Please Note: All Our Decks are Original Published by the Copyright Owner & thus provide profits to the Artist, Writer & Publisher. There are now many Counterfeit Chinese decks, that means they have been stolen from the real owners. They do not provide profits to the people who created them. Counterfeit decks are made from thinner card material, rarely include a guidebook and usually can be spotted because the seller offers an "E" guidebook you can download online. Even the guidebooks are stolen as they are offered by the original publisher to wholesalers to assure they know what is inside them. I am an American Veteran & this is a Family Run Business.

The Radiant Rider-Waite Tarot Deck infuses bold bright colors into the world's most popular traditional deck first designed by Pamela Coman Smith.
I believe you will love this deck, it is more in step with the 21st century and yet carries all the old tradition of the original Rider Waite Deck published back in 1909.
The original cards were drawn by illustrator Pamela Colman Smith from the instructions of academic and mystic A. E. Waite, and first published by the Rider Company. The new Radiant Rider Waite, has been infused with bold color by Virginijus Poshkus for US Games.
History of the Rider Waite Decks
Mr Waite, though born in America, spent most of his life in England. He was a scholar of occultism, and became known for taking a logical, systematic approach to spiritual and occult studies. This symbolic Tarot deck captured much of the abstract realm of Tarot reading and made it easily understood for the average person.
The cards were originally published in December 1909 by William Rider And Son of London. The deck was the product of a collaborative effort between artist, Pamela Colman Smith (born 1878 died 1951) and Dr Arthur Edward Waite (born 1857 died 1942.) Both Smith and Waite were members of the Order Of The Golden Dawn, a famous occult group of the 19th Century. For some reason (sexism no doubt), Pamela Smiths' contribution is usually ignored, and the deck is commonly called the Rider-Waite Tarot.
The symbols used were influenced by the 19th century magician and occultist Eliphas Levi.
During WWII, the original printing plates for this deck were destroyed in a bomb raid. At some point in the early part of
the last century Random House purchased the rights to reproduce the deck in the USA and they subcontracted those rights to US Games.
U.S. Games, who currently claims copyright on the cards, although the actual copyright may only be valid on certain colorized versions of the cards, which would include this spectacularly colored Radiant Tarot Deck.
Included in this awesome protective tin is an excellent instruction booklet taken directly from A.E. Waite's The Key To The Tarot,
which includes the most famous spread, the Celtic Cross.

I have taught metaphysics since 1972, I know the tarot and have taught extensive classes on it.
Understanding the basic archetypes and thus tying all cards to them will escalate your learning curve. Everything in the worlds of creation are tied to the nine archetypes along with the four elements. When you understand this, you will have the basics of creation and the Tarot will come to life for you.
Learning the Tarot opens doors to understanding who you are. It is not fortune telling as some believe it to be, due to those of lesser consciousness who use it for personal greed. It was designed as a spiritual tool to help you understand yourself and your world. Please treat as the sacred object it is. Always clear and bless your deck and keep it wrapped or boxed in something you treasure.
If you want to learn more about the archetypes, please google my name and the word archetypes, and several radio programs will come up. I have done over 1500 radio shows on numerous metaphysical topics. In the Fall of 2009, I did at least two shows on archetypes and you should find them easily through google. Michele Avanti
