Zodiac Goddess Power Deck Review by Rachael Caringella

Here’s the latest review of my new deck by the lovely Rachael Caringella, artist, mystic and oracle.

A Few Comments by Rachael:

“My first impression of the deck was how cool the box was. It folds out into a beautiful informational work of art all of its own.

If you are wondering what foods or herbs are associated with each zodiac sign, this guidebook will tell you! It also features affirmations, gemstones, colors and goddesses associated with each sign… plus so much more.

The artwork on each card is colorful and vibrant in both image and energy. Each card holds such beautiful movement.”

Goddess Energy for the Week Ahead (Zodiac Goddess Power Deck)

Sagittarius Goddess: Artemis (Moon in Sag Sept 21-23)

Artemis, Artemis,
Goddess of the wood
You are bows and arrows, death and birth
Midnight revels and pregnant mirth.
Wild woman, child, hunter of beast,
We find our true self when we dance at your feast.

Artemis is the virgin moon-goddess roaming the forest with her band of nymphs, bearing the bow and quiver, avoiding men and killing any male who looks upon her. She was also known as the many-breasted Artemis of Ephesus, a symbol of fecundity. As the warlike Artemis she is said to have been the special goddess of the Amazons.

Capricorn Goddess: Kuan Yin (Moon in Cap Sept 23-25)

Mercy, compassion, grace,
China’s beloved Goddess chose this place,
To stay and guide enlightened mind,
Call her name and peace you’ll find.

Kuan-Yin is a feminine Bodhisattva, or Buddha-to-be and is the most powerful being in the entire Chinese pantheon and the chief symbol of compassion in the Orient.  Her name translates to “she who hears the weeping world”. By constantly repeating her name, it was said to bring peace and generosity into her worshiper’s lives.

Aquarius Goddess - Ix Chel (Moon in Aquarius Sept 25-27)

The Great Mayan Snake Goddess of water and the Moon,
Guides women in childbirth and those on the loom.

Among the Maya of the Yucatan peninsula, Ix Chel was the name given to the snake-goddess of water and the moon, and of childbirth and weaving. This night-riding goddess spent her energies nursing the women of earth through pregnancy and labor, taking special care of those who visited her sacred island of Cozumel.

Soul Reading Cards for the Week Ahead

Card 1: I call wrinkles god-points and so far I’m winning

Mantra: I accept.

Affirmation: I am proud of who I am, wrinkles and all!

Element: Spirit

Song
To be perfectly honest, 
it’s not the easiest game; 
getting older. 

But each wrinkle simply means 
that you’ve got one more good story to tell. 
Whether it be a sad one or funny one, 
they ALL count. 

But truly, 
you’ll still be fabulous no matter what age 
and like a fine wine, 
you’ll just get tastier over time. 

You will also get to know yourself 
and with this knowing comes wisdom, 
and grace,
and blessings untold.

If this card appears in a reading it’s time to accept who you are in this very moment; no matter your age, weight, health, clothes, hair or yes, even wrinkles! You know, of course, that you are perfect in every way, right? If you or someone you’re close to is feeling ‘old’ and negative about wrinkles please remind them that they or that you ARE winning – you are alive.

In my own life I do the best I can to celebrate my grey hair and even my wrinkles which does require some chutzpah ‘cause it goes entirely against the youth culture we worship. I am not ‘old’ and I forget sometimes that I have wrinkles. But I have learned a thing or two along the way and I honour the wisdom that comes with aging. If we are open to receiving this knowledge and honouring our age by being honest about it, instead of hiding, distorting or carving up our bodies to fit an ideal we don’t believe in, then we are indeed wise souls that have learned a thing or two.

Card 2: Owl Magic (Elfin Ally Oracle Deck)

Keyword: Magick
Meaning: You’re on a spiritual mission so trust the Moon to guide you.
Reversed: You’re stuck and at a standstill with an important decision to make.

Affirmation: I live and breathe magick by moonlight.
Astrology: Moon, Saturn, Pluto
Element: Earth, Water

Medicine: Your dreams foretell the future, so pay attention and be ready to catch them as they come.

Lore: Aglow from the inside, with Moon shining bright, her ally the Owl guides by night.

The Elf Princess’ quiet light called to her Owl, her ally of the night and so she dreamed and foretold the future, past and present and she was respected by all the Elves of the Land who trusted her visions above all else.

How To Bond With Your Oracle Deck and Build a Daily Practice

Since releasing my new Zodiac Goddess Power Deck I’ve had some questions from clients and would like to share them below. I’m sure you’ll find something useful for yourself too!

How to Start a Daily Oracle Practice

Client Question: May I ask for some ideas on how to use them in my daily practice?

My Answer: I like to use them in a psychic or intuitive reading as goddess empowerment cards as though SHE is passing on advice, wisdom, strength based upon Her qualities: her myths, the elements, etc. If you watch my Moonday Soul Reading Blog/Videos you will hear me talk about these goddesses in the deck each week.

p.s. on a daily basis I suggest intuitively pulling an oracle card to see what kind of guidance and strength you'll need for the day ahead. Inside the oracle deck box are printed some poems and myths as well.

If you want further guidance I also have 2 ebooks based upon the oracle cards as well as hard copy books that are part of my Ltd. Edition Set which includes zodiac goddess greeting cards too.

Also, I suggest investigating Goddess myths in more detail as well. Some of my favorite books are:

• Patricia Monaghan:The Book of Goddesses & Heroines Reemergence in the Cultural Mythology of Our Time

• Barbara G. Walker:The Women’s Encyclopedia of Myths and Secrets

• Marija Gimbutas:The Language of the Goddess

• Vicki Noble: Motherpeace Tarot Guidebook

How to Bond With Your Oracle Deck

Client Question: I hear often in the world of tarot/oracle that you need to bond with your decks. Is that something that you would recommend with this deck? And if so, how do I go about doing that?

My Answer: I think bonding is a natural, organic thing that just happens and there is no need to force it or even try to do it ....similar to friendships, they just happen when we spend time with people we care about. If you want more tips about how to bond with a deck, I suggest simply working with the deck and getting to know it by pulling cards for yourself and others and by giving readings too.

Scorpio Goddess ~ Brigid

Brigid’s reign as sacred muse
spans centuries timeless truth
Priestess or nun
tending her fire
Brigid’s power
always inspires.

Brigid is one of the few early goddesses to survive intact through the Christian era. Brigid means ‘bright one’ as symbolized by fire. She is worshiped as a Triple Goddess by the Celtic Irish, called Brigantia in England, Bride in Scotland and Brigandu in Celtic France. In her ancient form as carrier of the cauldron she was ruler of smithcraft, poetry, inspiration, healing and medicine. The Christian Saint Bridget is often invoked as both muse and healer in continuation of her ancient rites and her rituals were preserved for more than 1000 years after she ceased to be called a goddess. Today little is left of the ancient Celtic legends describing her.

Spirit Animal of the Week: Otter (Elfin Ally Oracle Deck)

Keyword: Shimmer
Meaning: Everything is easy and flowing right along.
Reversed: Are you missing the point and feeling left behind?

Affirmation: I am playful.
Astrology: Moon
Element: Water

Medicine: Your playful nature keeps me forever young.

Lore: In her mind's eye she was swept away by the beauty and the joy of Otter, her ally in whose captivating Sea Dance she could get lost, happily, forever.

You are my beloved, my playful friend, my trickster. You keep me a mermaid-at-heart and I dance in the water each time you visit my mind. You bring me joy!
