WOMEN's STUDIES/RELIGION
TO recover the positive, nurturing, peace-oriented values Of prepatri-
archal times, Motherpeace brilliantly combines art, history, mythology,
folklore, philosophy, science, astrology, and comparative religion with
an informed spiritual,/feminist perspective. Vicki Noble challenges us
to accept, rather than ignore, our ancient peaceful heritage and to
reclaim our right as a people to a life without war. With this as its goal,
the book takes the form not Of a polemic, but of a story of many
strands woven around the striking pictorial structure of all seventy-
eight original Motherpeace Tarot images.
"The Goddess is buried in the depths of the collective and personal
unconscious," Noble points out. "Any system of thought or practice
that aims at unlocking the unconscious will eventually cause her to be
seen." Using our expanding knowledge of ancient Goddess-worship,
and visualization techniques embodied in the Tarot, the author brings
to light suppressed dimensions of our Western religious and psycho-
logical heritage, showing how traditional myths and symbols can pro-
vide ideas and images for understanding the meaning and power of
the Goddess for women and men today.
Vicki Noble is an author, artist,
and teacher of the Tarot and yoga.
She is also involved in feminist/
spiritual healing communities.
The mother Of two teenage
daughters, she lives in Berkeley,
California.
