The Original Rider Waite Tarot Deck & Book

Rediscover the timeless beauty of the Rider Waite Tarot Deck & Book in this thoughtfully restored edition by Pamela C. Smith. While the 1909 version used vivid primary colors, this deck returns to the softer tones of the original palette. As a result, the muted shades reflect the Arts and Crafts style of the early 20th century, giving each card a more refined, vintage feel.

For example, in this original Rider Waite Tarot Deck edition, the pale blue skies in cards like The Star and The Wheel of Fortune now appear in a soft mint green. This subtle shift adds elegance and brings out new layers of meaning in the artwork. Because of these refined details, readers often feel a stronger emotional connection to the cards.

Rider Waite Tarot Deck & Book

Additionally, the card backs feature the original design of pale blue Tudor roses and lilies. This small but beautiful touch brings historical authenticity to every reading. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned reader, this deck invites you to explore tarot from a fresh perspective.

This original Rider Waite Tarot Deck also includes a Celtic Cross card-spread guide and an updated version of The Pictorial Key to the Tarot, written by Arthur Edward Waite. While staying true to Waite’s vision, the book provides helpful guidance and clear interpretations. Plus, Liz Greene contributes a powerful foreword that places tarot within both historical and psychological frameworks.

She describes the tarot as a “series of pictorial portrayals of the archetypal human life-journey.” Because of this deeper lens, readers can reflect more meaningfully on their own paths.

This edition is perfect for tarot collectors, history lovers, and seekers who value beauty with depth. Experience the cards the way they were first envisioned—subtle, symbolic, and quietly powerful.
