Most readers interested in tarot own a couple of different decks, as well as some tarot "cookbooks" that explain the meaning of the cards and their symbolism--like a Cliff's Notes for tarot. These tarot tools result in fairly standard, mundane readings. But there is another level to tarot--a level that can turn an ordinary tarot reader into a true adept. "Torat Decoded transforms ordinary tarot readings into readings that are profound and even surprising--through the understanding of tarot's dignitaries. Tarot dignitaries are the interaction of the cards with each other in a spread and within a range of correspondences. Tarot author Elizabeth Hazel presents a concise useable system for working with tarot dignities to add incredible depth to readings. One card placed next to another might not have a readily apparent connection--but interpreting tarot dignities could make it very clear that one card enhances, or hinders, the meaning of another. The same is true for tarot neighborhoods within a spread, as well as the entire reading. Using the "Tarot Decoded system for working with tarot dignities can take anyone to the next level of tarot reading. The book offers a progressive look at the cards, their dignities and their correspondences. With Hazel's advice and clear examples--and a little practice--readings take on a new depth, integration and power.

The Chateau is a possible location of an immense treasure, such as a Templar, Cathar, or Priory of Sion hoard. The final resting place of a famous artifact like the Ark of the Covenant, the Spear of Longinus, the Emerald Tablets of Hermes Trismegistus- or even the Holy Grail.The authors also examine Rennes le Chateau''s proximity to Cathar and Templar fortresses, its mystical layout, and its location on the same Paris meridian as so many other esoteric mysteries.Extensive appendices in the book offer possible solutions to secret cryptograms, point out odd connections and commonalities between Rennes le Chateau and J.R.R. Tolkien''s Lord of the Rings, and suggest the possibility of fourth-dimension/tesseract implications.

Thorsson shows you: -- how to make your own runes; -- how to load the rune with numinous power; -- how to prepare the optimum setting for a rune reading; -- how to prepare yourself psychologically and spiritually for casting the runes.The book is complete -- including general rune meanings, divinatory tables, the positive and negative aspects of each rune, its linguistic component and phonetic value. Thorsson provides runic layouts and sample readings, as well as alternative ways to cast lots and answer yes/no questions. In each case, he is explicit, precise, and generous -- he trusts the runecaster's art and the integrity of the runecaster who is new to the craft. This volume is sure to restore runecasting to its position as a sacred art.

First published in Detroit in 1919, the legendary Blue Equinox was Crowley''s first attempt to publicize the principles and aims of the magical secret society Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.) and its allied order the A.''.A.''. In it, Crowley laid out the esoteric, social, ethical, and philosophical ideas that he believed provided the framework for a new ethics and the liberated morality of the future. Upon publication, the book was threatened with suppression by the authorities of the day. Many of the papers in the Blue Equinox anticipated social liberties we tend to take for granted today.
