The Portland Deck by Robin Herbert Pdf

Malcolm Sitter, an arrogant young right wing Christian, member of a very conservative sect, manages to recruit an up and coming gay activist, Cyril Baughan to his cause, and convert him to Catholicism to boot, by manipulating him over his loneliness. Cyril's complete reversal is a feather in Malcolm's cap and Cyril proves an enthusiastic and invaluable asset to his side. Malcolm finds he has a strange psychic connection with Cyril that neither of them can explain. Malcolm soon comes to realise that the ostensibly religious organisation he belongs to, the Advent Chapel, is the front for a sinister scheme and that he has been played just as much as Cyril has and that he doesn't really know who anyone really is, including himself. Malcolm and Cyril develop a real friendship and eventually fall in love. But they also discover they are the losers in a war that they never even knew about and that they are about to become enmeshed in a plot involving dark magic and political intrigue. And what is the secret of the Portland Deck and the curse attached to it by Thomas Halyard?

Tarot and Other Meditation Decks by Emily E. Auger Pdf

Arthur E. Waite and artist Pamela Colman Smith's Rider-Waite Tarot (1909) is the most popular Tarot in the world. Today, it is affectionately referred to as the Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot in recognition of the high quality of Smith's contributions. Waite and Smith's deck has become the gold standard for identifying and analyzing contemporary Tarot and other meditation decks based on archetypes. Developments in both visual and literary history and theory have influenced Tarot since its fifteenth-century invention as a game and subsequent adaptations for esotericism, cartomancy, and meditation. This analysis consider Tarot in relation to established modern and postmodern art movements, such as Symbolism, Surrealism, and Pattern and Decoration Art, as well as the concepts and theories informing both the dominance and the dissolution of the modernist "grid" and hierarchical priorities. This work also explores the close connection between Tarot and the invention of the literary novel and includes new material on the representation of Tarot in film and fiction. A new chapter addresses the growing influence of the archetypal "shadow" and "shadow work" on Tarot as an artistic form, narrative genre, and practice in the new millennium.

A Cultural History of Tarot by Helen Farley Pdf

The enigmatic and richly illustrative tarot deck reveals a host of strange and iconic mages, such as The Tower, The Wheel of Fortune, The Hanged Man and The Fool: over which loom the terrifying figures of Death and The Devil. The 21 numbered playing cards of tarot have always exerted strong fascination, way beyond their original purpose, and the multiple resonances of the deck are ubiquitous. From T S Eliot and his 'wicked pack of cards' in "The Waste Land" to the psychic divination of Solitaire in Ian Fleming's "Live and Let Die"; and from the satanic novels of Dennis Wheatley to the deck's adoption by New Age practitioners, the cards have in modern times become inseparably connected to the occult. They are now viewed as arguably the foremost medium of prophesying and foretelling. Yet, as the author shows, originally the tarot were used as recreational playing cards by the Italian nobility in the Renaissance. It was only much later, in the 18th and 19th centuries, that the deck became associated with esotericism before evolving finally into a diagnostic tool for mind, body and spirit. This is the first book to explore the remarkably varied ways in which tarot has influenced culture. Tracing the changing patterns of the deck's use, from game to mysterious oracular device, Helen Farley examines tarot's emergence in 15th century Milan and discusses its later associations with astrology, kabbalah and the Age of Aquarius.
