A Note from Sarah

If someone is just starting their tarot journey, this is almost always the deck I recommend first. The imagery is incredibly rich with symbolism, and so many tarot books and classes reference the Rider-Waite system.

It’s really the foundation of modern tarot reading, and every reader benefits from spending time with it.
