Baroque Bohemian Cats Tarot

It is a lot happier than many Judgement cards I think. We love the big tortie cat. She was a real darling - but had very big feet
;-) (don't tell her I said that!)

I absolutely love it!

Is that another of your kittens I spy in the hands of an angel?

Yes, that is the leader of the pack, Cindy, who turned out to be, ahem... Sydney! I never was very good with gender and cats

S/he has gone off to live with two great young women who have a nervous cat who was lonely and needed cheering up. I think Sydney will certainly liven things up - though I hope the older cat is not too nervous because he does love to play with tails.

Oh, roflmao, it's wonderful! "Heaven? Did I sign up for this? Now, WAIT just a minute....."

Most cats I know would get straight to the main point - "Is there fish and is there cream in heaven?" I am confident that the answer is yes!

I love your judgement card. coffins would not have worked nearly as well. I hope no one is offended by the "nudity" of the cats I think it is quite appropriate in this context.

LOL! Yes, perhaps we should put a warning on the deck?

As I was asked to tidy up this thread

by one person here - and I do think it's a good idea - here is a summary of some of the cards. At least it means people don't have to wade through the whole thread! Though in fact I haven't put anything like all here, but a good selection at least for now.

I will also resize, copyright mark and restore some of the earlier ones that I had to remove, and add them in here in the next couple of days. Hope that's easier for everyone!

The Hierophant (first time I've shown him here)
The Hermit
The Lovers (I don't think I've shown them here either? They are a little cold and stiff - but about to be overwhelmed by passion once the arrow hits - a dramatic interpretation )
The Moon (which still seems to be a favourite)
The Devil (and a close-up on the way for anyone who says it isn't scary enough ;-) )

Sorry - Majors not in any order, but I'll try to sort that out once I add a few more.

Hi Baba,

I was a bit slow in discovering this thread, but at least not too late to preorder, which I have done (I also just finished reading all the posts in this thread, which took a couple of sittings!).

In looking at the Temperance card I noticed that, if you consider the picture divided diagonally, then the gold cup, orangy side of the cat's face, and yellow blossoms are on one side, and the silver cup, black side of the cat's face and taupe-ish Temperance figure are on the other. A very balanced look

Edited to change "veritcally" to "diagonally"

Thanks! Yes, I think a lot of people never come to the Creation forum. It's a pity as some really good general discussion also goes on here

Oh - got your pre-order too. Thank-you. We are going to be very busy with mailings in June, it's exciting!

So - yes, we did try to keep in mind this central "balance" with Temperance. I think "Balance" is actually a better name for this card - but in fact we are keeping to RWS names.

With The Star (edited in above) we tried to keep it all rather blue/white/grey. Sort of early evening, when the colours are beautiful but a little dimmed. I like this one in fact (well, I like them all really, but I do have my favourites).
