BOOK REVIEWS - EVERYDAY GODDESS TAROT

Stephanie Kilgore, Changing Hands Bookstore
I recently received this kit in the mail as part of the Advance Access program. I was thrilled when I received it. I took my time in opening this package as I had a feeling it was going to be special. I was not disappointed. Upon opening the package, I felt a warm glow from the mailer. When I took out the package and began to open it, that feeling continued. The artwork and detail on these cards is incredible. I admit to being a little jaded about decks of this sort. So many times it seems to be the same message repeated over with a slight variation on the art. These cards however are fresh and delightful. They are truly a celebration of the Goddess in each of us! They do not give the message that any one spiritual path is more correct than any other but the message is to enjoy who you are inside and out. That each of us have a little of the Divine in us and can use that better ourselves and those around us. The book does a great job of describing and explaining the cards and their meanings so that anyone, beginner or advanced user, can understand.

Other reviewers here have written eloquently and in detail about this lushly beautiful deck... Affirmations for the Everyday Goddess is one of the most beautifully produced deck sets I have ever had the pleasure to own and work with. The quality of independently produced decks can often be woefully uneven despite generally commanding higher prices than their mass-produced counterparts. Somehow Pamela Wells, who oversaw every aspect of the creation and production of Affirmations, has managed to create a far better than usual product despite its exceedingly (and almost bafflingly) low price tag. The bottom line, if you have concerns about this set's quality, you need not worry. It's a beauty! Fantastic for personal use (I pull a card every morning) or for giving to anyone you care about, I heartily recommend Affirmations for the Everyday Goddess. Given its content, exquisite quality and affordability, I plan to keep a few sets on hand for spur of the moment gifts.

Pamela combines her artwork with a crystal-clear understanding of the essence of the archetypes. Her paintings along with the intricate descriptions, exercise and affirmations, have moved me deeply.

Pamela Well’s Everyday Goddess Wisdom Cards and Spiritual Guidebook are superb! She has truly made embodiment of the goddess available to the modern woman. Her artwork on the Wisdom Cards portrays modern women as goddess, surrounded in magical mother earth scenes – all infused with an ancient connection to the power of the feminine. The companion Spiritual Guidebook is a treasure. In there, Pamela offers provocative questions for contemplation that invite you deeper into your personal exploration, quotes from modern and ancient teachers, and exercises to that serve to protect, guide and awaken you into deeper consciousness of your life. Pamela writes with the wisdom of a sage and indeed is the embodiment of the modern goddess!

I was very impressed with this deck/book set. I think it is an outstanding deck for those interested in positive, spiritual affirmations. It would be a wonderful deck to help select a positive affirmation at the beginning of each day. It would also be a fantastic choice for a meditation tool. . . As a tarot deck, I found the cards to speak to me strongly on a spiritual level. I can recommend the deck if you are a woman (or read for women) with soulful inquiries. . . FULL REVIEW

"This is definitely a deck worth checking out! More than a deck, more than a series of affirmations – it is a tool of empowerment for anyone that chooses to work with it." FULL REVIEW

Jeanne Leiter, Temple of the Goddess May 2009 Newsletter Book Review
Have you always wanted to have a collector's edition? These first edition, twenty-one Tarot cards (major arcana only) are sturdy and large (3.75" x 5.5"). They come in a box that looks beautifully indestructible. The size is not the only thing that is large. They're large in scope. Gold-framed artistic pictures of modern day Goddesses, showing the beauty of Asian, Black, and Caucasian women wearing the most gorgeous gowns this side of a Parisian runway. Wells feels the cards ". . . portray women as powerful, self-confident and strong everyday goddesses. The models are mothers, teachers, artists, therapists, students, lawyers, businesswomen and friends." They walk through forests or flowers, swim through water, and fly with angel wings. They walk beside tigers, snakes, and wolves, all are one with the Universe. One holds the Earth gently in her hand. Wells is equally adept at painting humans, animals, and landscape. Even the backs are beautiful, showing a leopard calmly peering through a forest of large, green leaves. The deck is worth the price for the art alone. CONTINUED
