~The Rider Tarot Deck~Or Rider-Waite Tarot Deck~ |
This is one of the very best known of all the Tarot decks out there. Most people
just starting to learn the Tarot will choose some form of this deck, as their very
first. I had The Mini Rider Tarot, myself :) Known also as the Rider-Waite Tarot and the Waite Tarot, the deck was designed by Pamela Colman Smith under the guidance of Arthur Edward Waite. Reissued in collaboration with Miss Sybil Waite and Rider & Co., London. The "Waite" in the Rider-Waite Tarot refers to Arthur Edward Waite (1857-1941). Waite was deeply interested in all matters of an occult nature. He was a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Under the supervision of Waite, the unique 78 card Tarot pack known as the Rider Deck was drawn by Miss Pamela Colman Smith, an American girl who was a fellow member of the Order of the Golden Dawn. |
