Maze TeaDidikai I might point out that were any of the Domari Deities I work with on that deck- I would have far more issue with it than I do. With what little I remember reading of your faith, I don't find that too surprising. Random people that can claim no (okay, so legal probably isn't the best word here) "word Maze can't remember this early in the morning" reason to be aware/messing with/looking at your deities aren't really accepted, correct? (Sorta) Closed Religion versus World Myth Stuff That Most People Have At Least Vaguely Heard Of, and all. Metagenetic and Closed Cultures are the concepts you're grasping at.
But there is more to it as well.
The deck in question to me doesn't do a whole lot to present the deity as an individual.
Now, in my deck, certain individuals I know personally do make an appearence- but that is because 1) I am the one reading the cards and 2) The sum total of my experiences with said individuals makes for a very powerful message within the card.

It definitly presents the various Goddesses from a Mythological and (probably soft-polytheistic) Archtypical perspective.

phoenix shadowwolf BlueRoseTorn Is that a typo, or what the card says? 'Cause...I'm confused (what else is new?). the author of the cards took some liberties and created new names for some of the cards, hence why Power is in front of Emperor. i'm suprised that the author used Gwennhwyfar...and rather unnerved...
Yeah the use of the Goddesses and not really Goddesses is a little odd. To be honest I got the cards a while ago because I liked the pictures. The cards ended up being my favorited deck because the readings are accurate, however the little infos they have with the Goddesses are pretty much wrong or too vague to be helpful, which of course got me to think that perhaps the whole deck could be considered offensive. Hence the question.

We're not questioning the validity of the deck. AFAIC the deck images should just reflect the archetypes they represent. Anything that can encompass them will work. We're just commenting on the use of mythohistorical people in the context of Gods.
