Tarot of Marseille Cats
This deck is a playful yet profound reimagining of the classic Tarot de Marseille tradition. The main characters are cats, who, in various forms, evoke the symbolism of the oldest European Tarot. Their grace, independence, and mystery lend a new tone to the arcana—light, ironic, and at the same time wise.
