    "The soul never thinks without an image," claimed Aristotle. Indeed, as Angeles Arrien displays in this reissued edition of Signs of Life, shapes have significant psychological and mythological meanings embedded in our minds. Understanding the messages they convey and our attraction to them opens up a door to the secret workings of our inner selves and to a fuller appreciation of the art itself. As in her widely popular The Tarot Handbook, Arrien applies her background as a cultural anthropologist to the import human beings attribute to shapes. Examining her results, she has developed an effective tool to determine the connection between a person's preferences for certain shapes and the same person's inner, subjective states. In the course of using Arrien's book, individuals, parents, teachers, and therapists will experience the universal processes of growth embodied in images and myths.

Life, we discover, is art, and through Arrien's fascinating journey in Signs of Life, we gain a new perception of the omnipresent patterns and symbols that surround us.

    Gathering Medicine Angeles Arrien What lessons can the modern seeker of truth gain from the shamans’ way? Join this respected anthropologist and folklorist as she bridges the past with the present to find powerful methods for gaining clarity and direction in your life – methods based on the shamanic tradition.

Thus you travel the "fourfold path" of the ancients to find your personal truth – the way back home. With many stories, spiritual teachings, and ideas for using shamanic principles in your own life.

    The word ecology comes from the Greek word oikos, which means, 'house.' In the 21st century, it is the essential task of human beings to attend to and care for not only our outer house, the Earth, but also the inner house of our selves, the limitless wilderness within. Cultivating and attending equally to both houses, our internal and external homes, is metaphorically referred to as 'walking the mystical path with practical feet.' The Mystical Path,Practical Feet 2009 wall calendar features quotes from Angeles Arrien's books combined with Jane English's photographs of nature and symbols that mediate between the inner and the outer worlds.

    A self-help book based on the stories of the nine Muses from Greek mythology, by a renowned teacher and anthropologist.

The author of the classic The Tarot Handbook, which has sold more than 200,000 copies, Angeles Arrien now provides a magical and practical guide, using as a creative road map the myths of the most famous literary songstresses and sources of creative inspiration--the nine daughters of Zeus.

In The Nine Muses, Arrien illustrates how we can inspire ourselves and see clearly the muses that abound in our own lives. She follows the stories of the Muses from Olympus, Mount Helicon, and the springs of Hippocrene that flowed from the spot struck by the hooves of Pegasus, explaining how to awaken and cultivate our gifts and talents. Like Apollo, who led the chorus of the Muses, Arrien directs readers in developing the qualities we crave to develop more fully: Instinct, Wisdom, Imagination, Life Force, and Intuitive Understanding.

Full of illustrations from Greek art, mythical stories, and assignments and exercises designed to help readers in creative endeavors--whether artistic, personal, or business-oriented--The Nine Muses demonstrates a wisdom that is as familiar and remarkably powerful now as it was for the Greek Gods.
