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.

Advice for Family Relationships this Holiday Season

Some of you might be feeling anxious before some of the major winter holidays. This reading is made to help you either have fun, repair relationships, or just get through it.

Next year my goal is to cover all the major holidays about a week before they happen. ~ Also! This is my first time doing a reading like this, so feedback is greatly appreciated <3

how to pick a card and disclaimers

Pile 1

What brings you together?

Death - A unique, and probably painful, situation has forced you and the rest of your family together. I feel like everyone is pretty rattled by what is going on, whatever it is. Yet I also feel a sense of gratitude everyone has too. Gratitude that at least you all have each other. Imagine doing this alone! This moment is causing you all to reevaluate how you guys think of your relationships with each other, since your family maybe never expected to have this level of collective support in each other. Healing relationships is a long process and a 2-way street, and grief is hard too. Don't put too many expectations on how your relationship with your family (and their relationships with each other) will grow in the future. Maybe the assholes will grow up, maybe they'll become assholes again, who knows? Live in the moment and just hold each other now.

What pulls you apart?

Lovers reversed - There are some major trust issues you have with your family, and your family has with each other. This is probably for a good / understandable reason, whatever it may be. Respect your feelings, but don't jump to conclusions about whatever someone might do or say. Allow them a chance to act differently without hoping or expecting they will. If someone is going into a regular toxic pattern of behavior, do not take the bait. You can excuse yourself from the situation, pretend you didn't hear them and talk to someone else, try to redirect to a neutral subject matter, or grey rock them. I sense that you, and other family members, don't know if you all love each other. You might find yourself asking if it's obligation or genuine care. It's a very difficult thing to live with, and personally I totally relate to that - I've asked that same question almost my whole life.

What needs your attention?

8 of Swords reversed - It's time for you to release yourself from your believed role in this family. You do not have to keep yourself small. You do not have to abide by any role or box others have put you in. You're too big for those limitations. You can state what you do and do not accept. If you are an adult, you have control over your life, no one is entitled or allowed to harm you because of whatever justification they claim to have. If you're a minor, you can research legal help and see what you can do if you ever need to do it. Trust your survival instincts, but don't let your regular methods / ole reliable's continue to harm you - let them change with you as you grow. 3 things will give you liberation in your life: boundaries, radical acceptance, and the grey rock method.

Pile 2

What brings you together?

Page of Pentacles - You and your family are brought together by not only your cheerful holiday traditions, but also by some good news or an exciting announcement someone is making. There is some sense of this moment either being the beginning of something, or celebrating the beginning of something. This feels like a pretty solid family dynamic, with everyone having similar values - maybe you're not all in perfect agreement, but there's respect there. A fun activity that you all might enjoy is a nature walk, outdoor scavenger hunt, or making DIY bird feeders (look up how to properly prepare for your local weather and environment, safety practices for outdoor activities, and what food is safe for wildlife). Maybe you now have a reason to start a new family tradition.

What pulls you apart?

6 of Wands reversed - What seems to generally alienate you from your family and/or cause issues between your other family members are ego issues. Someone (maybe you, maybe not), feels insecure very easily, and that's very hard for them to let go of. It's like they NEED to not only correct the moment / embarrassment / faus pax / mistake, but they immediately need EVERYONE to know that they're a good person / actually talented / great and valid. They do a massive over correction. But this makes others literally or internally roll their eyes and say "this shit again?". And now the party is a lot less fun.

What needs your attention?

Justice - Your family seems like the type of family that works out issues and makes sure that life is fair for everyone involved. But that doesn't mean everyone always knows that something is unfair and needs to be addressed. And that doesn't mean that everyone in the family knows that they are already valid in the eyes of everyone else simply because the love them, or at least respect them (I'm mainly thinking about in-laws / people married in, because they come from different family systems). If it's someone else feeling insecure, maybe pull them aside privately and share with them that your family is glad they've joined the family now. You'll probably see them release a big exhale. If you are the one feeling insecure, have a heart to heart with someone there you trust and confess to how you've been feeling. Hopefully either of these heart to hearts happen before a big blow up or embarrassment. Also if you guys play games, make sure to watch out for cheating and hold cheaters accountable to prevent hurt feelings. [example: my grandpa used to hide dominoes up his sleeve and my grandma would scold him for cheating against us grandkids lmao]

Pile 3

This reading got serious so, important notes: 1.) all of my readings are for entertainment purposes only. 2.) you are 100% responsible for all of your decisions. 3.) tarot reading does NOT determine fate; circumstances / energies change all the time. 4.) not every general reading is for you, even if it shows up as a recommended post; if you read pile 3, are very confused, and what I'm saying feels like completely new information, then this reading probably isn't for you. 5.) this is YOUR life; follow YOUR intuition; lead your life with love first and foremost

What brings you together?

Ace of Wands reversed - There is a shared concern about another family member who plays an important role in the family (I'm thinking an elderly person - but this is a general reading so they might not be elderly, but function as the matriarch / patriarch). This person's light in their eyes is gone and they feel like a different person. I keep getting the image of a widower / widow, and they were widowed within the last 1-2 years, but maybe even 5 years. This might feel jarring to your family to see because people assumed they were fine. This assumption could've happened for many reasons: the person is insisting they're fine and pushing people away, family members kept putting off showing up for them because it would bring up feelings they weren't ready to face in themselves, or they had to work / had other responsibilities they couldn't turn away from that take up a lot of their life, or there's an assumption someone else would take care of this person / the problem. And now, everyone is starting to see the consequences of that. This person is more lonely than you know, or than they feel safe to admit. They might be pretending everything is fine because they think they can't or shouldn't burden others, but they feel hollow and empty, and very depressed. They haven't experienced joy in a very long time, and maybe haven't laughed in a long time either. They're not broken (no one truly is), they're stronger than you realize, but life's been hard too, and it's hard holding it all together. They want to experience life again, all of its passions, excitements, and joys.

What pulls you apart?

6 of Pentacles - What's causing disagreements and rifts in the family right now is a discovery that this person is spending WAY too much money on people or things they think will bring them joy, contentment, comfort, and love. I think that different family members are having different reactions to this spending, and everyone is frustrated with each other over that. Some are highly upset, some are indifferent, and some think if it's helping this person then what's the harm (all the while ignoring the fact that this person is seeking comfort through these means because they don't know, or think they don't have, a healthy way to fulfill their needs). This spending could be on a religious organization / tithing, a cult, a scammer, a sugar baby, a findom, or OnlyFans. The spending is based in a belief that they are taking care of someone, and they are taking comfort in that.

What needs your attention?

3 of Swords - As painful as it is, a LOVING and PATIENT intervention needs to happen. Maybe not now, but someday (preferably soon). What can absolutely be done right now is telling this person that you see they're in great pain, and ask them to at least not deny it when they're with you. Tell them you're in pain too, and want to be with them because you love them, and want to be here with them. When it's time to have the intervention, make a plan with your family about what to do after the intervention, like plans to regularly visit and/or call, and financial repair. I'm talking on a weekly basis minimum. And hold each other accountable - in the gentle way, not in contempt. Try to get this person to socialize more, like joining clubs, trying new hobbies, going to a senior center, dancing, do a fun makeover / glow up, and dating (so they can see they don't NEED to be giving so much money away in hopes for an ounce of care and attention). Also of course, get them to go to a therapist. On the topic of dating, your family will need to work through their own grief so they don't get angry at this person for dating when they're finally ready. This person is allowed to love again, that doesn't ruin the memory and love they have (and your family has) for a past relationship(s). And to say 2 things in a blunt way that your family members probably need to be told:

1 - Dating and sex is a normal part of life, and it's unfair and cruel to try to control someone against their 100% normal needs and desires. Being old doesn't stop people from being horny. Retirement homes have a lot of rowdy residents. And good for them, they're having fun. 2 - People who live alone and never see friends or family are up to 77% more likely to die. This person's new connections and maybe new romance will literally extend their life, and make their life worth living. So, whoever in your family might have an issue with this person getting out there and finally start having fun can and should be told that it's saving their life - they need to let it go, and handle their own grief - but do support this other person in their grief too, alienating family that are frustrating you is gonna do a lot more harm than good.

I'm giving you guys 2 bonus cards because this was a heavy one.

Nature Meditation deck by Kenya Jackson-Saulters (word-for-word copy from the card)

Hike to Heal: Hiking fosters unity with nature. As we move through the forest, traverse a trail, or summit a peak, our bodies become one with Earth. There are moments when our hearts beat in sync with the crunch of grave underfoot and we feel both vulnerable and strong at the same time. Today as you walk, imagine you are connected to the healing power of Mother Earth. With each step, envision yourself leaving behind what burdens you and picking up the tools that will strengthen and fortify you. In what ways does being connect to Earth in this way heal you?

Affirmators! deck (word-for-word copy from the card)

Love: Love is a many-splendored thing. Today I will notice and appreciate at least three of those splendors. Like the fact that puppies make me feel like a parent. Or the surge of self-congratulation I feel when I sink a three-point trash basket shot on the first try. Of how 'bout the chills I get while singing along to (name of song - you know the one).

[cunning-pope]

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.

Death

11/04/2020 

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. ]

🚫 this post, blog, and message are not for transphobes, homophobes, or racists 🚫

[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.
