A long-haired black cat sits square in the center on a stack of three old books, spines out, gilt tooling still showing on the leather. Its eyes are amber-gold and looking right at you, and a small gold pendant hangs at its throat on a fine chain. Behind it a pale cracked panel is divided like a wheel into twelve wedges, each one ruled with thin lines. The dark stone rim carries the zodiac glyphs in gold on charcoal, running the whole way around.
The cracked background copies stained glass and the rim copies carved stone. Both are printed onto one flat sheet — there are no separate panes and no joins to catch dust.
Sits well over a desk, a reading chair, or the shelf where the tarot lives. The zodiac ring makes it a fit for anyone who does charts rather than spells, and the cat makes it a fit for everybody else, which is a useful combination in a gift.

The Black Cat leads the design as an archetype of mystery, independence and familiar lore. Other gothic or seasonal details build atmosphere around that central character.
