The Encyclopedia of Tarot, Volume III |
unpublished and raredetailed and workThe Encyclopedia of Tarot, Volume III outlines startling similarities between the Rider Waite deck and a 15th century pack, and features 7,000 cards from 400 unpublished or rare decks. A detailed chapter is devoted to the life and work of the Rider Waite artist, Pamela Colman Smith. The Rider Waite Tarot did not come only from Smith's involvement with the Order of The Golden Dawn. The deck was a natural continuation of the visions that Smith saw and painted while listening to music. Smith's experience in theater, set design and costume also formed the deck, as did such diverse interests as the Celtic Revival, and Japanese art.
