Historical Note
The Rider-Waite-Smith tarot deck was first published in 1909. Artist Pamela Colman Smith created the illustrations under the direction of A.E. Waite. Prior to this deck, Minor Arcana cards used simple pip designs. The illustrated scenes we now associate with every card were Smith and Waite's innovation, transforming tarot into the contemplative tool millions use today.

One card gives you a direction. But in tarot, the meaning of any card depends on the cards around it. Death next to The Lovers means one thing.

A real reader sees the connections between them — and that is where the actual story lives. A 5-minute session with a professional tarot reader is free — and it will tell you more than an hour of studying card meanings alone. No obligation.

The cards have a way of showing you what you already sense but haven't named — that's been true in my practice for years.
