Review of "Goddess on the Go" and "Tell-Me Tarot"

Using tarot and other inspirational cards is a great way to focus on personal serenity and general spiritual development. However, learning the meanings of the cards can take weeks, months, and even years to master. The good news is there are two decks that resolve the learning curve without reducing the integrity of such cards - "Goddess on the Go" and "Tell-Me Tarot." These are both issued by U.S. Games Systems, Inc.

List price: $12.95

ISBN: 978-1-57281-592-6

"Goddess on the Go" is smaller than even a pack of traditional playing cards but is fully packed with both beautiful art and writing. Each card has an original painting of a woman as well as a related inspirational saying. For example, one of the "Goddess on the Go" cards features a beautiful image of a woman meditating as she sits upon a tree trunk and gazes at another tree, and the saying "I am centered with my Divine self."

These cards are easy to transport and give a quick inspirational pick-me-up when the day gets rough or tiring. The small booklet enclosed in "Goddess on the Go" is loaded with useful spiritual information about how to use the affirmations in the deck as your own personal form of word magic to reprogram any old negative messages still running like a broken record through your head.

Overall, this deck is highly recommended for those looking for quick, beautiful, and affordable feminine power and inspiration.

Most Tarot decks come with mini booklets and often really require thick books to decipher the meanings of each cards. Not so with "Tell-Me Tarot," which offers a few cards with basic spreads and instructions. Each of the actual Tarot cards has a brief meaning and a sign of whether it is a positive, negative, or neutral message.

The integrity of the Tarot is preserved with authentic illustrations that can appeal to adults as well as mature children who are interested in this form of divination but do not know how to interpret cards. The illustrations and explanations are clear and uncluttered. One of the cards, Ten of Cups, shows a positive meaning of happiness. Its definition is as follows: "Fulfillment of all your spiritual and emotion aspirations. Excellent relationship and a fruitful life."

These decks are often available at less than the list price, but even at full price is well-worth the investment. With the "Tell-Me Tarot," any interested person can start reading the cards right away and looking more deeply into their life without a major time or financial investment required. Overall, this deck is highly recommended due to its simple yet thorough design.
