Rating: Summary: The Triple Goddess Tarot - Coming Home Review: Deck Review: The Triple Goddess Tarotauthor: Isha Lerner (with) Tara McKinney, PhD illustrator: Mara Firedman Bear & Company (Inner Traditions) 2002 ISBN #1-879181-94-0 Major Arcana Only Additional Major Arcana cards: Infinite Bliss, Infinite Truth, Infinite Potential, Trinity Additional Chakra Cards: color coded to the seven major chakras: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Aqua, Blue, Purple The Triple Goddess Tarot is best defined by the 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 forward, 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 assignes 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 - Blosomming 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 addendem, 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 depocted 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.

Rating: Summary: The Triple GoddessTarot: The Power of the Major... Review: Isha Lerner is a therapist who has integrated astrology, tarot, fairy tales, and flower-essence therapy into her practice. She has two other decks called 'Inner Child Cards - A Fairy-Tale Tarot' and 'Power of Flowers; An Archetypal Journey Through Nature'. Those of you who are familiar with her 'Inner Child Cards' know her healing technique, of opening the doors of childhood to the adult we have become, is unique and special. 'The Triple Goddess Tarot' presents us with 33 cards illustrated by Mara Friedman and includes a Major Arcana of 22 cards, 4 Alchemy Cards, and 7 Chakra Cards. The deck focuses on the feminine and Goddess spirituality. It approaches from a "What Would the Goddess Do Now" aspect. The Major Arcana cards may be familiar to tarot users, but this version is Goddess focused and feminine in it's aspects. Correspondences are included in the accompanying book for easy reference and transition. The Fool becomes the Fairy Queen, The Chariot is now the Bird Woman. Ms. Lerner explains each card in its traditional meaning and associates it with its transformation and finally her vision of 'Awakening to the Archetype'. She then applies the card to everyday life and how it can be interpreted when drawn in conjunction to her "What Would the Goddess Do Now" readings. The graphics are lovely. Mara Freidman's comment in A Note from the Artist: "Color is Healing! May we awaken to the dream of Love, Harmony, and Beauty!" is expressed throughout the deck. Both of these women have a good grasp of what they wanted to express in these cards and it comes across in both the deck and the book. Ms. Lerner explains very well in her book what she wanted to achieve with this deck and also gives some very good background about where she is coming from in respect to her ideas and designs of this deck. The actual use of this deck is what really matters. Ms. Lerner has several layouts she suggests for use with these cards, and each of them is easy to understand and work with. The Chakra layout is unique in its idea of associating the cards to the individual's Chakra. I did try several of them myself and found they work well and are easy to read. The cards themselves are easy to interpret and can be mastered by both beginners and experienced readers. These cards focus on positive affirmations for your journey through life. It is a very feminine approach to spirituality. They are tools that can confirm life experiences on a personal level and provide possible paths in instances where advice is sought. These are the benchmarks of any good tarot deck.
Rating: Summary: Powerful, Transformational, Exceptionally Well Done.10 Stars Review: Personal alchemy through the gift of new self awareness is what the Triple Goddess will bring into your life. If you are looking for a strong combination of spiritual truth, messages that correspond to your own Divine energy, as well as how to integrate the messages the cards bring to you, then Triple Goddess will not disappoint you. Isha Lerner brings us her profound gifts of vast wisdom that will genuinely help you to connect with the Divine feminine and integrate your highest potentials into your everyday life. This is a powerful tool to help you acknowledge, embrace, and master the Divine within you. Highly recommended from my heart, Barbara Rose, author of If God Was Like Man.
Rating: Summary: A Powerful Deck on Many Levels! Review: The first thing that struck me was the sheer beauty and power of the illustrations. You would not even need a "lwb" to be able to interpret what this deck means. The chakra section is just wonderful on its own, I am just dazzled by the deck! Finally a deck for those of us that just are not drawn to the more traditional types of decks. Bottom line - Buy this deck and have fun!
Rating: Summary: The Triple GoddessTarot: The Power of the Major... Review: This is a wonderful book and cards set for those persons who need to be in touch with their feminine side. I desperately had a need for this set since I had just gone through a very traumatic sexual assault. It helped me to get settled and centered. The artwork is simply Divine and I absolutely love how you related the reflection of the card to different religions accomendating many believers. Thank you so very, very much for your entry into my life.
