Mind Body & Soul Ezine Card Deck Review: Motherpeace Tarot by Karen Vogel and Vicki Nobel
published by U S Games Inc. Three products in this range: The original
Motherpiece Round deck, the Mini Deck, and the Guidebook and card set.
This is a revolutionary modern deck
(circa 1980) which features matriarchal cultures with an earth based
spirituality. The creators searched the world for early goddess philosophy,
myths, history and folklore whilst they were room-mates at Berkeley in
California together. Both are life long feminists and interested in intuition,
healing and the Divine Feminine. They produced these cards in the round - to be
read not just as upright and reversed but with the four positions, so with
innumerable potential for creative readings. The
four suits of the Minor Arcana are Cups; Wands, depicted with African culture;
Discs, illustrated with Navajo culture; and Swords, depicted with Greco-Roman
imagery. The Court Cards are; Daughter, Son, Priestess and Shaman and many of
the titles have changed, such as the Crone as the Hermit and the Hanged One as
the Hanged Man.
