I love this deck. Firstly the feel of it is great. The cards are silky smooth and the guilded edge adds a little somethin'. The images are created by various artists and each of them express well the meaning/energy of each card. Doreen Virtue has offered in the little book a divination meaning/message and also some quick possible other meanings then a little about the goddess. It's a great deck for personal interpretation and also if you are wanting to familiarise yourself with different goddesses.
I've had this deck for many many years and it has stood the test of time. I still love to use it.
I love this deck! :) Some of Doreen's decks can be hit or miss. I feel this is a worthy investment if you dig goddesses. This deck is not artistically astute, nor is it filled with in depth goddess wisdom. It's more light hearted....nothing too serious or overtly evocative. I have found much delight with these Oracle cards. I prefer a quick one card draw with this deck. The message is always enough to keep me thoughtful and focused on the intention throughout my day.
I picked up this deck of cards because of the nice colour scheme and well drawn picture on the front. The cards themselves are nice, but some of the picture qualities for the goddesses make it feel cheap when I look at them. The font chosen for the card description is extremely plain and lacks in making me feel special when I read it. The fronts of the cards feel like it was designed on Microsoft word, which I wasn't expecting due to the packaging being very slick and nice.
For that reason I am disappointed and will look for a different deck in the future.
These were my first ever Oracle cards, that I got as a gift from my Mama. ♡ I got them at the same time as my Rider–Waite Tarot deck.
This oracle deck consists of 44 cards with different ’Goddesses’, and the cards are so beautiful with gold foil around the card edges.
Your first tarot deck does not have to be gifted to you, it is just a superstition. I appreciate that I got both my first tarot + oracle decks as gifts though, and I see it more as following an old tradition. ♡
⚠ It might be worth knowing that the creator of these oracle cards including many others, has since 2017 “renounced” her old work. She has had her name removed from many of her past creations, and she doesn’t want them to get sold.
// I got my cards as a gift the year before this, and I didn’t know about it until some years later. Since they were my first oracle cards I still like them. I’m not religious in any way, and I don’t necessarily see the ’Goddesses’ as religious either. I have gotten other oracle cards since that I might use more often, and if I use these I will keep this in mind or inform the person I’m doing a reading for so they can decide themselves if they want them to be used or not.
Another excellent, positive oracle deck with a useful, concise guidebook. Those who are new to cartomancy need not fear using this deck; the basic messages are printed directly on each card. More detailed information, including the cultural background of each portrayed goddess, is found in the guidebook. The book also gives basic information on doing readings, including some optional "spreads" to be used. Well done!
I absolutely love this oracle deck! As the name suggests, it is based on Goddesses. From Celtic to Greek Goddesses, this is a great addition to any divination collection! I highly recommend it!
