Origins And History Of The Tarot by Sandra Johnson. The origins of the Tarot are surrounded with myth and lore. It is hard to know for sure what the facts are. The Tarot has been thought to come from places like India, Egypt, China and Morocco. Others say the Tarot was brought to us from the Sufis or the Jewish Cabbalists. Still others contend that the origin of the tarot was from Moses. In the library of Alexandria, in Egypt, there were scrolls that were based on the Book of Thoth, an ancient book that came from Egypt’s mystery schools. One theory is that the illustrations on the Tarot cards are secret teachings of the Book of Thoth hidden in the innocent pictures.

It seems that wherever there was a secret ‘word of mouth’ tradition handed down from teacher to pupil, it was hailed as the origin or beginning of Tarot. A large group believed it was the Gypsies who brought the tarot to Europe, the word gypsy being a corrupted version of Egyptian. That is highly unlikely, since evidence points to gypsies not using Tarot until the 20th century. Before that, palmistry was their preferred method of fortune telling.

Love is in the Stars - Relationship Astrology part 1 - Elemental Astrology by Sadasiva (Sam Geppi). This is #1 in a series of relationship astrology articles.

Relationship astrology is nothing new, yet it is experiencing a renaissance these days as more and more people rediscover the ancient, holistic wisdom that astrology offers. Thousands of years ago, every culture used astrology. The human beings who lived on Earth at the time developed subtle and meaningful spiritual technologies; astrology was among them. Just as humans today develop technologies that bring about more convenience and entertainment, ancient cultures everywhere developed subtle and magical systems awakening. Astrology, as the science of universal energy and unfolding time, was chief among them.

Even the most cursory look at a basic Astrology book will show the importance of masculine and feminine energy in life. There are two female and two male elements in the astrology chart. Each element is repeated three times through different modalities. (Cardinal, Fixed, Mutable)

Petroleum, the Triple Threat to World Economies
Triple Threat
Petroleum, the Triple Threat to World Economies by Klaus H Hemsath. World economies are facing a triple threat. Oil reserves will be close to depletion by the year 2050. Damages from climate changes caused by escalating greenhouse gas emissions will become substantial. Rising transportation and food costs will slow economic growth rates. The results will lead to worldwide economic stagnation without hope for escape or reversal.

Future generations will have to pay dearly for the failure of previous national governments to eliminate carbon dioxide emissions and to change world energy supplies. Our dependence on fossil fuels must be terminated completely within the next three to four decades or the world will self-destruct.

Let's us look at the facts that lead to these frightening conclusions.

The Role of Fear in This Faltering Economy by Danna Schneider. Our economy is definitely going through some "tough times", as our President George Bush recently confirmed in a speech regarding the floundering economy of today.

A combination of factors have created a very volatile stock market, housing market, increasing inflation and cost of living, and a faltering job market, but one key component of a failing economy plays an intangible role in facilitating and perpetuating economic instability.

That component is human fear. We can't help it, we've evolved with fear as one of our main emotions, and the media and our surroundings have only helped it along by declaring "the sky if falling" with it's seemingly nonstop doomsday headlines.

Heck, you can't read your email without seeing the headlines on the side declaring that we are headed for worse times before they get better, costs are skyrocketing, foreclosures are at an all time high, gas prices are astronomical, and basically that everything is working against us right now.
