This book by Arthur Edward Waite, the designer of the most widely known Tarot deck and distinguished scholar of the Kabbalah, is the essential Tarot reference. Arthur Edward Waite was born on Octoin Brooklyn, New York. Centuries of scientific progress have not diminished the irresistible attraction of gazing at picture cards to see the future and determine one's fate. ![]() There is a lot of cool stuff in this book, some hard facts that seem to perfectly describe each card in detail, and I find it interesting that so many sources say so many different things given the creator himself, of the most popular deck that most decks are based off, wrote a book on it with explicit details about each card's meaning, upright and reversed.Long used in telling fortunes and popular today among New Agers, Tarot cards are regarded by many as "the training wheels" on the bicycle of psychic development. I still believe intuition guides it all, and it seems like Waite does as well (he describes context of the card and question being the most important), but I find it interesting that all these LWB and online sources differ from exactly what the creator of the deck described they mean. So, who here has actually read it and come close to learning the creator's meanings of the cards?ĭo you subscribe to the meanings, or do you go off the LWB of your deck and consider it the source of truth? How do you pick and choose which meanings to use? There is a hell of a lot of details here that I wish I knew earlier, details that I don't see online or in LWBs. I assumed that basically, it was all intuition, which I still believe it mostly is, but before because there was no "source of truth".īut then I found this book - the creator of the deck everyone is using described all the meanings and a lot more even, like what it means for 3 Kings to show up in a reading, how to do a celtic cross in detail, and other spreads that are MUCH more complicated than anything I see in this sub. The pictorial key to the tarot being fragments of a secret tradition under the veil of divination by Waite, Arthur Edward, 1857-1942. So, I've been looking for a single source of truth on Tarot meanings, and when I look at the LWB for each deck and online sources, they usually differ significantly.
