5.0 out of 5 stars Tarot Through the Divine Feminine, November 23, 2010

We have all heard that life is an "inside out" adventure. It all starts internally. I chose the Mother of Peace deck of tarot in order to nurture my internal Divine Feminine as well as the Divine Feminine of those for whom I read the cards. First of all, the deck is round. That is so cool. In the magnificent yantras of sacred geometry by Ivan Rados, the circle is defined as the three dimensional expression of unity and completeness. The Mother of Peace deck symbolism is based on a time when the goddess (I prefer the term Divine Feminine)was honored and there was peace in the world.

I was part of a spiritually focused group that went to South Africa to seed the energy of the Divine Feminine. The Ritual presented in this book is transformational. Although written for women, men who want to strengthen their relationship with their internal divine feminine can use these rituals as well. Being raised Catholic, I have experienced ritual almost as "a brand". The brain responds to ritual by shifting out of beta (active) to alpha and even theta which are highly creative states of being. Being in altered states can assist in developing free will which choosing to create our of nothing rather than memory and programming. (The movie INCEPTION demonstrates this).

Experience can be our worst teacher. It keeps us from "infinite possibility". Using ritual can assist us in accessing infinite possibility with our development of "free will" defined as creating out of nothing versus creating our of programming.

If you are using the Mother of Peace Tarot Deck, are you willing to transform? To transcend even for moments? This book will assist you in fulfillment of you intentions.
