THE ATLAS OF THE ORDER THAT TOOK
The Rider-Waite-Smith deck
the RWS deck
nature
Seventy-eight cards designed by Waite, drawn by Pamela Colman Smith, published by Rider. Its innovation — full illustrated scenes on the minor arcana instead of arrangements of pips — made the deck readable at sight.
More people have met the sephirot through this object than through every Jewish source in history combined. It carries, invisibly, the Order's path attributions, its Kabbalistic frame, and its two pillars standing behind the High Priestess.
