Summary

The Symbolism Of The Tarot - P. D. Ouspensky - Pyotr Demianovich Ouspensky was a noted and controversial Russian mystic and esotericist. This book describes the mystical symbolism of the Major Arcana of the Tarot. These esoteric, or divinatory meanings were derived in great part from the writings of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn group, of which Ouspenskii had been a member. The meanings and many of the illustrations showed the influence of astrology as well as Qabalistic principles.Excerpt: No study of occult philosophy is possible without an acquaintance with symbolism, for if the words occultism and symbolism are correctly used, they mean almost one and the same thing. Symbolism cannot be learned as one learns to build bridges or speak a foreign language, and for the interpretation of symbols a special cast of mind is necessary; in addition to knowledge, special faculties, the power of creative thought and a developed imagination are required. One who understands the use of symbolism in the arts, knows, in a general way, what is meant by occult symbolism. But even then a special training of the mind is necessary, in order to comprehend the "language of the Initiates", and to express in this language the intuitions as they arise.There are many methods for developing the "sense of symbols" in those who are striving to understand the hidden forces of Nature and Man, and for teaching the fundamental principles as well as the elements of the esoteric language. The most synthetic, and one of the most interesting of these methods, is the Tarot.

    Charles Dickens created some of the world's best-known fictional characters and is regarded by many as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. His works enjoyed unprecedented popularity during his lifetime and, by the 20th century, critics and scholars had recognized him as a literary genius.  After the success of A Christmas Carol in 1843  Dickens continued the series throughout the 1840s, maintaining what he called "the Carol philosophy" to "strike a sledgehammer blow" for the poor, uneducated, and repressed. In typical fashion he drove his message home with a mixture of humor and good cheer. Although subsequent Christmas books sold well at the time of their initial release, they have not enjoyed the staying power of A Christmas Carol. The Christmas books, particularly The Chimes, the Cricket, and the Carol, were the centerpiece of Dickens' public reading tours in the 1850s and 60s with A Christmas Carol far and away the most popular with audiences. Dickens discontinued the Christmas books after The Haunted Man, devoting his time to the publication of weekly magazines, Household Words (1850-1858) and All the Year Round (1859-1867), in which he included annual Christmas stories. Henceforth Dickens was forever linked with the celebration of Christmas. We present them here as a special Icon classic five audiobook collection. Copyright Eden Garret Giuliano, 2021

In a humble peach orchard, three men swear an oath that will shake empires: the righteous Liú Bèi, the godlike warrior Guān Yǔ, and the tempestuous Zhāng Fēi. Their brotherhood defies the rising darkness – the monstrous tyrant Dǒng Zhuō who puppeteers the throne, bathing streets in blood, guarded by the undefeatable demigod of war Lǚ Bù astride the mythic Red Hare.  
Amidst the storm walks Cáo Cāo, a strategist of unmatched brilliance and ruthless ambition, dancing on the edge of damnation. And in the shadows, the young courtesan Diāo Chán (Sable Cicada) weaves a plot of beauty and wit to achieve what armies cannot: toppling a colossus of cruelty.
