To explore the Tarot is to explore ourselves, to be reminded of the universality of our longing for meaning, for purpose and for a connection to the divine. This 600-year-old tradition reflects not only a history of seekers, but our journey of artistic expression and the ways we communicate our collective human story. For many in the West, Tarot exists in the shadow place of our cultural consciousness, a metaphysical tradition assigned to the dusty glass cabinets of the arcane.Its history, long and obscure, has been passed down through secret writing, oral tradition, and the scholarly tomes of philosophers and sages. Hundreds of years and hundreds of creative hands-mystics and artists often working in collaboration-have transformed what was essentially a parlor game into a source of divination and system of self-exploration, as each new generation has sought to evolve the form and reinterpret the medium. Author Jessica Hundley traces this fascinating history in Tarot, the debut volume in TASCHEN's Library of Esoterica series.
The book explores the symbolic meaning behind more than 500 cards and works of original art, two thirds of which have never been published outside of the decks themselves. It's the first ever visual compendium of its kind, spanning from Medieval to modern, and artfully arranged according to the sequencing of the 78 cards of the Major and Minor Arcana. It explores the powerful influence of Tarot as muse to artists like Salvador Dali and Niki de Saint Phalle and includes the decks of nearly 100 diverse contemporary artists from around the world, all of whom have embraced the medium for its capacity to push cultural identity forward.
Rounding out the volume are excerpts from thinkers such as Eliphas Levi, Carl Jung, and Joseph Campbell; a foreword by artist Penny Slinger; a guide to reading the cards by Johannes Fiebig; and an essay on oracle decks by Marcella Kroll. About the seriesThe Library of Esoterica explores how centuries of artists have given form to mysticism, translating the arcane and the obscure into enduring, visionary works of art. Each subject is showcased through both modern and archival imagery culled from private collectors, libraries, and museums around the globe.
The result forms an inclusive visual history, a study of our primal pull to dream and nightmare, and the creative ways we strive to connect to the divine.

Clarify Submission
Format: Kindle
The only thing I wish Elisabeth had covered is the concept of submission must be “as unto the Lord”which means not for the woman to submit to sin but to submit to her husband as she would Christ. Wives can submit as long as the husband is obedient to Christ in not compelling a woman to do something outside of the will of God. If the man is in submission to Christ then so is the wife. That is why it is so important for the woman to pray for her husband at all times.

Amazing book about marriage
Format: Kindle
Excellent read and one every woman should read, especially if she is engaged, newly married, or her daughter is. It contains lots of marriage wisdom and encouragement from a Christian perspective that is missing in today's culture.

A Wonderful Breakdown
Format: Mass Market Paperback
I would like to mention that this is a great book, written by a greatly honored woman. Actually, my most honored author that will, more than likely, ever exist. I think it is alright for men to read this book, to better understand a small part of God's design of their wives or future wives, WHOM, also desires God's design for man and woman. If she does not, things can go bad, for the simple reason of wanting God's design. Also, to know their daughters. On a side note: there are three books (two my Elisabeth) that I think are great on the topic of God's design for the genders that should be read, but not leaned on. God should be the One we put our validation in, not a person or book. Personally, I think that this book should be read only with God, so He can hear all questions and smooth out what is not agreed with, and so it does not create any issues or expectations, and reading it should not be "known" by the spouse for the simple reason that I think it is important that spouses and future ones do not think the other is just listening to a book. Anyways, this is one amazing book pointing to God's design of woman.

Perfect engagement gift or for any woman
Format: Mass Market Paperback
This book is in my top five for women. A quick read, but so profound. This edition has very small print, my one caveat is for it to be printed in a hardback with a larger font so women over 40 can enjoy it without reading glasses. Still, absolutely amazing and such a timely word for today's confused culture.

Beautiful, well-written advent companion book!
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
I have been wanting to purchase this book as a companion to our yearly advent time, and am so glad I took the plunge this year. The beautiful stories, illustrations, delicious recipes and fun activities will be such a delightful enhancement to our readings this year, and I am hoping we can start a bit early so we have time to really savor the beauty of advent in what always turns out to be a busy season. Truly a gorgeous book that was put together with great thoughtfulness, love, and a heart for the true focus of Christmas.
