The Baroque Bohemian Cats' Tarot Deck Cards – November 1, 2004

Delivered quickly and carefully. Just as advertised. I LOVE this delightful deck. Thank you so much! An excellent seller!

I couldn't be more happy with this Tarot kit! The book is wonderfully organized and I think that the author hits things square on! I love the 'Cat's Interpretation' for every card. Sometimes they are the best way to explain the cards to a newbie I've ever seen. They are playful and approachable and undeniably gorgeous. I have several other decks that I use but my "kitty tarot" as I call it affectionately is by far my very very favorite. I treasure them and the book also and I keep them with me all the time. If you enjoy Tarot cards and love cats - this is your deck. In fact - even if you don't know or think much of Tarot - these cards are a still a cat (and art)lovers dream. Oh and the "bonus" card is wonderful.

The artwork is worth the price of admission. The cards have a cheap feel to them, the paper is very thin, but they can be shuffled with some effort. When looking down at your layout the colors and the expressions on the faces of the cats give an extra dimension to the read. While this will not often be my deck of choice for reading, I am glad to have it in my collection and certainly believe the money was well spent.

I like the creative duo that produced The Baroque Bohemian Cats' Tarot. I also have the Prague Tarot and also purchased their Gothic Bohemian Deck. Unfortunately, that one never arrived from Amazon. It was two days from getting here when I made a change to free shipping. I had no idea that Amazon would treat it as a new order. After that, I never got it. I hope that another of that deck will come out. Also, I would like to see them come up with more decks. They are one of the most creative people out there right now. I hope they keep it up.

I've been working with these cards for a couple months now and I have to say I've fallen in love with these Cats!!! Both the major and minor arcanas are so well thought out and the companion book as well. It's just a really fun deck and find myself identifying with these beautifully and creatively dressed cats. Everything down to the nice size and stock of the cards makes this tarot kit a real joy. Even if you really arn't a cat lover, you'll find yourself falling in love with these cats, you can't help yourself...Enjoy.

Exactly what I wanted!!! I was a little uncertain because the price was so low for this out of print deck. Not only was the price AMAZING! but also the deck was still in its original packaging! Thank you SO MUCH

I have read tarot for 15 years and this deck is my favorite. I've had a chance to do many readings for friends with this deck and it is an absolute delight. I love cats and the artwork is superb. My favorite card in this deck is the MOON. You have got to try this deck it is positive and fun! Definitely a 5ive star deck!

The imagery is absolutely charming and fits in well with the traditions of Rider-Waite. The book that accompanies it is interesting and gives an account of the origins of depicting cats wearing clothes and other artists that have drawn cats in this way. The cards themselves are extremely impressive but the book is also valuable.

Although not a cat person (more dog!) this has to be one of the most beautiful tarot decks I have seen! Since getting it from Amazon, I have been drawn to the cards time and time again. The book which accompanies the deck is well written, informative but not at all stuffy. The added "cats interpretation" of each card is a unique and light-hearted look at the cards. If you only buy one tarot deck and you want one which is visually stunning, then go for this one!!!

Magic Realist press have a wonderful way of making images that fascinate, intrigue and make you feel good!Although this deck is based on cats wearing fancy costumes and who are placed in human poses and situations, this deck is very easy to understand and yet deep in meaning. It would offer additional insights for those who keep to the Rider-Waite tradition. The cats, costumes, backgrounds and props are so stunning and vibrant, I want to step into the card to experience it!This deck is accompanied by a beautifully bound in-depth book, which explains, in detail, the imagery and the meaning of the card. The cards are a good size, with a matt finish but not very robust. The deck and book comes in an easily accessible box. It comers with one extra, special card too.Given that I'm not keen on cats but love this deck, I imagine that someone who does love cats would indeed fall madly in love with it! Recommended for all, for beginners and experienced readers.

「バロック」というだけあって、背景の装飾は巧緻で、衣服は華麗で、見所の多いカードです。肝心の猫!とても可愛いです、猫っぽい猫だらけで大好きです。中には表情が擬人化されすぎた猫もいますが、僅かなので、そうした猫が嫌い、という方でも大丈夫だと思います。イラストの猫だけでなく、実写の猫も混在しているようです。伝統的なマルセイユ版なども考慮してか、大アルカナには番号が振られていません。図案はウェイト版に忠実とはいえ、10本の剣が猫に刺さっている、というようなことはないので、一安心。カードサイズは130×78mm、厚さは全部で30ミリもありませんので、小さな手でもフルデッキ扱えるでしょう。ただ、いかにも紙製といった造りなので、耐久性は低いと思われます。カードの印刷は、裏面と、色によっては部分的にやや荒いのですが、その他は良好、鑑賞にも十分堪えうる程度で、全絵札です。既にセカンドエディションに移行していますので、ファーストエディションが欲しい人は注意。セカンドになり変更された大きな点は、イラストを囲んでいた枠が取り払われ、イラストが大きくなったこと。絵柄の変更も多いようです。以上の評価もセカンドのものです。

チェコのプラハの風景や建物、チェスキー・クルムロフ城の室内等、バロック的な背景に王侯貴族に扮したネコたちの写真を組み込んだよい仕上がりのタロットカード７８枚。ネコ好きの方にはたまらないカードで、見飽きません。ただ、実際に使うとなると、人によっては図柄が結構派手なので集中できないかもしれません。コレクションとして揃えるにはお薦めの美しいタロットカードです
