Trung nguyen's tarot deck5/12/2023 And it’s pretty hard to argue against that, isn’t it?īut beginning to read tarot cards-even if just for yourself-isn’t as simple as going to the store, buying a deck, and pulling a spread. More concerned with introspection than prediction, tarot simply invites us to explore our inner selves, to consider new angles on old problems, to conceptualize our concerns in fresh ways. But tarot, as a practice, almost demands respect. Likewise, I’ve always found astrology memes to be much more engaging than actual horoscopes. My connection to this realm is largely stylistic I’m skeptical of rocks with powers, but I’d be lying if I said they didn’t look good scattered along the rim of my bathtub. Tarot decks have commanded our attention. Over the last few years, we’ve experienced an aesthetic-and perhaps even spiritual-shift toward embracing New Age-y wears. Crystals have pervaded our physical spaces. If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, STYLECASTER may receive an affiliate commission.

The Gods of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs5/12/2023 The book describes deceitful priests in a theocratic nation that appear to manipulate a temple idol with the intention of controlling their followers. This theme was introduced in A Princess of Mars, but is central to The Gods of Mars. The novel also features a number of incidents of religious deception, or the use of superstition by those in power to control and manipulate others. Burroughs' concept of race, as depicted in the series, is more like a division between species than between different ethnicities. Race is a major theme, as the novel takes place in a world with clear territorial divisions between the White, Yellow, Black, Red and Green skinned races. Burroughs’ use of complex prose and vocabulary are surprisingly sophisticated for pulp fiction. His imagination, colorful descriptions, and sense of adventure are a delight to read. The Gods of Mars showcases Burroughs’ talents as a writer. Published by planksip A Critic's Meta Review: 4/5 Review Published by planksip® Gods of war by Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-195).

She is skilled in the mimicry of everyday language. She excels in the short-story genre and her prose is controlled, sometimes dark and frequently wickedly humorous. She was memorably described by a critic as ‘a remarkable cross between Astrid Lindgren and Franz Kafka’, her stories for young people revealing a fascination with fantasy, fairytale and the gothic. Inger lives in Stockholm and is a fiction writer, graphic artist, cartoonist and stand-up comedian.
