SynopsisArthur Edward Waite was a profound scholar of the occult. He was a member of the Order of the Golden Dawn and made the tarot accessible to the reader with the release of his seminal work, The Pictorial Key to the Tarot, in 1909. The book is broken into three parts: "The Veil and Its Symbols" which provides a history of the tarot along with traditional symbols associated with each card; "The Doctrine of the Veil" comprising 78 black and white images of the Rider-Waite deck along with regular and reversed meanings; and "The Outer Methods of the Oracles" which discusses the art of tarot divination, including the now famous Celtic Cross Spread.340 pp, bandw illus., pb.

    Thought there'd be more to this

    This book doesn't describe the cards with detail like you think it would being that the author designed their symbolism. Disappointed.

  • Waite-Smith Key to the Tarot

    A great beginner book, possibly even for seasoned readers as a touch up, follow-through explanations or as a reference book - a keeper. I've had several copies all marked up, underlined and referred back to as greater knowledge was attained. Not the end-all summary of everything ever known, but a true asset in the knowledge base. Whenever I read something new & different I always refer back to Waite-Smith. Read up on how these tarot cards were developed and the lives of its author/illustrator pair and you'll appreciate both the book and the cards ever-more!
