I’ve put together a selection of books to support, guide, and inspire your own practice of the intuitive arts. You can think of intuition as a synergistic and dynamic relationship.

The Book Report by Rebecca Traver - Our Online Bookshop Curator

In the same way that we can never step into the same river twice, we can never read the same book in quite the same way we have before. While the words themselves remain the same on the page, it’s we who have changed, experienced new things, shifted our perspectives, and evolved our processes. Perhaps you’ll be reunited with some of your old friends or feel prompted to make some new ones.
