Use these beautifully illustrated cards to evaluate the past,
meditate on the present and seek insight into the future. Every
legendary villain has a story ultimately more fascinating than his
hero counterpart. These fallen angels are no exception: cast out
from heaven, the subversive spirits in this deck have committed at
least one of the seven deadly sins to secure their place in the
legions of the damned. The cards in Nigel Suckling's oracle are
similarly rich with experience, and devilishly direct: Zepar, the
angel who makes women love men, reveals the complications of an
affair; Gusion, who can discern the past, present and future, calls
upon you to let intuition rule; while Shax, who has the appearance
of a stork, warns you to protect your wealth. Choose a card for
daily insight, or lay them out for a reading, just like tarot...
and you will find that your readings have depth and veracity. The
accompanying book reveals each card's meaning and explains the
circumstances of each angel's history and wisdom teaching. The
illustrations, by artist Sarah Perkins, have been specially
commissioned to evoke the dark charm of these most fascinating,
mysterious creatures, all of whom offer a special message for you.
The mysteries of the tarot and the legend of dragons come together
in this stunning box set, including a full tarot deck and 64-page
guidebook. Majestic in its power, the dragon in Western culture
appears in myth and legend as the jealous guardian of a treasure
hoard - epitomized by J.R.R. Tolkien's Smaug, and seen more
recently in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series and George R.R.
Martin's Game of Thrones series. But that is not the whole story -
dragons are complex creatures, and the beast is usually credited
with cunning and often the power of speech - it is not just a
brutal, terrifying monster. Although occasionally hostile, as when
an earth dragon stirs and human cities crumble, there is no
personal malice. Dragons simply operate by different laws that do
not always place our interest at their centre. Understanding those
laws and adapting to accommodate them is one path to wisdom. This
is the spirit in which dragons inspire this tarot - tarot also
operates by laws that are slightly beyond our conscious grasp,
lifting the veil on the spiritual undercurrent of the worlds we
inhabit. This traditional 78-card deck contains fire-breathing
dragons, winged dragons of the air, sea serpents and earth dwellers
who will reveal to you the secrets of the past, the possibilities
of the present and all the potential of the future.
Throughout the 1960s and 70s, London-based Big O Posters helped
define the new and democratic art medium of the psychedelic poster,
a vehicle for rebellion against the old order that went hand in
hand with the music, literature, and film of the time. This is a
comprehensive collection of works published by Big O artists,
astonishingly creative folks whose artistry developed almost
completely outside the influence of the art establishment. Included
in more than 300 images are works by 19 artists, including Martin
Sharp, Roger Dean, H.R. Giger, Robert Venosa, and Vali Myers, whose
signature styles include sci-fi, fantasy, visionary, botanical, and
surrealism. In addition to hundreds of original works, this book
digs below the surface to offer insights and anecdotes about the
era, the artistic process, and reveals connections to artists from
the past (Aubrey Beardsley, Alphonse Mucha, Kay Nielsen) whose
spirit chimed with the age of Big O Posters.
