Candles, as instruments of illumination with esoteric and ritual sense, have returned in recent years to reclaim the leading role they once had. Lighting a candle is a ritual, where traditions that speak of spell and spells are combined, from the tenderness of an evening by candlelight, through a simple bath under the relaxing effect of the special light of a few candles. The flames of candles radiate mystical powers and, for centuries, sorcerers, seers and fortune tellers have used them as space-creating instruments appropriate for their spells or to make predictions. The Tarot is an ancient practice, a path by which we begin understanding towards oneself, towards our sacred interior. The Tarot is an oracle, a means, by which, in some way, and through its drawings and colors, we stimulate our psychic sphere, the deepest part that goes beyond the rational. When we move the cards, a secret and powerful mechanism is put into operation, to open doors and means that connect us to the Universe. The Tarot is full of secrets, wonderful and powerful symbolisms that go beyond a great pictorial work. The magic, clairvoyance, or however you want to define it in you, will awaken little by little, as you practice and enter the intimate world of each card.

Candles, as instruments of illumination with esoteric and ritual significance, have made a comeback in recent years to regain the meaning they once had. The lighting of a candle is a ritual that combines traditions that speak of spells from the tenderness of a night by candlelight, to a simple bath under the relaxing effect of the special light of candles.

Jayne Wallace's early life was blighted by an incredibly painful condition that almost led her to turn her back on her spirit guide, Star, and her calling to be a psychic medium. At the age of 12 she was diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, and registered disabled. Fighting against her illness and dealing with the loss of her mother, it was hard to accept Star in her life. But Jayne eventually made peace with Star, who brought her an amazing gift - a connection with her mother in the spirit world. As Star helped Jayne, so Jayne has gone on to help others, channelling loved ones on the Other Side, offering guidance for the future, and hope and healing to those who are grieving. This is the most inspiring page turner on the psychic experience in the market today.

In this updated edition, it's plain to see that the state of Illinois has only gotten weirder. Where there was once just a single Popeye statue in downstate Chester, today the town has monuments to Olive Oyl, Swee' Pea, Bluto, the Sea Hag, and more. The creepy Piasa Bird petroglyph on the bluff in Alton now has a roadside pullout with picnic tables, and the two-story outhouse in Gays has a new contemplative garden. With almost twice as many destinations as its predecessor, this edition boasts detailed information on each site—address, phone number, website, hours, entry fees, and driving directions—as well as maps, photos, and a wealth of regional history in the descriptions. Some new sites include Henry's Rabbit Ranch, the World's First Jungle Gym, Ahlgrim Acres (a miniature golf course at a funeral home), the Leather Archives and Museum, General Santa Ana's two wooden legs, the World's Largest Sock Monkey, the Friendship Shoe Fence, a truck stop with a marionette show, and a coin-operated fire-breathing dragon. There is more between Chicago and St. Louis than cornfields and plenty of fascinating places in the Windy City that aren't on Michigan Avenue, and here is a chance to see these underappreciated sites throughout the state.
