	Tarot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Other esoteric decks include the Golden Dawn Tarot, which is apparently based on a deck by SL MacGregor Mathers and clearly based on the teachings of the Golden Dawn.
		Esoteric decks are often used in conjunction with the study of the Hermetic Qabala; in these decks the Major Arcana are illustrated in accordance with Qabalistic principles while the numbered suit cards (2 through 10) sometimes bear only stylized renderings of the suit symbol.
		A widely-used esoteric Tarot deck is Aleister Crowley's Thoth Tarot (pronounced /təʊt/ or /θɒθ/).

	BBC - h2g2 - Pamela Colman Smith - Tarot Artist
		The deck that Smith and Waite came up with was published by the Rider and Sons Company in 1909.
		Waite was working on a new tarot deck and, aware of Pamela’s artistic abilities, asked her to illustrate them.
		Many believe that it was the changes Colman Smith made to these minor cards that made the deck more accessible, allowing readings to be made by readers who didn’t have to remember the complex occult numerology, which lead to its success - nevertheless, she received no royalty on the sales.

		The Rider-Waite deck is very christian in it's symbology, with some Judaistic symbols (e.g.
		This deck and Waite's rather odd accompanying book remain classics of the genre not because of Waite's rather ditzy Golden Dawn orientation (or lack of it) but because of Coleman's informed but emotional take on the wide variety of symbols and nascent psychiatric images available to her.
		Waite's deck is good for both beginners and seasoned readers - it's easy enough to start with, but deep and complex enough for those who dig deep to find more and more meanings in it.

	Rider Waite Clones - Tarot Comparisons - A Picture Is Worth 1000 Words
		Closest Redrawings Closest Clones Not Using Pamela Colman-Smith Line Drawings - These decks are set in the same general medieval fairy-tale setting as the Rider-Waite, and range from near redrawings to decks which tends to be missing much of the background symbolism as a result of zooming in on the main figures on the card.
		And some "clones", like the Robin Wood deck, replace symbolism, thus changing the meaning from what A.E. Waite was trying to convey (for instance, replacing references to Christianity with references to Paganism).
		This deck uses a bare minimum of symbolism and is most notable for using marbled papers, constellation charts and antique maps in collage.

	Spiral Nature - Reviews - Book Reviews - Arthur Edward Waite
		Waite writes: ‘It is regrettable in several respects that I must confess to certain reservations, but there is a question of honour at issue.’ Nonetheless, the Rider-Waite-Smith deck is certainly among, if not the, most popular deck used today, and however vague Waite is, it is an important work.
		In Part II Waite gives a brief overview of the cards of the Major Arcana, with brief description of some of the symbolism, naturally vague and without expanding, and open to interpretation for the uninitiated, presumably assuming it is obvious to others.
		Part I outlines the Tarot’s assumed and actual history, and Waite’s accounts of other writers thesis on the origins of Tarot are interesting, though, of course, peppered with Waite’s usual snide remarks.

	Sakki-Sakki Tarot Review
		This deck could easily be used by a beginner, such as myself, but there is plenty of meaning and symbology included for the more advanced or serious reader, including Hebrew letters, numerology, planets and the Zodiac signs.
		It is a good deck to use when feeling "stuck", as it takes you out of your normal way of viewing Tarot (much as the Voyager Tarot deck does).
		It is a fun deck to read with, and would be a deck that I could offer my in person clients as a choice of decks.

	Tarot & Your Spiritual Path:Choosing Love by James Ricklef
		In many older decks, the Lovers card depicts a man who seems to be choosing between two women––sometimes where one appears to be a vamp and the other, a virgin––and Cupid, ready to let fly his arrow, hovers above them.
		This card’s allusion to the Garden of Eden, with its archetypal implications of temptation and pivotal decisions, is clear.
		Behind the woman, there is a serpent twined around an apple tree (symbolizing the Tree of Knowledge), and behind the man is a tree bearing twelve flames (symbolizing the Tree of Life).

	Leontine Cards
		In the Rider-Waite-Smith deck, 5 Wands illustrates a situation I refer to as "the staff meeting": five young men in colorful costumes wield their sticks in various directions—as expressions of themselves.
		The 6, in the Waite-Smith deck, depicts a laurel-crowned leader astride a white horse (perhaps the same equine from the SUN card?), with subordinates—who seem both wary and supportive—behind him.
		The image depicted on the Waite-Smith card is common to decks reaching back to medieval Europe, and includes two figures: a woman and a lion.

		And, therefore, a deck for blind folk has to be the same -- images of its own -- referring back to the source images, just as braille is read as English.
		A friend, who brailled the prototype deck that I drew, knows of a Tarot book in braille that he has used (when he wasn't picking my poor brains!).
		In the years I have been working on these designs, I have observed the fine readings a blind man does with only a regular deck brailled with the name and number of each card, and referring to his memory and intuition.
