About this Deck
Visually, the Tarot of White Cats is a vibrant explosion of color and character. The deck captures a unique "vibe" that is both mystical and approachable. By replacing human figures with elegant white cats, illustrator Severino Baraldi creates a world that feels less intimidating but no less significant. The white cat, a symbol of purity, clairvoyance, and the supernatural, serves as the perfect guide through the archetypal journeys of the tarot. The art style is detailed and expressive, ensuring that every card feels like a story waiting to be told.
Symbolism and Themes
This deck is firmly rooted in the Rider-Waite-Smith system, making it an excellent choice for those who appreciate traditional structure but desire a unique aesthetic. The main themes revolve around intuition, the magic of the everyday, and the balance between playfulness and wisdom. Each card translates familiar symbolism—such as the Magician’s tools or the High Priestess’s veil—into a feline context, where a flick of a tail or a curious gaze adds a new layer of meaning to the reading.
The Creators
Severino Baraldi
An acclaimed Italian illustrator, Severino Baraldi is celebrated for his ability to weave history, fantasy, and spirituality into vibrant visual narratives. In the Tarot of White Cats, Baraldi applies his imaginative style to create a deck that is both accessible and artistically rich. His work is known for its lively energy and emotional depth, making the cards feel alive in the hands of the reader.
Practical Use
The Tarot of White Cats is known for its direct and honest communication style. Readers often find that this deck "talks" to them in a clear, uncomplicated way, much like the candid nature of a cat. It is particularly effective for daily draws, relationship readings, or any situation where a lighter, more intuitive touch is needed without sacrificing the truth of the message.
Usage Tip: Pay close attention to the cats' eyes and postures. Feline body language is incredibly communicative; the way a cat sits or looks toward a symbol on the card often provides the key to the card’s specific message for your situation.
