Pagan Cats would be perfect IMNVHO ! AND it comes as a mini, so that's the size issue dealt with. (My granddaughter just met it and went wild )
Wow, cool! My son is turning 3 in a couple of months and I would love to teach him tarot. I will keep these ideas in mind, and start to expose him to his own deck soon. I will have to take care the cards dont get crayoned, torn up, bent, or strewn everywhere, or taken in the bath! Lol. He is such a boy!
Any ideas on giving him control of his cards yet finding a way to keep them safe?
Deck suggestions for children? I will have a look at Moon Garden.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'm curious have you used Mystical Cats before, and if so why do you suggest Pagan cats? I guess I'm asking why you might say Pagan Cats was better than Mystical Cats? (Besides the mini deck point).Pagan Cats would be perfect IMNVHO ! AND it comes as a mini, so that's the size issue dealt with. (My granddaughter just met it and went wild )
Wow that's great your daughter took such good care. I hope to instill respect and wonderment in my son for his cards so he cares for them... But I won't get too bent up if its just not his thing.This is a possibility, my daughter was careful with her deck and kept it in a wooden box, but over the years some cards got bent and crumpled up, but i just flattened them out and popped them back in the deck. Some cards got lost and then appeared again to my amazement after 3 house moves! I am surprised and happy she still has all of the cards. Her deck looks worn in and used and i don't mind that.... However i wouldn't have been happy with ripped cards, but that never happened. If i was you i'd just keep an eye on it, if he draws on the odd card don't worry, but ensure he doesn't draw on all the cards kind of thing. But it's entirely up to you. I taught my daughter from the beginning to respect her deck. The other thing i might suggest is to get two decks the same. I have a spare Moon Garden (mostly because i love it and want it for myself), so if she looses a card or one gets destroyed i can replace her cards when she is older if she still uses her deck. But its looking like the second deck is MINE HA HA HAAAA!!!
As far as suggestions, i'm not sure but something that will engage him in his age, the cats one sounds great (((((WANT IT))))).
This is GREAT!
I agree. Besides, as you know, there is always something else to learn in tarot reading. By the time she is an adult, she will most likely be a bit ahead of the game by having the confidence in herself to read the cards--but perhaps as an adult she can take it to a whole new level, by maybe understanding how the cards relate to the planets or whatever--and begin learning that part of it. Who knows, she may also become someone who writes books and teaches classes to those adults who are interested in learning the skill!
I think its wonderful you are sharing this with her now. Not only will she possibly learn to read the cards, but its also a great mother-daughter activity to share with each other.
I have used both (and many other cat decks.) I find the Pagan Cats much more chatty - and VERY subtle. If you have it - have you looked, for instance, at four swords and 10 swords together ?Thanks for the suggestion.

Calayvie, very cool that you got that deal on that deck! [emoji106] sounds like it was definitely MEANT to be!

That kind of thing.
Here's a whole thread about it. There are more !The Mystical Cats is - to my mind - really nice too, but not in the same class.
