Sinopsis

"Polo Champions" offers a comprehensive exploration of polo's fascinating journey from ancient Persian military training grounds to today's elite equestrian sport. The book masterfully weaves together historical narrative, technical instruction, and player profiles to create a complete picture of this complex sport that demands the unique combination of horsemanship, tactical thinking, and team coordination.Through meticulous research drawing from private archives, sporting records, and firsthand accounts, the book illuminates how polo adapted across cultures while maintaining its core principles. Readers discover how British cavalry officers transformed a Central Asian military exercise into an organized Western sport, and how countries like Argentina and the United States later revolutionized playing styles.The technical sections provide detailed insights into crucial elements like stick work, riding techniques, and the vital role of polo ponies, supported by slow-motion photography and tactical diagrams. The book progresses logically through three main sections: historical development, technical analysis, and player profiles, making it valuable for both newcomers and experienced enthusiasts.It examines major tournaments, significant players, and the sport's evolution across polo-playing nations, while addressing contemporary challenges such as accessibility and sustainability. This analytical yet accessible approach makes it an essential resource for anyone interested in understanding the intricate world of competitive polo and its rich historical legacy.

    “You do not learn tarot. Tarot teaches you.”—Rabbi Lamed Ben Clifford   For many, the tarot serves as a compass, illuminating the path to their “true will” and guiding them toward their destiny. If you’ve ever felt stuck or unsure of which way to turn, the tarot offers a beacon, revealing unseen options and providing clarity on difficult decisions. Now, you have a unique opportunity to master the art of tarot under Lon Milo DuQuette, an internationally recognized authority on tarot and esoteric principles.   You will discover how to interact with the cards, whether new to the tarot or an experienced reader, along with learning the unique colors, correspondences, the basic symbolism of each of the seventy-eight tarot cards, their history, and simple ritual exercises designed to activate and integrate the spiritual forces resident in each individual card. By the end of the book, you’ll bring together all the knowledge you’ve learned to create your own tarot deck—a tangible reflection of your journey and a tool for continued spiritual growth and divinatory practice.   “This is an indispensable tarot grimoire that is both accessible and profound. The serious student of Western Mystery Traditions is going to cherish this text.”—Benebell Wen, author of I Ching, the Oracle and Holistic Tarot   “Few people have explored the underlying dynamics among the qabalistic and tarot correspondences to the extent that Lon DuQuette has.”—Mary Greer, author of Tarot for Your Self
