Happy Wednesday, all! We're working with the Witch's Cat Tarot deck from Watkins, a cute and fluffy deck with surprising depth.

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!

Deck review: Mindscapes Tarot by John Rice

Windows In, Windows Out

Drawing inspiration from psychology, mythology, and color theory, the hand-painted oil pastel artwork in this unique tarot deck is healing, inspiring, and vibrates with childlike whimsy and natural beauty.

Originally conceived as a majors-only deck and Kickstarted in 2022, Mindscapes Tarot has evolved into a comprehensive journey of self-discovery through all 80 cards.

With the traditional suits renamed to reflect the changing panoramas they feature, the Minor Arcana is made up of Branches (Wands), Tides (Cups), Spires (Swords), and Stones (Pentacles). Each card from Ace through Ten depicts the same scene through the seasons and years, the same place in times of plenty and times of lack.

As you delve into the deck, you'll find yourself immersed in a realm where every stroke of color and form whispers secrets of the subconscious. No matter your skill level, you will be able to get answers from your readings and find authentic, creative solutions to your problems.

Allow each card to become a portal to a world of inner exploration, where the boundaries between myth and reality blur, and the depths of the soul are illuminated. With stunning artwork and profound symbolism, this deck is more than just a tool for divination - it's a catalyst for personal growth and transformation.

Every aspect of our existence can be understood as a passage, an opening, a Door. Love, resentment, friendship, success, failure, birth, death ...
