Product Description
In 1909, artist Pamela Colman Smith, under the direction of Arthur Edward Waite, created an innovative 78-card tarot deck that would come to be recognized as revolutionary. With descriptive pictures on the 56 Minor Arcana cards, the Rider-Waite deck digressed from the tradition of tarot decks used for centuries and set the standard for nearly every tarot deck published. The world's most popular tarot deck! Card titles and instruction booklet in Spanish.

 CARDS, 2008-05-09
The cards were too small and the descriptions in the box did not match the info from the website. Overall not bad.

 A Good Deck for Beginners, 2008-02-25
This is a good deck to start with before your skill level rises to where you want to chose another "more exotic" deck.

Pop Icon now, totally different then..., 2007-09-06
I was able to get my hands on a rare 1st printing of this now classic gem of Tarot. It has been the basis of all modern decks to follow. The colors are a bit more accurate in this edition. The texture is different from modern editions; less shiny and somehow more vibrant than more modern printings. The backs are unimaginitive with those horridly busy lines. Turn them over and there is a modern pop image that is recognizable to anyone that has ever seen the cards. Interestingly, this early edition from 1971 was not published by U.S Games, rather Samuel Weiser.
I remember my first encounter with these cards was in 1985. It was a little creepy looking at the then, unfamiliar images. There was not many other decks to choose from at that time. I began memorization of each card and tried my first consultation for myself. I was not put off by lurid rumors after that initial year. I would move on to other decks through the years. These cards would be referenced for many readings to come. Looking back, this was an invaluable lesson for myself.

Be all that you can be ............., 2007-09-02
There are many unusual packs of Tarot cards on todays market, many apparently aimed at various deviant groups and which employ symbolism peculiar to that deviancy. The Rider-Waite deck is not applicable to such groups but rather to the majority (one hesitates to use the word 'Normal') of us who tend to share similar archetypes, or symbols.
Designed by Dr. Arthur Waite and executed by the artist Pamela Smith, the deck is crisply and carefully printed in full color by U.S. Games System Inc., recognizing normal symbology and presenting it's greatest utility to the majority of Tarot students.
For a first deck (and even perhaps your only Tarot deck) you simply cannot go wrong! Something that is not necessarily true if you wish to use the various "collector" decks.
