The tarot cards are often seen as a mirror of what you are experiencing in your life. When a card comes up in a reading, it encourages you to look inside yourself to look for areas where this may resonate. Using Tarot for personal growth helps you to tap into your unconscious - the wise, intuitive part of you.
Tarot provides the space you need to dig deep and reflect on what's happening in the present moment, rather than getting lost in the past or future. Find Your Power: Tarot will show you how to harness your inner power, help you see where your true potential lies and most importantly, it will show you that it is always possible to make a change and create a life you love. Use this book to articulate and uncover those hidden abilities by giving you a new perspective of yourself.
It can also help you direct your energy towards your goals, or even to give them more clarity.

In 1960, childhood friends Keith Richards and Mick Jagger reconnected by chance on a train. More than 45 years later, the Rolling Stones remain superstars in the fickle world of rock 'n' roll. This collection of photographs provides a unique record of the band before they became the icons of rock. Most of these images have never been published before, making this book a must-have for the Stones' legion of fans.
In the band's fledgling days, photographer Bent Rej enjoyed unique access to the group, entering their circle of trusted friends. He was invited on the Stones' first full European outing, the Satisfaction tour. These extraordinary photographs reveal a pivotal time in the history of rock. While reveling in the first fruits of popular success, the Stones were nevertheless unaware of what the future would hold. Only hindsight tells us that at this point they were perched on the edge of the heights (or abyss) of superstardom.
Surprising, charismatic, scandalous, intense and reckless, here are the early Stones as never seen before.
