The Original Rider Waite Tarot Deck: 78 beautifully illustrated cards and instructional booklet

Love this set 🫡

Great... Perfect... Had a distinct wooden smell in it's early days.

I was at first looking for the manual separately, couldn't find it. Read reviews again and the re visited my order item. Then I opened the tarot deck and I found the instructions manual inside. Its cute, small and handy. Overall fine Tarot deck. My first purchase.

This is a very good tarot deck. It allows smooth interpretation, while staying to the Rider Waite Smith tradition. The cards are colourful and invites flawless readings.

As a tarot reader and tutor with 12 years of experience, I can confidently say that the Original Rider Waite deck is the most reliable, intuitive, and powerful tool for both beginners and advanced readers. The symbolism is rich, the imagery speaks volumes, and every card feels energetically aligned. This deck has been my constant companion in thousands of readings and teaching sessions. If you're serious about learning or teaching tarot, this is the deck to start and grow with. It builds a strong foundation for intuitive reading and deep connection with the cards.

Babut achi quality hai ye cards ki...

As per order iam Happy.

The colour is not absolute many cards look faded and have no return policy

The deck is well printed and has a good design, the booklet is minimal but functional. You would obviously need some good manual to read the cards properly, but the white one does its job. The cardboard box in which the deck is contained is weak though, you will need a more rigid box in the long run, or you will need more care when transporting it.

Overall the deck is quite beautiful. There was some interesting cards in the deck, and some cards I didn’t exactly enjoy. In the second large photo, with the magician in the top left, where are the cards that I didn’t exactly enjoy. Much of the shading was too dark for the pictures, this was a reoccurring theme in the suit of pentacles. And even on some more lighthearted cards, the depiction was very dark and gloomy. This might be an issue for somebody who doesn’t know the rider Waite Smith pictures very well, but as I do it’s really not an issue for me, it’s just a little annoying. The first pictures with the full on the top left, we’re cards that I really did enjoy. Whether it was the shading on the cards, or the hombre background. My favorites were probably the aces of suits, as they were all just gorgeous and had a lot of great imagery. I mainly bought this deck for the colors used and immediately fell in love with his personality as soon as I laid my hands on it, the deck has a very bright bubbly and optimistic energy. The back of the cards is also something I do enjoy. I did not want a jack with the “picnic table print” on the back, as I wanted something more unique and I think I got just that. The booklet that comes with the cards is extremely helpful, if you read it. A lot of information and tips are stored in the little book and it looks beautiful on the outside. I will warn you, the book is quite challenging to read. The font of the text hard on my eyes, and the text is quite small. I think it does include a lot of valuable tips and tricks and some cool numerology. It does also give you definitions of each card and a description of the imagery, although this might not be very helpful as it’s hard to locate in the book. So I would recommend making the book your own by highlighting and bookmarking what you need. The material of the car to some thing I also do you enjoy. I don’t know exactly how to explain it but I did include a video of myself shuffling the cards. I hope that would help some of you understand the texture as it’s quite unique not not something I felt too much before. Another thing is the matte finish of the cards, they do quite easily slide around well holding them and trying to shuffle. But I wouldn’t really expect anything else from the matte finish of the cards. I would honestly prefer this way more than cards that are really shiny and stick together, so I’m perfectly OK with it. For those of you who still stick around, I am going to go more in depth with the individual cards pictured in the review. In the first set of cards with the cards I really like, we can talk about the six of swords. I really love the shading on this one as well as the nine of swords. I just think it’s a really great take on it. For the page of swords, I love the clouds and how they are textured. And the knight of cups was something thing I found truly interesting, with a white background this could some symbolize the purity and loving emotion of the card. As this is the only card in the deck with a completely white background, I was confused at first. But now looking in the card and reviewing it’s definition it doesn’t make a lot of sense. Next I’ll talk about some of the features I didn’t like in some of the card, in the suit of pentacles you can see a lot of the image he is quite dark and not very light even and more lighthearted cards. The ternal pentacles, which is supposed to represent abundance, security, and wealth, has a eerie vibe with all the dark shadows in the picture. Same thing with the lovers card, it feels like a dark presence is bringing these two people together. The rest of the cards were just hard to tell a part, as a lot of the imagery was kind of mushed together with the lack of discernment. I do still really love the cards but if course they all have some downsides.

Je kan zeer goede duidelijkheid hebben met deze kaarten eens je weet kan je heel goed in verdiepen ook goed voor beginners hou van deze kaarten

I'm very disappointed with my rider waite Tarot Deck. Arrived with no info on the cards. I won't be able to use them for for yoga retreats. I have to Google each card, hopeless 😔

A beautiful and sturdy deck that retains the original designs as well as being a nice thickness of card that also I have found do not tend to stick together like other decks I have used.
