The Goddess Tarot Deck

There are a lot of beautiful decks out there, but not all of them are great for reading. I was not sure if I would connect with this deck. Yes, it is beautiful. Yes it gives beautiful readings. It has become my go-to deck. I cannot express in words how much I love it, but here is my review.The Minor Arcana have blended goddess imagery with traditional Tarot perfectly. I've found a lot of "theme" decks can get gimmicky and try to fit the theme to the very specific situations on the cards, making the messages murky and readings are clunky. The Minor Arcana in this deck, not so. The characters have just been replaced with goddesses, a different goddess corresponding with each suit. The suit of Pentacles is especially beautiful and rich, with Lakshmi being the protagonist and gorgeous lotus imagery throughout. You still get some masculine energy as there are Princes and Kings in the court cards.The Major Arcana does deviate from traditional Tarot as each are represented by a different goddess. However, the theme of each Major is still intact. In total, you get beautiful artwork of 21 goddesses from different cultures and I have really enjoyed learning about each one.People have complained that the cards are thin, but as a small-handed shuffler, I appreciate how manageable the cards are. I am going to trim the white edges off. I have also put them in a nicer box, as I feel the one they arrived in didn't really do them justice.I hope this review was helpful and if you order this deck, that you enjoy it as much as I do. Peace and love!

I've been collecting tarot decks for a very long time. This year I've been splurging left and right adding new decks to my collection. This deck is gorgeous. The cards are on the large side. They have a nice thickness. The artwork is rich in detail. it does take some getting used to since they use various goddess issues for the Major Arcana. The Minor Arcana is a bit more traditional; yet, it still stays with the Goddess theme. A great deck.

....First, I expected your average sized pack of tarot cards. No - The Goddess Tarot is a big, beautiful tarot - with a high glossed finish. The colors are gentle, swirling, and yet such a warm, comforting feel flows from these cards. The suits (swords, wands, cups, pentacles) have been arranged according to :The Magician (1 - Magic) ISIS takes you through the suit of Swords, with The King of Swords as Osiris, although the swords represent thought and communication, the goddess brings her own love story and experiences with her in the suitThe Emperor (4 - Power) FREYA takes you through the suit of Wands, with her fiery, warroress energyThe Lovers (6 - Love) VENUS takes you through the suit of cups which is so flowing and romantic with its seaside artWheel of Fortune (10 Fortune) LAKSHMI and her consort Vishnu takes you through the suit of pentacles, with its lovely scenes of India.The deck is like sitting having hot tea in a cozy kitchen with a gentle and wise old grandmother. I love the personable energies of the deck, and also to its credit, the card meanings and presentation are in standard RWS format which translates well from the standard RWS pack to The Goddess Tarot. In a nutshell? This tarot deck is a sheer joy to own and has become among my top 3 personal reading decks. Worth every penny plus so much more.

WARNING: The cards that you will receive are the "pocket" tarot cards, which have a different cover. When I bought these, I thought they would be like the standard-sized ones which have a cover similar to this. However, the cards and small booklet inside are the same, they're just much smaller and different than the one depicted. The one that you will receive has a picture of an Egyptian-type goddess on the front.Besides that cards coming not as I expected, these cards are beautiful and absolutely worth the money. They are by far my favorite cards (other than the standard-sized ones) and I highly recommend them. They are similar to the universal deck in format, but depict goddesses and the stories behind them. Very good for those trying to get in touch with their feminine side, connect with feminine energies, or just like looking at pictures of goddesses.
