Cheetahs of De Wildt

Experience the life of Ann Van Dyk and her cheetahs........1997-09-18

When I finished reading this book, I felt like I'd actually lived through part of the life of Ann Van Dyk. She describes in wonderful detail the incredible joys and the terrible losses that she experienced during the early years of the DeWildt Cheetah Research Centre.

As a partial accounting of her work, Ann talks about the 'discovery' of the king cheetah, the breeding requirements of cheetahs in captivity, and the heavy toll that people extract from cheetahs, both in the wild and in captivity.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in cheetahs. The story is true, but this is no dry documentary. This story will make you feel.

Book Description

Following on the runaway success of This is New York, Universe is thrilled to reissue two more titles from M. Sasek's beloved children's travel series: This is London and This is Paris.
Like This is New York and This is San Francisco, This is London and This is Paris are facsimile editions of Sasek's original titles.

This is Paris, first published in 1959, brings Paris, one of the most exciting cities in the world, to life. There are famous buildings, beautiful gardens, cafés, and the Parisians-artists, concierges, flower girls, and even thousands of cats. Take a tour along the banks of the Seine, through the galleries of the Louvre, and to the top of the Eiffel Tower.

Brilliant, lovely children's book - a classic.......2004-06-12

This book, and the entire series of books by Miroslav Sasek, are just wonderful. The story introduces children (ideally from ages of about 3 - 7) to the magic of Paris. The book evokes a sense of wonder, while relaying facts about Paris that children will find very captivating. We see things like Notre Dame, a ticket to ride the Metro, and a gendarme. The illustrations are just lovely, done in a style that helps provide a leaping off point for imagining even more about the story. A marvel of brilliance masquerading as simplicity! The book has been in print for nearly 50 years, and deserves it place along with other children's classics of the city like "Make Way for Ducklings."

I wish they made books like this still.......2004-05-03

A beautiful reprint of this classic. M. Sasek is one of my favorite childrens book illustrators. This book takes you back to Paris in 1959. The drawings are really stylish.
This book is a real treat. Check out the London, New York and San Fransisco books as well.

Book Description

Beginning in New York in 1944, James Campbell finds the leading members of what was to become the Beat Generation in the shadows of madness and criminality. Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and William Burroughs had each seen the insides of a mental hospital and a prison by the age of thirty. A few months after they met, another member of their circle committed a murder that involved Kerouac and Burroughs as material witnesses.
This book charts the transformation of these experiences into literature, and a literary movement that spread across the globe. From "The First Cut-Up"--the murder in New York in 1944--we end up in Paris in 1960 with William Burroughs at the Beat Hotel, experimenting with the technique that made him notorious, what Campbell calls "The Final Cut-Up."
In between, we move to San Francisco, where Ginsberg gave the first public reading of Howl. We discover Burroughs in Mexico City and Tangiers; the French background to the Beats; the Buddhist influence on Kerouac, Gary Snyder, and others; the "Muses" Herbert Huncke and Neal Cassady; the tortuous history of On the Road; and the black ancestry of the white hipster.

Defaming One of the Most Influential Literary Movements.......2007-05-15

[...]. But then I also suggest getting a subscription to the National Enquirer, for the same rhetoric to be found in that rag is to be found in this book's overtly slanted viewpoint. Every luminary in this significant literary and cultural movement is depicted as psychotic, criminal, racist, and sexually confused. Nothing positive about the Beat Generation is mentioned. Granted, the Beats had their personal faults, but who doesn't? Campbell does a great disservice to his readers by not presenting a balanced perspective of the Beats and the influence they have had around the world. If you're looking for fair, introspective commentary on the Beat Generation...look elsewhere.

Simply brilliant.......2002-11-08

I started reading this book with little prior knowledge of the beat movement and authors. I also didn't expect much from the book, thinking that it would probably be a rather academic piece of writing. And what a pleasant surprise it turned out to be! The book was so gripping that I finished it in a few days, reading long passages at a time. It covers the rise to prominence of the dramatis personae of the beat movement (focusing on Kerouac, Ginsberg and Burroughs), giving enough information on their backgrounds to facilitate an understanding of how this influenced them and their writing, but does not dwell on unnecessary minutiae in the process. All the information is presented in a concise and remarkably readable manner. The author points out the foibles of the beats, but is not too judgemental, leaving it to the reader to come to his own conclusions.

Product Description

The perfect supplement to traditional guidebooks, Party London and Paris' pages are packed with reviews of fun and social, day and night activities. The unique manner in which it is written enables young travelers to customize reviews to match their own definition of fun in order to maximize every moment of their time abroad.

Witches Deck.......2007-03-19

Its a nice deck but not for beginners. You need to keep looking through the book to read the cards unless you have alot of time to spend memorizing them all.

Not just the "007" tarot.......2004-03-30

These tarot cards should really be known as the Fergus Hall deck.

Many people are familiar with this deck due to its use in the James Bond movie, "Live and Let Die". But it is far more than that.

Abandoning all efforts to reproduce the Rider Waite Tarot, Hall has created a deck with some of the most surreal, yet highly mystical art ever seen on Tarot cards.

Those who are familiar with Tarot cards know that many different interpretations of cards are possible by seeing the imagery on the cards. Hall's imagery isn't for everyone, but I believe the art really draws you into readings in a whole new way.

I have also found this deck invaluable for dream interpretation.

The minor arcana return to the old "pip" system.

One of my higher recommendations if you are already doing readings for others.

Great Deck.......2002-11-24

I've read some reviews on this deck that say it is childish and simple. I think this deck is absolutely wonderful. You have to use your own imagination and find your own meanings to the symbolism...which in my opinion is what tarot cards are all about. For those of you who want a deck that lays out plainly what the cards mean, then this is not for you. If you have a good imagination and enjoy the type of artistry used in this deck you wont be disapointed.

Freaky and whimsical!.......2002-06-21

This delightful deck has unfortunately been misnamed and mismarketed throughout its existence. It has nothing to do with James Bond or witches but has everything to do with Fergus Hall, the idiosyncratic artist who painted the deck. It should be called simply the Fergus Hall Tarot. Hall got his start doing carnival paintings and that freaky bizarro style shows in this deck. Unlike most 20th century decks, Hall's deck is free of occult or pagan mumbo jumbo and yet is rich in subtle symbolism, such as the mysterious black birds and orange cats that appear on various cards, and the mandala type designs in the center of the pip cards. The books held by the hanged man and hermit contain original poems (can't read them? See Stuart Kaplan's companion book). The art is very expertly done and yet is so whimsical and unassuming it's easy to take for granted. The World card is one of the best I've ever seen, downright haunting. This is a very profound deck but at the same time doesn't take itself too seriously. The pip cards are a welcome return to tradition, using the original suits of cups, swords, batons, and coins rather than the recently introduced "wands" and "pentacles" which many mistakenly consider authentic. Also, as in traditional decks, the pips are unillustrated save for Hall's central mandalas. In my opinion, unillustrated pips leave more room for the readers own imagination and insight.
A perfect blend of tradition and creativity. You might find this deck puzzling at first, but stick with it. There's an entire little world in every card!

Live and Let Die.......2001-03-03

Fans of the 007 film Live and Let Die, will recognize these cards, as they were created for that film. The cards themselves have very little imagery to draw conclusions from, but some people I know find them very powerful. But overall, this deck has little to do with "witches" in fact it was first marketing under the name "James Bond 007 Tarot Deck" and was part of the "James Bond 007 Tarot Game". I suspect after the movie became dated, the company repackaged this as a tool of the coven.

Great tarot deck.......2007-09-27

Witches Tarot Card Deck

These tarot cards are my favorite deck i have!

I have a few decks but i most love this one.

The images on the cards are great and intense

I highly recomend them.

Worst deck I own.......2007-05-16

I was very excited when I found this deck.. The few card images displayed were quite beautiful. However, when I received it and started flipping through the cards I ended up very, very disappointed. First and mostly, I cannot figure out what the muscle men are all about. Ugly and distracting, not at all fitting.. don't get it! The courts, all the same exact picture/image, only difference in any suit is the color of the outfit the person is wearing. I misunderstood and thought the people were the same through out, NOT the actual scene. How boring and unimaginative! Also, mine have the black borders which I think take away from the artwork. Over all, the worst deck I own.. don't think I will ever use it. Thought about re-selling but would be ashamed of myself. If I could give this a minus or at least a zero I would.

Perfect for any level.......2007-02-20

Beautiful deck for all levels, designed for intuitive readings. Have tried many decks and I am always drawn back to this one and the Gilded Tarot.

Witches Tarot Card Deck review.......2006-03-11

I purchased this tarot deck and love it! The artwork is fantastic, and it speaks to me on a inner level. I definately would reccomend this deck to anyone interested in tarot cards. The seller shipped quickly and I reccomend them as well!!!!

Good, but highly specialized, not recommended for 'general' readings........2005-12-01

I've heard about this deck for years, and finally picked it up in a store. I'd heard it was strongly connected with the Qabalah, which I knew almost nothing of--and so hit my first stumbling block with using this deck.

If a reader does *not* have at least an elementary grasp of what the Qabalah is and its very basic symbolism, most of the imagery of these cards will be difficult to interpret. Many, many of the cards feature a large, solid-color half-circle image that takes up a lot of room on the card, a baffling image (I know one person who thought it was a printing error) unless one knows these half-and-quarter circles are supposed to represent specific sephiroth on the Tree of Life (according to color, etc.) Without this knowledge, there is an entire level of meaning that is inaccessible to the reader (and thus, the querent).

I have no quibble with "switching out" certain cards, like The Devil, for more "Pagan-friendly" images, or moving away from the "One True Interpretation" as set out by the Rider-Waite and Waite-derived decks. Anyone who's done readings for others knows the frustration and disruption that result when one has to calm a client when The Devil or Death or similar "spooky" cards appear. The problem isn't entirely removed by using this deck, but as The Devil is one of the big trigger cards for such a reaction, I'm not sorry to see it reworked to fit into this particular paradigm.

Though I have been reading cards for well over a decade now, I always thumb through the book/booklet included--one can often learn interesting Tarot minutae or new spreads or philosophies about the cards, often specifically related to a particular deck. It never hurts to know the designer's intentions/focus for a deck, and can prevent that nasty disconnected feeling when symbols differ from expected. So I knew before I laid out the first spread that the court cards, unlike traditional Tarot, were never meant to be read individually with this deck. They're more like "lens" cards, focusing energy in a particular way towards the secondary card that should be laid out next to it.

While I enjoy vibrant, somewhat fey-seeming art with my cards (such as the Sacred Rose deck or the Faerie Wicca Tarot), the art here is more like Llewellyn bookcover art--not a *bad* thing, but it may be a turn-off to those who object to "Barbie Witch" images. The cards are a good size, easy to handle. The image on the back of the card could've been better chosen, as it's then far too easy to tell if a card is reversed. (But then, I lay out all my cards face up when doing most spreads, so this is less of a factor for me, and this is hardly the only deck with this problem.)

The Minor Arcana are not labeled clearly, so it can be easy to mistake one suit for another. My major complaint with this deck is that one really *does* need the full-size book(s) to work well with the design of this deck--and that particular book is not sold seperately any longer, which is a major aggravation for those who bought just the deck. Ideally, one should have *both* of Reed's books, "The Witch's Tarot" and "The Witch's Qabalah" to get a grip on the Qabalah symbolism *as used in this deck*. (I know there are those who feel the connection to Qabalah borders on inaccurate.)

*That* is what annoys me: after paying for the deck (or kit, if you're a smarter shopper than me) then having to go out and buy additional books that apply *only* to one deck and require some considerable study. TWQ is *not* a quick afternoon read. Spending that much money is a considerable investment, and not knowing that in advance can come as a rude shock--and smack overmuch of a cheap commercial gimmick. Ideally, something packaged as a "kit" should have *all* the basic materials--or the product should be able to stand alone, without recourse to supplemental materials.

This is not a pick-up-and-go deck. It requires study, of new material not usually connected with Tarot. (And by 'study,' I mean *study*, as in the equivalent of a full continuing ed. class) I consider this an advanced deck, and highly specialized.

With all these caveats, I'd have to say this deck works best as a personal deck (I use mine for contemplation and guidance along my personal spiritual path) and readings for those you might regularly share ritual with. In that area, this deck is wonderful, and I reserve this deck for that purpose alone (which, in my experience only improves the accuracy). For general readings, I'd recommend another, more generalized deck, such as the Universal Waite, Tarot of the Old Path, or similar decks.

A Unique Tarot...Surreal But Not Unlovely.......2002-09-29

Let's deal with this deck's ridiculous title first and get that out of the way. There is no reason to have called it The Tarot of the Witches because it has no more to do specifically with witches than the average Tarot deck that uses Judeo-Christian symbolism. That would be similar to the idea of calling it the Tarot of the Gypsies or the Romany because there is a stereotype that these people use Tarot so it makes the deck sound all the more mysterious. The deck was originally called the James Bond 007 Tarot because Stuart Kaplan cut a deal with the artist Fergus Hall and obtained the rights for worldwide distribution and for using it in a James Bond film. The guide book that comes with the deck does not comment on how the name changed to The Tarot of the Witches. Suffice it to say, it is a meaningless title and move forward.
My chief complaint about this deck is that the pip cards are not individually illustrated but are of the type where the suit's symbol is repeated the corresponding number of times to indicate the number of the card. There is a characteristic symbol for each suit. The meanings attributed to the suits are somewhat different from the classic and perhaps more familiar ones. Cups are said to represent happiness, gaiety, and joy as well as passion and religion. Coins are said to represent opportunity, money, material gain, and deep sensitivity and involvment. Batons are said to represent the laborer and worker, modest and humble people, progress, animation, etc. while Swords are said to represent courage, boldness, force, strength, agression and ambition. It is my feeling that since the meanings of the suits are spelled out so specifically by this deck's creator the pip cards need further illustration or how are we to decide, for example, if the Two of Swords, in this deck, means agression and ambition or if perhaps the Five of Swords is more likely to mean that, or neither or both. How are we to delineate the meanings? I see confusion of symbolism between this deck's Coins and Batons and the Pentacles and Wands of decks that I use more frequently. While the traditonal Cups certainly deal with the realm of the emotions, that is not to say that they are all about happiness and gaiety. Illustrations would be a great aid in understanding these cards if the artist and author wishes to adapt the traditional symbolism to such a degree. Of course, we are always able to adapt our own knowledge and intuition to fit the cards, but if one is trying to be true to the artist's purpose it would certainly help if the artist were less obtuse.
Last, on the subject of the appearance of the Major Arcana and the Court cards. Beauty is, as they say, in the eye of the beholder. Many people find these cards ugly. I find that description ridiculously simplistic. The style of art is a modified Surrealism and I find all of the cards interesting and many of them to be beautiful. The book that accompanies this deck is a rare one for its type in that it contains the artist's own painstaking description of each card and his personal symbolic intent for each aspect of a given card. The colors are vivid, the artistry is abundant and the symbolism is thought-provoking. At first glance they may appear simple but if you take time with this deck and read the artist's intended meanings almost as though you are dialoguing with the artist they will reveal to you some profound insights. Please do not dismiss them because they are unfamiliar. This is decidely Fergus Hall's Tarot, not yours, not Waite's, not Crowley's, not Robin Wood's. So have the courtesy to learn the rules of that universe if you presume to enter it. Hall has thoroughly enjoyed himself in creating these cards and has hidden his love of poetry in some of the cards. For example in the Hermit card, the man is holding a small book with the words to one of Hall's poems, so small that they are illegible to the naked eye. The pages read, "Never Try To Ta-Too A Butterfly. Its Lines Are Far Too Fine And Hard To Find. Never Try To Bake An Angels Birthday Cake. When You've Opened It They've Gone Leaving Their Song." Absurd? Yes, Indeed! This deck is a lot of fun, in my opinion, but one definitely needs to take time with it and one must be willing to make the aquaintance of Mr. Hall and allow him to tour you through the Fun House. Any Tarot deck is only as good as your ability to work with its symbols. I hope that you will not overlook this unusual deck simply because it takes you to unfamiliar territory.

What a Lousy Deck.......2002-07-30

The artwork in this deck is simplistic and childish, which isn't always a bad thing, and certainly makes for an unusual-looking deck. The minor arcana are not illustrated, which some people prefer, and some detest. However, I objected to the fact that it is titled "The 'Witches' Tarot." As a Witch, I can say that a great deal of the symbolism is just plain wrong. The Tarot was originally derived from medieval Christian mysticism, which is why decks geared toward modern pagans substitute certain traditional elements with more appropriate themes. As an example, 'The Devil' would not appear in many 'real' Witches decks. Most of us do not believe in the devil, and a substitution of a pagan god such as Osiris or the Celtic Antlered God would be prefered. Poorly done and misleadingly titled.

Tarot of the Witches.......2000-12-21

Art work isn't everything when reading a deck. This deck is very receptive and will surprise you. It also makes you rely more on your own skills than the depiction of the artist.

The ugliest deck I've ever seen........2000-10-29

This deck has the worst art I have ever seen in a tarot deck.

The minor arcana is repretitive - each of the numbered cards simply has the appropriate number of suit items, copied by computer, which is as boring and uninspiring as possible.

The major arcana are the simplest I've seen, with tasteless art - the people are pictured unproportionaly, and are too similar to one another (e.g. the hair).

Some people criticize the art of the Rider-Waite-Smith deck as being plain, but this deck is just ugly, uninspiring, and I'm not surprised I havent seen or heard of anybody using this deck to read for himself or anybody else.

James Bond and the Ugliest Tarot Deck Ever.......2000-06-27

Okay, that might be an exageration. I haven't seen every single tarot deck in existence. But still -- yeesh.

I got this set free from a friend who just didn't want it anymore. I accepted it because I remember watching a James Bond movie where Jane Seymour use it to tell his future. Legend has it that the deck was made for the movie, and that the hugely deformed people and garish colors were for the benefit of the cameras.

The Minor Arcana are ... sad, really. Each element has its own color, but there are just the proper number of wands/coins/swords/cups on each card, no illustration suggesting the meaning behind the number-element combination. The Major Arcana are a little better, but not by much -- a lot of meaning is lost and if you don't have a fetish for raven-haired, tattooed people, it's pretty pointless.

Book Description

From the author of the popular Witch's Brew books, the spells in this deck lend extra serendipity to spell-casting. Pull a card, perform a simple spell, and who knows that the day will bring.
