Shadow Seer Tarot
Work with the “darchetypes” of your shadow self through the tarot• Uses alchemical reconciliation through opposition to illuminate the shadows in our lives for a more complete sense of self• Explores the dark side of the Major and Minor Arcana where the Fool becomes Hubris, the Magician becomes the Manipulator, and the Empress becomes the Cannibal Mother• Offers techniques and card spreads to investigate the “darchetypes” that lurk in our personal and collective unconsciousAs a tool for shadow work and divination, the Shadow Seer Tarot deck and guidebook give methods to see through the blind spots of ordinary tarot readings into the heart of what is often hidden. Using Hermetic principles, Maja D’Aoust defines oppositional energies as they relate to the cards of the tarot. With the alchemical method of reconciliation through opposition, she looks deeper into the familiar meanings of the Major and Minor Arcana to give readers insight into the shadow energies at work in their lives to reveal a path toward wholeness. By inverting the archetypes and revealing their shadow side, or “darchetypes,” Maja opens portals of understanding to the bad behaviors that we often attempt to conceal, repress, or deny. For example, shadow forms are represented in the suit of Cups by cards such as the Toxic Family, the Glutton, Addiction, and Betrayal. In the suit of Wands, the dark side of our drives and passions are exposed in cards like Propaganda, Slander, the False Martyr, and the Avoidant. Working with our secret shadows, rooted to the underworld and our ancestors, reveals deeper truths and a more balanced perception of the world.
Hunger and Thirst
FROM THE COSTA AWARD-WINNING, WOMEN’S PRIZE-SHORTLISTED AUTHOR OF UNSETTLED GROUND'An absolute masterpiece. Utterly absorbing, genuinely unsettling' JENNIE GODFREY, author of The List of Suspicious Things'Atmospheric, psychologically vivid, and unputdownable' ALICE WINN, author of In Memoriam1987: After a childhood trauma and years in and out of the care system, sixteen-year-old Ursula finds herself with a new job in the postroom of a local art school, a bed in a halfway house, and—delightfully— some new friends, including wild-child, Sue. When Ursula is invited to join a squat at The Underwood, a mysterious house whose owners met a terrible end, she can’t resist the promise of a readymade, hodgepodge family. But as Sue’s behaviour and demands become more extreme, Ursula who has always been hungry—for food—and more importantly for love, acceptance and belonging, carries out her friend’s terrible dare. It's a decision that will haunt her for decades. Thirty-six years later, Ursula is a renowned, reclusive sculptor living under a pseudonym in London when her identity is exposed by true-crime documentary-maker who is digging into an unsolved disappearance. But it is not only the filmmaker who has discovered Ursula’s whereabouts, and as her past catches up with her present, Ursula must work out whether the monsters are within her or without. From critically acclaimed and award-winning author, Claire Fuller, Hunger and Thirst is a compelling and chilling tale of loneliness and female friendship, of the dangerous line between wanting and needing, and of how far a person will go to truly belong. 'Unremittingly unsettling, propulsive and tense. Fuller excels at depicting outsiders, and writes with such precision and economy. Truly terrifying' Sarah Vaughan'Addictive, disturbing and suspenseful. It reminded me of Ruth Rendell/Barbara Vine at her most vivid. Ursula is a rare creation' Amanda Craig

Absent Minds
A bold new history of psychology that uncovers the lost legacies of the women who shaped our understanding of what it is to be humanIf asked to name a psychologist, who springs to mind? No doubt Freud, perhaps Pavlov and his dog, maybe Jung or Piaget. But what of Mary Whiton Calkins, who has still not received her doctorate from 1895 on account of her gender despite her research influencing contemporary psychology; or Mamie Phipps Clark, whose work informed the US court case that ruled racial segregation illegal; and Beatrice Edgell, the first British woman to earn a PhD in psychology, whose studies have determined how generations of children are taught. Crucial to our modern world, yet largely unrecognisable. That changes now. In Absent Minds, award-winning psychologist Dr Madeleine Pownall takes readers from the advent of the discipline through to psychologists' response to the COVID-19 pandemic and screentime debate. Entertaining and empowering, she uncovers lost legacies, documenting how women shaped the field and provided alternative, creative and more critical ways of thinking about the human experience, the benefits of which we still feel today. 'A scintillating tour of the human mind through the work of history's forgotten female psychologists. Illuminating, engrossing and beautifully written, I couldn't put this book down' - Victoria Bateman, author of Economica'Absent Minds is essential reading . . . With a clear and compelling voice, Dr Madeleine Pownall shows readers the crucial contributions to psychology made by women' - Elizabeth Norton, author of Women Who Ruled the World: 5000 Years of Female Monarchy

Celestial Realms
An investigation into ideas and experiences of Heaven across religious and cultural traditions throughout history• Comprehensively explores the meanings, history, ideas, and experience of Heaven throughout the world’s exoteric and esoteric traditions• Explores the heavens of Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece, the Abrahamic traditions, Far Eastern mythologies, and Indigenous nations• Considers questions about our “need” for Heaven, further informed by popular culture, folklore, and personal experienceAcross all ages people have wondered about the afterlife. Is Heaven a reward for good behavior, the home of the gods, or a state of being? As Tobias Churton reveals, such questions and beliefs about the nature of Heaven go back to humanity’s earliest days. Beginning with mythology in ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, and the Far East, we find sophisticated conceptions within early philosophy and the Abrahamic religions, many of which persist unchanged. Churton examines the complexities of Jesus’s teaching that “the Kingdom of God is within you” and Islamic ideas about paradise. He analyzes the beliefs of Eastern mystics and Maori, Australian Aboriginal, and Polynesian traditions as well as heavenly conceptions among Indigenous cultures of the Americas. He presents Renaissance-era understandings of Heaven’s connection to the body in the alchemical spiritual medicine of Paracelsus and the mysticism of Jacob Böhme and reveals that Emmanuel Swedenborg, followed by William Blake, controversially associated Heaven with sexuality. Churton then delves into the contemporary era, exploring Heaven from perspectives of spiritualism, psychedelic experience, communist materialism, and the arts, including John Lennon’s lyrical suggestion that we imagine that there is no heaven. Whether Heaven is considered a specific place or a deeply felt state of being, this in-depth investigation emphasizes its resonance and significance for all of humanity.
