Malachite
I'm beginning work on my own deck at the moment, synthesising meanings, working out symbolism and sketching out and such forth, and one question has sprung immediately to mind:
Why does the Fool have a cat?
a few ideas have come to me:
*Cats don't represent new beginnings, as far as I can see, so it could be symbolic of carrying something of your past with you...
*If the Fool is indeed the Magician, or even a magician, then the cat could be his familiar...
*The cat is a foolish companion, as it has no loyalty, as opposed to a dog...but then some decks have show a dog instead...
