Description

Discover Swami Nirmalananda's unique method of reading the Tarot specifically for use with the Rider-Waite deck, giving detailed instructions on how to use the cards to develop your intuition for understanding the meanings of the cards.

Best known for his creation of the Rider-Waite Tarot deck, A. E. Waite wrote two booklets on Tarot divination for the private use of his own Rosicrucian Order. Though virtually unknown, Swami Nirmalananda discovered them by seeming chance and learned much useful instruction on the reading of the cards.

The great value of the Rider-Waite Tarot deck is its elaborate illustrations which are richly symbolic, in contrast to their traditional form. The cards were drawn by a professional illustrator, Pamela Colman Smith, under the supervision of Waite himself.

How to Read the Tarot is illustrated with color plates of each of the cards of the Rider-Waite deck with full explanations of their symbolism.
