Rider-Waite Tarot has set the standard for hundreds of other tarot decks, which follow the archetypal images created by Pamela Colman Smith in 1909 under the direction of Arthur Edward Waite. This edition includes Smith’s original hand drawn titles.

"A unique feature of the Rider-Waite deck, and one of the principal reasons for its enduring popularity, is that all of the cards, including the Minor Arcana, depict full scenes with figures and symbols.

Prior to the Rider-Waite Tarot, the pip cards of almost all tarot decks were marked only with the arrangement of the suit signs -- swords, wands, cups, and coins, or pentacles. The pictorial images on all the cards allow interpretations without the need to repeatedly consult explanatory text.

The innovative Minor Arcana, and Pamela Colman Smith's ability to capture the subtleties of emotion and experience have made the Rider-Waite Tarot a model for the designs of many tarot packs." -- (from The Encyclopedia of Tarot, Volume III)

Rider-Waite Tarot was named one of the Top Ten Tarot Decks of All Time by Aeclectic Tarot.

In 1909, artist Pamela Coleman Smith, under the direction of Arthur Edward Waite,created an innovative 78-card tarot deck that would come to be recognized as revolutionary.

With descriptive pictures on the 56 Minor Arcana cards,the Rider-Waite deck digressed from the tradition of tarot decks used for centuries and set the standard for nearly every tarot deck published since that time..

NEW SALES TAX COLLECTION LAWS

We are now required by law to collect sales tax in many states.

On June 21, 2018, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled in favor of a case (the state in South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc)  to allow taxation on remote sales (online sales). This means that many states now require sales tax to be collected for them.

Implementation of this ruling began in Jan 2019---and the list of states is growing
