Giant Rider-Waite Tarot
The Giant Rider-Waite presents the iconic 1909 imagery of Pamela Colman Smith at a significantly larger scale, making every symbol and detail easy to see and study. This is especially useful for beginners who are learning to connect with the visual language of the cards for the first time, but experienced readers also find that working with larger images can bring a new kind of focus to a single card. The deck was named one of the Top Ten Tarot Decks of All Time by Aeclectic Tarot.
Over de makers
Pamela Colman Smith was a British artist, illustrator, and writer who designed the Rider-Waite-Smith deck in 1909 for occultist Arthur Edward Waite. Born in Pimlico, she studied art at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn under Arthur Wesley Dow before returning to England to build a career as an illustrator and theatrical designer. Smith and Waite were both members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and Waite chose her for the project partly because of her artistic skill and partly because of her clairvoyant abilities. She was paid a flat fee for her work and did not receive ongoing royalties. In recent years the tarot community has worked to restore her name to the deck, increasingly referring to it as the Rider-Waite-Smith or RWS deck. She died in Bude, Cornwall in 1951.
