Rider-Waite Tarot has set the standard for hundreds of other tarot decks, which follow the archetypal images created by Pamela Colman Smith in 1909. Her vibrant drawings continue to appeal to tarot lovers, especially those learning the tarot symbolism for the first time. The full pictorial images on all 78 cards allow interpretations without the need to consult the booklet. The Giant Rider-Waite Deck is particularly helpful for beginners as they can readily observe all the details and connect deeply with the enlarged tarot imagery. The Giant Rider Waite Deck also encourages tarot readers to focus and concentrate on a single card at a time, fully exploring its meanings.Rider-Waite Tarot was named one of the Top Ten Tarot Decks of All Time by Aeclectic Tarot.See also: Rider-Waite Tarot Deck, Rider-Waite Tarot -- Premier Edition, Pocket Rider-Waite Tarot, Miniature Rider-Waite Tarot, Spanish Rider-Waite Tarot, French Rider-Waite Tarot, 6-unit Rider-Waite Gravity Feed Display, Original Rider-Waite Tarot Set, Tarot Total Rider-Waite Deck/Book Set, The Golden Rider Tarot, Albano-Waite Tarot Deck, and Radiant Rider-Waite Tarot.
Ways to use it
What Is the Giant Rider-Waite Tarot Deck Used For?
-
A first deck
The Rider-Waite-Smith imagery is the core symbolism most decks build on. Learn it, and you can pick up almost any other deck and read with it. -
A daily pull
Draw one card in the morning and notice how it shows up over the day. -
Full spreads
Lay out a spread, such as past, present and future, when you want the bigger picture. -
Reading for others
Read for friends and family. -
Quick answers
Pull a single card for a yes or no, or a fast read on a question. -
Learning the cards
Work through the deck one card a day. Write what you see in the morning, note what happens during the day, and journal about it that night. -
Journaling
Write about the card you drew: what you see in it, and what it brings up. -
Shadow work
Sit with a card that unsettles you and write about why. -
Meditating on a card
Set one card where you can see it and let its imagery hold your attention. -
Altar and spellwork
Stand a card on your altar as the focus of a working, so its symbolism points your thinking where you want your life to go. -
New and full moon readings
Pull cards at the new moon to set intentions and at the full moon to see what's grown. -
Holiday readings
Do a reading for a sabbat, a birthday or the new year. -
With a pendulum
If you're not sure how you're reading a card, hold a pendulum over it to check. -
Paired with another deck
Pull an oracle card alongside a tarot spread for extra context. -
In our house
Everyone in our household reads cards, and this is one of the decks we reach for. -
Who it suits
It suits beginners, experienced readers and art lovers, and it makes a good gift. -
A new deck
Cleanse it, go through the cards one at a time so you get used to each other, then spread the cards face down on a favorite surface and swirl them together like a lake. Every card gets turned every which way, so the deck starts out well mixed. Our guide to reading tarot walks through your first reading. -
Reversals
A reversed card doesn't always mean the opposite. Read it with the card's imagery and your intuition; sometimes it points to a blockage instead. -
Storage
Keep the cards stacked neatly in their box or a bag. A crystal on top is a nice touch.
