It’s the Cat Tarot from Megan Lynn Kott
here’s more pictures of the deck FULL of cats! Our Golden boy is sadly the evil one in their eyes
After reading The Fourth Turning and witnessing what has occurred the last 4 years and is currently happening now, yes. It was written in the 90s and predicted a great possibility of a WW2 type event sometime around 2020-2024. It posits it based on natural historical cycles and gives tons of proof and evidence, beyond conjecture. 9/11 came like being sucker punched and no one really had premonitions but now, you can feel it in the air. Heavy.
Speaking of automation and technology, I just saw this on the news today. https://www.dnanudge.com/en/about-us
So far it's only available in the UK, but with this US story it's a soft disclosure for here in the states. I mean, people just keep giving away more and more of themselves for no other reason than laziness and convenience. They say they destroy the DNA after they make the product, but I don't believe it for a second when they could make a fortune selling it. In fact, there's a very good chance 23&Me is selling information to GSK. Amazon and Google are diving right into the medical industry. "They" won't be happy until they have full control over every aspect of our lives and are beaming ads into our dreams like in Futurama.
As for collapse, we're due for one form of it or another at this point in history. Read this book, https://smile.amazon.com/Fourth-Turning-American-Prophecy-Rendezvous/dp/0767900464/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=the+fourth+turning&qid=1577573087&sr=8-1
It was written in 1997, but one thing the authors didn't factor in was climate change. In some paragraphs, they describe the 2025 collapse as "potentially beneficial, as we can arise stronger than ever from the ashes," (paraphrasing here), but it looks more like we're heading down a nice, long road of fascism with a healthy dose of a dying world on top. Yay.
Edit: A word
It’s every 4th generation. 80 to 100 years. It’s called the fourth turning. A great book on the whole generational cycle of crisis to awakening is called “The Fourth Turning” by Neil Howe and William Strauss. https://www.amazon.com/Fourth-Turning-American-Prophecy-Rendezvous/dp/0767900464
The classic treatise on Cognitive Dissonance is When Prophecy Fails by Leon Festinger (the Psychologist who coined the term). It's a fascinating read. Festinger and a few of his students infiltrated a Chicago-based UFO cult in the 50s. They observed firsthand what happens in a religious group when presented with undeniable evidence that their beliefs are false.
If you want to understand the psychology of belief, this is an invaluable book.
it's the Cat Tarot & I bought it on Amazon!
I bought mine from a local bookstore but this is the Amazon link:
I would just start with a rider wait deck. Most of the tarot 101 info out there is based on the imagery in the rider deck. It’s a good starting point to get familiar.
I believe people are so caught up in day to day life that they don't recognize what is going on around them. They are consumed with "have to do this" and "have to do that" to get the time to step back and really think deeply and slowly about.. life. They're not thinking about what they actually want and instead mostly about what they believe they need to do or how much they don't like the way things are, etc. Everything else.
Yes, our society is very sick. You don't have to look very hard to see so many clear signs.
Would suggest picking up a copy of "The Fourth Turning". These guys seem to have it figured out and we're in what they call a fourth turning right now. These cycles have repeated over and over again in history.
I wouldn't say we're doomed though I suspect we're in for a rough time in the coming years. I believe we'll get through to the other side of it but it won't be pretty. I believe the cycle will roll over to better times eventually just as has happened many times before.
One thing is for sure - the mind is a powerful thing and what you believe impacts your life much more than you might think. If enough of us change our minds and beliefs then our world eventually changes. The world is this way for us because of what we believe. Change our minds change our lives. It's very simple yet also very difficult, especially on a large scale.
Golden Tarot is great for quick reference! I also cannot recommend enough: 78 Degrees of Wisdom by Rachel Pollack. It's based around this deck and it really helps you dive into the symbolism and really LOOK at the cards and help you glean how to make the cards' meanings and symbols meaningful to you.
Edit: a word
I would suggest the Rider-Waite-Smith deck, which you can buy for pretty cheap on Amazon. Most other decks are based on this system and almost all books and websites for learning the cards use this deck. When you start to learn, the LearnTarot website is free and very helpful. Have fun! Exploring Tarot is one of the best decisions I have ever made.
I had looked online at actually buying one and on amazon at least they were suuuper expensive, so I bought a tarot deck, pulled the right amount of cards following this guide mostly. Then I tea dyed them and dried them off between paper towels and pressed by a heavy book and used some scrap fabric and a tassel to complete the ancient magic deck look.
If anyone wants to do the same, my suggestion to you is to do the tea dying in waves and not let them sit too long. I let the whole deck soak for a few hours in a pot of tea that had been made with 14 black tea bags and the glue separated on some of them splitting the backs from the faces. They stuck back together but I lost a few of the cards. Doesn't really matter I guess, but for anyone's future reference.
Ah, that makes more sense. That's a Rider-Waite-Smith card. It might be one of the variations on the original since the colors are much clearer than on my own cards. Here's a comparison of similar decks on YouTube for you to check out.
Edit to add: Comparing your link to the video, it looks like the most similar decks are the ones published by U.S. Games Systems Inc. Here's an Amazon link to their Rider Tarot Deck.
I got Mine off Amazon. They are the Tarot unknown deck.
Hi it has someone's name next to it now but here is a link from Amazon...a lot of cheaper options for gently used books...I cleanse all books so im good.......Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom: A Book of Tarot https://www.amazon.com/dp/1578634083/ref=cm_sw_r_u_apa_glt_fabc_QXS4ADCWB8CDZVDRZ0SX?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I think you are alluding to the ideas proposed in the book The Fourth Turning by Strauss and Howe. Great book that I'm still trying to finish. They go into a lot of detail about the idea that...
Hard times create strong men. Strong men create easy times. Easy times create weak men. Weak men create hard times... ad infinitum.

For information on how each generation views another based on how and when they grew up, read The fourth turning it was released December 1996 but it's widely discussed for the accuracy of the predictions it makes.
There is much to be said for esoteric Christianity. Most Christians either consider it heretical or have no clue what the word "esoteric" means.

Cat Tarot by Megan Lynn Kott
I found them at urban outfitters but they have them on amazon!
it's the Cat Tarot and I bought mine from Amazon!
It’s so cute!! The devil card is my fave!
since I have nothing better to do today:
The photos pictured look like they're from the <strong>Rider Tarot Deck</strong>, which is a 1971 reissue of the original work, which was created by Pamela Colman Smith in 1909 and published in 1910. The copyright is held by U.S. Game Systems, Inc, and the reissue was made in collaboration with Miss Sybil Waite and Rider & Company, London.
The box itself refers to the deck as "The Rider Tarot Deck," noting on the back that it is also known as the Waite Tarot and The Rider-Waite Tarot. The box notes that this edition is "the original and only authorized edition of the famous 78-card Tarot Deck designed by PAMELA COLMAN SMITH (emphasis theirs), under the direction of ARTHUR EDWARD WAITE."
In 2009 U.S. Games Systems released another, more true-to-original reproduction of the deck as part of the Pamela Colman Smith Commemorative Set. This updated deck is available as of 2015 under the name <strong>Smith-Waite Centennial Tarot Deck</strong>
its called wild unknown tarot, you can get it on amazon for $25. i know its also in some book stores, but those are all closed rn lol
Cards: just under $20 on Amazon
Single card pulls: really easy
Look maybe I'm just in a salty mood because I know this is gonna appeal to someone, probably, but as much as I love people getting into Tarot it makes me mad. Why would you buy a random card pulled by a random person who has as far as I can tell 0 knowledge of what she's doing to give you any insight into your life???
I have the same one, it’s adorableeeee
The Ethereal Visions Illuminated tarot deck is absolutely gorgeous and one of my favourites from my collection!
