Many religions have long and storied literary traditions, but for both quantity and quality, it would be hard to beat the Pagan traditions of Europe and the Middle East (which overlapped in antiquity, and continue to do so today). This may seem counterintuitive, since Pagans, famously not adherents of any given religious book, have always laid more emphasis on personal interactions with the Divine than prescribed religious texts. But it's probably this rather freewheeling aspect that has given Pagan literature its extraordinary richness and variety; while Pagans' free speech has not always been absolute (think Socrates), there's never been any Pagan equivalent of theIndex Liborum ...

In most ways, the Summer Solstice of June 2009 is likely to work and play out in the Northern Hemisphere much as it has for thousands of years now. Ever since we lived in prehistoric matriarchies in the Age of Cancer (c. 8,790 – 6,630 BCE), we have intuited that this major hinge point in Earth's annual cycle is connected with the sacred feminine, the element of water, and the Moon.

We used to live in closely-knit communities or tribes where people had common interests and needs, and have now distanced ourselves so that we often don’t know more than a few neighbors. But it seems that in some ways, people still have a need for that tribal experience. All over the world, people are moving toward ...

When people ask about tarot combinations, the questions usually fall into one of two categories. The first is how to join the cards together in a reading to interpret the story they're revealing. The second often refers to the blended meaning of particular cards appearing together in a spread. One of the common misconceptions is that each card combined with another must have a universal and set meaning, like a fixed list that needs to be learned. As with most things tarot, there can be a good deal of flexibility within the interpretation, just as in language there can be more than one way to convey something. Just to slightly confuse matters, most professional or seasoned readers do tend ...
