3.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful artwork, inspiring messages but..... January 30, 2006

By Ethony*

Format:Cards

Now before you tear through me for having a differing opinion, I want to say that Doreen's work is important and she does a wonderful job. Here are my opinions:

She seems to just keep churning all of these oracle decks out. There are so many of them. I understand that the different themes accommodate for peoples tastes, for example: I have the Healing with the Fairies and Goddess Oracle and I bought my sister the Unicorn Oracle. But there just seems to be a processed feel about it.

As a working Wiccan and study of the Goddess for years, I found all of the information very surface, again I understand that she is bringing the light of the Goddess to the wider public and makes it easy to understand, but where is the "Dark" Goddess archetype? I really wanted to see Hecate or Persephone in here. There are some amazing lessons of facing your fears, your "shadow self" and compromise to learn from these goddesses. There is nothing scary or evil about these Goddesses. At least she has included some powerful transformational Goddesses like Pele and Kali.

The Artwork as always beautiful, but that mostly comes from the fact that the artists who painted them putting their time and love into each piece. It is easy to Google image search and find Goddess images. So that part of the oracle would have been quite easy. The gold lining gives it a nice touch.

I would recommend this to people who are just starting out with Goddesses. A really good oracle is: The Goddess Oracle by Amy Sophia Marashinsky, Hrana Janto.

5.0 out of 5 stars Receive Empowering And Healing Wisdom From The Goddesses August 19, 2004

By Janet Boyer HALL OF FAMETOP 500 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

Format:Paperback

"By working with the goddesses, you heal and empower your own inner feminine wisdom, which is within every woman and man. Your intuition is awakened, allowing you to be even more psychic. The goddesses also clear and open your heart chakra, which results in increased manifestation abilities. As we all awaken our own inner feminine power, our world becomes more balanced..." --Dr. Doreen Virtue

The goddesses are powerful, loving beings who want to help you with every part of your life. Goddesses come from various cultures and religions and work "hand-in-wing" with the angels. Dr. Doreen Virtue--clairvoyant, Doctor of Psychology, and angel therapist--has created a stunning new deck, Goddess Guidance Oracle Cards, to assist you in contacting goddesses, receiving their important wisdom for both yourself and others.

This 44-card deck comes in a sturdy, glossy box and is accompanied by a 119-paged Guidebook. Each card has a gloss finish, featuring gorgeous artwork by various artists and a short message from each goddess. What I found the most delightful about the cards is their gilt edging. Remember the old family Bibles whose pages shone gold while shut? This is the lustrous effect of gilt edging--perfect for a deck dedicated to the goddesses, don't you think?

The goddesses featured in Goddess Guidance Oracle Cards are from both ancient and modern cultural and religious traditions, spanning Greek, Roman, Mayan, Christian, Gnostic, Buddhist, Egyptian, Celtic, African, Norse, Hindu, Inuit and other affiliations. In the Guidebook, expanded information for each goddess is given including:

*A channeled message from the goddess
*General meanings for each card (key phrases)
*Brief bio (history, religion/tradition, characteristics)

Dr. Virtue gives insightful pointers in the Guidebook including how to consecrate your deck, give readings to others, and use the cards for personal meditation, guidance, and healing. She also gives advice on spreads, reading reversals, and storing your cards. I especially like her advice on how to instantly infuse your deck with white light, clearing it of muddy energy (rap your knuckle on the deck with your dominant hand) and how to "read" a person when talking on the phone to ascertain their character and motivations.

If you're looking to honor divine feminine wisdom and guidance offered by the goddesses, as well as incorporating their loving and profound wisdom into your life, I highly recommend this deck. In addition, these cards can be used in conjunction with Doreen's other oracle decks.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful! April 15, 2005

By K. S. Murphy

Format:Cards

When you open these cards up, it's like an amazing present you got as a child. The art work and the gold siding makes them seem devine.

For me this is a hard deck to read such as... "Sulis: Spend time near water, such as lakes, river or ocean, to recharge your batteries" its meanings range from large to vauge and then there are very straight forward cards... "Bright: Stand up for what you believe is right."

It's a mixed bag, I think it depends on how you relate to the Goddess energy. It's still quite useful, yet I prefer her other decks. I figure it's only a 44 card deck because of numerology principles behind the number 44.

Four out of Five stars for beautiful artwork and functional deck.
