Mystical Cats Tarot - Three of Fire (Wands)

Onaorkal

A white cat with green eyes is standing with her hindlegs flexed, as if she was about to jump. She's looking up towards a very bright source of light which we can't see from our point of view.
The background of the card appears as varied shades of dark grey, as the light doesn't reach further than a delimitated spot, in the middle of which the cat is standing.
A tomoe symbol, seemingly engraved in the ground, can be seen right under the cat. Each part includes flame patterns.


Colors : Very neutral tones (Grey, white, beige)


As much as the 2s were about passiveness and waiting, the 3s are about movement and action. Sometimes, when the unknown lies ahead, it's good to take some time for reflection and planning. But at the end of the day, all risk cannot be avoided and you still have to go forward. ''Making a leap into the unknown requires courage, but how else do we get from darkness to enlightenment?'' So trust your intuition and jump towards the light!


Symbolism :

White cat : Typically associated with good luck, happiness and purity.

Bright light : Related to life, englightenment, final goal/destination.

Darkness : Associated with death, can refer to the absence of knowledge (''to be kept in the dark'').

Mitsu tomoe : Circular symbol of Japanese origin, relevant to the Buddhist and Shinto beliefs. It is made of 3 interlocked 'commas' symbolizing flames. Among other things, it represents the threefold division of the Shinto cosmology (Earth, Heavens and humankind) and the cyclicity of life.
In this case, actual flames were drawn in each section.
