This beautiful lidded box contains the influential and popular Rider Waite Smith tarot deck along with an introductory 48-page book to tarot readings. The iconic Rider Waite Smith deck was illustrated by Pamela Colman Smith on the instructions of academic and mystic A E Waite in 1909. It has since become one of most popular tarot decks of all time, celebrated for its bold and romantic designs which are rich in symbolism and hidden meanings. Unlike other tarot decks of the time, the Rider Waite Smith deck has fully illustrated card designs on not only the Major Arcana and Court Cards but also the Minor Arcana.
