The Tarot

The Tarot

The Rider-Waite tarot with various esoteric correspondences. The titles of the cards (in quotes), are from the Golden Dawn, but they don’t always fit the imagery of the cards because this deck is based more on A.E. Waite’s Christian mysticism than pure Golden Dawn doctrine. One glaring example is with the court Pages. Their titles treat them as female because in the Golden Dawn (and other) systems princesses replace pages to keep the masculine/feminine polarity in balance (princess and queen, knight and king). Nevertheless, more often than not these titles give an accurate sense of the generally-accepted meanings of the cards.
