Rider-Waite® Tarot Deck
Rider-Waite® Tarot Deck
A classic edition of the RWS Deck.
Created by Pamela Colman Smith in 1909.
"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. " -- (from The Encyclopedia of Tarot, Volume III)
