THE ENCHANTED ASTROLOGER

The Enchanted Astrologer is a do-it-yourself book and card set that enables you to understand your astrological sign and your unique personality, make better decisions, and even predict your future—instantly. It is designed to intuitively personalize its astrology readings just for you, as if you were getting a professional consultation with renowned spiritual advisors Monte Farber and Amy Zerner, authors of The Enchanted Tarot, The Instant Tarot Reader, The Oracle of The Goddess, and many other works.

The Enchanted Astrologer takes a different approach to astrology, one that makes learning and using astrology fun, easy, and personal. Rather than requiring years to learn to apply the knowledge that comes from astrological study, The Enchanted Astrologer focuses on the three areas of most concern to most people, then within these contexts provides answers that can be obtained directly and applied immediately. Through Monte's easily followed text, combined with Amy's intriguingly symbolic fabric collage art, The Enchanted Astrologer guides you to an enhanced understanding of the situation in question, providing insightful and compassionate guidance in the process. The meanings of the Planets, Houses, and Signs of astrology can be readily absorbed as you use the book and cards to access the powerful, ancient wisdom of astrology to help you deal successfully with the challenges of everyday life.

Simply shuffle the cards while thinking about a question regarding Love/Relationships, Work/Career, or Wealth/Success. Then pick a card and look up its meaning in the indexed answer section of the book. The Enchanted Astrologer gives you a direct, in-depth answer to your question. The set includes a 200-page book and deck of 36 full-color cards symbolizing the Planets of Astrology, Houses of the Horoscope, and Signs of the Zodiac.

THE RUNES OF THE FOUR REALMS

Intuitive wisdom has a rhythm to it, moving from the simplicity of ignorance to the beginnings of understanding, expanding and interconnecting in ever more complicated relationships, until finally time and experience allow simplicity to emerge again. The answer is always dependent upon the understanding of the questioner, and the Runes of the Four Realms is no different, allowing each person to receive the answer they need at the time they require it.

The Runes of the Four Realms is a new look at an ancient body of wisdom, but one created with an appreciation for the perspectives of the new millenium. Suzanne Strisower presents a set of 27 runes that develop our connections with four realms, those of the Angels, the Great Spirit, the Devas, and of Co-creative Humanity, highlighting six aspects of each. Three additional runes represent a fifth principle, our ability to move between the other four realms and exercise will in our creations. The symbols used and the meanings assigned are meant to have both divinatory significance and evoke understandings for the areas of Personal and Spiritual Growth, Love and Relationship issues, and Career and Finances. These are covered in detail in the interpretation section of the book, as are directions for casting the runes and making your own set of personalized runes should you desire to do so. The Rune Cards included in the book can be cast similarly to the wooden runes, but have the advantage of light weight and compactness for carrying with you; also, the meanings are printed on the cards, so no reference to the book is required for interpretation.

Suzanne Strisower has been a professional psychic and Intuitive Counselor for the past twenty years. She is a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist with a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology, and has taught workshops nationally on a wide variety of spiritual topics in addition to doing private readings. Suzanne is listed in the Who's Who of American Women.
