The Mother's Wisdom Deck: A 52-Card Inspiration Deck with Guidebook Cards – April 5, 2016

While I have used a variety of divination decks over many years--Tarot, animal wisdom, various medicine decks, angel cards, I Ching, runes, etc.--this beautifully written and illustrated deck and book are refreshingly unique. Using a single card or one of the illustrated spreads, I am provided with remarkable insight and encouragement. It is user friendly, offering rubber-hits-the-road practical assistance for being in choice and strength with the issues of the day. It is titled, The Mother's Wisdom Deck, but I am a middle aged, single man with no children. Yet it has quickly become my counsel of choice for guidance in my daily journey.Today, I pulled the Lakshmi-Abundance card. Weary of the Abundance magical thinking chatter of the past decade, I was curious to see how the authors would present on this topic. I learned more about the essence of abundance than I have read anywhere else on the topic. The reading honors the struggle a mother can sometimes engage with feeling inadequate, a sense of scarcity, guilt and self-reproach. Then it invites me into becoming aware of counting my inner assets and the ability to love. While a mother may not be able to provide "fancy clothes, violin lessons, or private schools," the children can be rich with the gift of my presence, which I can only offer when I recognize my "personal plentitude." It is not about me wanting and trying to increase my abundance, because I am already rich with much to give. I can freely give my "attention, support, goodwill, love." Even without a child tugging on my pant leg, I read and apply these insights of encouragement to be mindful of my mental chatter of fear and lack. From this reading, I set myself to practice throughout the day at every opportunity to offer my "attention, support, goodwill, love." I realize that we are all mothers in this respect. I am giving birth to, rearing, and nurturing myself and my communities of friends, coworkers, and encounters of every description in the moments of today. This book and deck provide me with guidance for daily practice with awakening my heart and the hearts of others.The book and cards are written and illustrated by three women who have young children, and it is presented in reference to that context. In this respect, I will gift it to every mother of young children I know. At the same time, I will give it to fathers, parents of teenagers and young adults, grandparents, and people who may one day become parents. And yes, people like me, who will never be parents, will find rich counsel and encouragement in this universal tool for living consciously. I am in deep gratitude to these three mothers for authoring and drawing these amazing windows into how I can live fully in the moments of relating to myself and others.

This deck is a for runner of their divine feminine deck. I like as it speaks to the struggles and tensions of mothering young children .

Beautiful set of Mother Wisdom cards! Comes in a conventional box which holds the cards themselves, along with the book explaining in detail the card. Each page gives a detailed and thourough description of the meaning of the card and o was shocked just how accurate mine seem to be daily. Motherhood brings much busyness and as I take a moment each day to pick a card for the day, it really allows me the time to reflect on my journey through motherhood and soak up the words of wisdoms given in this deck.

This is the most beautiful, meaningful deck I’ve ever explored.

Beautiful deck with amazing illustrations and a fantastic guidebook. Highly recommend for all mothers!

I've never been into tarot or card reading, until being in my 3rd pregnancy I wanted to get in touch with my spiritual side since it's been one of my main focuses lately. I wanted a way for me to connect with my unborn baby, along with my two daughters, spiritually, and use Spirit as guidance. This led me to this precious deck, which not only brought me back to my Higher Self, but also helped me tap into parts of me I was neglecting (faith, peace, creativity) since I've been one tired mama lately. I love this deck...I'll be getting it for all of my mom & soon to be mom friends.

There aren't many decks out there that have a focus on motherhood, so I was very interested to see this deck. Ultimately it's a nice take on a motherhood oracle deck, but it doesn't quite fill the void for me.Many of the images are so beautiful that they bring tears to my eyes. That said, the images tend to be the most moving for me when they focus directly on the mother/child relationship. Many of the cards are very subtle in how they relate to motherhood; I was really looking for something more overt from this deck. At times I don't feel a connection to motherhood in the image at all, and have to bust out the book to get what's going on - and even then the connection still feels very subtle and tenuous.I can't stand the packaging, which splits the card into two halves to fit in the book. The book is wonderful - very detailed - but I would have preferred a small box that fit the deck as one stack for long-term storage.

I absolutely love this deck. It features women of different colors. As a Black mom, I appreciate seeing Black women and other women of color represented. This is my first deck of any kind and I am highly impressed. It is helpful in bringing balance to myself as both a woman and a mother. Excellent deck.

Ok I don't even know how I came upon this deck. I just found it out of nowhere and placed an order on a whim.I have now in my hands a beautiful beautiful set full of love and true wisdom. I really do feel like I called it in somehow. And I am so so blown away and grateful.The messages are mostly about flow and acceptance and compassion. The feminine principle. And it makes so much sense.The artwork is colorful and childlike. But some images do have nudity. Although it feels really pure.The guidebook is big and beautifully illustrated . I haven't read the descriptions yet. But each of them is elaborate and runs at least a page long.This is a miracle I know. I feel really blessed.Update.The book has deep insights. It's been giving me the chills. The Cave is what I received for the week. And it aligned perfectly with what I received from A Yogic Path earlier. Bhuvaneshwari. The goddess of Space and Infinite Possibilities.The two cards combined with the Queen of Pentacles and then the Golden Palace and Slow and Steady from the Enchanted Map! Turtle too. From this deck earlier. Everything has meshed together and hit this profound message home.This deck and book set are straight from the realm of spirit. I am extremely grateful. And God bless you too.(Accidentally ordered 2 copies and I decided I loved them "two" much to return!)

Meravigliose!! Davvero stupende e utili. Non vedo l'ora di studiare le diverse stesure e dignificati...Nonostante il possente libro annesso sia interamente in inglese sono felicissima lo stesso...farò la traduzione non importa

I was on the fence about ordering these cards. They were on my wish list but I just wasn't sure. I received an Amazon gift card and decided to order it. This is a beautiful set. Beautiful cards, with a beautiful book to accompany. It has become one of my favourite decks. As a mom with young kids, I like the messages and the energy of the cards. Very much recommend!

The words and the illustration are such a source of inspiration ! I'm feeling so happy each time I read a new card. Thank you to the authors for their beautiful contribution to the mother wisdom.

Happened across this by accident (synchronicity?) whilst searching for another oracle - so glad I did, what a lovely addition to my collection of Tarot and Oracles, etc. Beautiful colours, lovely pictures, a fantastic quality box-case, a surprisingly 'wise' and concise book - already done a couple of one card draws and both extremely accurate. Nice sized cards, easy to shuffle (not for small hands, though) and would make a perfect gift - thanks Universe for helping me discover this! Recommended.
