The record
The 78 card "Universal Goddess Tarot" by Maria Caratti (text) and Antonella Platano (illustrations) follows the format of a traditional Tarot deck. The Major Arcana carry traditional titles, with Justice as VIII and Strength as XI. The suits are Wands, Chalices (Cups), Swords and Pentacles. The Court Cards are King, Queen, Knight and Knave. In their introduction to the LWB (Little White Book), Caratti and Platano talk about their journey to connect with other women, in real time and through ancient cultures, traditions and myths.

The LWB presents the cards with the name of the Goddess represented on the card, the culture that she represents, and keywords for the upright position. No scans are used. The information is presented in English, French, German, Spanish and Italian. From the book: "1. The Magician; a grain of wheat, a drop of water, a ray of sun and a breath of life. A magical alchemical combination and the miracle is fulfilled. I am Demeter, the Greek goddess of the fields." "The Goddesses of Chalices: 1.
