The Tarot Original 1909 was the first mass-market deck to feature detailed scenic illustrations for the Minor Arcana. Pamela Colman Smith’s visionary artwork made tarot more accessible, allowing intuitive readings without the need for prior knowledge. The included guidebook, created with occultist Arthur Edward Waite, provides deep insights into each card’s meaning.

This iconic deck was born from the teachings of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, a secret London-based society dedicated to esoteric wisdom.
