. An anthropologist who specializes in cross-cultural myths, Arrien demonstrates how the seventy-eight figures of the tarot are portraitures and archetypes that are prevalent in the collective human experience. The author teaches us to use this realization to look beyond our cultural viewpoint or bias when we approach the tarot, and to rely instead on these more important universal principles, thereby deepening the quality and accuracy of our interpretations and expanding our awareness of the human psyche. A significant and classic piece of tarot literature, The Tarot Handbook is both a required manual for teachers and students of the subject, and an accessible and fascinating exploration of cultural anthropology.

Memorable and uplifting stories set in a mythical town in India, drawing the reader into an inner place of great depth and mystery. Suitable for young and old. "A delightful change from the norm" - The Friend

The rediscovery of Roman law and the emergence of classical canon law around AD 1100 marked the beginnings of the civil law tradition in Europe. Between the twelfth and eighteenth centuries, a highly sophisticated legal science of a truly European dimension was developed. Since then the different European States have developed their own national legal systems, but with the exception of England and Ireland they are all heirs to this tradition of the ius commune.

This historical introduction to the civil law tradition, from its original Roman roots to the present day, considers the political and cultural context of Europe’s legal history. Political, diplomatic and constitutional developments are discussed, and the impacts of major cultural movements, such as scholasticism, humanism, the Enlightenment and Romanticism, on law and jurisprudence are highlighted.

This contextual approach makes for a fascinating story, accessible to any reader regardless of legal or historical background.

At Firbank Fell in the North of England, beneath the great rock on which George Fox preached, a plaque quotes his words: "Let your lives speak." Jan Arriens has written a book of stories that speak of Quakers living faithfully from the 17th century to the present day - finding practical ways to defeat slavery, protesting against nuclear weapons, discovering individual journeys to peace, simplicity, truth and equality. These stories will appeal to young and old. "Next time someone asks me 'Who are the Quakers?' or 'What do Quakers believe?' I think I'll just give them this book." - Steve Whiting, Secretary to Quaker Peace & Social Witness Testimonies Committee
