THE
LUNAR GOSPEL:
The
Complete Guide to Your Astrological Moon
by
Cal Garrison
Paperback:
224 pages
Publisher:
Weiser Books (April 1, 2018)
List
Price: $18.95
FROM THE
PUBLISHER:
Most people
are familiar with their sun sign--the sign determined by your
birthday. According to astrologer Cal Garrison, however, it's
actually your moon sign that is the true key to your horoscope.
The Lunar
Gospel is a comprehensive guide to moon sign astrology, covering the
significant role the moon plays in the horoscope. Cal explores the
role of the moon as it manifests in the different signs and houses,
as well as its relationship to the other planets in the chart. The
Lunar Gospel clearly and insightfully gives you all the tools you
need to understand your own moon sign--and the moon sign of other
people.
Reviews:
"Cal
Garrison's writing is gentle, the insights intense. The Lunar Gospel
is a thoroughly graceful and knowledgeable book."
-Martha
Lang-Wescott, author of Architects of Time and other books
"We
all have a relationship with the moon; we gaze at it nightly in the
sky and feel it in our souls. Cal Garrison deepens that relationship
and helps us recognize and appreciate our own lunar nature. I
thoroughly enjoyed The Lunar Gospel: The Complete Guide to Your
Astrological Moon. It is well written and easy to read and I came
away with greater respect for this most familiar and mysterious of
symbols." -Virginia Bell, author of Midlife Is Not a
Crisis: Using Astrology to Thrive in the Second Half of Life
"The
moon sees both the day and night, but the sun sees only the day. I am
always pleased to see a book that focuses on the moon to begin to
balance the amount written about the sun. Cal Garrison's book The
Lunar Gospel: The Complete Guide to Your Astrological Moon will let
you see yourself and the world around you from the broad reaching
perspective of the moon. Whether you've just begun to learn astrology
or astrology is your trusted guide in life, The Lunar Gospel will
shed a beautiful light that reveals insights with every page you
turn."
-Ivo
Dominguez, Jr., author of Practical Astrology for Witches and
Pagans

Since
originating in Japan in 1922, Reiki has been adapted to cultural
traditions across the world. Reiki practitioners use a technique
called palm healing or hands-on healing through which a “universal
energy” is transferred through the palms of the practitioner to the
patient in order to encourage emotional or physical healing.
Reiki is
used for healing oneself and others and for spiritual development. It
works by combining two things: initiations that awaken and open your
energy channels and techniques for using your hands, eyes, and
intention to direct this energy flow where needed. Anyone who wishes
to do this work must prepare by following particular methods and
steps, all wonderfully explained in this introductory guide.
Discover
why Reiki is so unique and learn about its origins, five precepts,
attunements, basic hand positions, and special treatments created by
Reiki’s founder, Mikao Usui. All the spiritual practices here have
been specifically chosen to guide readers on a path of love, light,
healing, and self-knowledge.

Unlock Your Creativity and Awaken Your Intuition
by Shaheen
Miro (Author), Theresa Reed (Foreword)
Cards: 160
pages= Guidebook, 43 Cards.
Publisher:
Weiser Books; Tcr Crds edition (March 1, 2018)
Language:
English
List price:
$26.95
FROM THE
PUBLISHER:
The Lunar
Nomad Oracle is a set of keys for unlocking and understanding your
intuitive side, your "lunar self." As a nomad on the path
of the lunar self, you will awaken your sense of wonder and discover
your creative desires to facilitate introspection, awareness, and
lasting change.
The Lunar
Nomad Oracle is inspired by the traditional Lenormand system, but
unlike the Lenormand, this deck comprises 43 cards and additional
significator cards that are multiracial and multiethnic.
The Lunar
Nomad Oracle cards are rich with layers, colors, and imagery, all
designed to speak to the intuitive self. The book and deck allow
users to explore their inner depths, looking for clues and prompts to
activate their lunar side--their creativity, intuition, and inner
wisdom. The symbolism of the cards helps the user formulate a story
or reading.
The process
will be familiar to followers of tarot, but because The Lunar Nomad
Oracle does not have suits or a linear structure, readers have the
freedom and fluidity to really explore the deck and add their own
insights and interpretations.
