Card of the Day....The Goddess Tarot, by Kris Waldherr
I've not used this deck at all yet, so this will be a good learning experience for me, and hopefully for others. I'll use the short description in the book for each card.
Today's card:
Princess of Staves
"The Princess of Staves, a fiery haired young woman, is as stalwart as the rocks surrounding her. She is an inspiration to others to live passionately without compromise."

Re: Card of the Day....The Goddess Tarot
 Thanks Gaia!
Today's card:
Two of Swords.
An impasse is met. The woman has blindfolded herself so she can better look within. Surrounded by lotuses, water flows behind her, symbolizing the confusing emotions she has rejected for now.

Six of Cups
Pulled by the moon's gravity, the tide has risen and flooded around six cups. They are filled with flowers as an offering to Venus, symbolizing the rejuvinating aspect of the Divine Feminine.

Re: Card of the Day....The Goddess Tarot
Two of swords:
Meanings: Peaceful truce. Balance attained, but eventually issues will have to be confronted.
Reversed: Discomfort with a decision that was made. Overreliance on intellect, leaving
emotions unconsidered. Uncomfortable relationship.
6 of cups:
Meanings: Harmonious home. Children and childhood memories. Longing for the sweetness
and innocence of the past. Reversed: Need to incorporate the past—and perhaps
painful memories—into the present.

XI-Strength
Oya, the Yoruba goddess of the Niger River, is considered a patroness of female leadership and strength. Because of this, women will often ask her for the right words to gain power.
Meanings: The strength to create peace between opposing forces. These forces may be inside you or personified in a situation. Tame them: you have the strenth!
Reversed: Discord. Imbalance. Valuing lower energies over the higher.
This is the only deck I've seen so far that has switched the Strength card and Justice card as in the Thoth deck.

I-Magic
The great Egyptian fertility goddess Isis is a potent symbol of the alchemic transformation suggested by this card. She alone was the possessor of the secret name of Ra, the Egyptian ruling god, giving her unlimited magickal powers.
Meanings: A growing awareness of the magick within yourself. A yearning to grow beyond percieved limitations. You are able to transform your life through the strength of your originality and power-all you need do is own it. Renewed creativity and vigor.
Reversed: A need to control. Secrecy.
