The Pictorial Key to the Tarot | Free Book
A. E. Waite
First published in 1911, “The Pictorial Key to the Tarot” is a guide
to the divinatory tarot deck by A. E. Waite. An American-born British
poet and mystic, Waite is famed for co-creating the Rider-Waite tarot
deck, sometimes referred to as the Rider-Waite-Smith deck. While there
were many tarot decks created and distributed around the world prior
to this, the Rider-Waite deck was the first to become widely famous.
It was also the first to illustrate all 78 cards fully when most decks
only illustrated the 22 Major Arcana cards. Waite extensively
researched the significance of each card’s symbolism and deeper
meaning as part of the creation of the deck and shares these insights
in “The Pictorial Key to the Tarot”. In addition to a discussion of
the significance of each card and the images that appear on it, Waite
also includes instructions on how to conduct a reading. Waite’s guide
remains as useful as when it was first written a century ago and is an
essential addition to the library of anyone who practices the tarot or
wishes to learn more about its meaning.
