Spirit Cats Inspirational Card Deck

The Spirit Cats Inspirational Card Deck is a 44-card oracle deck created by artist Nicole Piar, designed to offer peace, connection, and clarity through its whimsical feline imagery and accompanying messages. Each card features a unique hand-painted Spirit Cat illustration on one side and a healing message on the other, intended to spark intuition and provide guidance for daily life.

Launched successfully on Kickstarter in 2016, the deck was created to be accessible to a wide audience, from cat lovers and art enthusiasts to modern mystics and seasoned tarot readers. The campaign emphasized that no prior experience with tarot or oracle cards is needed to benefit from the deck, making it an inviting tool for personal reflection and emotional healing. The cards are designed for simple daily rituals, encouraging users to ask a question, pick a card, and reflect on its visual and textual insights.

The physical deck consists of 44 square cards, measuring 3.75”x3.75”, printed on thick, coated paper with rounded corners. They come housed in a rigid, sturdy two-part box. The artwork, writing, and design were completed prior to the Kickstarter launch, ensuring a streamlined production process once funded. The deck aims to help users expand intuition, gain clarity, connect with desires, and foster creativity and playfulness.

This deck is ideal for cat lovers, art enthusiasts, and individuals seeking a gentle, intuitive tool for daily guidance and self-reflection. It appeals to those new to divination, as its straightforward oracle system and positive messages are highly accessible. Experienced tarot and oracle readers who appreciate whimsical, animal-themed art and a focus on emotional healing will also find this deck a charming addition to their practice. It's particularly suited for anyone looking to cultivate a simple, peaceful daily ritual.
