The Motherpeace Round Tarot Deck: 78-Card Deck The Motherpeace Round Tarot Deck: 78-Card Deck Contributor(s): Vogel, Karen (Author) --Brand New-- Pub Date: December 29, 2000 EAN: 9780880790635 Copyright Date: 1991 The creators of Motherpeace Tarot have departed from traditional (and often patriarchal) imagery of tarot, and have instead embraced the goddess spirit. The feminist emphasis is balanced with several male figures present in the deck. Motherpeace’s round cards and primitive artwork allow the reader to rely on intuition rather than standard “black and white” meanings. The four suits of the Minor Arcana are Cups; Wands, depicted with African culture; Discs, illustrated with Navajo culture; and Swords, depicted with Greco-Roman imagery. Karen Vogel is a renowned intuitive who is widely known as co-creator of the Motherpeace Tarot deck and as a tarot reader, teacher and writer as well as an extraordinary artist. Karen's creative voice expresses her deep sense of animation and spirit in nature. Karen's art has appeared prominently in a number of well-known performances installations in the Bay Area of California. She is the author of Coyote Tails and the illustrator of Secret of the Missing Crown. Vicki Noble is a radical feminist healer, author, independent scholar and wisdom teacher. After writing Motherpeace Tarot, she has written several books, including Shakti Woman (a handbook for healers) and The Double Goddess (a history of female shamanism). She has developed a powerful ritual healing process, teaches and lectures internationally, and has led tours of women on pilgrimage to sacred Goddess sites around the world. /U.S. Games Systems, Inc. Created by Karen Vogel and Vivki Noble, the Motherpeace Tarot deck combines art, history, mythology, folklore, philosophy, science, astrology and comparative religion with an informed feminist perspective. Cards measure 4 1/2" in diameter. Instr The cards in this extraordinary round tarot deck are gestalt circles of powerful symbols celebrating 30,000 years of women's culture throughout the world. 4 1/2" diameter. Physical Info: 1.19" H x 4.71" L x 4.73" W (0.71 lbs) What Customers Are Saying About Motherpeace Round Tarot Deck The Motherpeace Tarot has been a wise and loving oracle. A clear mirror, also, that constantly shows the truest face. -- Alice Walker, author of The Color Purple Since I bought this deck a few years ago, it has helped me through immense personal growth. Where most other decks are scary and intimidating, this deck is reassuring, validating, honest and deeply wise. As far as the feminist messages in the cards and book, I have found them very much based on love, and the perspective presented has been decidedly useful to me. It is not feminist in the negative sense (i.e. "man-hating"), but rather is feminist in the positive sense (loving, woman empowering). Probably there are people who will be turned off by this strong feminist slant, but for most women, I think it is an asset that they will appreciate. I think that any woman who is looking for a deck that will help her to tune into her own intuition, a deck she can trust with her deepest questions, this is THE deck. Personally, I have not found any other deck that I would trust in the way I trust this deck. It goes to the heart of any question, helping to gain honest, loving perspective, and empowering you to make good decisions. -- Amy Findlay, Amazon I collect tarot decks because I like the art and the idea of a spiritual tool for examining the self. I am not trained to recognize esoteric symbols and so many tarot decks have them that I usually give up in frustration of ever learning what they mean. The only deck that has spoken to me personally and allowed my imagination to come up with multiple interpretations is the Motherpeace deck. I was put off at first by the seeming simplistic artwork, but after using them and playing with them for a couple years, they started to grow on me. Yeah, I know, a couple of years is long in this fast-paced world, but instant attraction isn't always the best sign of a good relationship and the decks I found myself most attracted to ended up being empty vessels. With Motherpeace, for the first time, I felt that I could trust my own interpretive intuition and that alone is more freeing than anything else garnered from tarot work. I love it so much that I'm ordering the mini-Motherpeace to take to work with me. -- A.

The Fool, the Magician, and the Empress from the Motherpeace Tarot, a radical feminist (and round!) tarot deck created by Vicki Noble and Karen Vogel. Originally published 1991

[everythingkeepschanging]

So I recently bought the Motherpeace deck (manufactured in 1981) and it’s LOUD. While channeling messages, I noticed that the same card was coming out for all of the signs: the Daughter of Discs aka the Page of Coins.

Ultimately mastering self sufficiency and not feeling like you NEED anyone or anything in order to accomplish your goals. The shorty in this card went out to the desert to basically “find answers” and focus on personal growth. She spends her days meditating, only drinking water and communing with her ancestors. Her faith and trust in spirit is what guides and protects her. She does not dwell on the “lack” in her life but creates abundance within her mind.

Is it just me or does anyone else feel like this is the process they’re currently going through?? Can definitely blame this past New Moon in Leo opposing Saturn rx in Aquarius. I’ve been telling my clients this is definitely a time to “get right with yourself” before being able to attract the right person to love/build with. If you don’t even know who you are, what you desire, what you NEED, what’s the point in dating? that’s the “elimination of distractions” I’m referring to.

Yes there’s always room for exploration but there’s also a time and place for everything. jumping into a relationship or even dating before you are ready or grounded (or trying to force one that isn’t working) will only lead to poor/no boundaries, resentment etc. It’s about desiring companionship but knowing you don’t NEED it. like they say, it’s always when you’re not looking that the right person comes along. in the mean time, trust that spirit is working it out and simply focus on being the best you.

The tarot deck my mom uses is called MotherPeace, and my dad said I should draw my own version called FatherWar

[coffeewithariadne]

the words were a sort of stirring melody that came on a bleak day

i belonged with its rhythm

Deck: Motherpeace Tarot 

[appleflavoredkitkats]

you did that absolutely incredible art of fundy with the wither rose and i wanted to drop by and tell you JUST how good it is. everyone who’s betrayed him or hurt him in this halo behind his head, him surrounded by rose thorns, your style is just absolutely fantastic. kind of the way you draw reminds me of the motherpeace tarot? idk if you’re into tarot at all but i got similar vibes from your art to that specific deck. anyway. poggers

AAA THIS ASK WAS SO SWEET!!!! like legitimately, this is the sweetest thing i’ve received this week!

i didn’t intend it to be similar to tarot cards, but i am familiar with the aesthetic of it since i’ve tried drawing some before. seeing the similarities of it to tarot is honestly really cool despite it being unintentional KJGKLJG.

AND YESS!! u noticed the details!! there’s a lot of stuff in that that could range from obscure to recognizable, and i’m glad u can recognize the more obscure ones!! (still waiting for people to recognize the pet war references tho since i don’t think much people see it)

BUT THANK U FOR THIS ASK!! again, this is very sweet and rlly made my day!! /pos /p /gen

[fishklok]

ILU!! C3X!

ILU2!!

I did have a tarot-heavy upbringing lol (my mom uses motherpeace but i use the standard rider waite deck).  and yeah, boots!  those are the closest to the ones i own, although i haven’t worn them in months due to quarentine.  and i have no idea what that last drink is lol.  some kind of juice?  i like the rainbow

[reynita9]

I’ve only ever personally used a rider waite tarot deck but I am ready to get my second deck now. My favorite decks in imagery are Pamela Coleman-Smith’s Rider Waite deck, the Motherpeace deck by Karen Vogel and Vicki Noble, Daughter of the Moon deck by Ffiona Morgan , mexica deck (artist unknown), and Ghetto Tarot by Alice Smeets

Solawigemüse abholen mit dem Fahrrad. Ich genieße die Fahrt rüber nach Kreuzberg die U1 Strecke entlang und wieder zurück. 

Karlis Freundin Lena holt uns zu einem Spaziergang ab. Wir setzen uns im Gleisdreieckpark auf eine Decke ins Gras. Wechselwetter, ständiges An- und Ausziehen. Gute Gespräche über Beziehungen, freie Liebe, Bisexualität, sich ausprobieren wollen. Ich mag Lena und sie mag mich. 

Abends macht Karli eine sehr leckere Gazpacho. 

Ich habe angefangen, mal wieder das Motherpeace Tarotdeck zu benutzen und mag das sehr. 

Vor dem Einschlafen lese ich im Vorwort zu Orlando über Virginia Wolf und ihre Kreise.

🗝🖤🔮Wednesday Pick-A-Card Reveals🔮🖤🗝

If you haven't had a chance to yet, take a moment to quiet your mind, maybe make some tea, take a breath, and choose a card that calls to you. (Original post is linked here.)

[ Image Description: Three round tarot cards laid out facedown on a green cloth. The card backs are gold/yellow with a ring of circles around one central circle, the Motherpeace deck, and each card has a single wrapped tea bag above it. The cards are labeled 1, 2, and 3 from left to right and the teas are Yogi Tea's kava stess relief, Numi's white rose, and Stash's maple apple cider, respectively. End ID. ]

And when you're ready...

Here are your messages...

1 | Crone, reversed: You've been in a period of isolation and seclusion, taking some needed time to yourself, but even with important work like self discovery, eventually we need to come up for air. You've been metaphorically reading by candlelight for a long while now, focused inward and perhaps on parts of your psyche that are difficult or even painful to work with, and it's time to take a break and get some fresh air, recalibrate your perspective and step back for a while. You may feel like it's time to get serious about your life, but pause a moment to really consider what you're committing to and maybe seek counsel with trusted loved ones at this time as well. You're not quite ready to make a final decision: especially with the retrograde it's probably best to make anything final until the Sagittarius new moon. Has your personal growth gone to difficult but empowering to plain old dark and burdensome? It's okay to step away for a while. Time with loved ones this holiday season will be good for you. Don't be afraid of losing progress if you shift focus for a while. 

[ Image Description: A round tarot card laid on a green cloth with a Yogi Tea kava stess relief tea bag next to it. The card is upside down and depicts a crone at a midnight crossroads, listening to the night wind, hand cupped to ear. In the distance, a star goddess shoots across the sky above a mountain range. End ID. ]

2 | Daughter of Wands, tilted to the left: You or someone near you can rally the troops and incite action. This daughter is industrious and creative, determined almost to a fault. They can be impulsive but bring lots of fun energy to a situation or community. Rocked to the left, they apply restraint to their usual full-steam-ahead recklessness, having learned how to tone it down from past mistakes. This is someone who is often moving or fidgeting, can often blurt out what's on their mind, and tends to want stimulation rather than a quiet night in. They are grounded, though, and don't fling themselves quite so wildly into the wind like they might have in their youth. They've learned how to be free and spontaneous without being destructive, respecting their inner fire by letting it burn without allowing it to blaze out of control, allowing them to gain trust and inspire others to act towards passion projects. If this person is you, don't let past mistakes stamp out your spark. Be cautious but not reserved, your exuberant nature brings joy and inspiration. If this is someone you know, it is likely someone you've had to keep a distance from because they can get into trouble, but are maturing now into a more grounded person without losing their fiery, fun nature. 

[ Image Description: A round tarot card laid on a green cloth with a Numi's white rose tea bag next to it.  The card is tilted to the left and depicts a figure dancing across a plain of red clay, holding aloft a wheel and a bundle of herbs. There is a cave dwelling, some trees, and a large mountain in the background, as well as a white unicorn and a flock of storks. End ID. ]

3 | Fool, tilted to the right: You're ready to take on a new journey, but be careful not to jump the gun. Would it be better to wait? Are you so full of expectations for this path that you're not allowing it to unfold, or maybe even misinterpreting what's right in front of you? If you're expecting a rough road, you're going to feel every little bump like it's a boulder, but likewise, if you're expecting clear skies and not checking to see what's actually on the horizon, you may find yourself in the middle of a downpour without any protection. It's okay to be excited and ready to dive in head first, to have wishful thinking about the future, and it's even okay to be anxious and worry. However, don't let what you think distort what you actually experience. Slow down and take a breath, take assessment of where you really are and what possibilities are most likely available, then move on from there enjoying the journey rather than rushing to a destination. Whether this is school, career, or a relationship, let it happen, accept and experience it for what it is. Be patient and don't let yourself look at this part of your life like a transition from one scene to the next, but its own independent experience. 

[ Image Description: A round tarot card laid on a green cloth with a Stash's maple apple cider tea bag next to it. The card is rocked to the right and depicts a figure in a handstand at the edge of a river. A cat walks beside them and upriver is a crocodile. There are lilies in the water and mushrooms on the far bank. A vulture watches the figure from a perch and in the distance the sun rises from behind a mountain, from which the river flows. End ID. ]

[banji-effect]

Per my last post... I just tried this tarot idea and I like it!

The bottom card (I use the Motherpeace deck) was the Daughter of Wands, turned 90 degrees to the right: active, impassioned, wanting to rush off and test her strength and do new things. The top card was the Hanged One, 90 degrees to the left: stasis, immobility, but also a sense of ritual calm and serene forbearance.

My takeaway: if the bottom card is a source of fear or buried pain and the top an insight with which to regard it, maybe it’s my impatience at the course my life is taking/worry that I’m not doing enough, hustling enough, producing enough... and a calling to step back and take a moment to rest and be still.

Earlier today I was thinking to myself how much it annoys me that, by the time I get home from work in the evenings, I’ve lost the desire to paint/write/do other creative things because I’m so tired/overstimulated from a day spent around other people. I was also thinking the other day that at this rate it’ll take at least another month to finish the triptych. But... there really isn’t any rush, I’m making it for myself--perhaps I should relax and just let her come to me as she wants.
