Theme: Whimsical cat-like characters bringing joy to tarot
Medium: digital
The Kitten Nugget Tarot is an 81-card deck featuring whimsical, cat-like characters in a vibrant, accessible art style. Designed by Erin Murtha, it aims to bring joy and approachability to tarot readings for all levels.
About This Deck
The Kitten Nugget Tarot is an 81-card deck, including the standard 78 tarot cards plus three additional cards, created by multi-disciplinary artist Erin Murtha. Launched successfully on Kickstarter in 2022, this limited edition indie deck was conceived to manifest joy and offer an accessible, adorable, and collectible tarot experience. The deck is designed to be user-friendly for readers of all skill levels, from beginners to experienced practitioners, and also appeals to those who simply appreciate cute art or cat-themed items.
The deck comes with a comprehensive 190-page full-color guidebook, providing in-depth interpretations for each card. The physical presentation of the deck is also a highlight, featuring cards with holographic edging, housed in a tuck box, and then nestled within a themed magnetic closure box. This attention to detail in both the artwork and the physical product enhances its appeal as a collectible item while maintaining its functionality as a divination tool.
The core concept revolves around 'kitten nuggets' — charming, simplified cat-like figures that embody the traditional tarot archetypes in a lighthearted manner. This approach makes complex tarot concepts more digestible and less intimidating, fostering an intuitive connection with the cards. The additional cards, including one inspired by a Kickstarter sponsor, further personalize the deck and expand its interpretive possibilities.
