Excerpts From
Waite's "The Pictorial Key to the Tarot" |
Tarot As Seen by
A. E. Waite and Pamela Coleman |
| Most of us started our journey into the world of
Tarot with the deck created by A.E. Waite and illustrated by Pamela
Coleman Smith. Being so, it seems only fitting that actual work of
these purveyors of modern Tarot be given a space to be studied by
all. In that spirit I have created this section filled with their
writing and art. The text is from Waite's "The Pictorial Key to the
Tarot." The images are scans of the earliest Rider-Waite Deck I
could find (circa 1910). Click the links to below to read A. E .
Waite's interpretation of the different tarot cards. The thumbnail
images throughout the text are linked to larger images of the Tarot
cards created by Pamela Coleman Smith. |
