Goddess Book and/or vs. Workbook
I plan to get Kris Waldherr's the Goddess Tarot deck. Even though I've read the LWB that comes with it is quite substantial, I want to get the book that goes with the deck. In GT's case there seems to be two types of companion books to consider, a book and a workbook.
After checking out the author's website, I get the feeling the workbook is the original intended companion book. It's possible that USG, the publisher, wanted a regular book to include in its deck and book set, so the non-workbook version was created for that purpose. When comparing the two choices, it seems the book is a rehashing of what is in the workbook. However, the workbook has slightly more information, so it seems to be the better value.
Here is the link that raises this book vs. workbook issue and a few other comments worth thinking about: http://www.tarotpassages.com/goddesstarbookrevs.htm
I think I will only get the workbook, but would like to hear what people think, especially those who have both books.
On a side note: I've read that this deck (in keeping with its feminine-based approach) switches the meanings for the Kings and Queens, and also for the Princes and Princesses. Is this true?
I appreciate any comments you have on the issues I've brought up.
