A unique edition with bright texts, brilliant images, and historical reprints, this set provides everything that both beginner and advanced tarot users might need and desire to read cards for themselves and to study and experience this cultural treasure in all its beauty and significance. The valuable collector's case includes a complete deck of Waite Smith tarot cards and Waite's famous accompanying book, "The Key to the Tarot." In this illustrated book, with texts and images compiled by Johannes Fiebig, tarot cards become psychological mirrors and signs leading to new answers and personal solutions. The success of this approach is attributed to specific advantages possessed by the Waite-Smith cards, and these factors are illuminated in an essay by Rachel Pollack. All 78 cards are presented individually and in detail. The explanatory texts provide many dimensions and levels of interpretation, including specific practical advice. Additionally, the book offers a new feature: quick reference. This provides a concise indication of the meaning of each card in every possible position of all the spreads depicted in the book. When Arthur E. Waite and Pamela Colman Smith developed their tarot deck in London in 1909, no one could have imagined the incredible renaissance that would start about 60 years later. What were the lives, works, and passions of these creators? Pamela Colman Smith and Arthur E. Waite are vividly brought to life in the essays by Mary K. Greer and Robert A. Gilbert.
