BEWARE: MINI DECK included, November 2, 2004
I love the Motherpeace deck and I used it for many years. I recently bought this set from Amazon, hoping to replace my old deck. I was surprised to find that it is NOT a full sized deck -- it is a "mini-deck." This is not mentioned in the description of the product.
I had to remove the shrink wrap to find this out, and then Amazon hit me with a $15 charge when I sent them back for a refund. OUCH .....
UPDATE: Amazon did eventually refund my money, since their description was not complete.

Excellent tool for Spiritual Growth, December 31, 2001
Since I bought this deck a few years ago, it has helped me through immense personal growth. Where most other decks are scary and intimidating, this deck is reassuring, validating, honest and deeply wise. As far as the feminist messages in the cards and book, I have found them very much based on love, and the perspective presented has been decidedly useful to me. It is not feminist in the negative sense (ie "man-hating"), but rather is feminist in the positive sense (loving, woman empowering). Probably there are people who will be turned off by this strong feminist slant, but for most women, I think it is an asset that they will appreciate. I just asked my husband what his opinion was on the feminist slant of the deck. He says that the images on the cards (rather simple images with plenty of naked people, predominantly women) would be a turnoff to many men. On the other hand, he thinks highly of the deck, having seen first hand how much it has helped me through transitions in my life, and he respects the messages and wisdom that comes through the cards. In fact, it's interesting to note that the cards have, many times, helped our relationship over rough patches, and guided me into deeper love and trust of my husband. I think that any woman who is looking for a deck that will help her to tune into her own intuition, a deck she can trust with her deepest questions, this is THE deck. Personally, I have not found any other deck that I would trust in the way I trust this deck. It goes to the heart of any question, helping to gain honest, loving perspective, and empowering you to make good decisions.

To help us not be our own worst enemies!, August 7, 2000
By A Customer
Greetings! I find that this deck is one of my favorites. The only complaint I have is the difficulty in using a round deck--but I have found a way to work around that. *grin* Now, to address all those of you who wrote negative comments about the deck, in regard to it being female centric--isn't it about time? For years we have dealt with the male centric view of magick and Goddess worship. This carried over into tarot decks and other forms of divination.In ancient times, women were the ones of power and men respected a woman in all her glory. Menstrual cycles were expected and praised, young women did not fear rape and incest, and when the crone years came, women were not tossed outside to live in an "old age" hut. I would like to direct you to history. Goddess based faiths were peace-loving, and historians have found no weapons at sites were women, and the Goddess, were revered. However, in the male-dominated sites, several types of weapons and devices of torture have been found. So, in conclusion, I highly suggest these cards for any person, male or female. It is an investment with great payoffs!
