Tarot Original 1909 [Book]

The companion volume to the Tarot Original 1909 — a faithful restoration of Pamela Colman Smith and A. E. Waite's landmark 1909 deck. Sasha Graham takes readers card by card through the deck that shaped modern tarot.

Tarot Original 1909 Book is a deep dive into all seventy-eight cards of the Rider-Waite-Smith system, the most widely used tarot in the world. Graham draws out the symbolism and intuitive meanings of each card while restoring the context of its 1909 origins — the collaboration between occultist A. E. Waite and artist Pamela Colman Smith, both members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. The book pairs Graham's contemporary guidance with the historical roots of these images, making it a companion for both new readers and those returning to the source.
