Today’s Tarot Card Compare looks at 3 versions of the 3 of Cups.
The first card is from The Tarot of the Sevenfold Mystery by Robert M. Place. The second is from Cat’s Eye Tarot by Debra M. Given. And the third card is from the Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot by Arthur Waite and Pamela Colman Smith.
How are themes of friendship, sharing, celebration, and caring for others represented in each card? How are they similar? What makes each unique?
I like all of these images, but I especially enjoy the elemental chalice hats from The Tarot of the Sevenfold Mystery. And of course, I love the kitties …
Today’s my birthday and I’m taking the whole day off!!
So that I don’t have to close up shop completely, my cat Carl JK has offered to fill in for me.
As you can see, he’ll be using the Cat’s Eye Tarot by Debra M. Givin for all readings.

Cat's Eye Tarot
Tonight on Beyond Worlds, we’ll be visiting with Dr. Debra Givin, creator of the Cat’s Eye Tarot.
Not only is Givin the designer of a charming new deck for cats and their humans, she’s actually a cat doctor. A vetrinarian since 1982, she’s been working specifically with felines since 1988.
Her current interests include behavior and individual feline temperament types, environmental enrichment, and prevention of obesity.
She’s also interested in restoring cats to the god-like status they held in ancient Egypt.
Which brings us back to the Cat’s Eye Tarot – definitely a deck for cat lovers. With virtually no human intrusion, cats are featured in every card. And they’re adorable.
Givin’s understanding of feline behaviour is evident throughout. Though the deck follows the general themes in the Rider Waite Smith Tarot, it tells the story from a cat’s point of view.
My cat Carl approves, and will probably be listening to the show.
Join him, and us live in the chat room, or call in at (646) 200-0765.
