The Tarot by A.E. Waite and P. Colman Smith

This edition offers a complete introduction to the famous cards of Arthur E. Waite and Pamela Colman Smith.

These sumptuous images and numerous documents on the history and use of these cards, accompanied by articles written by renowned tarot specialists, offer a unique cultural treasure for both novices and initiates.

The luxurious box set contains a complete deck of 78 Waite cards and his famous book The Key to the Tarot. In the large-format book with texts and illustrations compiled by Johannes Fiebig, tarot cards become psychological mirrors and guides leading to new answers and personal solutions, as Rachel Pollack emphasizes in her essay.

Each of the 78 cards is presented separately and in detail. The explanatory texts provide several dimensions and levels of interpretation, as well as practical and concrete advice.

In addition, this work includes a novelty: the quick check, which provides a precise indication of the meaning of each card in each possible position of all the drawing models presented in this book.

When Arthur E. Waite and Pamela Colman Smith developed their card deck in 1909, no one could have suspected that it would experience an incredible revival 60 years later.

What were the lives, works, and passions of these two creators? In their essays, Mary K. Greer and Robert A. Gilbert vividly bring Pamela Colman Smith and Arthur E. Waite back to life.
