5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning, lovely, goddesses, December 15, 2006

This deck of divination cards is excellent for anyone who is interested in goddesses from different cultures, as well as Tarot enthusiasts, alternative religions, or just in pretty artwork. Hrana Janto, the artist who painted the deck, worked hard to make each goddess both representative of the traditional symbolism surrounding her religion, as well as the various ways women "are" in the world. We have round, full-bodied women, young, old (the Sheila Na Gig is amazing, for example), thin, black, white, and all shades in between. There are women in the deck who could be supermodels, and some who look like they've had (and are proud of having) a couple of children. And all are reverence with the "goddesses in every woman" theory of all bodies and beauties being wonderful.

The deck opens itself up for a number of personalized types of readings for the person who is looking for answers. You can use mutliple spreads or just one card.

I recommend this deck as highly as I can, and the new US Games version has more durable cards, and are smaller as well, which could work a lot better for smaller hands to shuffle.

The fine research into goddess traditions done by Marashinsky is still relevant, and I think this deck & book would make a great Christmas present. In fact, that's how I received it, and it is a welcome member of my Tarot collection.

Okay, I admit it. I actually bought this for the artwork on the cards. I'm not really a big fan of tarot or oracles and such, but I just love the work of Hrana Janto.

That being said, I found that I was also was quite fascinated with the book that accompanies the cards. Goddess in so many forms, from so many cultures, so many aspects. Quite an interesting read.

I'd recommend this set to anyone who enjoys inspired illustration, and to anyone who is interested in historical and multi-cultural concepts of the goddess. Even if you don't want to use the cards as an oracle, the set is worth having for many other reasons.
