This Assyrian goddess is one of the ancient deities honored by humanity. Her shrines date from the Neolithic
period of the stone age. honored as Queen of heaven, Astarte was thought to rule over stars, who were believed to be the brightly shining spirits of the dead. This connection to death also suggests another function of Astarte as a goddess of war. However, most consider Astarte an early incarnation of Aphrodite, the Greek fertility goddess whose Roman counter part is Venus. As such, Astarte is associated with sexuality and love. One of the symbols for Astarte is a circle surrounding a star, representing the planet Venus.

GODDESS ORACLE

PELE-Volcano, passion, anger,

The Hawaiians believe in a tempestuous goddess named PELE. PELE rules over all kinds of fire, but especially over lava that flows from erupting volcanoes. Famed for her love affairs as well as her temper, PELE often appears to her worshippers in the guise of a woman as beautiful as the moon. Others say she looks as horrible as a hag, with brown flesh as crumpled as course lava. Whichever way the goddess chooses to represent herself, all agree about her fiery temperament and her ability to destroy and create.
The passion of anger has a urgency that can help us better our lives. PELE'S ability to represent herself as
either a wrinkled hag or a seductive young woman suggests that inner turmoil that rage can create in women. It reveals the ugliness and discomfort that women often feel when angered--along with the empowerment that anger can bring.

"Be empowered by anger".

I like to use a 4 card Mildred spread, using the forth as the outcome or future card. I like the way you interpretate the cards MM. Very good.

[Madame Marigold]

Thanks! I do the Mildred deck a lot different than I do any other deck... I do the ??? shuffle sliding them from on hand into the other? Not the bridge version and wait till a "jumper" jumps out of the deck and will use whatever cards "Pop" out for me to do the read with. that's why sometimes there are more than 3.... I figure they have more to say. I might start doing my other decks that way to they are way big for my hands and just "Picking" a card(s) who is to say its the reading is now just "for me" doing them that way? Buy Mildred is different than any other deck though I don't think we can classify any others in with her....

COIN, SPIDER (R), POISON.....

If your finances, wealth, or position in your job or community is being threatened, beware of somewhat strong, toxic feminine energies (R). Do not continue to accept what is harmeful, destructive or toxic for you, cut or remove these circumstances or people (person?) from your life for now. Seeing as how this card (force) is reversed it should be fairly easy to overcome.

[Ouroboros]

I see you are reading reversed cards for Mildred. | never read cards as reversed, I always make sure my cards are mixed carefully and not reversed. Am I weird?

[Elia]

Some don't like to reverse, and some decks don't have a reversed meaning, while there are quite a few decks that have reversed meanings, so my rule of thumb is if the deck has reversed meanings, ill shuffle so I have some in a reversed position, if the deck does not have that option I don't.

I like the reverse though, it can give more of an in depth or a different take on the reading. Some of Ciro's decks have reverse.

[Ouroboros]

I just figure, there are enough cards in a deck that if something bad is going to happen the right card will come up to tell me. Mind you, I don't use too many different decks, only Thoth Deck and Mildred Deck. I don't count the Zombie Deck, and Mildred's is an Oracle Deck.

[Madame Marigold]

hmmm the way I have been picking the cards is as I shuffle I only use those that "jump" and that was the first one that landed as a reversed none of the others have isn't that kinda weird? huh....

GODDESS ORACLE

OGBOINBA-Healing, the future and discontent.

Ogboinba is the daughter of Woyengi, the Nigerian mother goddess. Though Ogboinga possessed magical abilities that enabled her to heal the sick and predict the future, she was not content; Ogboinga yearns to become pregnant, a power she did not possess. Even though she passed through seven kingdoms and risked death to gain this ability, the goddess remained childless.

The story of Ogboinba reminds us of the power of contentment. Despite the many gifts the goddess possessed, she was unable to find happiness within herself. If we spend all our time seeking our desires, we neglect to appreciate all we have now. "Though it is good to desire, sometimes it is better to possess contentment"
