The Pictorial Key to the Tarot by Arthur Edward Waite

Title Information
The Waite Deck, as it has come to be known, is one of the most popular classic Tarot decks available.  Developed under the direction of scholar and mystic, Arthur Edward Waite, and executed by the artist Pamela Colman Smith, it clearly, cleanly, and simply embodies centuries of lore that has developed around the Tarot in its many forms.  This book is the "key" to this version of the Tarot in particular, and the Tarot overall in general. As its subtitle attests, Being Fragments of a Secret Tradition under the Veil of Divination, Waite deals with the inner, esoteric side of the Tarot as a key along the path of development.  At the same time, he treats fully of the use of the deck as a means of "divination" or of seeing into the structure and processes of the cosmos as the shape the destiny of the individual.

Fully illustrated with the complete Major and Minor arcana represented.
