What is wisdom? Where does it come from? Where can we find it? And what does it mean in our lives? In Secrets of the Oracle, David Shaw explores these questions by turning to the works of wisdom writers, whose words retain their meaning and transformative power even centuries after they were written. Wisdom literature exists in two shaping forms - the aphorism, geared towards the past, and the oracle, a revolutionary impulse looking to the future. Secrets of the Oracle discusses both types of wisdom, finding them in the works of poets and philosophers from Tennyson and Zeno to Yeats and George Berkeley, from Browning and Schleiermacher to T.S. Eliot and F.H. Bradley. The book also discusses the contribution to wisdom of Jesus and the author of Ecclesiastes, of Abraham Lincoln and Norman Maclean. Part celebration of wisdom found and part lament for wisdom lost, Secrets of the Oracle is convincing in its assertion that wisdom articulates what is and offers creative visions of the future.

THE MORE YOU KNOW ABOUT THE FUTURE, THE MORE THERE MAY BE TO FEAR. Tara Sheridan is the best criminal profiler around—and the most unconventional. Trained as a forensic psychologist, Tara also specializes in Tarot card reading. But she doesn’t need her divination skills to realize that the new assignment from her friend and sometime lover, Agent Harry Li, is a dangerous proposition in every way. Former Cold War operatives, all linked to a top-secret operation tracking the disposal of nuclear weapons in Russia, are disappearing. There are no bodies, and no clues to their whereabouts. Harry suspects a conspiracy to sell arms to the highest bidder. The cards—and Tara’s increasingly ominous dreams—suggest something darker. Even as Tara sorts through her feelings for Harry and her fractured relationship with the mysterious order known as Delphi’s Daughters, a killer is growing more ruthless by the day. And a nightmare that began decades ago in Chernobyl will reach a terrifying endgame that not even Tara could have foreseen. . . .

Did you know that the most revered esoteric divination deck in Europe after Tarot is the Belline oracle? A French cartomancy reference since its first publication, the oracle's illustrations were created in the 1800s by Edmond, famous card reader and astrologer whose clients included Alexandre Dumas, Victor Hugo, Napoleon III and many alumni of the time. Marcel Forget, known as Belline, Prince of Seers used his name and reputation to bring the oracle to the masses in the 1960s; many books in French have been published since, but no significant English manual on the Belline Oracle has come to light - until now! Following her significant contribution to the Lenormand oracle's renaissance, Sylvie Steinbach introduces the Secrets of the Belline Oracle, sharing her analysis of the fifty-three cards supporting Edmond's definitions, and her use of the oracle for modern card reading. With this essential introduction, you will learn to understand the 53 cards' meanings by unlocking their symbolism, integrate Sylvie Steinbach's contemporary attributes on the original definitions, apply the cards using basic and advanced spreads that address any type of inquiries, and offer spiritual readings such as mediumship, past life and manifestation work to your clients. If you seek to expand your knowledge on oracles, this manual is your next step to mastering the Edmond-Belline oracle masterpiece.
