Five introductory books for other systems

By Susan Gold
  1. Numerology: The Divine Triangle by Faith Javane and Dusty Bunker. This book developed my understanding of the symbolism of numbers in tarot.
  2. Astrology for Yourself: How to Understand and Interpret Your Own Birth Chart by Douglas Bloch & Demetra George. This book reminds me of Mary Greer’s Tarot for Yourself. It is in workbook format and guides you through self-reflection.
  3. The Chicken Qabalah of Rabbi Lamed Ben Clifford by Lon Milo Duquette. This must be the most entertaining book on Qabalah/Kabala, and it is an accessible introduction to this esoteric field of study.
  4. The Hand Book: An Introduction to Palmistry by Elizabeth Brenner. This one is out of print but can be found.
  5. The Rune Cards: Ancient Wisdom for the New Millennium by Ralph Blum. This is a classic set, though somewhat controversial. See Wikipedia entry. Blum’s rune cards can be used with Elder Futhark rune stones. Being a tarot/visual type, I find the cards much easier to work with.
