This divining deck was originally published by the Rider Company in 1909, based on the instructions of English academic, poet, and mystic Arthur Edward Waite, and illustrated by Arts & Crafts artist and author Pamela Colman Smith. The symbols and imagery were influenced by the 19th-century magician and occultist Eliphas Levi, and by the teachings of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.

This box is still sealed shut and contains 78 cards and an instruction booklet (photos of cards taken from a deck I sold previously). The only signs of wear are two slightly dog-earred corners to the bottom of the box.

Approximate measurements of pack: 12.5 x 7.5 x 3cm. Cards are the larger format (about 12 x 7cm).
