The Pictorial Key to the Tarot Book

Arthur Edward Waite was a highly regarded scholar of the occult and a member of the Order of the Golden Dawn. In 1909, he published “The Pictorial Key to the Tarot,” a groundbreaking work that made the tarot more accessible to the general public. The book is divided into three parts. The first part, “The Veil and Its Symbols,” provides a history of the tarot and discusses the traditional symbols associated with each card. The second part, “The Doctrine of the Veil,” features 78 black and white images of the Rider-Waite tarot deck and includes the regular and reversed meanings of each card. The final part, “The Outer Methods of the Oracles,” discusses the art of tarot divination, including the famous Celtic Cross Spread.
