Whether you want to learn to read the cards or deepen your Tarot interpretation skills , The Ultimate Guide to Tarot honors the deep heritage of Tarot, while guiding you through practical techniques .
Reviews
"But with the excellent descriptions of the cards themselves, and especially valuable discussions of the symbols contained on the cards, I believe the time can be condensed, and a deeper understanding of the cards obtained using this book than any other single book that I have read. Even for someone who first learned the cards 40 years ago (and whose memory is not quite what it once was), this book provided an excellent "refresher" - and provided some new insights that I had not read before."
"I'm glad I bought this book and thoroughly recommend it to anyone who wants to understand the RWS Tarot symbolism."
"If you had to buy one and only one book on reading tarot, this has to be it."
"This book is amazing!!"
"In the world of tarot books there us a lot of garbage."
"I was unsure of which book to buy for learning Tarot, so I bought several, including some far more expensive then this one. Out of all the tarot books I bought, this was definitely my favorite!"
"I used this book as a companion for working with "Tarot 101" which is a great course book/ work book style to help hone your intuition and help you remember what you have learned about Tarot."
"I wish I could give more detail but I am still working this book."

Reviews
"I was walking through a busy bookstore one day back in 2010, and I was staring at the Religion & Spirituality section for about 15 minutes not knowing where to begin. Some random guy came up, pulled Be Here Now off the shelf, handed it to me and simply said "This is a good place to start." He basically combines teachings of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Christianity, Judaism and Islam in such a way that it blows your mind and helps you see how everything is connected."
"Beautiful book."
"The format makes it inviting to read a little at a time and then put it down and digest."
"I enjoyed reading this book, its a crazy story about the journey that Ram Dass went on to reach enlightenment."

Meditations: A New Translation (Modern Library)
With an Introduction that outlines Marcus’s life and career, the essentials of Stoic doctrine, the style and construction of the Meditations, and the work’s ongoing influence, this edition makes it possible to fully rediscover the thoughts of one of the most enlightened and intelligent leaders of any era. “The emperor Marcus Aurelius, the proverbial philosopher-king, produced in Greek a Roman manual of piety, the Meditations, whose impact has been felt for ages since.
Reviews
"In this case, the Hays translation is the hardcover, while the authors who translated the paperback and Kindle versions aren't specified."
"Compare the translations of the first paragraph for example: This version: Of my grandfather Verus I have learned to be gentle and meek, and to refrain from all anger and passion. Of my mother I have learned to be religious, and bountiful; and to forbear, not only to do, but to intend any evil; to content myself with a spare diet, and to fly all such excess as is incidental to great wealth."
"Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. “The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts: therefore, guard, accordingly, and take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature.”. Before I get into details, I must say that reading Meditations was one of the hardest, but most rewarding experiences in my own personal growth. There is no reason to feel unhappy, unfulfilled, or unappreciated , and Meditations by Marcus Aurelius offers advice to anyone who is looking for self help, self love, and a rational way of directing life. Sharing his seat of power is the one move that summarizes Marcus Aurelius’s entire life; the fear of power and the duty embedded in him through his interest in Stoicism, a philosophy that grounds itself on self-restraint, reason, and fate."
"Wonderful collection of ancient wisdom that never goes out of date and is as helpful today (and desperately needed) as it was when it was first written hundreds of years ago."
"Clear, readable modern translation that feels like a conversation over a couple a beers."
"I had read this a long time ago, and was quite happy to find it was free on Amazon."
"Pretty low quality material but what do you expect for the price."

The Wild Unknown Tarot Deck and Guidebook (Official Keepsake Box Set)
From the beloved artist-seeker behind The Wild Unknown comes the long-awaited box set of her hit tarot deck and guidebook—together for the first time in a beautifully designed keepsake package. Now, for the first time, Kim’s The. Wild Unknown tarot deck and tarot guidebook are available together in one beautiful, high-quality keepsake box set.
Reviews
"Also, the deck & guide containers are sturdy too."
"My resistance was based on two things: first, it was so wildly popular that I was reluctant to be part of a fad. And second, one of the cards features a worm cut in half by a sword, an image that initially creeped me out and caused me to avoid the deck. Within the outer protective cardboard sleeve is the large, sturdy box, which has a flap with a magnetic closure. A silk ribbon lifts the guidebook out, to reveal underneath the actual deck, in its own box. That has its place, because we all know that meanings shift and change depending on the individual, the other cards in the layout, etc. Reading for oneself is always hard, because we have a tendency to want to see in the cards the outcome or the meaning we desire, and so it's difficult to be objective."
"It comes in a sleeve, then a nice hard box that opens to find a delightful message hidden, the book is nestled in there, and once removed, the cards are in another hard box with another sweet message inside the box lid. Thanks Kim, for the great deck."
"Thank you Kim Krans for such a beautifuly designed deck and amazingly written guidebook."
"This is my favourite deck, EVER."
"Beautiful and feel an immediate connection."
"So now every time you Shuffle the deck you know where the "world card" is because it's bent."
"Some of the cards are spot on In Their simplicity, dramatic design and description, but many are too vague in both image and guidance to make sense immediately not to mention memorize to the degree that it is automatic for me."

Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife
A highly trained neurosurgeon, Alexander knew that NDEs feel real, but are simply fantasies produced by brains under extreme stress. While his body lay in coma, Alexander journeyed beyond this world and encountered an angelic being who guided him into the deepest realms of super-physical existence. Today Alexander is a doctor who believes that true health can be achieved only when we realize that God and the soul are real and that death is not the end of personal existence but only a transition. Pim van Lommel, cardiologist, author of Consciousness Beyond Life: The Science of the Near-Death Experience. His honest struggle to make sense of this unforgettable journey is a gripping story, unique in the literature of spiritual experiences, that may well change how we understand our role in the universe.” —Bruce Greyson, MD, co-editor of The Handbook of Near-Death Experiences: Thirty Years of Investigation.
Reviews
"Sometimes when I tell my story, the reactions are good and sometimes people just think the brain is reacting to the death process! To feel totally immersed in LOVE, cannot be put into the languages of this world - I've tried and failed. I really stopped caring if people believed me or not, however, when they want to know what I experienced - I'm always happy to tell them what happened to me - as best I can - with the limitations that language can express! Rather you are a believer or not, Religious or Attheist, Agnostic, or what ever you are, at the very least you will come away with questions, that will at least make you wonder!!!"
"Upon reflection, Eben Alexander's transparency into an extremly personal experience is remarkable and a gift I very much appreciate."
"This book confirmed the faith that I have had all my life that we are never alone."
"It gives hope."
"One of my acquaintance borrowed the book to read and she thanked me for letting her read the book."

Sacred Woman: A Guide to Healing the Feminine Body, Mind, and Spirit
A transformative journey of physical and ancestral healing from a renowned herbalist, natural health expert, and dedicated healer of women’s bodies and women’s souls. “Just when I thought I was all alone, I found myself walking with a group of conscious women who were taking sacred steps and speaking sacred words. Through Sacred Woman , she has given us the sacred tools we need to live our lives in this new century.” —Hazelle Goodman, actress “ Sacred Woman offers profound wisdom to all who seek healing and transformation. Priestess of Neb-Het, an ancient Afrakan order, and a holistic healer, Queen Afua here guides women to spiritual and physical health.
Reviews
"The suggestions would just get filed in the back of my mind like, “yeah, I should add Epsom salts to my bath or drops of lavender oil”. I understand that everyone comes from differing educational backgrounds and lifestyles but I found it surprising for women to lack knowledge of their monthly menstrual cycle. Queen Afua’s higher power has multiple parts- Maat, Het-Hru, Nefer Atum, Heru, and Tehuti. It doesn’t bother me because I recognize that religion is a choice and the assumption of Christian belief that many American’s have is often just blind acceptance of a forced culture. I respect Queen Afua’s examination and explanation of how the tenets of her faith can lead to a womens’ self-healing. Many in the United States, as it is a supposed Christian nation, could benefit from such an examination instead of blind dependence on medical doctors, pills, and the health care system as our gods. I understand that this book is meant to be an all inclusive guide but… I just don’t think I am on a path to becoming a sacred woman as laid out by Queen Afua."

"Wonderful book, very useful information."

Best Psychology & Religion

The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion
He blends his own research findings with those of anthropologists, historians, and other psychologists to draw a map of the moral domain, and he explains why conservatives can navigate that map more skillfully than can liberals. In a stunning final chapter on ideology and civility, Haidt shows what each side is right about, and why we need the insights of liberals, conservatives, and libertarians to flourish as a nation. “Jonathan Haidt is one of smartest and most creative psychologists alive, and his newest book, The Righteous Mind, is a tour de force—a brave, brilliant and eloquent exploration of the most important issues of our time. This penetrating yet accessible book will help readers understand the righteous minds that inhabit politics.” —Larry Sabato, University of Virginia, author of A More Perfect Constitution “A remarkable and original synthesis of social psychology, political analysis, and moral reasoning that reflects the best of sciences in these fields and adds evidence that we are innately capable of the decency and righteousness needed for societies to survive.” —Edward O. Wilson, University Research Professor Emeritus, Harvard University. “Haidt’s a good thing.” – The Atlantic online. “A well-informed tour of contemporary moral psychology…A cogent rendering of a moral universe of fertile complexity and latent flexibility.” – Kirkus. “[Haidt’s] framework for the different moral universes of liberals and conservatives struck me as a brilliant breakthrough… The Righteous Mind provides an invaluable road map.” –Miller-McCune.com. “A much-needed voice of moral sanity.” – Booklist "An important and timely book…His ideas are controversial but they make you think…Haidt has made his reputation as a social psychologist at the University of Virginia, where he and his colleagues explore reason and intuition, why people disagree so passionately and how the moral mind works." The book is beautifully written, and it is truly unusual to encounter a book that makes a major theoretical contribution yet encourages one to turn its pages enthusiastically.” —Christopher Boehm, University of Southern California, author of Moral Origins.
Reviews
"Haidt's understanding of human morality and the science of communication and decision making are weaved together into an approachable, beautiful and potentially life changing symphony. You can probably imagine how frustrated I felt when I was consistently unable to win arguments about out-there, government's coming for us-so buy some guns, conspiracy discussions. One of the foundational pieces discussed in the book is the fact that we, as humans, make decisions in the parts of our brain that aren't subject to critical thinking. If you want to sway someones opinion, Haidt suggests, you must first appeal to their elephant (the emotional part of their brain or "why they feel the way they do"). I only wish everyone could read this book, understand their natural decision making process and be aware of what's happening to them when they have disagreements or strong opinions on a subject."
"This book was stressful for me to read because I really wanted to keep not liking the people I don't agree with."
"I lean toward "liberal" idealogies, but this book made me realize the value of a more diverse perspective for the survival of the human race and how my anti-religious viewpoints had incorporated "sacred" elements of their own."
"When we use the author's model to understand apparently bizarre, contradictory or self destructive behavior by someone whose political, religious or philosophical views are very different from our own, we can often discover that that individual is not necessarily psychotic, unintelligent or otherwise mentally disabled - at least no more than the rest of us."
"One of the best books I've read."
"It's an unusually readable academic product of mind-Opening scholarship and, I found, accurate analysis."
"This is worth reading."
"I'm not through with it, but it's well written with sources cited."
