If menopause has come to call and you think life is over, think again! Life is only beginning, and it’s time for the gala event of the season. It’s so important, so fun-filled, and so exciting, that only an elite few make the guest list. This is the Crone’s party, and you’ve been invited. So don some attitude, grab some sass, and kick up your heels. Prepare for the time of your life. It’s guaranteed to be a real celebration.
If your doubts cast a shadow on the glorious possibilities, if you don’t feel like partying, or if you can’t think of one good reason to celebrate - then this is the book for you.
Meet your hostess and mentor, the Personal Crone. Mingle a bit and find your Spirit Self. Discover why the three of you belong together. Learn to balance yourself, gather wisdom, re-claim your life, and make the most of your natural beauty. Then meander into the Crone’s kitchen and look through her recipe book.

Explore your past and see why youth is only a dress rehearsal for the rest of your life. Try the Crone’s transition-easing meditations, affirmations, spells, rituals, and recipes, and gather wisdom along the way. Sail through hormonal-related symptoms with practical, tried-and-true advice. At the end of the voyage, you’ll find self-worth, personal value, fun, and fulfillment. Best of all, though, you’ll find the one thing you thought you’d never find again: a genuine reason to celebrate.

Childhood images. They are an important part of who we are as individuals, and we each have a collection. We dust them off once in a while and when the time is right, we take them out and play with them. Whether the mind conjures up Puss ‘N Boots or Sleeping Beauty, Rumplestiltskin or Cinderella, these images stay with us forever. Often the first introduction to heroism, to right and wrong, and to how the world is designed to work, we share their stories and their lessons with our children, giving them an infinite supply of symbols to draw upon for better living.
While this rich legacy is certainly of consequence, we also owe it to our children to provide them with a firm grasp of the Higher Self. They need to know that it’s a real part of them - the part that reveals who they are, where they’re going, and what they can accomplish. They need to know it holds answers that can ease their lives and bring about spiritual growth. It’s important they understand the wonders of that Self and learn how to access its gifts. Our children can’t do that, though, unless we provide them with the necessary tools. The Whimsical Tarot is such a tool.
Based on the childhood imagery of fairy tales, nursery rhymes and common storybook characters, The Whimsical Tarot provides a fresh approach to an old system. Unlike other Tarot systems, it combines the ancient art of story-telling with humankind’s fundamental goal - a connection to the Higher Power. Because the images used in this deck are familiar ones and easily retained, no memorization is necessary for efficient use of this tool. The Whimsical Tarot is also unique in that it encourages parent/child interaction, recommending reading time with the child to give them the full benefit of the system.
The accompanying book is divided into two sections, and although designed to be a parent’s guide to teaching children to read the Tarot, can easily double as a beginner’s guide. Part I simplifies card-reading methodology and eliminates the mysterious air that surrounds the Tarot, leaving nothing to intimidate or discourage the would-be reader. It includes tips for getting the most from the Tarot, suggestions for gaining and keeping the child’s interest, interactive exercises for increasing reading skills, and age categorized layouts. Part II discusses the roles of the Major and Minor Arcana, suit symbolism and rulership values. A discussion of individual cards follow, listing the character/s displayed, the name of the associated story, card description and advice.
The Whimsical Tarot is due to be released in late 1999 or early 2000. You can find it in your local bookstore or order it on the net from Amazon.com or U.S. Games Systems, Inc.
The winter holidays are coming - and if you’re like most folks - you’re starting to feel the joy of the season and the magic of anticipation that always accompanies them. But do you know how they originated? Who first celebrated them? Or that Christmas hadn’t even been thought of until just a few hundred years ago?
Do you know how Santa Clause came about? Why he comes down the chimney? Or why he flies through the air with eight tiny reindeer?
This book not only answers these questions, but takes you on a magical excursion through the holiday season. Journey through other countries and discover unique celebration traditions. Step into the kitchen and whip up a delectable holiday treat, then wander through the assortment of gift and decorating ideas to find the perfect solution to holiday woes. Afterward, meander through the daily event calendar, travel its magic, and form personal traditions - traditions to make this holiday yours alone.
Jam-packed with over sixty spells, invocations, and rituals, Yule: A Celebration of Light and Warmth guides you through the magic of the season. Traveling its realm will bring back the joy you felt as a child - the spirit of warmth and good will that lit the long winter nights - and the wondrous delights that only true magic can hold.
Yule: A Celebration of Light and Warmth is due to be released in the Fall of 2000. You can find it in your local bookstore or order it on the net from Amazon.com
