About this product

Product Information

This edition, distinguished by its subtle, muted color tones, is an indispensable addition to any tarot collection. The bright, primary colors seen in the familiar 1909 version of Rider-Waite Tarot deck published by U.S. Games Systems, Inc. have been returned to their original palette exemplified in the Arts and Crafts style of the early 20th century. For example, the pale blue backgrounds seen in The Star and the Wheel of Fortune cards are presented here as minty green. Tarot aficionados will be pleased to see that the card backs have been restored to their original design of Tudor roses and lilies in pale blue.The Original Rider-Waite Tarot Pack includes a Celtic Cross card-spread guide and an updated version of The Pictorial Key to the Tarot, written by Arthur Edward Waite. This new edition includes a thoughtful foreword by Liz Greene, who not only places tarot in a historical context, but also situates it in a broader context. She describes tarot as a series of pictorial portrayals of the archetypal human life-journey.See also: Rider-Waite Tarot -- Premier Edition, Pocket Rider-Waite Tarot, Miniature Rider-Waite Tarot, Giant Rider-Waite Tarot, Spanish Rider-Waite Tarot, French Rider-Waite Tarot, 6-unit Rider-Waite Gravity Feed Display, Tarot Total Rider-Waite Deck/Book Set, The Golden Rider Tarot, Albano-Waite Tarot Deck, and Radiant Rider-Waite Tarot.

    A good buy and change from the usual RWS.

    I like this edition of the Rider Waite as there are so few reproductions of the Pam B on the market. The rose backs are a nice change from the US Games plaid backs. I like the pale green and deeper reds in the coloration of this deck.

    Beautiful subdued coloration!

    The Original Rider Waite Deck, as of writing this has become my favorite of all the RWS Tarot card decks! Its coloring is absolutely charming in an old world sort of way. The overall tone seems brownish compared to the standard RWS. Seeing as to many the coloring would be more appropriate in this version, it's a bit hard to understand why it isn't the most popular of all the RWS decks. I believe it's because some claim that the original Colman Smith line drawings were changed somewhat in this one, some Tarot users claim that there are subtlties missing. That may be so, however they haven't deviated in a way that affects my own expectations and usage of this deck any. Absolutely lovely!

    Wonderful tarot deck

    I really love this deck. The images are very meaningful and its pretty easy to tell just by glance the meaning behind the cards. The images are old so the quality isn't super amazing. The cards, however, are very nice. Thick paper but easy to shuffle and deal. My one complaint is the little booklet that comes with it. It's very small and the information is all jammed up. This is easily remedied by little bookmarking flags for quick reference. All in all, if you're a tarot lover and you don't have this deck, you should consider it for sure.

    Basic but invaluable

    Everyone should own this deck and branch out afterwards. This particular edition is a nice keepsake as well.
