Synopsis
In 1909, Arthur Edward Waite encouraged Pamela Colman Smith to produce a tarot deck with appeal to the world of art that would have significance behind the symbols and thus make the deck more important than tarot packs previously used for centuries.
The result was the unique Rider-Waite tarot deck which has endured as the world's most popular 78-card tarot deck.
The innovative cards, including the 56 Minor Arcana, depict full scenes with figures and symbols. This feature, combined with Pamela Colman Smith's ability to capture the subtleties of emotion and experience, has made the Rider-Waite Tarot the basis for the designs of many century decks.
Set includes the 78-card Universal Waite Tarot Deck, The Pictorial Key to the Tarot by Arthur Edward Waite, 340 pp. Ill. (pb), and spread sheet.

January 01, 2009: I have to say that I am very impressed with the deck. The book is a little over my head for me to understand but in time, I hope I understand it. The one thing I don't like though that they don't give you a nice bag to store your cards in. I have seen other decks that come with a purple velvet bag for your cards. I think that would be a great idea since purple represents intution.
