Rider-Waite Tarot Pocket Edition (78 cards)

The Rider-Waite Tarot Pocket Edition is a compact version of one of the world's most renowned tarot decks. This 78-card deck follows the classic design that has made the Rider-Waite Tarot famous for over a century.

The History of the Rider-Waite Tarot

The Rider-Waite Tarot first appeared in December 1909 and grew to become one of the most popular esoteric card decks in the world. Over the years, this deck has become known by various names, such as Rider-Waite-Smith, Waite-Smith, Waite-Colman Smith, or simply the Rider Tarot. The illustrations were designed by artist Pamela Colman Smith, under the guidance of Arthur Edward Waite. The symbolism in the cards is derived from the work of the 19th-century occultist Eliphas Levi. Although the images may appear simple and almost childlike at first glance, they are full of layered symbolism.

Compact Size: The Pocket Edition

This edition of the Rider-Waite Tarot comes in a smaller, compact size. This means the deck takes up little space, making it practical for carrying the cards with you or storing them in a smaller area. The content of the deck remains identical to the classic Rider-Waite Tarot, with all 78 cards.

Illustrated Manual

This tarot deck includes an illustrated manual, which helps both novice and experienced tarot users to better understand the meaning of the cards and their symbolism.
