Design and Artwork
The Tarot of the White Cats Mini, a charming creation by Pietro Alligo and Severino Baraldi, is a mini-edition of the beloved Tarot of the White Cats. Designed for portability, these cards are 1.7" x 3.1", making them easy to carry and ideal for on-the-go readings. The artwork is captivating, featuring white cats in scenes closely resembling the traditional Rider-Waite-Smith (RWS) imagery. This design choice makes the deck accessible to beginners while still appealing to seasoned tarot enthusiasts.
Symbolism and Themes
Aligning with the classic RWS depictions, the Tarot of the White Cats Mini maintains familiar symbolism but infuses it with a playful, feline twist. Each card is rich in detail and depth, offering fresh perspectives to traditional tarot interpretations. The cat theme adds a unique charm and lightheartedness to the readings.
User Experience
Users find the Tarot of the White Cats Mini delightful and practical. Its size is perfect for those with smaller hands and for tarot enthusiasts who appreciate the convenience of a portable deck. The deck's artistry is highly praised for its beauty and detail. However, some users express a preference for a borderless design, noting that the additional white border slightly reduces the visual impact of the images.
