The 'Waite' Is Over

Halo ONE'in'All.

The 'Waite' is over! As some of you may or may not know, this year is the centennial celebration of one of the most famous & influential Tarot decks ever printed : The Rider-Waite-Smith deck.

This year, to commemorate its 100th birthday, U.S. Games Systems, Inc. have released the 'Pamela Colman Smith Commemorative Set' which features the new 'Smith-Waite Centennial Edition Tarot Deck' (reproduced from the original 1909 deck).

Being my all-time favourite deck, I eagerly snapped up this box-set yesterday. Featuring also, 'The Artwork & Times of Pamela Colman Smith' by Stuart R. Kaplan, this fascinating 102-page book showcases over 100 examples of Smith's non-tarot art.

Included too, is 'The Pictorial Key to the Tarot' by A. E. Waite (in a new format); 3 artwork reproductions by Smith and six colour postcards.

In a word - glorious.
