Summary: Beautiful
Review: Absolutely beautiful. The artwork contains enough symbology for easy interpretation while giving insight into the characteristics of the goddesses portraied. I personally use the deck for meditation more than divination and in that respect it is invaluable. The cards are very large and a little difficult to shuffle, which I consider the only drawback of the deck, and this prevents me from using it frequently for divination. I would recommend this deck to anyone interested in the Tarot and Goddess spirituality or Wicca.

Summary: goddess tarot review
Review: I have been collecting tarot decks for a couple years now, and have more than a dozen decks I use regularly. The Goddess Tarot is a kinder, gentler deck than most. While I have had very accurate readings with others, when I read for myself, I find very depressing outcomes. Not so with the Goddess deck, as others have mentioned, it points towards reasons why things are the way they are, instead of beating one over the head with what the problem is. I found this very condusive to meditation, and found some very satisfactory answers, to some very thorny problems in my life. I would very highly recommed this deck for those with some experience reading cards. Wonderful addition to any collection. Beautiful artwork is a plus!!!

Summary: Feminine Deck Filled With Lore and Lovely Art
Review: I love the art of the talented Kris Waldherr, especially her Book of Goddesses that this deck is based upon. This is a wonderful Tarot deck that bases its symbolism on the Rider-Waite deck but it has transformed the symbols into female, Goddess centered mythos. The artwork is very beautiful, detailed and evocative. The cards are larger than a standard deck but it seemed that my hands just got used to the size after a while. The Major Arcana cards each feature a different goddess and include this line-up: Tara, Isis, Sarasvati, Estsanatlehi, Freyja, Juno, Venus, Rhiannon, Athena, Chang O, Lakshmi, Oya, Kuan Yin, Ukemochi, Yemana, Nyai Loro Kidul, The Wawalak, Inanna, Diana, The Zorya, Gwenhwyfar, and Gaia. As you can see, the deck introduces many of the less familiar goddesses. The small paper pamphlet that accompanies the deck offers a sampling of their lore. A helpful workbook is available separately. The Minor Arcana is divided up into four different cultural stories each corresponding with one of the four elements, water, air, earth and fire. Each card except for the court cards shows a woman as she undergoes the journey symbolized by the suit. The suit of Cups is the Path of Venus, Staves is Freyja, Swords is Isis, and Pentacles is Lakshmi. The court cards show the querant's psyche in different times and areas of life and can also be used to represent different people.
I think the deck is very user friendly and I enjoy its different focus. So many women seek out Tarot readings to help them work through and understand the influence of the men in their lives upon their lives. This deck is so useful for keeping querants focused on their own issues and their own well-being.

Summary: Lovely
Review: I really enjoyed this deck, not just for its oracle properties but for the beautiful artwork, which is based on the book by the same author. Experienced tarot readers will recognize the correlations in the major arcana easily- Isis, magic (the magician), Venus, love (the lovers) Nyai Loro Kydul-temptation (the devil) and so forth. The artwork of the major arcana is gorgeous. The minor arcana is less impressive, but still beautiful. I have found that the readings are quite accurate and offer helpful solutions to problems when they arise. It is a very gentle deck. The cards are way to large for my hands, which are long! AFter I softened the cards with use, they are much easier to handle. I believe the size is an asset to the beautiful artwork, and collectors will appreciate it. Well worth the price.

Summary: The Goddess
Review: I think this is the absolutely most beautiful deck ever. I find it easy to use and lovingly crafted. I found that the Majors were Goddesses could be off putting to some I have read for however, they are personally a delight.

Summary: So-so deck
Review: Is it just me? Sure, the art is good. Sure, we need Goddess depictions. But, I found the deck curiously lacking in any kind of traditional tarot symbolism that would clue the reader in to the various interpretations of the card. If you've memorized the goddesses and know what they stand for, you are in good shape. A beginner, however, won't derive much benefit from this deck. Pretty pictures may go a long way for some, but symbolism is at the heart of the tarot. I like a little more meat with my veggies.

Summary: very beginner friendly
Review: The Goddess Tarot was my chosen deck when I first started out with the tarot. Its energy and imagery is gentle, soft, and lovely. There is no nudity and no 'scary' pictures.As a beginner, cards such as the death card and the tower card were particularly disturbing to me, so to replace the images with pictures of great goddesses was the only way I could feel comfortable working with the tarot. I've outgrown this deck for general purposes, but whenever I need guidance I find myself returning to this deck. This deck is more spiritual than any other deck out there and very gentle. It's really a very beautiful deck. The reason I don't use this deck all the time anymore is that the imagery of the tarot is really what speaks to me when I do readings. The major arcana in this Goddess deck consists of goddesses, thus much of the imagery is hard for me to delve into and get a good 'vibe' from without spending hours researching and working with each goddess. Also, I grew less afraid of the scarier images, and once I put that fear aside, the traditional tarot blossomed since I wasn't hesitant to handle it anymore. The Goddess Tarot is a beautiful deck. It's feminine in the best sense of the word. It's client friendly, children friendly, and beginner friendly with its gentle images. Sometimes when doing readings face to face with a querent, I'll pull out the Goddess Tarot deck with more jittery persons. There are some people that jump out of their chair when they see the death, tower, or devil card. It sounds and looks much gentler in this deck. Instead of Death you have Transformation. Instead of the Devil you have Temptation. It's really a deck that anybody can benefit from, even if it's just to appreciate its asthetic beauty.

Summary: My first deck
Review: This deck is absolutely beautiful. The artwork is amazing and the companion book is very accurate. A little bit different from traditional tarot but still very accurate. Each card has a different goddess on it and each goddess may have a different message for you. Good as a daily one card oracle or a regular tarot deck, this deck is one of my favorites!
