"For centuries, Tarot has drawn people to its magic and mystery," said Mordente. "It has an extensive and complicated history, but in every corner of the world it has been used as a tool for divination and fortune-telling. The classic Rider Waite Deck, published in 1909, certainly wasn't the first to be created, yet has held its place as the most iconic since its release. The reason why it changed the game? It was the first Tarot deck to feature human figures in the artwork. Its creators evolved the concept of Tarot reading to new dimensions by developing unique characters and personalities throughout the cards with depth and detail; keeping it rich in symbolism and divided into the Major and Minor Arcana. Being so illustrative, the Rider Waite is a go-to tool for those starting out on their Tarot journey, and is known and loved by readers globally."
