About Arthur Edward Waite
\n
Arthur Edward Waite (1857-1942) was one of the greatest interpreters of Western occultism and Christian philosophy. This master lived a tormented life and initiated himself into the Esoteric Order of the Golden Dawn in 1891, making an undeniable contribution to the creativity of the Order's religious practices. In addition to numerous works and essays, this author left us with the great legacy The Pictorial Key to the Tarot, which describes the explanations and iconography of his tarots.

About the Waite Deck
\n
The illustrations for the Rider-Waite Tarot cards were drawn in 1909 by Pamela Coleman Smith under the direction of Arthur Edward Waite. This series of 78 allegorical illustrations was published that same year by William Rider and Son. These collaborations resulted in a tarot that set the parameters for all subsequent tarot decks. According to Arthur Edward Waite, this Rider-Waite Tarot presents itself as the rectified tarot, filling the gap for a normative tarot that emphasizes illustrations highlighting mysticism, imagination, ritual, fantasy, and deep emotions of the artist. All cards in this tarot, even those of the minor arcana, depict complete scenes with figures and symbols (rather than just enumerating quantity and suit).
