Cat Tarot: 78 Cards and Guidebook

Product Information

The minor arcana cards are divided into classic suits, but here they use their own, feline symbols. The suit of Wands is entirely dedicated to cat toys - ribbons, fish, balls. The suit of Cups is water and drinking bowls. Swords – sharp claws and teeth of pets. And the Pentacles are food in all its forms. The cat on the Queen of Wands has always been a bit of a mystery. Cats are obviously associated with intuition and psychic ability, so you would probably be much more likely to see one on the Queen of Cups, not the Queen of Wands. And let me tell you, if you're learning symbolism, there is no better place to invest your time than in animals. Animals are the most common groups of symbols you'll see in every method of divination, whether that's Tarot cards, dreams, tea leaves, everything!

I would especially like to note the style of the drawings of Cat Tarot. These are beautiful watercolor illustrations by artist Megan Lynn Kott. She works as a professional designer and illustrator and has been drawing watercolour portraits of cats and other pets for many years. She is madly in love with cats, and at home she has three mischievous pets. The legend goes that King Minos asked for a sign of approval from the God Poseidon and was sent a white bull. Because the bull was so beautiful, he did not sacrifice it to the God, which angered Poseidon. As punishment, Poseidon made the king's wife, Pasiphaë, fall in love with the bull. She mated with the bull, got pregnant and eventually gave birth to the Minotaur, who was born half-man and half-bull.

What do the animals on certain Tarot cards mean? What is the significance behind the animal symbolism of the Tarot? What are the Tarot card animal symbols and their meanings? I often get asked these questions by people who are first learning to read Tarot. A lot of readers have never noticed this, but there appears to be something the King of Pentacles has his foot on. Many people have speculated as to what this thing is, but I suspect that it might be a tortoise. Like the tortoise, the King of Pentacles is associated with achievements, wisdom, and expertise.
