Mystical Reviews: Tarot of the Pagan Cats.

Hi everyone ♥ Welcome to my latest series, Mystical Reviews. I'll be posting Tarot & Oracle deck reviews under this label.

My first review will be Tarot of the Pagan Cats by Lo Scarabeo. I purchased this lovely deck last summer when I was searching for a new deck online. My cats are a very important part of my life so it just made sense that I needed a Tarot deck with kitties on it!

I decided to purchase the mini version of this deck as I only have one other mini version [the Hanson-Roberts]. This deck arrived in a tiny box with a wee booklet explaining the meanings. Generally all Tarot interpretations are the same but I keep every booklet regardless. This particular booklet has two spreads created specifically for this deck. The box was really cute but I had no use for it. The deck fit perfectly in a little organza bag.

The cards themselves are beautiful and good quality. One of my favourite details is the trail of wee kitty paw prints that border the cards. The deck is based off the popular Rider-Waite deck in terms of symbolism and names, which makes it an easy deck for a beginner to transition to. There are a few details that make it more cat-specific; The Hanged Man is caught in a set of curtains, and the 7 of Chalices shows all the material desires a cat could want.

This deck has quickly become one of my favourites. I give it 5 out of 5 stars - and not just because I'm a cat lover! The miniature version is a comfortable size, the cards are beautifully illustrated and not too flimsy, and the familiar imagery makes them easy to read for novices and experienced readers alike. I highly recommend this lovely deck for anyone who's looking to expand their collection.

Blessings,
Faula.
