Constellations: The Stars and Stories

The sky is a clear, glittering site where constellations (88 of them) form "provinces." It's not always easy to find the different groups, but this illustrated guidebook will lead you through the stars and make gazing at them a more meaningful experience. Begin with two larger maps that portray the entire northern and southern sky, and all the constellations in it. Another set charts the changes that take place in the heavens during the year: that's because the stars put on a different show for every season, and not every one is visible all the time. And, still more pictures present a close-up view of every single constellation, so you can see it in greater detail. (You'll see an image of the real or imaginary creature it's named after, too!) And, there's so much great information accompanying the super visuals: facts on how far away the stars really are, about other interstellar phenomena, on the history of every constellation and how they got their names, and the best way to do your star searching!

All in color! Following the ancient religion of our ancestors, who took nature as their teacher, shamans have the power to heal, to receive visions, and to transcend their personal identities and become our representatives in the spirit world. Who are these shamans? What do they believe? What do they do? Here are the answers to those questions, in the actual words of some of the most remarkable human beings you'll ever encounter, along with stunning color photos of the shamans at work, at home, and in traditional ceremonies. Coming from around the world--from North and South America, Europe, West Africa, Australia, and Tibet--the shamans discuss their training, how they go about their work, what "magic" powers they possess, the importance of the non-material world, and how to keep ourselves healthy in body, mind, and spirit. Each voice is unique, each message inspiring, and the implications of what they say can save lives. Trim size: 8 1/4 x 10 5/8.

Shamanic Wisdomkeepers: Shamanism in the Modern World

World

Have you ever wondered why a baby's first look at the world focuses on the hands? Or why an adult under stress often does the same? Perhaps our hands are a link to the world and its meaning for us. That's the basis for a renowned palmist's introduction to the art and science of palmistry--combining the intuitive reading of a person's soul with the empirical observation of physical aspects of a hand. In a clear, insightful, often humorous style comes an approach that anybody can learn regardless of psychic ability. A detailed map of the hand, fingers, thumb, tips, and prints opens a study of the mounts-palm areas that reveal links between planetary astrological signs and their palmistry counterparts. Methods of analyzing the lines of the hand cover both skin ridge patterns that stay the same for a lifetime and temporary marks that reveal current problems and opportunities.
