Isha Lerner is a therapist who has integrated astrology, tarot, fairy tales, and flower-essence therapy into her practice. She has two other decks called ‘Inner Child Cards – A Fairy-Tale Tarot’ and ‘Power of Flowers; An Archetypal Journey Through Nature’.
Those of you who are familiar with her ‘Inner Child Cards’ know her healing technique, of opening the doors of childhood to the adult we have become, is unique and special.
‘The Triple Goddess Tarot’ presents us with 33 cards illustrated by Mara Friedman and includes a Major Arcana of 22 cards, 4 Alchemy Cards, and 7 Chakra Cards. The deck focuses on the feminine and Goddess spirituality. It approaches from a “What Would the Goddess Do Now” aspect.
The Major Arcana cards may be familiar to tarot users, but this version is Goddess focused and feminine in it’s aspects. Correspondences are included in the accompanying book for easy reference and transition. The Fool becomes the Fairy Queen, The Chariot is now the Bird Woman. Ms. Lerner explains each card in its traditional meaning and associates it with its transformation and finally her vision of ‘Awakening to the Archetype’. She then applies the card to everyday life and how it can be interpreted when drawn in conjunction to her “What Would the Goddess Do Now” readings.
The graphics are lovely. Mara Freidman’s comment in A Note from the Artist: “Color is Healing! May we awaken to the dream of Love, Harmony, and Beauty!” is expressed throughout the deck.
Both of these women have a good grasp of what they wanted to express in these cards and it comes across in both the deck and the book. Ms. Lerner explains very well in her book what she wanted to achieve with this deck and also gives some very good background about where she is coming from in respect to her ideas and designs of this deck.
The actual use of this deck is what really matters. Ms. Lerner has several layouts she suggests for use with these cards, and each of them is easy to understand and work with. The Chakra layout is unique in its idea of associating the cards to the individual's Chakra. I did try several of them myself and found they work well and are easy to read. The cards themselves are easy to interpret and can be mastered by both beginners and experienced readers.
These cards focus on positive affirmations for your journey through life. It is a very feminine approach to spirituality. They are tools that can confirm life experiences on a personal level and provide possible paths in instances where advice is sought. These are the benchmarks of any good tarot deck.
