Pattie McLaine is that rare psychic, a woman who puts you in touch not just with your future, but with yourself.
Pattie has told me what work projects would be coming up; she told me once, while I was in the middle of a book about the afterlife, exactly what I was writing, and that it would turn my head around. She warned me of the coming of a lawsuit over one of my novels, which turned out to be a landmark libel case. And happily, she has seen where even the darkest experience would lead to something I would learn froman attitude it never hurts to have.
She has been accurate about travel, love, God and money, not necessarily in that order. What more could anyone ask?

This book is an exciting journey of exploration and discovery for anyone who has ever asked: Who am I? Why am I here? Where am I going? My Master Spread was like receiving the cosmic road map to my lifepast, present, and future, both practical and spiritual. It showed me that inner space is as great an adventure as outer space, and that the acquisition of Self knowledge is the ultimate game of life.

Then every possible position of this Key within the Spread is discussed thoroughly for your understanding and ease in interpreting the Life Path of yourself and others.
Learn your special role on the Earth plane and in worlds beyond time and space... on your own Wheel of Destiny.
About the Author
At the age of three months, Patricia McLaine was taken into a church by her mother to dedicate her child's life to God. Psychic from childhood, most relatives dismissed her visionary tales as the product of a highly active imagination. With such a background, it is no wonder that Patricia has guided and advised people throughout the world through the oracle of Tarot and astrology over the last 44 years.
The pattern for the Master Spread revealed within this book came to her during a profound meditation experience in 1970. It still continues to give deep and specific insight into spiritual as well as practical matters and to provide direction to many looking for aspects of the truth.
Pattie appears in the popular Time-Life Books series Mysteries of the Unknown in the volume Psychic Powers. Such publications as The New Times Magazine, People, Women's World, McCall's, The Washington Post, Empire (UK) and You magazine of The London Daily Mail have featured articles about her work. She also appears in a video produced by Non-Fiction Films for the Discovery Channel, Strictly Supernatural in the segment on Tarot.
In addition to writing, Patricia lectures on Tarot, astrology, Qabalah, meditation and visualization techniques, psychic and spiritual development. She is a member of the Association for Research and Enlightenment, the Builders of the Adytum (graduate), The Association for Transpersonal Psychology, and the Institute of Noetic Sciences.
Pattie has a show on Blog Talk Radio (www.blogtalkradio.com): "Exploring the Paranormal with Pattie," with expert guests from time to time, which may be heard live on Sunday, in addition to listening to several of the latest shows on her website: www.patriciamclaine.com on the Blog Talk Radio page or downloaded as MP3s at www.blogtalkradio.com.

Special Acknowledgments
On our long and arduous journey back to the Source, many different souls visible and invisible, influence our unfoldment. At this point on the Path, I wish first to thank GOD, the Ineffable One, and next to express profound gratitude to the Great Ones who have so beautifully channeled Divine intent: Jesus, Moses, Abraham, Krishna, Buddha and Mohammed, to name a few.
Next I want to thank a few of their finer messengers, those who have had direct influence in spreading the teachings and in touching my life: Paul Foster Case, Ann Davies, Edgar Cayce, Clara Spring, Manly P. Hall, Babaji (the Divine Himalayan Yogi), Paramahansa Yogananda, Swami Vivekananda, H. H. Dalai Lama, Swami Muktananda, Swami Anagarika Govinda, Thomas Troward, Joseph Campbell, Z'ev ben Shimon Halevi, Hazrat Inayat Khan and Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan, some of whom have already joined the great Companionship of the Immortals.
The words expressed and the philosophy contained in this work reflect teachings and wisdom gleaned from many who have valiantly walked the Way before me, including Those of the Inner School who patiently supplied me with relevant information for each and every chapter.
I also want to express my sincere gratitude to my children, Tomi and Mark Jacobs, for putting up with the constant parade of clients through their home during their developing years, in addition to all my friends and students, my spiritual family, for their loving encouragement and support over the many years this book was taking form, especially Virginia Guevara, Lilavati Sharma Pardue, Nikki Schoenberg, Jeanne Avery, Virginia Loeffler, Judy Diamond, Doris Wallace, and the late Susan Strasberg. Each of them helped to keep me going when clouds of doubt loomed before me, and because of them, for various and sundry reasons, I was able to finish this book.
My first astrologer and astrological teacher, the late Franka Moore, was the first to predict that I would one day write philosophical and metaphysical books. This book is the first in the fulfillment of that prophecy (although I must admit at the time I thought the woman was somewhat delusional). I'm grateful to her for introducing me to a wondrous new world that became an important part of my life's work. I also want to thank the late psychic George Darius for proclaiming my purpose and destiny that same fateful summer of 1964, although then I also seriously questioned his sanity.
