I received a new deck in the mail from Schiffer Publishing a few weeks back. And this is a pretty nifty deck. I am in love with the texture of the cards. It is SO neat. They aren't glossy, but there is a bit of a sheen on the back of each card which is decorated with nice cats in four corners. The front of the cards is in a barely noticeable linen-like texture that I am obsessed by. It makes the cards much easier to shuffle for me.
Each card is in a blue tone, hence the name Bleu Cats Tarot. It's a very free flowing design that is nice. Sometimes the cards don't completely mimic what I have been trained to know as the meaning of the cards, but that's okay. To each his own when it comes to tarot creation. But the descriptions in the book make this deck really shine. Don't be afraid to look in the book and get the definitions provided there. They are such a hoot.
This deck comes from the same designer of the Kilted Rubber Chicken Tarot (limited edition), Dream Raven Tarot and the Tarot of the Leaves. Beth Seilonen really out does herself here.
This deck is highly recommended. Don't be afraid when deck designers change the suits from wands and swords to plants and feathers. If you know the element (fire, water, air) of each suit, then deciphering these suits are just a piece of cake.
Take a gander at this tarot. It is pretty cool, if I do say so. I plan on putting it into my oracle/tarot rotation immediately.
You can pick up this deck on Amazon.com or over at the Schiffer Publishing site. www.schifferbooks.com
