The Germinatrix: and Other Tall Tales (Short and Tall Tales Book 3) Kindle Edition

by Tom Evans (Author), Paula Swenson (Illustrator) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars (12)
This book of short stories is both charmed and charming which was written to bring magic and wonder into the lives of its readers.

The twenty two tales, and the art works that inspired them, are short explorations and expositions of aspects of our consciousness. The aspects of these tall tales is what makes us human.

Not one story takes long to read but their significance might take a little time to filter through to the reader’s awareness.

Simply spot serendipities and chance encounters that come in after reading it to know the magic is working.

What readers are saying:

“This book gives us the encouragement to step up and step out so we can live our lives out loud in ways we may not have thought of before ...”

"It reminded me of this quote of Helen Keller, 'One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar'. What the Germinatrix awakens in the reader is the impulse to soar."

”I must remember to talk to my windows some more …”

”Ohhhh, the Perception Deception has made me cry!”

“… someday I want to hear the story of what the female seahorse does after she leaves.”

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Tom is an ex-BBC television engineer turned author.

In his mid-40s, he wrote a book by accident and, before he knew it, became and author's mentor specialising in clearing writer's blocks and teaching writers how to tap into unlimited creativity.

He has now morphed into an internationally renowned meditation guide on the back of the meditations that accompanied his books.

In this new decade, Töm Evans, the author of fiction is emerging, augmented by ambient music inspired by his books.

His writing is aimed at exploring what makes us creative (and what stops it). As a result, his area of research has taken him down the route of researching the esoteric and other worldly as well as cutting edge scientific thinking and research.

His aim is to take the esoteric (the occult, obscure and hidden), to demystify it and make it exoteric (known and understood). He is an engaging speaker and works both 1-2-1 with authors and in group workshop.

Tom comes with a big caveat - people who read his books find all sorts of magic starting to emerge in their lives.

    I am loving this book! The short stories are amazing and out of this world. They are getting me to see life through new eyes. I read another of Tom Evans books (New Magic For A New Era) and found it equally awesome!
    I think this basically unknown author deserves ALOT more credit!

    I'm not a Tarot person so the beginning of the book left me a little put off; however, once I got into the Tall Tales, I didn't put the book down until I finished everyone. These are certainly "thinking" Tall tales with some wonderful twists. The pictures before each tale are a perfect blend of fantasy and meaning. All in all, it is a delightful little book.

    The stories in this book are told in a lighthearted way to offer a little inspiration for the day. You can read just one story and mull on it for awhile. The illustrations are lovely and delicate with mostly natural imagery and soft, inviting colors. A very sweet book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!
    Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2014
    Format: Kindle
    I love that each chapter begins with an image that corresponds to the story offering a much deeper, richer experience. And that the stories are an experience, not simply a delightful read.

    The images evoke a dreamy quality and their symbols are a mystery to uncover over time, which comes from the story itself. It is brilliant that each image, upon looking at it for only 30 seconds bring us not just into the essence of the story itself, but can unlock the unconscious mind of the reader to call up a story from their life that directly corresponds to the one they have just read.

    This book will be the tipping point in the lives of countless people to wake up from their creeping state to soaring state. Having just said that, it brings to mind this quote of Helen Keller: “One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar”. The Germinatrix awakens in the reader the impulse to soar.

    So said Timothy Leary, revisiting his most famous quote during the emergence of the cyberdelic counterculture. What relevance does this have, you might ask, on the Germinatrix?

    Plenty. This collection of twenty-two beguiling esoteric tales accompanied by equally contemplative artwork is a retelling of stories that have long been passed down by those who are in tune with their own consciousness.

    My only regret is not buying the physical copy of this book, so that I could take in the artwork. Although one might argue, as the idiom goes, you should not judge a book by its cover. In the spirit of Penguin Classics, the Kindle edition offers exactly the same teachings that its physical counterpart offers, only on a literary device. This in itself seems quite appropriate seeing the tales themselves are all allegories.

    Allegories are effectively extended metaphors that illustrate complex ideas in such a way that the recipient can readily understand it.

    This is a book that you will find yourself revisiting many times. Each tale can be absorbed on its own and are lightweight enough to read in one session or dwell upon during a reflective moment.

    Beautiful illustrations which lend weight to the "tall tales" - but I wish I'd purchased it as a 'proper' book, as opposed to Kindle, so I could look in more detail at the artwork!!
