Goddess

The record

This set comes with 52 cards and a 188-page, paperback-size book. The cards are 13.3cm by 9.5cm (5 1/4 by 3 3/4 inches), a bit too big to shuffle comfortably. The back is non-reversible and shows a sibyl holding a bowl with smoke rising from it, all done in shades of grey. Each image has a white border, adding to the feeling of clarity and unclutteredness. Most of the book is taken up with the cards, giving the goddesses in alphabetical order. For each goddess there is a black-and-white image of the card, a poem, a “Mythology” section, a “Meaning of the Card” section, and a “Ritual Suggestion”. I like the poems, but the mythology section for each card is a bit short for my tastes, just a single paragraph. The meaning gives several statements or descriptions of each goddess’ energy and then offers questions to divine that energy in your own life. The best, and longest, section for each card is the ritual suggestion. These are suggested path-workings for each card, and could easily be recorded, or simply read a number of times to cement them in your mind. Occasionally, I felt these path-workings strayed rather far from the image on the card, though staying within the energy of the go
