Did the advent of the written word mark the decline
of holistic thinking and shift the emphasis from the Goddess,
right brain thought, to the Patriarchal, linear thought?
A provocative and compelling book. ~Salome

Motherpeace : A Way to the Goddess Through Myth, Art, and Tarot
by Vicki Noble

This is a favorite tarot deck. I attended a lecture at Judy Chicago's Birth Project back in the early 80's and Vicki Noble was presenting her, yet-to-be-published, Motherpeace work. We each chose a card...I remember mine was The Emperor and I was not happy with the book's interpretation (patriarchy..) It's quite slanted towards the feminine side and so not a deck for all. But appropriate for this category. ~Salome
