A queer cult favorite, The Beatrix Gates is a colorful mix of science fiction, magic realism, memoir, and myth exploring themes of spirituality and transformation. Courage and cowardice contend in a literary odyssey unlike any other. Written especially for this volume, "Trans Central Station" is Pollack's personal and political take on the transgender experience then and now--and tomorrow? "Burning Beard" is a fiercely revisionist Bible tale of plague and prophecy told through a postmodern prose of many colors. "The Woman Who Didn't Come Back" is about just what it says. And there is of course PM Press' usual and unusual Outspoken Interview.

Something is coming, something far, far worse than death . . . In a far-away land of magic and legends, Matyas is determined to drag himself up from the gutter, become a wizard and learn to fly. But he, too, can hear the children crying. Two vastly different worlds. One ancient evil. The child eater is coming . . .'An intricately imagined Tarot-themed fantasy' - Guardian

What can reliably guide us in times of rapid change? Focusing on the daily Tarot card, Rachel Pollack and Johannes Fiebig offer simple magical practices and interpretations for each of the 78 Tarot cards, which can easily be put into practice. In addition, they discuss perspectives reaching until 2024, which is as long as the current crucial period of transformation with "Pluto in Capricorn" will last. It has become common practice, since the time of the renowned Order of the Golden Dawn, to assign Tarot cards to individual sections of the yearly cycle. These periods are known as decans. This quality of time, which the Tarot cards also express (although largely unknown), is skillfully used by the authors. Both authors are experienced Tarot experts with book sales of over a million copies each. They combine forces in this international project. Tarot for Magical Times is being published simultaneously in English and in German editions on several continents. Excellent and reliable interpretations from two of the world's best-known Tarot masters.
