The rose is represented in all cultures, religions and folklore. The scent transports you instantly into worlds of love and beauty. The rose reminds me of an interview I listened to many years ago about a war torn country where the people were barely surviving. Every inch of their properties was used to grow food. The interviewer spotted a rosebush in full bloom and asked why would you grow roses, that take up precious space.The response was, "The soul also needs to be fed, it gives hope to one's life." I was taken aback by the answer. Even in the heart of conflict we still need a hint of beauty in our lives to survive hardship. My favorite quote is "Stop and Smell...

From these teachings the special Cossack-Sorcerers were created. I am a direct descendent of these Cossack-sorcerers. Many nights we sat near my mother and...
Some 30 years ago, I received a deck of the Mythic Tarot; they sang to me as I learned to read them. Some years later I gave them to a dear friend who was very natural and talented in divination, and bought another of the same deck for myself. More years went by, and that old deck came back to me, in the mail, with a note from my old friend: he had a dream in which the cards expressed their wish to return home. And upon their return, the deck that I had bought as their replacement disappeared (mind you, I searched high and low for them, and for the life of me I could not...
