The Rider-Waite Tarot is a classic Tarot deck, perhaps the most well-known in the Western world. It is often called the first modern Tarot deck, as the cards drawn by Pamela Colman-Smith and commissioned by Waite were the first to use detailed pictures on the minor arcana cards.

The Rider-Waite tarot deck is considered the gold standard among the tarot community. This deck offers vibrant and classic interpretations of each major and minor arcana card.
Although this deck originated in 1909, it still remains one of the best tarot decks in any collection. I definitely recommend this deck if you’re completely new to tarot because most of the tarot card meaning descriptions are based on this tarot deck.
