The Radiant Rider-Waite Tarot is a 78-card deck from U.S. Games Systems with an instruction booklet, Pamela Colman Smith's Rider-Waite artwork recolored by Virginijus Poshkus in a brighter palette with subtle shading in place of the thick black outlines. It suits readers who want the standard deck with more depth and color.
From the Publisher
Virginijus Poshkus has successfully undertaken the task of re-colorizing an iconic tarot deck and enhancing the beloved artwork created by Pamela Colman Smith. His carefully chosen palette of vibrant color brings new energy and radiance to the 78 cards of the Rider-Waite Tarot. The updated look replaces Smith's thick, black outlines with subtle shading that gives depth to the familiar scenes. Radiant Rider-Waite's enhanced brightness highlights the traditional symbolism that readers rely on for insightful readings. The card backs have also been given the fresh new look of a star-filled deep, blue sky. Radiant Rider-Waite Tarot includes an instruction booklet with an Introduction by Stuart R. Kaplan.

Ways to use it
What Is the Radiant Rider-Waite Tarot 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.
