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!
