Description In 1909 artist Pamela Colman Smith’s involvement with the order of the Golden Dawn led to a commission from Arthur Edward Waite to create a 78 card tarot deck. Pamela’s varied mystical influences are evident throughout the deck. Once considered revolutionary, the Rider Waite deck has set the standard for hundreds of other decks. This original Rider Waite tarot pack includes the 78 card Rider Waite tarot deck with original tudor rose back design, celtic cross divinatory chart and the 160 page key to the tarot book.
