The Goddess Tarot

From the Deck: The Goddess Tarot is a celebration of the Divine Feminine. Drawing inspiration from the many goddess honoured throughout history and all over the globe, award-winning author and artist Kris Waldherr has created an essential tool of empowerment and transformation. Waldherr is well known for her bestselling The Book of Goddesses, from which some of the art in The Goddess Tarot has been taken.

The Goddess Tarot uses goddess stories and imagery to update traditional tarot symbolism, addressing women's contemporary needs as well as a mythic past. The deck's 78 lush-ly illustrated cards are divided into Major and Minor Arcanas, with four suits within the Minor Arcana. Suits are related to a particular goddess and the path suggested by her story, giving each suit a potent resonance: cups are associated with Venus, the Roman goddess of love; swords with Isis, the great Egyptian goddess who represents the journey of loss and redemption; pentacles with Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of prosperity; and staves with Freyja, the Norse goddess of creativity and beauty. 

As rich in symbolism as it is in beauty, the 78-card Goddess Tarot deck is an instrument for personal growth and an essential tool of empowerment and transformation for women everywhere. 

An Excerpt from the Mini Instruction Booklet: "My intention in creating the art and design for The Goddess Tarot was to create a tarot deck that would speak directly to women using our stories, while incorporating the archetypal power and symbols of the tarot. In this way The Goddess Tarot is meant as an accessible alternative deck for tarot readers already familiar with the popular Rider-Waite deck who seek a deeper experience of the Divine Feminine in their readings. It has been design to be readily accessible to lovers of goddesses and mythology without any tarot experience as well.

Whichever group you feel yourself affiliated with - tarot expert, goddess afficionado, or feminist - this offering of The Goddess Tarot is for you. As you work with The Goddess Tarot, I hope you will find it an essential instrument for personal growth - as well as the reclamation of the Divine Feminine." - Kris Waldherr
