Dark Goddess Tarot - Schiffer Publishing for Dummies

Therefore it shall be therefore it is. A 172 page book of wonders, composed by Ellen Lorenzi-Prince as just she can compose an instinctive guide into a few of the strongest powers that you will ever experience! Reference about the deck: It follows a conventional structure, essential: Fire, Water, Air, and Earth.

The court cards are relabelled to represent fearsome female powers: Amazon (strong and independent), Siren (sexuality), Witch (practitioner of magic), and Hag (one who strolls with death). I love that the deck is NOT meant to be used with turnarounds! There specify guidelines for working with the energies of each card to lionize, to honor the energy, and to protect one's self.

In the companion book, each card is devoted to somebody in Ellen's life that for her has a connection to that energy. Each Major Arcana card exists with a black and white image, who the card is devoted to, the card name and number, the associated goddess, what the goddess represents, and what takes place when she appears in a reading.

The mythological figure represented is the Sheela Na Gig, the British Spirit of Warning and Invitation. When this card appears in a reading, the Candidate is recommended to open their eyes, to not see just what they already understand, to launch expectation and judgment, and to allow wisdom to come in unexpected methods.

Each card is provided with a black and white photo, who the card is devoted to, the suit and card number (title and card number for the court cards), the associated goddess, what the goddess represents, and what happens when she appears in a reading. At the end of the book are a number of Dark Goddess Tarot Spreads: a two card Compound and Shadow spread, a 3 card What, Why, and How spread, a two card Dark Goddess spread (thanks to James Wells), and a five card Goddess Be With You spread.
