Rider-Waite Tarot has set the standard for hundreds of other tarot decks, which follow the archetypal images created by Pamela Colman Smith in 1909under the direction of Arthur Edward Waite. This edition includes Smith's original hand drawn titles."A unique feature of the Rider-Waite deck, and one of the of the principal reasons for its enduring popularity, is that all of the cards, including the Minor Arcana, depict full scenes with figures and symbols. Prior to the Rider-Waite Tarot, the pip cards of almost all tarot decks were marked only with the arrangement of the suit signs -- swords, wands, cups, and coins, or pentacles. The pictorial images on all the cards allow interpretations without the need to repeatedly consult explanatory text. The innovative Minor Arcana, and Pamela Colman Smith's ability to capture the subtleties of emotion and experience have made the Rider-Waite Tarot a model for the designs of many tarot packs." -- (from The Encyclopedia of Tarot, Volume III)Rider-Waite Tarot was named one of the Top Ten Tarot Decks of All Time by Aeclectic Tarot.Pamela Colman SmithBorn February 16, 1878, in Middlesex, England to American parents, Smith's childhood years were spent between London, New York, and Kingston, Jamaica. During her teens, she traveled throughout England with the theatre company of Ellen Terry and Henry Irving. Thereafter, she began formal art training at Pratt Institute of Brooklyn, graduating in 1897.Smith returned to England, where she became a theatrical designer for miniature theatre, and an illustrator -- mainly of books, pamphlets and posters. Around 1903, she joined the Order of the Golden Dawn. In 1909, under the guidance of Arthur Edward Waite, she undertook a series of seventy-eight allegorical paintings described by Waite as a rectified tarot pack. The designs, published in the same year by William Rider and Son, exemplify the mysticism, ritual, imagination, fantasy, and deep emotions of the artist.Arthur Edward WaiteBorn in America in 1857, Waite was raised and educated as a Catholic in England. Beginning at the age of 21, Waite pursued research and writing on psychical and esoteric matters. Soon after joining the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, he became the Grand Master, and redirected the focus of the order from magic to mysticism. The Golden Order, whose structural hierarchy was based on the Kabbalah, is considered the single greatest 20th century influence on the occult. Waite was a prolific author of occult texts, works on the Holy Grail, and the body of mystical knowledge, which comprises the basis of modern Tarot. He is best known as the co-creator of the Rider-Waite Tarot deck and author of its companion volume The Pictorial Key to the Tarot, first published in 1910.

Rider-Waite Tarot Deck

The original and only authorized edition of the famous 78-card Waite tarot deck.

Rider-Waite was named one of the Top Ten Tarot Decks of All Time by Aeclectic

— High quality card stock.

— Crisp, clear images.

— Superior varnish ensures durability and ease of shuffling.

In 1909, artist Pamela Colman Smith’s involvement with the Order of the Golden Dawn led to a commission from Arthur Edward Waite to create a 78-card tarot deck. Originally known as the Rider deck, it was the first to include full pictorial scenes for the Minor Arcana pips. Pamela’s varied mystical influences are evident throughout the deck. Once considered revolutionary, The Rider-Waite deck has set the standard for hundreds of other decks and has inspired a myriad of different versions available from U.S. Games Systems, Inc.

Arthur Edward Waite

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Arthur Edward Waite (2 October 1857 – 19 May 1942), commonly known as A. E. Waite, was an American-born British poet and scholarly mystic who wrote extensively on occult and esoteric matters, and was the co-creator of the Rider-Waite Tarot deck. As his biographer R. A. Gilbert described him, "Waite's name has survived because he was the first to attempt a systematic study of the history of western occultism—viewed as a spiritual tradition rather than as aspects of proto-science or as the pathology of religion."

Great Those Of Us With Hand Issues

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 7, 2023

Verified Purchase

After buying a larger vividly-colored version of the Rider Waite deck, I found I couldn't easily shuffle or even handle the cards. I have arthritis in both hands and the card stock was just too sturdy. But this little set is perfect. The same size and flexibility as regular playing cards & very easy to shuffle. The smaller card size also means larger spreads take less room to lay out, a real help when space is limited.

I had a friend in college that did this stuff, so I thought I'd give it a go. Someday's when I am bored I'll play five card stud against an imaginary player. I don't want to go into details on how to play 5 card stud poker with these cards, but there is a way to do it.

残念でした。

Reviewed in Japan 🇯🇵 on June 14, 2018

Verified Purchase

今回楽しみにしていましたが、皆さんのレビューで
外箱がつぶれていたとかありましたので、
少し心配もありました。

届いて確認したところ、外箱は綺麗でひとまず安心でした。
しかし、中を開けたら？？？で自分の目を疑いました。

裁断ミスなのか、カードは原型をとどめていません。
残念ながら、１枚の広用紙にカードの絵柄を印刷して
カードの絵柄を無視して裁断されて箱詰めされたようです。
一番上のカードは、サイズもとても小さかったです。

こういうことがあるんだと驚きましたがいろいろ考えず返品することにします。交換は不安なので返品のみです。

私はこれまでこのような不良品に当たったことがないので
ビックリしましたし、品物も品物ですのでとても残念でしたが、縁がなかったのだろうと考えることにしました。

Beware counterfeit Rider Waite Tarot decks!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 4, 2020

Verified Purchase

Do not buy the Yellow Box Rider Waite tarot from Kingfisher-Trading, they sell poor quality counterfeit cards. Appalling.

The picture suggests you are buying the latest edition of the Rider Waite tarot with restored original font titles by Pamela Colman Smith. What you get is an appalling low quality counterfeit deck.

Best Tarot Deck I Own

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on May 30, 2017

Verified Purchase

Easily the best tarot deck I own. It arrived earlier than expected. Even though the box was a bit beat up, the cards inside are in pristine condition. I've added pictures of back and front of the cards so people can get an idea what the back looks like. Also pictured is a regular sharpie fine point marker for scale. It also comes with a small Instruction Booklet and an info card about Pamela Colman Smith (a very touching read). Would definitely recommend and buy again.

Really good. But could be better

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 3, 2021

Verified Purchase

i really enjoy the pictures and in appeals to me that the numbers cards of the minor arcana have no writing on them other that the roman numeral indicated at the top.
however the back of the cards is uninspired to say the least. you don't even get a border.
not much else to say. deck and the guidebook fit in the box nicely, not too tight not too loose.
paper quality on the cards is just fine and i can find to fault in the printing at all. the guidebook is nice, little and simple. you could get a larger heavier tome but i prefer these that fit in the box. easier to carry around.
