  Tarot Disassembled Guidebook -...

  This guide shows the traditional symbolism of the tarot in bold graphics, allowing readers to connect intuitively to the deeper aspects of the cards.   The Tarot Disassembled Guidebook provides fresh insight into interpreting the traditional symbolism found in the tarot. In this companion book to the Tarot Disassembled card deck, author and creator Jennifer Cooper Steidley has deconstructed the symbolism, presenting it in bold graphics, allowing the user to connect with the tarot in a completely intuitive way—free from any pictorial narrative around gender, skin color, age, size, ability, or any other human constructs.   Sometimes we need to take something apart in order to appreciate what’s in it. The same is true for the ingredients of the tarot: the individual symbols that make up the complex picture of a tarot card. There is potential for deep understanding that comes with the act of disassembling, and this guidebook deconstructs each of the seventy-eight cards. The Fool card is shown as a satchel, a dog, the sun, a feather, a flower, a mountain. Each card remains undeniably recognizable. The deconstructed simplicity allows tarot’s rich symbolism to become clear, and readers can see how the symbols wind their way through each card in the deck.  Tarot Disassembled is based on the symbology of the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot—arguably the most iconic and widely used deck in the world. Once the disassembling of tarot symbols is fully understood, you can begin to apply this deconstructing technique to other decks to find the inner patterns. This unique and innovative guidebook includes keywords, astrological and planetary associations, and elemental associations for each tarot card. It can be used with any deck based on the Rider-Waite system or as a companion to the Tarot Disassembled card deck, sold separately.

  This world we live in experiences death and disaster on a daily basis. There is no person on earth who either has not experiences health problems, or who has not had a family member who suffers from ill health. Pandemics such as the coronavirus affect every one, even those who do not get the disease personally are still being forces to get the covid injections, wear masks with many businesses closing down. There are hundreds of diseases that cause so much pain and suffering. 
  Then there are the constant wars and terror attacks that are becoming increasingly common. These events also affect many people and cause fear and anxiety. Today, there is an estimated 110 armed conflicts around the world. Some of these conflicts make the headlines, many do not. Some of them have started only recently, while others have been simmering for more than 50 years.  
  We also see natural disasters occurring in many parts of the world. Volcanoes, earthquakes, floods, fires and droughts. These events cause a great deal of suffering and death in diverse places all around the world. 
  When you consider the impact of all these troubles the world is experiencing today, you can see that there is no one who is not affected in one way or another. We all suffer from these things every day. 
  This is why all these troubles lead many people to ask the big question about God. If God is all powerful, sovereign over all the earth, always present in all areas of the world and has the ability to prevent these disasters, then why does he allow these events to continue to happen? If he can prevent these things from happening, then why does he not stop them? Why does he allow sickness to affect millions of people? Why does he allow droughts, fire, flood and famines to kill millions of people each year? Is this because he cannot do anything about them?

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. The following short book discusses some aspects of creating Peace, Unity and Strength within society. This discussion is based on Chapter 3 Alee Imran, Verses 102-109 of the Holy Quran: 
   
    
  “O you who have believed, fear Allah as He should be feared and do not die except as Muslims [in submission to Him]. And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided. And remember the favor of Allah upon you - when you were enemies and He brought your hearts together and you became, by His favor, brothers. And you were on the edge of a pit of the Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus does Allah make clear to you His verses that you may be guided. And let there be [arising] from you a nation inviting to [all that is] good, enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong, and those will be the successful. And do not be like the ones who became divided and differed after the clear proofs had come to them. And those will have a great punishment. On the Day [some] faces will turn white and [some] faces will turn black. As for those whose faces turn black, [to them it will be said], "Did you disbelieve after your belief? Then taste the punishment for what you used to reject." But as for those whose faces turn white, [they will be] within the mercy of Allah. They will abide therein eternally. These are the verses of Allah. We recite them to you with purpose; and Allah wants no injustice to the worlds. To Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And to Allah will [all] matters be returned.” 
   
     
  Implementing the lessons discussed will aid one to Adopt Positive Characteristics. Adopting Positive Characteristics Leads to Peace of Mind and Body.

  Amounting to Nothing - Poems

  Paul Quenon

  • 0

  After 60 years at Gethsemani Abbey, Br. Paul follows up his recent memoir, In Praise of the Useless Life, with a poetic collection that shows how to do just that – by writing poetry. 
  
  
   
  
  Amounting to Nothing is both practical and metaphysical, a puzzling over the ultimate things of life, and a descending on the Benedictine ladder of humility to the earthly creatures surrounding a Kentucky monastery. This is less an exploration in self-knowledge than a forgetting of self in the wonders of everything. Quenon treads bare footed on the margins of mortality and immortality, with wit, thought, and hope.

  It was supposed to be another typical day at the office. Stevie Charles knew the famous rock band, Split Decision, would be staying at the hotel where she worked. But she had no idea that she was in danger of being swept off of her feet by one of the band members. 
  Stevie didn't believe in fairy tales. She wasn't jaded, she was simply indifferent. She was too focused on her business to waste time daydreaming about all the A-list celebrities that came into the hotel on a regular basis. 
  But David Abramson would turn out to be different. He was her prince charming disguised as a rock star, and Stevie found that she was more than happy to be his Cinderella.
