New Tarot Deck




As both a cat enthusiast and lover of the tarot, I am always looking for something new and different. My sister Robin saw a beautiful new deck at Barnes & Noble in the New Age section called, "Mystical Cats Tarot" by Lunaea Weatherstone with gorgeous art by Mickie Mueller ...

(A sample of the Major Arcana cards: 0-The Cat, I-Cat Magic, & II-The Priestess)


This deck is a bit different in that it varies slightly from the traditional tarot cards. For example, instead of using the terms Cups, Swords, Wands/Rods, and Pentacles, the suits are actually referred to as "The Cat Clans" which consist of Fire Cats, Sea Cats, Sky Cats, and Earth Cats ...


And, even the names and descriptions of the Major Arcana cards are different as well, including certain names within the individual Minor Arcana themselves i.e. "The Good Kitty" (Judgement), "Consequences" (Justice), "The Floating Cat" (The Hanged Man), and "Grace" (Temperance) ...

The Minor Arcana cards are divided into the following: Ace, King, Queen, Kitten (Page), and Tom (Knight).


Also included in the box set of these cards is a cool instructional book called, "Tales of the Mystical Cat." LOVE this deck and I can't wait to cleanse and consecrate it so that I may begin using them!  ;-)
