The Goddess Inspiration Oracle:
As always with Waldherr’s work, I am in awe! . . . I found it interesting that Waldherr defines oracles as being both the vehicle for the message, and the message itself. Waldherr sees her messages as offering creative solutions, Whereas one of her previous works, “The Goddess Tarot”, offered wisdom through the venue of Tarot, Waldherr see the “Goddess Inspiration Oracle” as opening this knowledge to those who do not necessarily work with Tarot . . . Incredible artistic talent, combined with a bent for serious research, is a trademark for Kris Waldherr!

I think even though there are some cards that have grown up themes I would still highly recommend this deck for teens. My daughter just turned 15 and I think she would enjoy the ‘girl power’ energy of this all goddess oracle with the meanings printed right on the card. I found the Goddess Inspiration Oracle to be both educational and inspirational. . . . I give the Goddess Inspiration Oracle a thumbs up for content, multicultural, the feminine divine and art.”

The Lover's Path: An Illustrated Novel:
"Complete with gilded edges and marbled pages, Kris Waldherr's The Lover's Path plunges readers into the mysterious and exhilarating world of sixteenth-century Venice . . . the artistry of the book is delightful—passionate love letters are placed in tiny enevelopes, fantastical drawings accompany the stories from the journal, and brilliant tarot-card-like imagery flashes across each page. The Lover's Path is an easy read and a visual adventure."
—Women in the Arts, the Magazine of the National Museum of Women in the Arts
"With this illustrated novel, Waldherr has spun a wondrous story spilling over with mythological figures, with tarot cards and personal letters. You're pulled into a vortex of a 16th century romance centered on Filamena Ziani, the younger sister of a famous courtesan in Venice . . . Filamena becomes a singer, a composer and independent, which was unheard of for women of that ime. Waldherr, who based her novel on a real-life courtesan, also created the illustrations for her book."
—The Alburquerque Journal
"Voluptuous illustration and enthralling narrative are accompanied by fun-to-open letters, maps, and tarot cards in this extraordinary testament to the strength of the feminine spirit."
—WNBC/B(u)y the Book
"The novel is gorgeous, every inch a work of art. Bound in hardcover with gilded page edges, it's heavily illustrated in the manner of the period. On the inside, an occasional page has a pocket or fold-out pasted in. Interspersed within Filamena's fictional fiabla, are reminders of storied tales of the past. Filamena's relating in her own words where following the lover's path leads her has a mythical aura . . . So well is the whole thing rendered that it all has the ring of truth."

"The Lover’s Path Tarot comes to us from the creator of the Goddess Tarot, Kris Waldherr, and while the highly acclaimed Goddess Tarot is a tribute to the talented painter and storyteller, Waldherr outdid her own formidable reputation with this latest. She had to be immersed in the creative artists’ “zone” every minute of the 10 years it took to create The Lover’s Path Tarot. My head can’t stop saying, “how wonderful!” and my heart echoes, “how beautiful!” when I look at these cards. I can’t help myself -- I am in book-lover’s ecstasy, too, over the find of a new “Precious” for my substantial hoard . . .

Persephone and the Pomegranate:
"Waldherr's Pre-Raphaelite characters play out their drama against a vivid sword-and-sorcery landscape. . . .

The dramatic oil paintings are matched by a quality of myth and magic in the prose."
—The New York Times Book Review
"A beautifully done retelling of the major mother-daughter myth."
