The Triple Goddess Tarot is a non-traditional deck of 33 cards, envisioned as a tool for "living life each day as if I the Goddess", for inspiring imagination, creativity and spiritual growth.
The concept of the Triple Goddess Tarot is from Isha Lerner, a professional astrologer, Tarot consultant and flower essence practitioner, who also created the Power of Flowers and Inner Child Cards. Isha’s personal journey through Goddess mythology is illustrated in these cards by Mara Friedmann.
The Triple Goddess cards honour the Sacred Feminine in her many guises throughout history and mythology: Mother Mary, Isis, Kali, Kwan Yin, Athene, and the Triple Goddess, the three faces of the Goddess, the Maiden, Mother and Crone, all in mystical images that draw you in for contemplation and study. The art is primal, strong with movement and a warm feminine energy. Despite fairly significant outward changes, the mystical core of this deck is Tarotic.
There are 22 major arcana cards:
Traditional Name – Triple Goddess Tarot Name (Goddess archetype)

These 26 cards are collectively known as the Alchemy cards and have a swirling border in purples and a mosaic-like inner border. These cards are a “26 step journey into the mystery and wisdom of the Sacred Feminine”. The other seven cards that make up the balance of the deck are different in style to the Alchemy cards and correspond directly to the seven chakras. The chakra cards can be used with the other cards, or on their own. ( The two types of cards also differ on the backs – they use the same image but the backs of the main Alchemy cards are purple, while the chakra cards are teal.)
The Triple Goddess Tarot book and card set, published by Bear & Co, is also nicely presented in a cardboard box with slipcover. The 248-page companion book outlines the Triple Goddess throughout the ages, and the forms and personification the feminine energy has taken throughout prehistory, agricultural revolution, in fairy tales, in Tarot. Each of the card images is well-supported by the information in the companion book. The Alchemy cards has a quote, traditional name and translation; Alchemy & Transformation: which explains the symbolism and meanings of the elements; Awakening to the Archetype: about the Goddess associated with the card; Everyday Encounters, advice and guidance; Nature’s Healers: the flower entwined in the image and the magical associations, and Your Soul Message: an affirmation to sum up the card. The chakra cards have just a description of the chakra images, chakra attributes, healing essence of the chakra, keywords, and the affirmation.
Previous Tarot knowledge is not at all necessary for these cards, nor is it necessary to use them only for divination. The Triple Goddess Tarot has a strong spiritual and mystical emphasis, and through daily cards or meditation, can also offer wisdom and encouragement for everyday life.
