Book Reviews of The Original Rider Waite Tarot Pack
Book Review: A Classic!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Original Rider-Waite Tarot Pack is a very good deck. However, the book is very small--the same size as the cards. In addition, the Celtic Cross Divinatory Chart is basically a small piece of paper stating where the cards go.
The pictures in this deck are much duller than the pictures in the other Rider-Waite Deck (or what's printed on the box, "The Rider Tarot Deck"). The pictures aren't as crisp in "The Original Rider Waite Tarot Pack," but for any lover of this deck it is a must. Again though, I do prefer the Rider-Waite-Smith deck that came out in the 1970s and was then called "the original." That deck is also available on amazon and has a picture of The Magician on the box.
I do love both decks and both are probably as close to the "original" as we can hope, but perhaps this deck--even though it's a bit duller--is the closest to the "original" as we could ever hope for.
Summary of The Original Rider Waite Tarot Pack
Facsimile edition of the Rider-Waite Tarot deck originally printed from plates that were destroyed during the bombing of London during World War II. The deck and book set comes with the Rider-Waite Tarot deck by Pamela Colman Smith with original Tudor Rose back design, Celtic Cross divinatory chart, and The Key to the Tarot by Arthur Edward Waite.General Books
