Mystical Cats Tarot

A grey and white cat with blue eyes is standing on a gingko tree branch, looking at the sky. The cat is surrounded by a whitish halo that reminds me of the outer part of a galaxy, especially in the tail area. The night time sky takes up a good half of the card. Many stars are visible and among them, the Leo constellation is present, with a lion drawn over its emplacement. Colors : Dark blue According to the book, this card is about cosmic consciousness. It means that we must become aware of the ''[…] meaning and intention in the pattern of our lives.'' The biggest advice this card has for us is to ''have faith that everything in your life is unfolding exactly…

What looks like a silver Ocicat or Bengal cat is facing us, their left paw stepping forward, all claws visible. They seem to be in hunting mode. The large white glow and aqua coloring of their eyes is due to the tapetum lucidum, an eye component allowing to see better in the dark. It is night time, the sky is a very dark grey color and the full moon is clearly visible among several stars. The Moon is surrounded by a white halo. The cat seems to be in an open area with no tree close to them, only sparse grass and bioluminescent (glow in the dark) mushrooms. In front of the cat, the ground seems to be made of plain soil and rocks. A few insects are present. Some are ar…

We can see five cats sunbathing on a veranda, with three lying on the ground and two located on the railing. They are all of different colors and I cannot identify any breed in particular. In clockwise fashion, from top left : an orange tabby, a black and white, a calico, another orange tabby and a grey cat. The ground seems to be made of yellow marble and has a large yellow and orange Sun drawn in the middle. Right behind, we can see a gold statue of the Goddess Sekhmet standing on a red pedestal. Behind the statue we can see the beige railing delimiting the area until it comes to an end where a yellow marble wall starts. We can see a rounded doorless entrance, with ano…

What looks like a Chartreux is lying on a tufted round patchwork cushion, their head turned upwards. Right above them we can see the ghostly silhouette of a cat, golden yellow in color and outlined by white 'sparkles'. We only see its face and both front paws. Their eyes are green and they seem to be wearing a head crown. A bright spot of light marks the place where a pendant would lie. The floor is made of white marble. Colors : The golden yellow catches the attention a lot. Without the help of the book, I would have been at a loss here. I learned there that the golden cat represents the Cat Goddess, who ''has blessed us and told us we are worthy of praise [……

A black and white cat is looking outside, sitting by an arched window. The window and the visible portion of the wall around it are made of white marble stone. The arch of the window has a cinquefoil pattern (5 lobes) and we can see moldings representing each clan in between each cusp. From left to right, there is a seashell (Sea clan), a flower (Earth clan), a bird (Air clan) and a flame (Fire clan). Through the window, there is a vast view of the landscape. Closer to us, there is a large grassy area with some scattered trees. Right behind there is a forest, with a body of water on the left and a bridge passing over it. Somewhere on the right, there is a building resem…

The Ace of Fire is a close up of a wrought iron gate with a large fire burning behind it. The gate is made of symmetrical patterns and has a heater shield emblem in the center with a cat paw print in it. The fire is a bright orange color, with some yellow and brown. There is a little bit of green at the bottom. Color : Orange Many qualifiers can be used to describe the kind of cats the Fire Clan is composed of. As the author put is, for them, the fire is ''a symbol of the light that blazes within, the courageous and noble cat spirit that strives for excellence.'' Here are some examples of cats you might encounter while visiting this Clan : skilled warriors (wh…

The Ace of Sea shows a wire-wrapped piece of sea glass sitting on the seashore. The sea glass is aqua in color and has a squarish shape with eroded edges. There is a paw print covering most of its surface. Colorful beads of different shapes and small seashells ornate the wire. A few other seashells lie on the shore close to the sea glass piece. The shore is covered with pale yellow sand and several small stones. The tide comes close enough to barely touch the seaglass piece. The water is bright blue and some bubbly foam is visible at the end of the wave. Color : Pastel feel The author describes the cats of the Sea Clan as ''emotional, moody, deep and wise.''…

The Ace of Sky shows a yellow swallowtail gonfalon (suspended heraldic banner of medieval origin) showing a clawed cat paw print, dark blue in color. It's suspended in the air by 2 pink ropes, but we can't see what it's attached to. A bright blue sky is visible all around the flag, along with many floating white clouds. It gives the impression that the flag is situated very high, above the clouds level. A few birds silhouettes are discernable in the distance. It appears to be somewhat windy, since the flag, especially its lower ends, is waving. Color : The blue and yellow equally stand out to me. According to the author, ''[t]he Sky Clan was formed from ex…

The Ace of Earth shows a close up of an oak tree. The focus is on the large trunk, on which a large cat paw print is engraved. Part of the tree's foliage is visible at the top and strong roots are visible at the bottom. On the grassy area around the base of the tree, there are a bunch of mushrooms, fallen leaves (belonging to a different tree), a few acorns, a broken branch, a few big rocks and leafy plants. Behind the tree, a varied landscape can be seen, including some tall grass, more green grass, earthy ground and everything being mostly plain areas with the beginning of a mound on the right. Colors : Green and brown equally and harmoniously distributed. T…

This thread will be used to talk about the relationships between multiple cards. Their similarities/differences, continuity of an event, comparison between suits, etc. I will start with a comparison between the 4 Aces. The 4 Clans relate to one of the elements and that element is visible on each card : -Flames for the Fire element on the Ace of Fire -Wave for the Water element on the Ace of Sea -Wind for the Air element on the Ace of Sky -Vegetation for the Earth element on the Ace of Earth The emblem of the Fire Clan has the shape of a heater shield and the one for the Sky Clan is exhibited on a gonfalon banner. Both show a heraldic inspiration and the ten…

An orange tabby cat is sitting on a doorstep, her back facing us. The arched double doors are open wide towards the inside. They seem to be made of wood and have metal hinges and handles decorated with flame designs. The handles have a salamander-like shape. The wall is made of brownish grey stone. The ground, inside and outside, is made of white square tiles. Behind the cat there are 2 low steps. Behind them, there are 2 lit candles, one on the left and one on the right. There might be other candles outside, as we can see a yellow glow close to the ground on the left and right of the cat. It also seems to be reflected on the cat's body. Other than that, not much is v…

2 cats are standing nose to nose in front of a lightly eroded cast stone fountain. The one on the left has short brown hair and the one on the right is a shorthaired calico. They are standing on a pale beige ground and behind them and the fountain, there are 2 arched openings in a beige wall (probably an adobe wall, made from sand and other material). Through the openings, we can see a calm body of water, the beginning of a grassy cliff on the right and a blue sky filled with white clouds. Colors : The warm beige and brown get the attention, but the coolness of the blue and grey in the center doesn't go unnoticed. In the book, the author explains that this ca…

A black cat is standing on a spot of bare ground, his eyes closed, nose up and mouth open. He seem to either be at the top of a hill or at the edge of a cliff. On each side of him, a yellow-orange gonfalon with the Sky Clan's emblem is planted in the ground. The flags' fabric is quite badly torn at the bottom. In front of him, in the front plan of the card, we can see grass getting taller and denser the further away we go from the top/edge of the hill/cliff. Behind the cat, we can see a large area of pink something. It could be low clouds with the rising/setting Sun reflecting on them. Or it could be a body of water, again with Sun reflecting on it. I personally think…

A tortoiseshell cat with yellow eyes is lying on the ground with 2 apples resting on her head, one on top of the other. The biggest apple is red and the smallest is yellow. Behind her we can see part of an apple tree covered in yellow and orange leaves and full of deep red apples which are mostly growing in pairs. Also behind the cat, on the horizon line, we can see 2 other trees with a yellow and orange foliage. On the beige ground, all around the cat, we can see many orange dead leaves. In the background, the sky appears to be pale blue. Colors : Orange In tarot numerology, 2s are about balance, duality and change. This cat perfectly demonstrates the 'bala…

A white cat with green eyes is standing with her hindlegs flexed, as if she was about to jump. She's looking up towards a very bright source of light which we can't see from our point of view. The background of the card appears as varied shades of dark grey, as the light doesn't reach further than a delimitated spot, in the middle of which the cat is standing. A tomoe symbol, seemingly engraved in the ground, can be seen right under the cat. Each part includes flame patterns. Colors : Very neutral tones (Grey, white, beige) As much as the 2s were about passiveness and waiting, the 3s are about movement and action. Sometimes, when the unknown lies ahead, it's …

2 cats and a young sea lion are lying down next to each other on a big rock. They are located near the seaside and a few other grassy rocks can be seen in the background on the left, with the sea on the right. A small portion of the blue sky can be seen at the top of the card. The 3 animals are looking towards us and appear quite relaxed. The cat on the left seems to be a grey tabby and the cat on the right looks like he's orange with some tabby markings and black paws. The sea lion has a pale brown coat. Colors : Mostly grey, but the presence of green and blue gives off a fresh feel. This card is all about the preciousness of friendship and bonds. By deciding …

3 cats are standing on top of a wall while they are dropping various fragile objects on the ground. A fair amount of debris is already scattered around on both sides of the wall. They are mostly pushing colorful vases, but one of the cats is in the process of making a large clear quartz point crystal fall, while staring at us with a content look on their face. There is an arched opening in the wall, with a wind chime hanging inside. Thick foliage makes up for the lower half of the background, while a blue sky with scattered white clouds covers the upper half of the background. Colors : Very varied. In the cool/neutral range. From what we can see and feel by l…

3 cats are looking at a large beetle on the ground. We can't see their facial expressions, but they seem to be calm and not aggressive or scared. The beetle is mostly green in color, with some gold and red patterns on its back and head. Colors : The vivid green of the beetle catches the attention against the pale grey of the ground and the more toned down colors of the cats. The book tells us that in fact, those cats are cooperating together to make the beetle leave their dwelling without having to hurt it or risking being hurt by it. The author points out that ''[p]roblems that seem insurmontable alone become manageable – and enjoyable – when you work togethe…

Nine cats are sitting in a circle around a fire burning in a golden cylindrical pot. The ground is beige/brown in color and has a smooth appearance. Behind the cats we can see 3 pillars, but I'm not sure if they are supporting anything. The top of the card shows a dark grey night sky with several stars and not a ceiling. Both ends of the pillars and the top lining of the wall are golden in color. In between the pillars we can see part of the wall, made of the same brown material that the pillars are made of. There are 2 medieval tapestries adorning the wall, both with tassels hanging from their sides and green in color. But their images are different, although mirroring e…

We can see 4 cats, all positioned differently, who seem to be interested in a spherical glass prism floating above their heads. One cat is lying on the ground on their side, another one is in a loaf position and is looking away from the prism, one is sitting and looking intently at the prism and the last one is sitting with one paw up and their head raised towards the prism. There is a ray of light directly hitting the prism from above, causing spots of mini-rainbows to reflect everywhere in the room, including on the cats. The background of the card seems to show some part of a beige wall and the ground looks like marble. Colors : Very neutral colors. According…

We can see a black and white cat straddling the trunk of a dead tree, a seemingly sad look displayed on their face and their tail hanging low on their side. They don't seem to notice the unusual spectacle going on behind them. 4 blue lobsters are standing upright, with their claws outstretched in the air. The scene is taking place on a beach at sunrise or sunset and the lobsters are by the seaside and are facing towards the Sun. The sand is of a pale beige color, the sea is calm and dark blue, the horizon line is pink with some orange and yellow and the sky color ranges from pale to dark blue. A few clouds are visible, along with some bright stars. Colors : Lower ha…

A silver tabby with long hair is lying on his side in a lavender field, one of his front paws covering his face. We can see the flowering field spreading far behind him. A black weather vane with a cat design is planted in the middle of the field further behind. It seems to be indicating a West wind. Behind the lavender field, we can see a dense line of trees and thick white and grey clouds hovering right above them. A small portion of a pale blue sky is visible at the top of the card. Colors : Cold tones including a lot of purple. According to the author, this cat decided to take a break from the tumultuous life of the Sky Clan and went to rest in a field of …

An orange and white tabby cat is sitting on the ground with his tail high up. He's staring at us with a piercing look on his face while seemingly guarding a huge pile of various cat toys. The pile is contained inside what looks like an abandoned gazebo. The structure is made of 4 poles topped with a dome, all covered by some climbing plant. In front of the cat, naked ground with some moss can be seen, while we can see a bit more foliage behind the structure he's guarding. Muddy colors can be seen in the background, the greenish grey areas found on both sides could be trees and in the middle, the sky seems to be a pale greenish blue color. Colors : Everything in the …

5 tabby kittens seem to be fighting in a playful manner. 3 are orange and 2 are grey. We can guess they are located outdoors from the presence of tall grass surrounding them. A lotus-shaped fire torch with flames at each of its 5 points can be seen in the back. It seems to be attached to a wall which appears to be brown in this lighting. Colors : Very warm but dark ; a lot of brown. At first glance, this card seems to have aggressive connotations and could be interpreted fairly negatively. But upon closer examination, one might realize a few things. First of all, these are kittens and kittens rarely fight about matters of life and death. They do it for fun, t…

A completely soaked calico cat is standing next to a small hole of water containing five colorful fishes. The area around is rocky and features other holes of water like this one. Below, on the right, the sea is there and we can see the waves crashing against some aligned rocks located close to the bank. On the left, we can see a flight of stairs carved in the rock leading to a gazebo located at the top of a small cliff. There is a lot of foliage growing all around the cliff. The sky is blue and 2 white clouds are visible to us. Colors : Essentially cold and neutral tones. As we could see in some of the previous cards, the Mystical Cats Tarot offers a more po…
