Having purrfected the art of having nine lives, the witchy cat familiar is the perfect figure to lead us through our tarot reading, imparting wisdom and guidance. The Witch’s Cat Tarot combines the enigmatic allure of feline wisdom and the ancient symbolism of the tarot, with a twist of 21st century fun, offering a unique and powerful tool for exploring the mysteries of life.

Wednesday Spread: Curious Cats Spread, Witch's Cat Tarot

Happy Wednesday, all! We're working with the Witch's Cat Tarot deck from Watkins, a cute and fluffy deck with surprising depth. Now, the LWB doesn't include any spreads, so I've designed one that I hope will show off the deck to its' best advantage! I've included the positions and meanings at the end if you'd like to use the spread - I'd love to know how it works for you!

Wednesday Spread: Interview spread, Witch's Cat Tarot

Happy Wednesday, all! Today we're interviewing a deck that just might be my favourite of the year. The Witch's Cat Tarot from Watkins Publishing may look cute and fluffy, but there's a lot of depth in these cards.

Overview: The Witch's Cat Tarot Deck

The cutest witch deck you’ll use all year! 🐾 The Witch’s Cat Tarot from Watkins is a sweet celebration of our feline friends, with soft anime-inspired art and gentle, cheerful colours that make every card a little delight. I can’t wait to dive in and see what magic it has in store!

First Impressions: Witch's Cat Tarot

Cue the awws! I’ve just opened the Witch’s Cat Tarot from Watkins, and my first thought? Cute. The two-piece box already feels rich and inviting.

The artwork is soft and sweet - almost anime, but gentler - and the palette is gorgeous: subdued but cheerful oranges, minty greens, soft blues, and gentle purples. Each card feels like a tiny pocket of joy.

The Death card immediately caught my eye - or rather, Nine Lives, as it’s renamed here. A cat surrounded by the spirits of its past lives - whimsical and thoughtful.

The cards are standard tarot size, glossy, smooth, flexible, and sturdy, with plain edges. They shuffle easily and feel nice in the hand.

The guidebook is included (small print, but very readable) and gives lovely insights into the art, even if it doesn’t include spreads.

Overall, the deck feels friendly and maybe even sweet - a cozy little deck to reach for for everyday pulls. That said, the many renamed cards - Majors, court cards, and suits - could be tricky for beginners.

I’ll be diving a bit deeper with the spreads next - and trust me, you’ll want to stick around for the interview spread; it’s got some surprises in store!
