This deck caught my eye for it’s round, rather than rectangular, cards, and it’s multiculturalness.

The deck was evidently created by feminists who have indeed created a feministic deck, and it would have been multicultural if not for it’s being anti white men.

The booklet, written by Vicky Noble, repeatedly refers to a peaceful and idealistic matriarchial culture shared by all the people of all colours around the world that was crushed and opressed by white and monotheistic patriarchial invaders. This is supposedly supported by archeological findings, to which no references are given in the booklet.

The “Us = opressed multicultural womyn Vs. Them = evil white men” is shown in various places :

* The Son of Sword is a white man and a greedy murderer.

* The Emperor card is described in the booklet thus :

“symbolyzing dominion and dictatorship, the Emperor is the sky god, the boss, the patriarch using the intellect to accomplish his goals and force to carry out his demands. He represents the dangers of unrestrained power and private ownership : Zeus the angry thunder god and jehovah the jealus father.”

Has the emperor *no* positive sides ?

* The Hierophant card features evil men enslaving women. A friendly coloured man as Shaman could have been portrayed instead, and the choice tells something about the creators’ intentions.

* The devil is a white man enslaving women and coloured men.

* The Sun card features a black man and women of all colours, but not a white man.

* The World card feautres several women, but not a single man.

As a white man who was raised in a Judaistic culture but is not anything like the Emperor, Hierophant, or Devil of this deck I find this deck objectionable, a good example of feminism in it’s worst, and I will not – indeed can not – use it.

The booklet has a few introductory pages with the feministic tones I mention above, meanings for each card, a short section on numerology, and an original spread.

The cards are of good quality material, but a bit hard to shuffle, possibly due to their shape.

Though the earth tones make some of the cards look a little dead, the art is colourful, beautiful, and original – it’s unlike any other deck I’ve seen.

I would have liked the deck a lot, if not for it’s anti white men attitude.

I was just in a used book store and picked up a copy of this deck. Loved the fact that it was round, I have several round decks and enjoy working with them. Then I got home and went through the artwork . . . it is VERY much a feminist deck. The artwork is really nothing to write home about, it’s nice but nothing like say The Tarot of Dreams, of the Alchemical Tarot, but it does have a few nice ideas. My favorite part is the little explanation card that says that it includes two lovers cards for those of different sexual persuasions. Of course the two cards are a M/F and a F/F. Now I’m a gay male and take no offence at most cards being M/F in the decks I have. I understand the balance the card has like that, but for this deck to kind pride itself on being all about mulit-cultural and happy joy lets all get along..yea. . if you happen to be a woman. NONE of the court cards feature males on them so I guess that means that only women will be left in this world. I was so offended by this deck I actually tossed it out in the trash. I’m glad I didn’t pay more then $[...] to find out that there are still feminist gay women out there that can’t even acknowledge a man let alone a fellow gay who is a man. Think about that when you want a deck, do you really want that kind of energy in a deck you read with? If you do great, all I’m saying is give the natural balance of yin AND yang a thought.

Vicki Noble’s Motherpeace Tarot is the best interpretation of the Tarot I have ever explored. The art work of the cards is excellent, as well.
