Hi I was at a Metaphysical bookstore yesterday and they had a unopened copy of Rachel Pollack's Shinning Woman deck set. I know it has been reprinted with several changes as the Shinning Tribe. But wondered if anyone had a opinion on the Shinning Woman. Thanks Sam

Here's a couple of reviews that discuss the differences between Shining Woman and Shining Tribe: http://www.tarotpassages.com/shiningtriberev.htm http://www.tarotpassages.com/shiningtribe-lb.htm -- Lee

i think the book is far better on the shining tribe but there are only very minor differences b/t the decks. i could tell only one card had a major difference. if i was you, i'd snap the shining woman up b/c it's OOP and a real classic. the art is quite primitive but rachel pollack's writing stands up to her legendary quality. she redid SW b/c she didn't mean for it to be considered a feminist deck. ST is supposed to take care of that problem. the world card is still shining woman instead of a gender neutral revision.
