Seila Orienta wrote this description of the 4th Tarot Card according to the system of Franz Bardon.For the first time in the history of occult literature, this 4th Tarot Card of the great Hermes Trismegistos is being described and revealed. Included are unknown concentration and meditation exercises. Furthermore, there is reference to the difference of magic and mysticism, as well as the dangers of a one-sided path. Ultimately, upon completion of the 4th Tarot Card, there will be a technique of unification with the universal God, who is the master of the sun sphere. In Kabbala, this master is called 'Metatron'.
The Fourth Tarot (partly) found by a Hermetic student in the Czech Republic. Lost for nearly 60 years, this new Franz Bardon book is a wonderful addition to his entire opus on Hermetic Magic.

They've lived a lot of life, and the Golden Girls are here to provide some pearls of wisdom (with more than a bit of sarcasm and some naiveté). From "Sticks and stones can break your bones. But cement pays homage to tradition," to "Isn't it amazing how I can feel so bad, and still look so good?" to "As they say in St. Olaf: 'Helderbargenflergenflurfennerfen!'," America's four favorite housemates-Betty White, Bea Arthur, Estelle Getty, and Rue McClanahan-share their hard-earned life lessons.
In The Wisdom of the Shire, Noble Smith sheds a light on the life-changing ideas tucked away inside the classic works of J. R. R. Tolkien and his most beloved creation—the stouthearted Hobbits. How can simple pleasures such as gardening, taking long walks, and eating delicious meals with friends make you significantly happier? Why is the act of giving presents on your birthday instead of getting them such a revolutionary idea? What should you do when dealing with the Gollum in your life? And how can we carry the burden of our own "magic ring of power" without becoming devoured by it? The Wisdom of the Shire holds the answers to these and more of life's essential questions.
A myth-shattering view of the Islamic world's myriad scientific innovations and the role they played in sparking the European Renaissance. Many of the innovations that we think of as hallmarks of Western science had their roots in the Arab world of the middle ages, a period when much of Western Christendom lay in intellectual darkness. Jim al- Khalili, a leading British-Iraqi physicist, resurrects this lost chapter of history, and given current East-West tensions, his book could not be timelier. With transporting detail, al-Khalili places readers in the hothouses of the Arabic Enlightenment, shows how they led to Europe's cultural awakening, and poses the question: Why did the Islamic world enter its own dark age after such a dazzling flowering?
The 1970s cult TV show Kung Fu introduced an entire generation of Americans to the ways of eastern philosophy. Its central appeal rested with the lead character, Kwai Chang Caine, whose graceful ways and respect for all life, attracted viewers of all ages, creeds, and colors.The over four hundred quotes of The Kung Fu Book of Wisdom are gathered from the words of Caine and Master Po and Master Kan, the Shaolin monks who were Caine's teachers. Arranged by notable topics that the show addressed: courage, discipline, freedom, and harmony--to name a few--this book offers clear insights of eastern wisdom.
Beginning with the classic book The Prism of Lyra in 1989, Lyssa Royal-Holt’s channeling has focused on presenting profound galactic wisdom in a grounded way to assist our lives on Earth. In this book, the most detailed and powerful channeled teachings that have come through in recent years are presented in depth. These new teachings are sourced from ancient Vega mysticism — the awakening teachings brought to Earth in ancient days from both Sirius and the Pleiades called the School of the Nine Serpents. After millennia of absence, our Sirian and Pleiadian ancestors have now resumed their teachings to match the next phase of human evolution. This book contains two threads: The first thread is the awakening teachings of the Pleiades that were part of the ancient school called the Golden Lake Teachings. These work with the heart and have the gentle and distinct flavor of our Pleiadian ancestors. The second thread is the Sirian teachings that make up the structural foundation of the School of the Nine Serpents. You don’t need to believe in the reality of extraterrestrials to gain immense benefit from the wisdom in this book. These teachings are consciousness-centered and based on the necessary integration of body, mind, spirit, and emotion, as well as light and shadow. Together, the Pleiadian and Sirian teachings provide an invaluable road map for the next phase of human evolution — the integration of polarity and the awakening of human consciousness beyond duality.
