A few years back I wrote about a website called Forgotten Books. Someone from the site recently wrote me to say that they’ve been updating so I thought I’d write about it again.
It’s pretty fabulous – over 1,000,000 books available for download. And despite the name of the site, the books might be old, but not all of them have been forgotten.
There are titles like The Art of War by Lau Tzu, Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.
The Prophecies of Nostradamus are there, as is Darwin’s The Origin of Species, and of course, the ever-popular Kama Sutra of Vatsayayana.
Though there’s nothing new at Forgotten Books, what’s great is that all the books are free … or at least the first 50 downloads per computer, kindle, or other reading device are.
That’s a lot of reading material. If you want even more though, membership rates or one-time download packages are quite reasonable.
For Tarot people in particular, there’s a huge esoteric section. And there are a number of titles specifically about Tarot.
Classics like Papus’ The Tarot of the Bohemians, MacGregor Mathers’ The Tarot, and Arthur E. Waite’s’, The Pictorial Key to the Tarot.
It’s easy to see how this post could turn into nothing more than a long list so I’m going to stop here.
I’ll add only that if you like free classic books of any kind, you should visit the site and look around for yourself.

High Priestess as Justice
The Moon moved into Libra today, and will stay there until Thursday.
Looking at this transit through the lens of the Tarot, it would be like the High Priestess is wearing Justice’s clothing. She takes on the mantle of the Karmic Decider.
With the High Priestess as Justice, or the Moon in Libra, we might be required to face up to something and decide.
Our emotions will demand respect. If we’ve leaned too far back or forward, we’ll probably find ourselves moving just as dramatically the other way.
It can be a slightly challenging period, perhaps a little manic. But by the time it’s done, something is likely to have been decided upon.
Don’t be alarmed by conflicting emotions. They’re there because you can see both sides. It’s not good enough though to just acknowledge them and walk away.
During this transit you’re being asked to take a stand one way or another. And you’ve got the wisdom and power to do so.

Page of Cups

Page of Cups
Sweetness abounds when the page of cups is around. This is a great day to communicate emotions – enthusiastically and without censor, especially to those you love.
There’s a lightness in the air and the sense that something new could be starting. And it just might be.
It’s good to remember though, that there’s no need for you to commit to anything serious right now. It’s still the time of freshness and beginnings. Becoming heavy now would only dampen what’s still just growing.
Express yourself and let your imagination wander.
