Motherpeace Round Tarot
This is one of those decks you either really like or really dislike. Unfortunately, I'm in the "dislike" category. I have several friends who rave about this deck, but I just never cared for it. The deck is definately geared towards women (to the exclusion of men in my opinion) of a Goddess-based faith. The art is done in a primitive style, which I don't care for either, but that's a matter of personal taste.
A couple of the cards have been renamed: the hermit is called the crone and the hanged man is the hanged one. Justice is VIII and strength is XI. Suits are wands, cups, swords and discs. The cards are round, so reversals (if you read them) tend to occur in degrees. I like this aspect of the cards, that things aren't just upright or reversed, but are varying degrees to the left or right.
The cards are about 4.5 inches in diameter, and are round. I find them hard to shuffle, and handle in general. I'm told there is a smaller version, which I would probably prefer over this large deck that I have. The thickness of the cards is just right in my opinion, and I feel they will be durable.
Although I don't like the deck, I feel I can recommend it for women on a Goddess-based path (which I am not), especially if they like art in a primitive style. I also recommend the deck for collectors. Beginners may have a hard time with the degrees of reversals. If you do get the deck, I recommend the book with it.
