This is the latest deck by Ciro Marchetti, the artist behind the Gilded Tarot and the Tarot of Dreams. Both of which were voted by visitors and members of the influential Aeclectic.net web site, as the most popular tarot decks of the year on their release, and both in the top ten most popular decks of all time. The Legacy of the Divine Tarot is being published in two ver- sions. The first as a special edition, where each deck is assem- bled by hand and includes random variables of certain cards, which result in the final combination being unique, and each deck one of a kind. Each is personally signed and includes the options of a hard cover illustrated book and reading canvas. For more details and sample images visit: http://ww.ciromarchetti.com The second option will be a standard version to be published by Llewellyn later this year. Make sure to view the promotional video that provides a preview of the theme and story line behind this project. http://vimeo.com/1076456 Artist Bio/Background. Born in Italy raised in the UK, Ciro Marchetti now lives in Florida. In addition to his involvement in Tarot, his work as a digital artist has received numerous awards and has been featured in various publications. Many of his images have also been licensed and reproduced as posters, cross stitch and jig saw puzzles, among other items. Ciro Marchetti also provides periodic workshops and lectures on advanced dig- ital imagery at the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale. Tarosophist International Editor’s FOREWORD It is with great pleasure that I introduce this second issue of Tarosophist International.

  • Concentration a Guide to Mental Mastery by Mouni Sadhu
    Concentration Mouni Sadhu CONCENTRATION A GUIDE TO MENTAL MASTERY By MOUNI SADHU 1 Concentration Mouni Sadhu To my unforgettable Guru And his true disciples This book is dedicated 2 Concentration Mouni Sadhu PREFACE This book has been written to bridge the gap between the many existing theoretical works on mental concentration and meditation, and the general application of the mind’s powers to everyday life. The extensive literature on these subjects provides plenty of “commandments” as to what should and should not be done and when to develop control of the mind. But it is not easy to find the most important and essential advice which concerns the practical answers to the unavoidable questions “How?” and “Why?” More than half a century ago a gifted and experienced American—William Walker Atkinson, writing under the pen name of Yogi Ramacharaka, published a series of very useful books on Eastern philosophy and Yoga, which were wisely and purposefully based on his “Eclectic Method.” His main works are Hatha Yoga, Raja Yoga, Gnani Yoga, Fourteen Lessons in Yogi Philosophy and Oriental Occultism, and his final message under the title of Philosophies and Religions of India. These are perhaps the best of their kind and are unique, filled with practical advice. He selected the best material he could find from the various known scriptures of his day, without any Corresponding effort on the part of other contemporary occultists. In the second half of this century, great advances have al ready been made in psychology in general as well as in occult psychology, and today we know far more about the human mind and its workings than did our forefathers.
