The Crystal Magic Tarot deck and guidebook expands the use of tarot beyond self-awareness and future predictions into the world of manifesting and intention-setting.

This tarot 78-card tarot deck isn't created to help explain your fate but to control it. Explore, clarify and take hold of your destiny and manifest what you want to happen in your life. The combination of tarot (intentions and insights) and crystals (energy and power) is potent -- and hitherto relatively unexplored.

Each card is beautifully illustrated and will be linked to a crystal which either amplifies or protects you from its energy. The good news is that readers don't need to have 78 crystals, as all crystal energies are broadly colour-coded, so as long as they have roughly 12 differently coloured crystals, you can still play along! And if you don't, the pack will explain how you can pick up 'wild stones' in all different colours, and how you charge them up like crystals.

This dynamic, potent deck will empower you to navigate the universe, take charge of your life and manifest your ideal future. What are you waiting for?

Ever feel as if you don't know which path to take, which decision to make, or what you really want in life? This beginner's guide to using tarot is specifically geared for personal guidance and self-development to help you understand your motivations, strengths, talents, and inner wisdom on your journey through life.

Whether you are looking for a simple yes or no answer or want a more in-depth analysis of where you are right now or what lies ahead, this tarot will guide you in your decision-making process.

The pack includes:

• 78 major and minor arcana cards 
• An accompanying 128-page book explaining the meanings and reversed meanings of each card
• Plus a section on different ways to lay them out in spreads

Rebel Heart Tarot is a vibrant and revealing mirror into your life. These powerful cards dare you to honour your spiritual path by choosing to explore the magnificence of

your personal unknown.

The 78 cards in this deck are a gateway to unveiling the magic that exists all around and within you every single day.  They are here to help you navigate the twists and

turns of life from a place of self-discovery and from within the grit and messiness of our lives.

For beginners and experienced seekers alike, the contemporary artworks use cleverly assembled collages, colour and imagery, weaving an evocative multi-layered story of discovery on every card.

“An essential book, which shows that women are taking an increasingly important place in the world of rum, that they can be very talented producers, but that there is still a lot to do in terms of gender equality.” —Rum Porter

Once known as a sailor’s drink, rum has matured into a refined spirit. In some Caribbean countries, rum is offered as a libation to the gods. In others, it is aged and savored on the rocks. But in the most magical places, rum is distilled by women. Inside Rum Rebels, you’ll find personal anecdotes from master blenders, fabulous recipes for artisan rum cocktails, and the inside scoop on the magic behind Appleton, Zacapa, Cachaça Maria Izabel, Brugal, and more.

The art of cocktails, rum, and women. A pirate staple, rum has been the drink of rebels since the Old World. Now, there’s a new generation of rebels—the business women curating the taste of today’s best rum companies.  Part rum cocktail book, part ode to feminism, Rum Rebels is a story of female empowerment in a traditionally male-dominated industry. Looking at more than a dozen rum distilleries, each chapter of Rum Rebels profiles women in leadership, their rum, and the perfect cocktail pairing.

Learn how rum is made. Alongside women leaders and pioneers, this worldwide master class explores everything from palates to aging, providing first-hand stories from today’s leading rum distilleries. Whether a beginner or a seasoned rum enthusiast, Rum Rebels is the perfect read for anyone curious about the craft of rum distilling, artisan cocktails, or female leaders in history.

Grab a copy to learn how:

• At Appleton, Joy Spence becomes the first female master blender
• At Zacapa, Lorena Vasquez adorns her bottles with hand crafted palm leaves by Guatemalan women
• And more

If you’re looking for rum cocktail books, women leadership books, women entrepreneur books, or women of color gifts—like the Smugglers Cove cocktail book, Women’s Libation cocktail book, And a Bottle of Rum book, or Drinking Like Ladies—you’ll love Rum Rebels.

A Fact-Based Introduction to Crystal Healing

Whether you’re new to the practice of crystal healing or have a level of experience with it, chances are you have questions: What works? What doesn’t? How and when should I spend my money? And so on. Forget the magic, the mysticism, and the mythology. You’ve come to the right place for answers. Dan R. Lynch is the author of many books about rocks and minerals. Julie A. Kirsch is a trained psychologist. Together, they delve into the fascinating study of crystal healing, and they share their answers with you.

The book begins with an explanation of what crystal healing is, as well as a simple introduction to the basics of geology/mineralogy. From there, the book takes a closer look at several of the most popular methods of crystal healing, such as wearing the crystals or using a healing crystal grid. That’s followed by an examination of the science and the psychology behind what the crystals are said to do versus what they have been proven to do. A “field guide” section spotlights some of the most important minerals to know, including amethyst and fluorite, presenting the most commonly used crystals by healing practitioners. The book is rounded out with safety warnings, recommended resources, and more. It’s everything you need to take an objective look at crystal healing and to make informed decisions about this controversial practice.
