Fun Fact

Motherpeace is a landmark deck, fearlessly dismantling conventional Tarot structures to offer a profoundly intuitive and feminist path. Its round, primal art isn't for those who prefer strict, traditional symbolism or linear interpretation; it demands an open mind and a willingness to trust personal insight. For seekers ready to embrace a goddess-centric worldview and a fluid, multicultural spiritual journey, this deck remains an indispensable and empowering tool in the esoteric landscape.

📝 Description: The Motherpeace Round Tarot Deck: 78-Card Deck

The creators of Motherpeace Tarot have departed from traditional (and often patriarchal) imagery of tarot, and have instead embraced the goddess spirit. The feminist emphasis is balanced with several male figures present in the deck. Motherpeace's round cards and primitive artwork allow the reader to rely on intuition rather than standard "black and white" meanings. The four suits of the Minor Arcana are Cups; Wands, depicted with African culture; Discs, illustrated with Navajo culture; and Swords, depicted with Greco-Roman imagery. Includes 78 round card and 34-page booklet. Karen Vogel is a renowned intuitive who is widely known as co-creator of the Motherpeace Tarot deck and as a tarot reader, teacher and writer as well as an extraordinary artist. Karen's creative voice expresses her deep sense of animation and spirit in nature. Karen's art has appeared prominently in a number of well-known performances installations in the Bay Area of California. She is the author of Coyote Tails and the illustrator of Secret of the Missing Crown. Vicki Noble is a radical feminist healer, author, independent scholar and wisdom teacher. After writing Motherpeace Tarot, she has written several books, including Shakti Woman (a handbook for healers) and The Double Goddess (a history of female shamanism). She has developed a powerful ritual healing process, teaches and lectures internationally, and has led tours of women on pilgrimage to sacred Goddess sites around the world.

Occult literature desk

While this deck offers a refreshing departure from conventional tarot by centering on a powerful goddess spirit, it may not suit readers who prefer the structured, symbolic rigidity of the Rider-Waite-Smith tradition. The round format and primal artistic style prioritize intuitive connection over detailed narrative clarity, which might frustrate those accustomed to precise, linear interpretations. Additionally, individuals seeking a strictly historical or academic approach to esotericism may find the blend of diverse cultural motifs less authentic. However, for those open to a multifaceted journey into self-discovery, the integration of varied cultural symbols provides a rich, empowering tool that challenges traditional gender dynamics in divination practices.

❓ Frequently asked questions

The circular design eliminates fixed upright or reversed orientations, promoting a more fluid, intuitive interpretation where every aspect of the card is considered for its holistic message, encouraging a less rigid understanding of its meaning.

While unconventional, its emphasis on intuition can be liberating for newcomers. The accompanying booklet provides guidance, but an open mind and willingness to trust your inner voice are more crucial than prior Tarot experience.
