Tarot Waite

The Waite Pack : The Waite pack in many ways revolutionized the Tarot in the 20th century. Designed by Arthur Edward Waite, a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (see Symbol Systems and Occult Systems), and painted by Pamela Colman, the Waite (or "Rider") pack set an example followed by many later packs. The cards of the minor arcana show scenes rather than merely the number of symbols from the suit, and this extends the scope of the diviner in his or her interpretation of the images. This is one reason for the pack's popularity around the world, despite a proliferation of other Tarot packs during the last twenty-five years.
