A fresh and vibrant reimagining of the classic 1909 Waite-Smith tarot.

The Weiser Tarot is a new edition of the most popular and influential Tarot art ever created, the Rider-Waite-Smith deck, first published in 1909.

Additionally, the cards provide Hebrew and astrological correspondences to the Major Arcana-not included in the original Rider-Waite-Smith deck-for those seekers who have interest in Qabalah and astrology.

The accompanying book includes:

A brief history of the Tarot A look at how the Rider-Waite-Smith deck came to be The story behind the creation of The Weiser Tarot Keywords for interpreting the cards Tarot spreads, including a new Ankh spread created especially forThe Weiser Tarot An annotated list of recommended reading for further study

The Weiser Tarot was created to speak to your own personal Tarot needs and desires. Whether you are new to the Tarot or a seasoned card reader, you can use The Weiser Tarot for divination, fortune-telling, self-transformation, spellcasting, or any other purpose.

Arthur Edward Waite (1857-1942), commonly known as A. E. Waite, was an American-born British poet and scholarly mystic who wrote extensively on occult and esoteric matters and was the co-creator of the Rider-Waite Tarot deck. Pamela Colman Smith (1878-1951), also nicknamed Pixie, was a British artist, illustrator, writer, publisher, and occultist. She is best known for illustrating the Rider-Waite tarot deck in collaboration with Arthur Edward Waite. This tarot deck became the standard among tarot card readers and remains the most widely used today. Colman also illustrated over twenty books, wrote two collections of Jamaican folklore, edited two magazines, and ran the Green Sheaf Press, a small press focused on women writers

Reviews for The Weiser Tarot: A New Edition of the Classic 1909 Smith-Waite Deck

What a delight. What I most love about The Weiser Tarot is that it is nuanced and rich in hues. The subtle blues and purples give a deeper and more mysterious feel to the whole deck. It takes you into the realms of mystery with ease and speaks to the symbolism with more mood and immediacy. Bravo! --Alexandra Eldridge, co-creator of The Radiant Tarot
