three
ladies that collaborated on this project: they have
named it the Triple Goddess Tarot: The Power Of
The
Major Arcana, Chakra Healing and the Divine
Feminine.
In her foreword, Tarot author/teacher Vicki Noble
terms
the Triple Goddess Tarot a "synergistic oracle".
She
acknowledges Isha Lerner as more storyteller than
academic in
her presentation of history, mythology
and Goddess
spirituality. I find it a combination of both
- one that works
for me.
The gist of this book/deck may be well
represented by
this line from Isha Lerner: "What would life be
like if I
lived each day as if I were the Goddess?"
From there
she has gone on to do some serious self work
that
resulted in a wonderful sharing of information through
this
deck.
The following are the titles (energies) that this
deck
assigned to the 22 Alchemical cards:
0 Fool - Flying Into Spring
1 Magician - The Song Of Creation
2 High Priestess - Sanctuary
3 Empress - Fullness Of Life
4 Emperor - Path of Balance
5 Hierophant - Blossoming Spirit
6 The Lovers - Open Heart
7 The Chariot - The Journey Home
8 Strength - Strength
9 Hermit - Ancestors
10 Wheel Of Fortune - Womb of Potential
11 Justice - Tree Of Life
12 The Hanged Man - Flame Of Surrender
13 Death - Passage
14 Temperance - Seated Angel Flying
15 The Devil - Karmic Imprints
16 The Tower - Kundalini Rising
17 The Star - Initiation
18 The Moon - Birth Of The Moon
19 The Sun - Dancing With The Sun
20 Judgment - Alchemy
21 The World - Awakened Aphrodite
The aim of the Triple Goddess
Tarot is integration of
body and soul through the use
of archetypal
consciousness of the 26 major arcana
cards
(representing spirit) and the 7 chakra cards
(representing the physical self). One of the things that
was
most impressive about this book was the manner
in which
the archetypal cards and the chakra cards are
used -
which is in combination. They are acknowledged
as
separate systems that work well together.
One of the
suggestions given was to draw the chakra
cards at random, and
place them on the body of the
Seeker. In this manner, a
wonderful color chart is
created showing the chakra system,
any blocks and
where the blocks may be. As an
addendum, it is
suggested that random cards be drawn from
the 26
archteypal cards and placed along side the
chakra
cards. A very nice way to allow the Seeker to see this
is
to take a picture that they may take away with
them.
There are several spreads presented that
facilitate
specific work with these cards:
1. Trinity Rainbow Layout (Alchemical and Chakra cards)
2. The Moon Goddess Layout (Alchemcial cards only)
3. Body, Soul and Spirit Layout (Alchemical and Chakra cards)
4. Seven Chakra Body Mapping (Chakra and Alchemical cards)
5. Soul Message (One card layout)
6. Body Message (One card layout)
7. Earth Attunement (Alchemical cards and Chakra cards)
There is
something very special related to a couple of
these spreads:
the use of the alchemical triangle. Most
of us have
some understanding of the metaphyscial
properties of
the triangle. The first inkling that I had
that there
was a very exciting depth to this was when
I got the
Wheel of Change Tarot (book and deck by
Alexandra
Genetti).
It is probably time to actually talk about the cards,
eh!
OK The cards are 3 1/2" by 5 1/4" - a fairly easy
size to handle. The
backs are lavender in color,
depicting a lotus opening,
with the triple Goddess in the
center. The illustration is
wonderfull well done - but
will show the card in
reversed position before it is
turned over. The 26
alchemical cards show a lavender
border, with an inner
border of gold leaf, and the Goddess
depicted in the
center. The title and the card number are
in small print
at the bottom of the deck.
The seven
Chakra cards are color coded to each chakra,
and show
wonderful depictions of the Goddess in
relation to the
energy depicted. These last seven cards
were an addition
to the original 26 cards, and work well
with
them.
One of my favorite cards is The Chariot, in this deck
titled "The Journey Home". The colors used are a muted
blue and white. We see a white full moon in the upper
left hand side of the card. In the center of the card
we
see the Goddess depicted flying towards the moon,
with hands outstretched. She is accompanied by a dove
to her left and to her right, as well as a dove
overlaid
on her body. The very first thing that I wanted
to do
was to meditate with this card!
I recommend
this deck to anyone that wants to work
with Goddess
energy, anyone who wants to work with
Tarot and the
chakra system, any woman who wants
to explore her own
spiritual path or any reader that
wants to have something
very special to offer to their
clients.
