Fun fact
Noble succeeds in transforming the Motherpeace deck from a beautiful image set into a functional spiritual engine. The rituals are grounded, inclusive, and deeply resonant with Goddess-centered theology. However, readers seeking traditional, Kabbalistic, or Hermetic tarot theory will find little here. This is not a book of occult mechanics, but of devotional practice. It remains a cornerstone text for those prioritizing feminine, multicultural, and communal approaches to divination, standing firmly in the lineage of 1970s feminist spirituality.

Depicting people of color, older women, children, animals, and balanced roles for men and women, the Motherpeace deck embraces images from ancient cultures and contemporary tribal peoples to convey the fundamental principles of cooperation, relatedness, egalitarianism, and ecstatic communion. Rituals and Practices with the Motherpeace Tarot offers a deep spiritual practice that taps into and manifests the divine feminine through ritual readings, rites of passage, daily meditative practice, and seasonal celebration. Vicki Noble teaches how to use the imagery of the Motherpeace deck to read the past, present, and future; invoke good health on all planes; nurture healthy relationships; receive divine guidance during critical decision-making; and celebrate sacred holidays.

Esoterica Books editorial team
Occult literature desk
This comprehensive guide successfully bridges the gap between tarot study and active ritual work, offering over twenty distinct practices for manifesting feminine divine energy. Noble’s approach is inviting and accessible, making it a strong resource for those focused on women’s spirituality and healing. However, readers seeking traditional, rigid tarot structures or male-centric esoteric frameworks may find the content too loose or exclusionary. It does not suit those who prefer detached, purely analytical cartomancy without emotional or ritualistic engagement. The emphasis on cooperation and multicultural imagery is a strength for its target audience but limits its appeal to broader, conventional occult circles.
