Religious Figures

"Les Figures du Tarot". Roys, Reynes, Cavaliers et Valets sont les quatre Figures (ou Honneurs) du jeu de Tarot. Tous les autres jeux existants n'en comportent que deux ou trois. Si, à la table de jeu, les quatre Honneurs sont hiérarchisés comme une sorte de famille où le Valet serait le cadet, le Cavalier l'aîné, et le couple royal les parents, il en va tout autrement de leur interprétation dans le Tarot initiatique.

Muhammad's was a life of almost unparalleled historical importance, yet for all the iconic power of his name, the intensely dramatic story of the prophet of Islam is not well known. In The First Muslim, Lesley Hazleton brings him vibrantly to life. Drawing on early eyewitness sources and on history, politics, religion, and psychology, she renders him as a man in full, in all his complexity and vitality. Hazleton's account follows the arc of Muhammad's rise from powerlessness to power, from anonymity to renown.

In Reformation Women, Rebecca Vandoodewaard introduces listeners to 12 16th-century women who are not as well known today as contemporaries like Katie Luther and Lady Jane Grey. Providing an example to Christians today of strong service to Christ and his church, these influential, godly women were devoted to Reformation truth, in many cases provided support for their husbands, practiced hospitality, and stewarded their intellectual abilities.

L'interesse di P. D. Ouspensky per i tarocchi risale ai primissimi anni del Novecento, e precede l'incontro con Gurdjieff. Affascinato dalla misteriosa struttura delle carte, nel 1913 pubblica questo breve saggio in cui racconta, con stile poetico e immaginativo, la macchina filosofica rappresentata dai 22 arcani maggiori. Nell'interpretazione del filosofo russo, i tarocchi sono un vero e proprio "libro" di simbolismo ermetico che permette di accedere a un mondo più ampio e profondo.
