Marissa Pederson at Llewellyn recently asked me if I would have a
look at the new Goddess Inspiration Oracle By Kris Waldherr due
out this September. If you remember Kris did the Goddess Tarot
which was based on her previous work The Book of Goddesses.
I was delighted to have a sneak peek. Today the box from Llewellyn
arrived and I was excited to jump right in and have a look. The
deck comes in a very nice little box with the book and it's own
golden organza drawstring bag for the cards. The little soft cover
book fits neatly inside the box it all seems very much like something
that could be taken along in a purse.
One may wonder why a deck creator would be interesting in reviewing
someone else's deck. I wouldn't exactly call myself a deck collector
either but I am curious about other people's work and I find there is
always something new to learn. Kris's new deck did not disappoint me
it was full of goddesses that I recognized but it also had goddesses
I had not even heard of too. The Goddess Inspiration Oracle is very
multicultural which I always like and it was also something very user
friendly. It is perfect for a one card pull. This deck is something
that I would use as there are times when I don't want to use my own
decks especially for my own personal readings, cuz let's face it using
my own deck can get to be, just too much "me"sometimes.
I think even though there are some cards that have grown up themes I
would still highly recommend this deck for teens. My daughter just
turned 15 and I think she would enjoy the 'girl power' energy of
this all goddess oracle with the meanings printed right on the card.
I found the Goddess Inspiration Oracle to be both educational and
inspirational.
People who like a deck that is a traditional deck size will
appreciate this approximately 2.5"x4.5"shuffling size. The
card stock is strong but flexible. However people who like borderless
wordless cards will not appreciate this deck. But then when you are
in the card business you can never please everyone.
I give the Goddess Inspiration Oracle a thumbs up for content,
multicultural,the feminine divine and art.
