New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
Who are the next generation of Tarot readers, and who will welcome and guide them? Go to a Tarot conference, or a large workshop, and you will see a range of ages, up to the 50s and 60s, but you'll rarely encounter people under 25. Look at the books about Tarot, from the beginners' level to "special topics" and advanced esoteric ideas, and it's clear that almost all of them, including the ones self-described as "for dummies" or "for idiots," expect their audiences to be grown up, out of college (certainly out of high school), with jobs or looking for work (maybe seeking their "true" work), often struggling with relationships, marriage, divorce, maybe following some alternative spiritual ...

While there is ample anecdotal evidence to confirm that people benefit from astrology, there are few, if any, studies to show how astrology works. Even today, there are only isolated cases in ...
Many books that give a general introduction to magick have a section on astral projection. They focus on its difficulty, how important it is, how it is a major part of magickal work, and so on. But after reading these books, I'm left with a feeling like the late Clara Peller (who played a senior citizen in a now-iconic commercial from the mid-1980s) when she found nothing of substance in her sandwich, shouting, "Where's the beef?" Similarly, some books, after discussing the value of astral projection (without saying why it's valuable), give instructions on such things as journeying to a friend's home to determine which page of a book they are reading or visiting a girlfriend or boyfriend ...
