This Rider-Waite-based tarot celebrates and honors the beautiful and magical black cats. Cleverly incorporating feline characteristics and legend into traditional tarot archetypes, this fanciful deck captures these creatures moving between worlds of reality and fantasy, the mundane and mystical. Disarmingly cute yet unmistakably wise, the black cats encourage you to explore your own animal nature.

The art is so vibrant and beautiful and it pretty much true to the classic ryder waite symbolism (aside for a few of the cards). The trouble I had with it is that there are no descriptions/titles on the cards, just a number and a symbol. This got confusing on the cards that were slightly different from traditional symbolism, but if you know your tarot card numbers you should be fine… I’m still learning, but it’s not that big of a deal. I love the deck and am very glad I purchased it, definitely recommended 🙂

Backs of cards are reversible, showing mirror reflections of a black cat’s head wearing a tiara, with dark blue and grey swirly designs around the heads. (some of which are 3 lobed and look vaguely like a Micky Mouse silhouette, but maybe that’s just my imagination). Cards follow the Rider Waite style, with the four suites being Chalices, Pentacles, Wands, and Swords. There is a spread using six cards, called “the…
