Book Description

Publication Date: April 15, 2000

Thirteenth-century Persian poet Rumi remains one of the world's most popular mystics and poets; his fans include PBS' Bill Moyers, among others. Tuttle is proud to offer a beautifully produced package of Rumi's peerless wisdom, in a new translation text and 54 interactive cards. The book explores the history of Rumi and his career as a spiritual instructor and sage. The colorful cards are divided into six families-birth, love, ordeal, transformation, warnings, and rewards-and come with interpretations and instructions for using them for meditation, inspiration, and to answer life's questions. Attractive, handy, and easy-to-use, Rumi: The Card and Book Pack is a fun, enlightening way to arrive at greater self-knowledge through the insightful words of one of the greatest sages of all time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Primo Tool for "Connecting", November 29, 2001

This review is from: Rumi: The Card and Book Pack - Meditation, Inspiration, Self-Discovery (Hardcover)

A wonderful addition to my collection of divinity tools...my first introduction to Rumi. Very nice, high-quality. I love how the cards are more pliable than most cards. In my most memorable drawing of these cards to-date, I was being told that I had earned a profound blessing...I was at one of the lowest points in my life and I scoffed at the prospect; but not long after, the blessing came and was truly unmistakable. Tools like this, that make these divine experiences so brilliantly clear are invaluable in deepening the faith and inspiring the "magic."

5.0 out of 5 stars Rumi Wisdom at Critical Life Moments, August 24, 2004

This review is from: Rumi: The Card and Book Pack - Meditation, Inspiration, Self-Discovery (Hardcover)

I am a writer and know how seldom we hear about the impact of our work, so I wanted to share a sense of how much the Rumi cards have meant to me.

First, it is a truly beautiful set and one of the best short write-ups of Rumi that I've come across. I think I bought it shortly after it was released and have used it for big decision moments over the years. The answers I have received often were not what I wanted to hear but have always turned out to be wise and valuable.

The first time I was amazed by the result was during a rough patch in my marriage. I was ready to walk out the door when I decided to "ask Rumi." The answer was definitely NOT what I wanted to hear ... Rumi said, "Don't go anywhere, I beg you;" Shocked by this very specific answer, I stayed and we weathered the storm and celebrated our 22nd anniversary this month.

There are more stories like this but the important point is that I have come to rely on the wisdom gathered from these cards.

Eryk Hanut's "Rumi Cards" are a fabulous addition to my knowledge and practice in the work of Rumi. They are very appealing to the senses and help deepen my understanding of both Rumi and myself. And sometimes I am flat out stunned by the outcome. It feels like magic!
