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
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 just got a new one called The Mystical Manga deck and not only is it quite faithful to the rider Waite, but it comes with a full sized tarot book that’s like 200 pages long to teach you spreads, meanings, it even tells you the story of the fools journey so that you can really understand the major arcana. Definitely beginner friendly and I personally love the art
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
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!
YOOOOO! this is crazy. The teen section at the library I work at is absolutely insane over this one. We have a copy for reference use only but i feel like we need more
https://www.amazon.com/Everyday-Witch-Tarot-Deborah-Blake/dp/0738746347
Links for the named ones. Sorry about the indies
I feel like you would really enjoy the Tarot of the Divine cards. My mom got them for me for Christmas and I could stare at the art all day.
I have The Modern Witch tarot deck and I absolutely love it.
Judgment is definitely the Transient Light Tarot, Page of Swords is for sure Tarot Of The Divine, both lovely and the former a personal favorite of mine!
If she likes cats, this Cat Tarot looks very child friendly!
So the mug source is https://www.lookhuman.com/design/84071-hermit-tarot-card/mug11oz-undefined-one_size . Based on some googling around, while I could be very wrong, it seems to be bespoke art for the site that they then threw at their products. a.k.a. "no deck".
I did find the Modern Witch Tarot Deck by Lisa Sterle at https://www.amazon.com/Modern-Witch-Tarot-Deck/dp/1454938684/ which is pretty flipping sweet. Not the same, but the Hermit does still have a laptop.
