IN FOCUS TAROT

Many practitioners of Wicca and paganism use candles to work with fire, a powerful element that plays an important role in many rituals. Bestselling Wiccan author Lisa Chamberlain teaches contemporary witches how to use candles in their everyday magical practice. Readers will find trusted advice on selecting the best candle for their needs, the importance of candle colors, and ways to clear and charge their candles.

Containing an extensive collection of traditional spells and techniques, this guide will help readers attract positive friendships, love and luck as well as promote healing, careers and protection.

A History of Ghosts, Spirits and the Supernatural charts the extraordinary narrative of one of the most fascinating and controversial subjects in the world, covering everything from Neolithic ancestor worship and ancient necromancy to modern-day ghost-hunting and creepypasta tales, and from the Japanese onryo to the La Llorona of Latin America.

The Big Book of Tarot Meanings solves these dilemmas by breaking down each card into the eight most-queried categories, starting with Beginnings and ending with Outcome, with a meaning for each category, upright and reversed. No longer will you have to vaguely extrapolate meaning and insight for diverse questions from the same generic description often given in other beginner tarot books.

Numbers are tarot's operating system. In a tarot deck, there are 22 major arcana cards numbered 0 to 21, plus four suits of 56 cards, named the minor arcana. Just like playing cards, these minor cards are numbered Ace to 10. Even at a glance, you can see how the Ace might reveal beginnings (the idea) and the Ten, an ending (or ultimate expression of the idea). Combine the numbers with other immediate clues such as the card's suit (Wands, Cups, Swords, Pentacles), colors, and main image and you will be able to quickly discern the card's meaning.

Discover the different meanings and energies behind your crystals, and learn how to choose and connect with the right one for each piece. Turn your favourite crystals into wearable items to carry with you every day or infuse your home with energy, or create deeply personal and meaningful gifts for friends and family.
