  Universal Waite tarot deck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Universal Waite tarot deck is based on original line drawings for the Rider-Waite-Smith deck by Pamela Colman Smith.
It is not known whether the flat, slightly garish colours used in the standard Rider-Waite were Smith's idea or her publisher's -- especially since the Original Rider-Waite Tarot, a facsimile edition of the deck as it first appeared in 1907, shows slightly deeper, richer colours.
The Universal deck first appeared in the early 1990s.

This was not the first deck, but the research done by the golden dawn and its members helped shape the views of the Tarot and the western philosophies of the mysteries.

 The Epicurean Tarot: Recipes to Nourish Your Body, Mind, and Spirit
While the style is light and breezy, the Epicurean Tarot is a sound introduction to the longstanding symbolism, structure, and meaning of the tarot — making it an invaluable tool for those who crave more spiritual meaning in their everyday lives, as well as a great guide for cooks and connoisseurs.

 Tarot
While Crowley's Thoth deck developed to incorporate Qabalistic theory along the lines of the developing OTO ("Ordo Templi Orientis") and Golden Dawn systems, A.E. Waite's interpretation of the Tarot stands today virtually as the standard by which all Tarot decks are judged.
Many who seek the services of a Tarot reader or psychic are concerned with a "surface" problem that has manifested in their life, but refuse to deal with the underlying issues that cause the problem.
The Tarot's unique development from its origins as a simple parlor game, to its evolution as a divinatory tool, to its more modern development as a means for self-development and awareness, provides a tempting, elaborate, and many-faceted subject that can engage the interest of historians, mystics and occultists alike.

 The Symbolism of A. E. Waite's Tarot "Chariot"
Waite admits that he chose the motif used by Eliphas Levi, a writer who obviously had much influence on Waite (though, unlike Crowley, who thought Levi was his immediate former incarnation, Waite whines about admitting this influence).
While Waite depicts this symbol with no border, aprons often were trimmed with red or blue or some other color, depending on the rank of the wearer or the rite for which the apron was dedicated.
However, there is much more than fortune-telling to tarot, and the more one knows about the complexity of the symbolism and the more one knows the truth about the symbolism, the better chance he will have to make accurate applications of the symbolism, in whatever usage he may make of the cards.

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.
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.
For all A.E Waite did to attract English-speakers to notions of the esoteric doctrine, he did not offer a profound grasp of the true teaching, and his commentaries are evidence that he was more of an intellectual esoterist rather than a practical one.

The author - Arthur Edward Waite - was a high adept of the original Golden Dawn society and was initiated into the mysteries of not only ceremonal magic, but also of the Tarot Keys, and he pumped his tremendous knowledge and expertiese into this pack - making it highly suitable for meditation and divination.
