This Tarot is a masterpiece for all time. The deck is reproduced from the original first edition of December 1909 by Arthur Edward Waite and Pamela Colman Smith. High-quality printing allows one to immerse deeply into the essence of this Tarot. The instruction booklet is written by well-known author and Tarot expert Sasha Graham.
The Waite Tarot was created more than a century ago thanks to mystic Arthur Edward Waite, artist Pamela Colman Smith, and London publisher William Rider. The creators of the first deck succeeded in producing a Tarot that incorporates knowledge from many occult traditions, while remaining universal and simple enough for beginners to work with.
This universality is what makes the Waite Tarot so indispensable and popular. It can be used to explore both everyday and magical situations, to examine oneself and others, and even for magical practice, using Tarot Arcana as a ritual focus.
The Waite Tarot is ideal as a first deck for anyone beginning to learn the art of divination. Most modern Tarot decks are based on the Waite system, so learning it automatically prepares the practitioner for working with many other decks.
The original Waite Tarot, with illustrations by Pamela Colman Smith, contains a vast number of symbolic elements. By paying attention to them, one learns to understand symbolic language itself—the language of magic and all occult sciences. This also makes it easier to approach esoteric teachings such as alchemy, astrology, Kabbalah, and ceremonial magic.
