Arthur Edward Waite was born in 1857 in New York and was brought up in Jamaica and died in 1942 in Britain.

It removes Biblical characters from the context of mythical heroes and presents them as real people. It is a human perspective on people whose actions and stories have influenced our culture for thousands of years.

The Whole Elephant Revealed

Mind Body & Soul Ezine Book Review: The Whole Elephant Revealed - Insights into the existence and operation of Universal Laws and the Golden Ratio by Marja De Vries Publisher: Axis MundiPaperback: £18.99 ebook £6.99  403 Pages.Authors website: www.marjadevries.nl/

The title ‘The Whole Elephant Revealed’ is taken from a twelfth century Sufi story of a village where all the inhabitants were blind. When the King brought one to the village one day, each person was allowed to feel a part of the creature. One felt the trunk and thought it was a hollow pipe, another the ear and thought it was a large rug, another the tail and his extraordinary impressions of this and so on. Each part created confusion and no-one could agree to its purpose because the entire animal could not be envisaged.
