Download or read book The Grandmother s Tarot written by ALICE. INSTONE and published by . This book was released on 2018-03-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Grandmother's Tarot is intended to act as a surrogate grandmother by using pictures and messages to translate some of her essence and attempt to recreate what playing cards with a wise, loving grandmother would be like. Each card has a saying around its edge offering shrewd and intuitive Grandmotherly thoughts, and what we would want her to offer: wisdom, experience, reassurance, love, patience, stoicism, continuity, and comfort. The Grandmother's Tarot has been made to be played and shared but the cards also offer an additional layer of guidance through interpreting the images. Twenty-two cards resemble the Major Arcana of Tarot decks, the rest are familiar cultural and narrative motifs. The cards themselves are also therapeutic, the motifs magical, ambiguous, enigmatic. The accompanying book helps you to find some of the messages in the cards, although the best method is to listen to what you recognize or perceive in them. There are no inherently negative cards. "Reading the cards" should be a therapeutic process for gaining valuable understanding, and should affirm your own intuition. As the archetypes spring from the ancient shared narratives of our forebears, they are universally identifiable. They are the figures that help us navigate life--from childhood fairy tales to dreams and the universe, they are characters we recognize all around us if we listen to our instincts. Early storytellers utilized this well of symbols to help the shadows to recede. They have many modern counterparts, who still help bind the world together. Stories and kindness stop everything falling apart. They teach us how to journey through the dark woods, to treat strangers decently (in the words of the Grandmother, "Be kinder than you have to be"), they offer moral and humane structures that enable us to prevail, trust, and love.

Download or read book The Lost Tarot written by Sarah Henstra and published by Doubleday Canada. This book was released on 2024-06-18 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A legendary set of tarot cards is the key to unravelling decades of secrets in this dazzling novel about art and deception, from Governor General's Literary Award–winning author Sarah Henstra. Theresa Bateman, a struggling junior art historian in Toronto, receives a single tarot card in the mail. The image is unmistakably the work of celebrated avant-garde artist Lark Ringold, and its discovery would mean a breakthrough in Theresa's career. But the legendary Ringold Tarot doesn't exist. . . . Its paintings were lost in a fire that claimed Lark's life along with dozens of others—the final, horrific implosion of a notorious cult called the Shown. Sixty years earlier in England, Lark and his twin sister Nell join a bohemian commune led by their charismatic uncle. While Lark settles happily into his work on the tarot project to aid in his uncle's occult teachings, Nell finds it harder to adjust. Just beneath the Shown's golden surface she uncovers secrets that, if revealed, threaten to erupt into chaos. Why was the tarot card sent to Theresa? How can she prove its connection to Ringold when her art-world superiors declare it a fake? And who has been holding onto it for all these years—and why? As Theresa follows the trail of the lost tarot, she is drawn into the deeply entwined mysteries of Nell, Lark and the Shown. What begins as the tale of one artist and the battle over his legacy unspools into a web of passion, violence and deceit. In twist after startling twist, and in vibrant, exquisite prose, The Lost Tarot is a landmark novel about love, creativity, power and perception.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reader's Favorite book award recipient and Arizona Authors Association 1st place winner. Sally Altass, Reedsy Services Reviewer: 5 STARS! An exciting teenage thriller set in the 1960s. Spies, UFOs, cover-ups, and much more. There's a rising tension throughout the book, and the ending had me gasping for breath. Her destiny lies in the cards… Fifteen-year-old Melanie Simpson uncovers a secret her father held for twenty years—material he smuggled out from a crashed UFO near Roswell, New Mexico in 1947 and has hidden somewhere. Now he is dead, killed by a Russian agent who was after it. Her father never gave it up, and Melanie has now found it, and along with it, the interest of dangerous men and their organizations who will do anything to get this valuable material from her. She also learns of a device, still hidden away somewhere, that was given to her father by a dying alien at the Roswell site. In a letter left behind for her he tells of a quest, and that if she is reading this letter, he must be dead and it is now up to her to finish it. She knows the device must have something to do with the quest, but where is it? With the help of her boyfriend Frankie, and friends Beanie and Katch, she searches for clues, all while facing the dangers of those after the alien material. Then, during a tarot card reading she learns there is even more to what is happening to her, much more—a link to the stars and a destiny revealed within the cards. Set against the historical backdrop of UFO sightings, events, and government cover-ups of the time, Melanie is driven toward that destiny, and with each step she falls deeper into a world of lies, deceit, doubts about her sanity, real danger, and even possible death.

Download or read book Ariel written by Sylvia Plath and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ariel (1965) contains many of Sylvia Plath's best-known poems written in an extraordinary burst of creativity just before her death in 1963, including 'Lady Lazarus', 'Edge', 'Daddy' and 'Paralytic'. The first of four collections to be published by Faber & Faber, Ariel is the volume on which Sylvia Plath's reputation as one of the most original, daring and gifted poets of the twentieth century rests. This beautiful hardback reproduces the classic design of the first edition of a volume now recognised to be one of the most shocking and iconic collections of poetry of the twentieth century. 'If the poems are despairing, vengeful and destructive, they are at the same time tender, open to things, and also unusually clever, sardonic, hardminded . . . They are works of great artistic purity and, despite all the nihilism, great generosity . . . the book is a major literary event.' A. Alvarez in the Observer
