Tarot & Divination

A new addition to the Made Easy series, this book will teach readers about the ancient power of Northern traditions, the runes and their magic.

This is your key to unlocking the ancient power and wisdom of the runes and their magic. Learn how to use them for divination, guidance and more.

The runes are some of the most powerful tools available to you. They are more than just a method of words and writing: each rune has a phonetic sound, similar to the sounds heard in Norwegian or Icelandic.

They were used to communicate, for divination, to provide guidance and were also bound together to make magic spells.

In this insightful, practical book, Rich Lister will provide you with a resource that you can use to build your knowledge and develop your own relationship with the runes. In Runes Made Easy, you will discover:

• an introduction to Norse mythology and the role of the runes within it
• how to use and work with each rune
• how to make your own set of runes, which materials to use and how the material you choose impacts the energy and resonance of the runes
• the characteristics and meaning of each of the 24 Elder Furtharc runes
• how to set an intention for your rune use

The runes, if used and treated with respect and honour, provide a support system and life-navigation tool. When you learn how to use them, you'll receive the guidance and answers you've been looking for.

Scrying for Beginners is for anyone who longs to sit down before the mirror or crystal and lift the rolling grey clouds that obscure their depths. Scrying is a psychological technique to deliberately acquire information by extrasensory means through the unconscious mind. For the first time, all forms of scrying are treated in one easy-to-read, practical book.

A top tarotist's secrets to personal growth, one card at a time. The two volumes of Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom have inspired a whole generation of tarot students. It has often been described by readers, booksellers, and teachers as the "Bible of tarot readers." It is also often cited as one of the landmark books in modern tarot, and it helped to launch the "Tarot Renaissance" of the 1980s. The two texts-one for The Major Arcana and one for The Minor Arcana--appear together in this volume, which is a reissue of the 1998 edition first published by Thorsons.

Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom draws on mythology and esoteric traditions and delves deeply into the symbolism and ideas of each card. It also gives the cards a modern psychological slant based on the pictures rather than a system of occult symbolism. This endlessly useful reference tool provides a concise history of tarot, introduces common spreads, and is a clear and readable book for both the beginning and advanced tarot student.

With Tarot Made Easy you can easily interpret the meaning of any card and apply it to the particular circumstances of your life.

This easy but accurate system banishes the vague interpretations found in most books and gives you the immediate, specific insights you need.

Use the incredible power of bones, crystals, and curios as divinatory tools to develop a deeper understanding of your abilities, your relationships, and your future.
 
The casting of bones and other objects for divination has been part of many cultural traditions for millennia. When we think of bones, we usually think of animal or human skeletal remains. However, in divination practice, the word “bones” refers to all the elements that are cultivated in your own “bone-throwing kit.” While most of the items will be natural, such as bones, shells, roots, and crystals, a kit may also include other baubles and trinkets—a dice, coins, a key. Creating your own bone-throwing kit allows you to build a connection to the bones you wish to include in your arsenal and create a definitive divination system based on your personal practice.
 
This beautifully illustrated book includes everything you need to start “throwing bones” and divining the answers to any questions you have about the future or gaining inspiration for how to work with current situations. In it you will find:

• Advice and suggestions for creating your own set of “bones”
• 20 unique casting boards with full instructions on how to use them when addressing different sorts of questions
• Other related methods of divination, including crystal divination—such as crystal scrying—and pendulum dowsing

The large, square format and layflat binding make the book uniquely practical.
