About Arthur Edward Waite
Arthur Edgar Waite (1857-1942) was one of the greatest interpreters of Western occultism and Christian philosophy. This great master lived a tormented life and was initiated into the Esoteric Order of the Golden Dawn in 1891, making an undeniable contribution to the Order’s religious creativity. Besides numerous works and essays, this author left us the great legacy The Pictorial Key to the Tarot, where the explanations and iconography of his tarots are described.
About the Waite Deck
The illustrations of the Waite Rider Tarot cards were designed in 1909 by Pamela Coleman Smith, under the direction of Arthur Edward Waite, and symbolize all the richness of life and its events.
This series of 78 allegorical illustrations was published that same year by William Rider and Son. These synergies gave birth to a tarot that sets the parameters for all subsequent tarot decks. According to Arthur Edward Waite, this Rider Waite Tarot presents itself as the rectifying tarot, filling the lack of a normative tarot that casts illustrations highlighting the mysticism, imagination, ritual, fantasy, and deep emotions of the artist.
All the cards in this tarot, even those of the minor arcana, present scenes complete with figures and symbols (instead of the mere enumeration of the number and suit).
Waite said that his Tarot is a symbolic representation of humanity’s collective memory, and he considers the cards to be important tools for self-knowledge.
