Tarot Deck For Crazy Cat People Like Myself

When I saw this deck at Barnes and Noble, I had to get it; I'd been searching for the right deck that I really felt a connection with, and this immediately caught my eye. Along with the most cute and silly depictions of the cards, illustrated by Megan Lynn Kott, the deck comes with a little booklet, written by Julia Smillie, that helps explain how to interpret the individual cards as well as how to do tarot readings! Here are some of my favorite cards in the deck and the explanation given before getting more in depth into them, directly quoted from Ms. Smillie.

The complete Wands set

Ace: "Creativity is in the air--along with a rainbow of possibilities. This is a time of new beginnings, motivation, inspiration, creativity, vitality and energy."

Knight: "Both gallant and a tad annoying, the Knight of Wands always believes he knows best--and, with his energy and passion, he often does."

Page: "Like all the Pages in the tarot, the Page of Wands brings youthful energy but can also bring his youthful lack of judgement."

Queen: "The Queen of Wands exudes confidence. She is a Seer: strong, capable, vibrant, fearless, and ambitious. No matter how sleepy she may look."

King: "The King of Wands is everything a leader should be: strong, powerful, ambitious, and experienced."

The Magician, High Priestess, Hierophant and Hermit

The Magician: "The Magician straddles two worlds, one paw reaching skyward, two more on the ground, signifying the work of creativity."

The High Priestess: "Like an unexpected doorbell chime on a boring day, a visit from this card is both welcome and mysterious."

The Hierophant: "This card represents conformity, both good and bad."

The Hermit: "Indoor kitties needn't be any less worldly than wild ones."

The Empress and Emperor

The Empress: "This alpha female rules over an empire of peace and plenty."

The Emperor: "Worn with the right attitude, even a cone of shame can be a crown."

The Lovers, Hanged Man and Sun

The Lovers: "The Lovers bask in the sunshine of perfect harmony on a day undarkened by clouds."

The Hanged Man: "Although it looks like doom and danger, this card isn't the disaster it appears to be."

The Sun: "The sun provides a backdrop to the cat, on whom it rises and sets."

The Chariot, Justice, Star and Strength

The Chariot: "It may be called the company chair, but we all know who actually sits there."

Justice: "Just because the hand feeds you doesn't mean it doesn't deserve an occasional nip."

The Star: "Like Polaris, this card guides us to our personal true North."

Strength: "Everyone gets tired, but Strength always comes roaring back."

The Devil, Tower and Judgement

The Devil: "Like most dogs, the Devil is all bark and no bite."

The Tower: "."

Judgement: "Here comes the judge."

Ace of Swords and Page of Cups

Ace of Swords: "Aces herald new beginnings and, in this case, the spawning of new ideas, words, thoughts, and plans."

Page of Cups: "As usual, the Page brings in a youthful perspective, but he is still willing to take a good look at his reflection in order to understand his true feelings."

The 2 of Cups, 8 of Cups, 6 of Swords and 10 of Swords

2 of Cups: "What is better than the joining of two souls? This card is about unions and partnerships of all sorts."

8 of Cups: "Not everything in life is about material or physical possessions. Do some seeking, figure out what it is you want in life, and reach for something meaningful."

6 of Swords: "You're feeling a little low, but you'll soon be moving on from a rough situation. Or trying to, at least."

10 of Swords: "The worst seems to have happened. Or at least you've found yourself in a situation without a quick or easy remedy."

I hope you enjoy these as much as I do!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
