The Original Rider Waite Tarot is the most popular and widely used tarot card deck in the world, designed by Pamela Colman Smith in accordance with A. E. Waite's instructions. First issued in 1910, each card is rich in symbolism and striking in its design. In this pack, the 78 card deck is accompanied by an invaluable instructional book, The Key to the Tarot with an introduction by Liz Greene. The book can be used in conjunction with any set of tarot cards, but it was written in particular to accompany the Rider Waite deck.
