Original Rider Waite Tarot Deck - Classic 78-Card Tarot Pack

The World's Most Iconic Tarot Deck

Begin or deepen your tarot journey with the Original Rider Waite Tarot Deck—the world's most popular and recognizable tarot cards, beloved by beginners and experienced readers alike since 1909. This complete 78-card deck features Pamela Colman Smith's iconic artwork that revolutionized tarot by illustrating all 56 Minor Arcana cards with meaningful scenes, making readings more intuitive and accessible than ever before.

The Deck That Changed Tarot Forever

Published in 1909 by Arthur Edward Waite and illustrated by Pamela Colman Smith, this deck transformed tarot reading forever. Before the Rider Waite deck, most tarot decks only illustrated the 22 Major Arcana cards, leaving the Minor Arcana as simple pip cards (like regular playing cards). Smith's revolutionary decision to illustrate all 78 cards with symbolic scenes made tarot accessible to everyone, allowing readers to interpret cards through imagery rather than memorizing abstract meanings.

Why the Rider Waite Remains the Standard

Over a century later, the Rider Waite deck remains the foundation of modern tarot. Most tarot books, courses, and learning resources reference this deck's imagery and symbolism. Countless modern decks are based on or inspired by the Rider Waite system. Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced reader exploring a new deck, the Rider Waite provides the clearest, most universally understood tarot language.
