A good Dianic deck, May 18 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Daughters of the Moon Tarot Deck Color (Cards)
This was the first deck I was really able to use. I'd wanted to use Motherpeace, but the washed out colors and primitive artwork didn't say a word to me. The Daughters of the Moon deck, on the other hand, shouted to me. The colors are vibrant, the pictures evocative, and the theme was totally Dianic. The deck is a departure from the Rider Waite paradigm, so if you've memorized "traditional" card meanings, you'll need to do some relearning to use this deck. I only have two minor complaints about DoM. The first is that the artwork isn't very sophisticated. This didn't bother me at first, but the older I get, the more it does. The second is that there are very few cards with genuinely negative meanings. The few that are negative are drawn in such a way that they suggest possibilities for transformation of that negativity. This makes DoM a great deck for personal readings, but possibly not for straightforward divination. Still, despite those two things, this really is a great women's deck, and I'd highly recommend it for Dianics everywhere.

This is one of my all-time favorite decks, July 31 2001

As a femminist, Dianic, Witch, I find this deck tremendously beautiful and empowering!I reccomend this deck to all Womyn, even though it does have a definete Lesbian slant to it. The mere fact of it being an all-female deck is fabulous! Hmmm...wonder if they have something comparable for Men.
I think this deck could be used very easily for meditation and spellwork as well divination.

Stunningly beautiful, Oct 17 2001

This review is from: Daughters of the Moon Tarot Deck Color (Cards)
I love this deck. I've put away the patriarchcal-oriented decks and have started using this one instead. The artwork has extremly vibrant colors; and I liked the tribal- style paintings. Because the archetypes are not oriented towards dualism, I find that the readings are very positive and healthy for the psyche.The book is a must-buy, since there is no booklet enclosed, and the ordering info. does not make that clear. I don't think the author intended to "male bash", but rather to make readers aware of the nature of dualism, patriarchy, and HOW INGRAINED these are in our culture, and how we accept those viewpoints without being aware of them. This deck communicates the sheer JOY AND POWER of woman-hood, and I would not describe it as being oriented only for lesbians. I think it depicts something that women today need to reclaim: women coming together in celebration and ritual.
I would howevere, have liked to have seen a card for a male/female couple for the lovers which equalled the intensity and beauty of the two female lovers.
If I were to give a tarot deck as a gift, this would be the one I would chose.
Listmania!
