The Pictorial Key to the Tarot

Developed by Arthur Edward Waite and drawn by Pamela Colman Smith, the Tarot cards have become the most widely used Tarot deck in the world today. Originally, these cards and their interpretations belonged to the secret doctrine of the mystical Order of the Golden Dawn, whose members Waite revealed the spiritual tradition of the West with his deck. In his detailed explanation of the Major Arcana, Waite shows the roots of the Tarot in Kabbalah and interprets the correct use of the cards as a "gateway to truth". The complete Tarot teaching by Arthur Edward Waite is internationally regarded as the classic basic work of every Tarot interpretation and is presented in this edition for the first time in German in its entirety.
