About this title

Synopsis

A fresh and vibrant reimagining of the classic Rider-Waite-Smith tarot deck in a new mini format.
 
The Mini Weiser Tarot is a pocket-sized edition of the bestselling Weiser Tarot, which is based on the 1909 Rider-Waite-Smith deck―the most popular and influential tarot deck ever created.
 
This handy mini deck features seventy-eight tarot cards plus a title card. The newly repainted cards preserve Pamela Colman Smith’s original line art, creating a fresh, flowing aesthetic with more inclusive coloration. The Mini Weiser Tarot provides Hebrew and astrological correspondences to the Major Arcana―not included in the original Rider-Waite-Smith deck―for seekers with an interest in Qabalah and astrology.
 
Praise for The Weiser Tarot:
“There have been many reworkings of the classic Rider deck in recent years. This may be the best.”
―Rachel Pollack

Designed for tarot enthusiasts and collectors alike, The Mini Weiser Tarot can be used for divination, fortune-telling, self-transformation, spellcasting, or any other purpose.

About the Authors

Arthur Edward Waite (1857–1942), commonly known as A. E. Waite, was an American-born British poet and scholarly mystic who wrote extensively on occult and esoteric matters and was the cocreator of the Rider-Waite tarot deck.

Pamela Colman Smith (1878–1951), nicknamed Pixie, was a British artist, illustrator, writer, publisher, and occultist. She is best known for illustrating the Rider-Waite tarot deck in collaboration with Arthur Edward Waite. This tarot deck became the standard among tarot-card readers and remains the most widely used today. Colman also illustrated over twenty books, wrote two collections of Jamaican folklore, edited two magazines, and ran the Green Sheaf Press, a small press focused on women writers.
