About this title:

Synopsis: How do divination systems work? Do they work? Can the interpretation of tarot cards, planetary alignments and numbers really help you achieve success and happiness? Many assume that such arts are just fortune telling, but according to the new book Divination: Sacred Tools for Reading the Mind of God, this is not the half of it. Author Paul O Brien explains how authentic divination systems can serve as a two-way communication with the divine faculty of intuition within us, whereby we can receive feedback that is meaningful and that helps us make the right moves at the right time. The book not only explains how divination systems work (according to the research of depth psychologist Carl Jung), it also details the history of the classical divination systems, the opposition of the church, the role that divination has played east and west including in the bible, and the online use of divination systems in modern times.

From the Inside Flap: In a frantic age of accelerating change, when too many decisions must be made too quickly, intuitive decision-making is a requirement for success and happiness. Divination: Sacred Tools for Reading the Mind of God is the first book to focus on classical divination systems -- Astrology, Numerology, the I Ching, Tarot and Runes -- and how they can be skillfully used to support better decisions, better relationships and less stress. “Read this book – Divination will help you gain valuable insight into the hidden realms. As you claim the power of the archetypes, you will enjoy a more meaningful life.” — Deepak Chopra, author of Life After Death: The Burden of Proof “An excellent overview of humanity’s best tools for self- discovery, this book will help people use astrology and divination more intelligently.” — Rick Levine, astrologer and author of Your Astrology Guide 2007 “Divination sheds valuable light on systems like astrology, Tarot and the I Ching that help you think outside the box, to view situations and relationships with more fl exibility, creativity and wisdom.” — John Gray, author of Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus “Divination is a stirring call for the use of ancient spiritual tools when logic alone can’t do the job. Paul O’Brien shows you skillful ways to approach systems like Tarot to gain wisdom when you need it most—to improve decision-making, relationships and to manifest your deepest desires. I highly recommend this fascinating, relevant and warmly engaging book.” — Mary Greer, author of Tarot for You and several other books on Tarot “It’s high time someone wrote a book on divination. The field is vast and rich, and there are few people more qualified than Paul O’Brien to tackle it.” — Ralph Blum, author of The Book of Runes: Handbook for an Ancient Oracle Paul O’Brien -- I Ching scholar, author and founder of Tarot.com -- clarifies the difference between authentic divination systems and scams like fortune-telling. O’Brien explains the psychology of how time-honored sets of sacred symbols, or “archetypes,” are interpreted to stimulate intuition, in order to think outside the box and resolve problems that logic can’t handle. Divination tells the history of divination systems, including violent persecution by dogmatic religions. Ironically, the book points out, there are more verses in the Bible wherein Yahweh approves divinatory practices than condemns them. Divination includes true stories of the modern use of divination by everyone from lovers to business executives. The book shows how you can stimulate wisdom and courage in order to manifest love, success and happiness -- using ancient sacred tools that were once the exclusive province of sages and kings, but which are now universally available.
