Kirrenderri: Heart of the Channel Country
Michael C. Westaway; Mandana Mapar; Tracey Hough; Shawnee Gorringe; Geoff Ginn
Brisbane: The University of Queensland Anthropology Museum, 2022.“The project was developed in partnership between the Anthropology Museum, Mithaka Aboriginal Corporation and researchers from The University of Queensland. This publication contains 14 essays by 22 contributors and explores the pre-colonial history of the Channel Country, to the early years of European settlement and through to the more recent history, now being shaped by the academic researchers that have come to study the distant past of the land and the people who have always been part of this story. But this is not just about the past – it continues into the present. Central to this story is the involvement of the Aboriginal people who have never ceased their connection to the Channel Country.” (publisher’s blurb)

Tarosophy: Tarot to Engage Life, Not Escape It
Marcus Katz
Brisbane and Chiang Mai: Salamander and Sons, 2015.“Based upon 30 years of studying, reading and teaching tarot, more than 10,000 face-to-face readings and extensive research in the field, Marcus Katz successfully combines academic rigour with invaluable practical experience and breathtaking originality. Suitable for all tarot readers – from absolute beginners to experienced professionals – Tarosophy is written in three sections: basic tarot in a new light for the beginning Tarosophist, intermediate tarot in a magical light for the enquiring Tarosophist, and advanced tarot in a spiritual light for the progressive Tarosophist. From terminology and technique, to reading and spreads, inner work and trees, Tarosophy encapsulates the wisdom of tarot as a living, divine art and science; a dynamic interface between awareness and appearance, and a system to observe, tie and untie the ‘secret knots’ that bind the world. With 50 unique exercises, in excess of 50 illustrations, extensive footnotes, and detailed reading lists, there are more new tarot ideas on any given page of Tarosophy than in some entire texts on the subject.” (publisher’s blurb) This copy with a laid in presentation bookplate signed by the author.

Michael Bernard Kelly
Melbourne: Clouds of Magellan Press, 2021.“In 1994, Michael Kelly recorded six video lectures for the Erospirit Research Institute, charting a spirituality for gay and lesbian Christians grounded in the contemplative, mystical traditions of the church. Joseph Kramer, who commissioned the lectures, writes, “His powerful words … seemed to come straight from his heart and right into mine. I told Michael that he was offering transformative guidance, like Joseph Campbell did in his Hero’s Journey. ‘You have described the Mystic’s Journey for Gay and Lesbian Christians. The lectures, released in 1995, were digitised and re-released in 2020. Now this transcription of the lectures is published for the first time, and includes a study guide to the series prepared by Michael Kelly.” (publisher’s blurb)

To make this complex topic more accessible, How They Fought includes numerous tables, figures and diagrams that illustrate and summarize the contents.” (publisher’s blurb)
