Description
Meditations on the Tarot by Valentin Tomberg
Drawing on the rich theological and mystical traditions of Christianity, including its oft-neglected esoteric streams, as well other religious and sapiential traditions past and present, every paragraph of Meditations on the Tarot shines with the light of a lifetime of contemplation enriched by the ever-nourishing sacramental life found in the Corpus mysticum, all of which the anonymous author integrates with the Christian vision of faith by means of 22 Letters addressed to “Unknown Friends,” inspired by the imagery of the Major Arcana of the Tarot considered analogically on the Hermetic model of “as above, so below.” Published now with an extended table of contents, translations of supplementary material from earlier editions, an addendum of recently discovered early notes, and an exhaustive index, this new Angelico Press edition is a priceless gift for today’s spiritual seekers.

Rainbow Body by Loel Guinness
£89.00
There is no better illustration of the radical transformative power of the ancient Tibetan contemplative teachings of Dzogchen than the extraordinary phenomenon of bodily disappearance or “rainbow body”, which is considered its ultimate fruit. In this groundbreaking study of rainbow body in the Bön tradition, which is the first of its kind in a western language, the neophyte reader is guided into the profound insights of Dzogchen, while all the components required to understand this most mysterious and enigmatic of phenomena are laid out gently and methodically.
Illustrated by unique thangkas commissioned especially for this study, the book’s emphasis is on clarity of exposition. Simple enough for the layman, but detailed enough to do justice to these ancient and subtle traditions, Rainbow Body serves both as an introduction to Bön Dzogchen, and also as a pioneering study of Tibetan textual sources related to the phenomenon of rainbow body. It is offered to the public in the hope that as many people as possible may benefit from the profundity of this ancient wisdom. For as Loel Guinness states in his preface, “Dzogchen is not just for monks. It is as suitable for the businessman, the academic, the adventurer, or the practitioner. The insights of Dzogchen are relevant for all”.
The 2021 edition is updated and revised in a smaller, more accessible format, of the 2018 edition.
