About this product

Product Information

Arthur Edward Waite was a profound scholar of the occult. He was a member of the Order of the Golden Dawn and made the tarot accessible to the reader with the release of his seminal work, The Pictorial Key to the Tarot, in 1909. The book is broken into three parts: The Veil and Its Symbols which provides a history of the tarot along with traditional symbols associated with each card; The Doctrine of the Veil comprising 78 black and white images of the Rider-Waite deck along with regular and reversed meanings; and The Outer Methods of the Oracles which discusses the art of tarot divination, including the now famous Celtic Cross Spread.340 pp, bandw illus., pb.

Accurate item description and pics. Great packing job with great care and emphasis on ensuring the item arrived undamaged using minimum packing materials and with conscientious use of recycled materials. Super-fast shipment at reasonable rate and arriving ahead of schedule. Great communication before and after transaction. Highly recommended A+ / 5 Star seller! Definitely one of my new favorite sellers and will purchase from again. Can't say enough praise for this seller. Highly Recommended!!!!!

This sellers "two day" shipping policy is baloney - it took a over five days and repeated emails before this item shipped. I almost thought I would have to request a refund from eBay. That being said, when it did ship, it was nicely packaged and arrived undamaged. I would not buy from this person again because they don't honor their own policies! I can only leave positive feedback because 1) the item DID arrive, and 2) it was as described. The rest wasn't a great experience.

I dislike complaining, but I'm unhappy with this transaction. The deck/book set, described as "like new," was mailed in such a flimsy envelope that it arrived twisted out of shape, to the point where one of the cards was stuck to exposed glue inside. I wrote to the seller about the situation but received no response. I didn't ask for a return because the price wasn't high, but even at this price I expect more care in packaging. (I have ordered other items from this seller that arrived intact.)

    Waite-Smith Key to the Tarot

    A great beginner book, possibly even for seasoned readers as a touch up, follow-through explanations or as a reference book - a keeper. I've had several copies all marked up, underlined and referred back to as greater knowledge was attained. Not the end-all summary of everything ever known, but a true asset in the knowledge base. Whenever I read something new & different I always refer back to Waite-Smith. Read up on how these tarot cards were developed and the lives of its author/illustrator pair and you'll appreciate both the book and the cards ever-more!

    Thought there'd be more to this

    This book doesn't describe the cards with detail like you think it would being that the author designed their symbolism. Disappointed.

  • Spine cracked and disintegrated upon opening for first time

    Must have been stored in some pretty gnarly conditions. Otherwise looks new (but of course now unusable)
