Weiser Tarot Deck

The Weiser Tarot is a new edition of the most popular and influential Tarot art ever created, the Rider-Waite-Smith deck, first published in 1909. The cards have been newly repainted—while, of course, preserving Pamela Colman Smith’s original line art—creating a fresh, flowing aesthetic. Additionally, the cards provide Hebrew and astrological correspondences to the Major Arcana—not included in the original Rider-Waite-Smith deck—for those seekers who have interest in Qabalah and astrology.

The accompanying book includes:

• A brief history of the Tarot
• A look at how the Rider-Waite-Smith deck came to be
• The story behind the creation of The Weiser Tarot
• Keywords for interpreting the cards
• Tarot spreads, including a new “Ankh” spread created especially for The Weiser Tarot
• An annotated list of recommended reading for further study

“There have been many re-workings of the classic Rider deck in recent years. This may be the best. Keeping Pamela Smith’s original line drawings but using vivid watercolors brings the cards vibrantly to life. In addition, the changing of skin tones to move beyond strictly White European moves the deck firmly into the new century.”
—Rachel Pollack, author of 78 Degrees of Wisdom: A Tarot Journey to Self-Awareness

“Beautifully done and poised to become the go-to tarot deck for the century to come, The Weiser Tarot is a vibrant and luminous refresh for the 1909 Rider-Waite-Smith that accentuates the elemental correspondences and updates this popular deck for modern readers.”
—Benebell Wen, author of Holistic Tarot
