What happens to a detective with more secrets than the killers he investigates?Lieutenant Simon Goldtree is the boy wonder of the Essex City Police Department in upstate New York. The man who gets all the really tough homicide cases, Simon can stand in the center if a case and simply feel the lies. The media love him and women seem fascinated by him.

From the beginning, however, Simon knows that this case is different. He knows this is the one that could destroy him. Slowly the two detectives close in on Stanstead’s killer. They discover mob ties only to see a cover up take shape right in front of them. Knowing that Frank has too much to lose, Simon prepares to take on Essex City’s gang boss, his own police department, and anyone else, to expose the lies until his own secrets explode in the local media. Publicly humiliated and forced to resign from the force, Simon decides at last to follow his heart and become the person he always wanted to be. But what about the Stanstead case? If a desire for truth pulls the ex cop back to Essex City, what will happen to his new life assuming the gang boss lets the former investigator live at all?

Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom

A top tarotist’s secrets to personal growth, one card at a time.

The two volumes of Seventy Eight Degrees of Wisdom have inspired a whole generation of tarot students. It has often been described by readers, booksellers, and teachers as the ‘Bible of tarot readers.’ It is also often cited as one of the landmark books in modern tarot, and it helped to launch the ‘Tarot Renaissance’ of the 1980s. The two texts one for The Major Arcana and one for The Minor Arcana appear together in this volume, which is a reissue of the 1998 edition first published by Thorsons.

Seventy Eight Degrees of Wisdom draws on mythology and esoteric traditions and delves deeply into the symbolism and ideas of each card. It also gives the cards a modern psychological slant based on the pictures rather than a system of occult symbolism. This endlessly useful reference tool provides a concise history of tarot, introduces common spreads, and is a clear and readable book for both the beginning and advanced tarot student.

The Shining Tribe Tarot

Human beings have practiced the art of divination for millenia. In some cultures, diviners studied patterns in nature the flight of birds, the forms of clouds, or the arrangement of the stars in the night sky. In others, they created elaborate divinatory systems such as the I Ching and the Tarot. Drawing from the legacy of 50,000 years of human encounters with the Divine, renowned Tarot scholar Rachel Pollack has created The Shining Tribe Tarot, a revised and expanded version of the popular Shining Woman Tarot. The Shining Tribe Tarot is steeped in symbolism drawn from culturally diverse systems including Neolithic rock art, Native American and African shamanism, Aboriginal art, the Kabbalah, Jungian psychology, and the traditional Tarot. The name Shining Tribe has a special meaning, says Ms. Pollack: ‘All of us who work with Tarot form a kind of tribe, one whose roots go back many thousands of years before the actual appearance of Tarot cards. This is the tribe of diviners, those special magicians, shamans, psychics, and visionaries who use cards, or sticks, or trees, or stones, or shells to communicate with the Gods.’ The accompanying book includes detailed descriptions of the origin and history of the symbols depicted on each card of this unique deck, as well as explanations of their meanings in divinatory spreads. In addition, you will also learn how to read the cards for a variety of purposes, including divination, advice, and guidance along your own personal sacred journey. Learn how to gain insights into the nightly messages from your subconscious mind with dream readings, and how to activate a card to bring its qualities into your everyday life. Rachel Pollack invites you to join the shining tribe of diviners and visionaries. As you continue along the sacred journey of self discovery, let The Shining Tribe Tarot cards shine a path for you.
