HUGE
These cards are MASSIVE. if you have dinky wee hands like me (I wear a ring size 1, yes, ONE), they are very difficult to shuffle and hold.If you have monster hands like my son, these cards look like bridge-sized cards. I think monster hands are better suited to this deck.Size aside, they are lovely, sturdy cards that should wear well. Maybe it's that massive size thing, so not so aside, yeah?The art is nicely done and I appreciate the name of the deity and a prime attribute being on the face of the card.This is especially true since I'm not going to use them as oracles. I am using them as a teaching tool to explore the different pantheons and deities, and the art and information on the face helps with my goals.So brava! Good cards.(I took off a star because they are SO HUGE, but if you like big cards, don't let that stop you from loving them.)

Love this deck!
There's a lot of reviews here saying that they don't like this deck, but I absolutely love it! The cards are a bit big, but they're bendy which makes it easy to shuffle and really helps to counteract the size. The art is beautiful and I love that the guidebook is comprehensive in terms of what the cards mean and how to work with each goddess. I'm looking forward to getting the companion gods and titans deck soon as well!

Pretty good deck
I agree with some of the other reviews.. a lot of the depictions of the Goddesses were a little white washed and not of the true ethnicity origins of the Goddesses. Card stock is on par with other decks. Lillith story couldâve had the original story, and not so much her Hebrew biblical one. Sad not to see Medusa as well. But super informational on most fronts.. just wish it wasnât so white washed.

The package was shipped out ASAP, and I got it in two days. However, I bought this deck because I loved the Isis Oracle (same artist as the Goddesses and Sirens Oracle). I loved the art, and ceremonies in that deck. I haven't gone through every card yet, but I am disappointed the author didn't go into the more ancient origins of some of the Goddesses. Lilith started off as a fertility Goddess and was twisted and later borrowed by the Hebrews for the biblical version of Adam's first wife. The author only mentions her in the context of the biblical story which misses out on her true origins of being subverted and twisted. It misses the point as to WHY Lilith became a power symbol for women reclaiming their power, because Lilith was one of the first Goddess to be destroyed and rediscovered in her truest form. I am also sad to not see Medusa I (many decks miss out on her), who was an ancient Goddess that predated the Greeks, and her story also was horribly twisted by a Patriarchal society. I am mostly giving this a three because the art simply isn't as good the Isis oracle. Also HOLY GODDESS the hands are HUGE on most of these characters. (I had higher expectations because of this deck). But more so the three stars is because the printing in the book was crooked, and some of the cards the borders are horridly uneven (someone fell asleep at the quality check window). As far as the card stock goes, I am an avid tarot collector and the card stock seems normal to all of my other decks (I have about 40 different decks), so I am not sure why there a bunch of reviews complaining about the card stock? Unless they switched it after those reviews? I do like the authors spells and the fact that she has the shadow side of the Goddesses. But I just don't feel the art really represents the cultures the Goddess originated from. Like Amateratsu looks like like a white chick in clothes that don't reflect Japanese or Shintosim very well . My favorite Goddess Oracle to date is by Amy Sophia Marashinsky, so if collectors are looking for some deeper art, I recommend that one. I also bought this deck with the Gods and Titan's deck, and look forward to using it with this and my other oracles.

On the fence
I need to try these awhile before a concrete rating can be given. They arrivedflawlessly.. package was safe and secure. They seem to incl many obscure goddesses.. I'll edit a better opinion after I usethen a few times. The art is very nice!

Beautiful deck, but Not great quality cards.
I absolutely adore these cards the images are amazing the way they present the goddesses fiercely! Love the images and the guidebook my only problem is the cards are not good quality at all, they have chipped and ruined not had them for very long so thatâs really disappointing, if it wasnât for the quality Iâd give this deck a 5 stars. đ

Wanted for long time, some prints disappointed
I love the artwork and have wanted this set for years so was pleased to see it on Amazon and at half price. Mostly delighted but on some of the cards the artwork is VERY blurred and out of focus which is a shame because others are super sharp. Apart from that great set

Pleasantly surprised with how much I like the deck
I bought both "Gods & Titans" and "Goddesses & Sirens". It's worth mentioning that this is the US edition with two additional cards in each deck and new, improved backs. I know people complain about the cardstock but I don't mind it. It's not as thick as Blue Angel but still laminated enough to withstand a lot of shuffling. Can't complain about the quality really. As for the deck itself, it's really well-composed, the guidebook by Stacey Demarco is excellent! With meditations, invocations, prayers to each god/goddess it feels like a well thought-out book that is not shallow and woowoo but actually meaningful for the most part. I recommend it maybe not so much for divination as for periodical inspiration, altar work, devotional work, magick, transgression, ritual etc. I thought I would mind the "superhero movie" style imagery but I have to admit I actually love the vibe of the images. Goddessess are a bit more repetitive than Gods but it's still sensible and makes you think of the deities in a new way. Even an earth goddess of fertility can be badass, after all.
