Detailed description:
Rider-Waite Tarot has set the standard for hundreds of other tarot decks, which follow the archetypal images created by Pamela Colman Smith in 1909under the direction of Arthur Edward Waite. This edition includes Smith’s original hand drawn titles.”A unique feature of the Rider-Waite deck, and one of the of the principal reasons for its enduring popularity, is that all of the cards, including the Minor Arcana, depict full scenes with figures and symbols. Prior to the Rider-Waite Tarot, the pip cards of almost all tarot decks were marked only with the arrangement of the suit signs — swords, wands, cups, and coins, or pentacles. The pictorial images on all the cards allow interpretations without the need to repeatedly consult explanatory text. The innovative Minor Arcana, and Pamela Colman Smith’s ability to capture the subtleties of emotion and experience have made the Rider-Waite Tarot a model for the designs of many tarot packs.” — (from The Encyclopedia of Tarot, Volume III)Rider-Waite Tarot was named one of the Top Ten Tarot Decks of All Time by Aeclectic Tarot.Pamela Colman SmithBorn February 16, 1878, in Middlesex, England to American parents, Smith’s childhood years were spent between London, New York, and Kingston, Jamaica. During her teens, she traveled throughout England with the theatre company of Ellen Terry and Henry Irving. Thereafter, she began formal art training at Pratt Institute of Brooklyn, graduating in 1897.Smith returned to England, where she became a theatrical designer for miniature theatre, and an illustrator — mainly of books, pamphlets and posters. Around 1903, she joined the Order of the Golden Dawn. In 1909, under the guidance of Arthur Edward Waite, she undertook a series of seventy-eight allegorical paintings described by Waite as a rectified tarot pack. The designs, published in the same year by William Rider and Son, exemplify the mysticism, ritual, imagination, fantasy, and deep emotions of the artist.Arthur Edward WaiteBorn in America in 1857, Waite was raised and educated as a Catholic in England. Beginning at the age of 21, Waite pursued research and writing on psychical and esoteric matters. Soon after joining the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, he became the Grand Master, and redirected the focus of the order from magic to mysticism. The Golden Order, whose structural hierarchy was based on the Kabbalah, is considered the single greatest 20th century influence on the occult. Waite was a prolific author of occult texts, works on the Holy Grail, and the body of mystical knowledge, which comprises the basis of modern Tarot. He is best known as the co-creator of the Rider-Waite Tarot deck and author of its companion volume The Pictorial Key to the Tarot, first published in 1910.

I’m not new to tarot, but surprisingly had never bought the Rider Waite deck over the years! This deck is great for beginners (and seasoned tarot readers), as the illustrations / symbols are very clear in the artwork, making them easier to interpret. My only suggestion is that it should come with a book, especially for beginners. This deck comes with a small booklet, which isn’t enough to explain the cards’ interpretations. Other than that, the cards are good quality and size, and I would recommend to purchase!

Bought it as a backup since my centennial is getting stiffer with use.

Good condition. the box was taped closed, so the box isn’t perfect, but I like that that guaranteed none of the cards got lost in transit.

I loved the deck, original back of blue diamond plaid, the stock of the cards is very nice. No stickiness, that is a big plus for me. I use these cards in between some other decks when I just want the original rider tarot deck. RWD is still an go to along with the Thoth for me. I am digging into Astrology, so I am moving into other decks. But, my go to is the original RWD or RWS. When no season is upon me, this is one I grab.
Affordable, card stock is nice, durability seems to be holding up also. Would buy again.

It’s the original, however you make sure what size you really want.
I was expecting them to be a bit bigger.
Just make sure what deck you are buying.
You may see their reviews on YouTube or something to get a good look and idea about them.
Other than that, everything is perfect.
Be blessed.

I recently purchased the Rider Tarot Deck, and it has quickly become one of my favorite tarot decks! The quality of the cards is excellent—they’re sturdy, have a nice finish, and feel great to shuffle. The classic artwork is vibrant and detailed, making each reading feel special and insightful.
As someone who’s relatively new to tarot, I’ve found this deck incredibly user-friendly. The symbolism is clear and easy to understand, which has really helped me get more confident with my readings. The included guidebook is also super helpful, providing concise explanations for each card.
Even if you’re an experienced tarot reader, this deck is a must-have. The timeless imagery and traditional meanings make it a valuable addition to any collection. Plus, it’s great for connecting with the deeper roots of tarot.
Overall, I’m extremely pleased with my purchase. The Rider Tarot Deck is perfect for both beginners and seasoned readers, offering quality and authenticity. Highly recommend!
