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

A guide to Motherpeace tarot cards, a tarot deck created in the 1970s inspired by the Goddess movement and second-wave feminism. For over a decade, Motherpeace has been an inspiration and oracle for women all over the world. Motherpeace recovers the positive, nurturing peace-oriented values of prepatriarchal times, and brilliantly combines art, history, mythology, folklore, philosophy, and comparative religion with an informed spiritual and feminist perspective. Vicki Noble challenges us to celebrate our ancient peaceful heritage and to reclaim our right as a people to a life without war. The book is a vision of hope and transformation, made even more powerful by the vibrant pictorial images of the seventy-eight Motherpeace tarot cards. Motherpeace shows how traditional myths and symbols can provide ideas and images for understanding the meaning and power of the Goddess for women and men today. “The Motherpeace tarot has been a wise and loving oracle. A clear mirror, also, that always shows the truest face.” —Alice Walker, Pulitzer prize–winning author of The Color Purple
