A.E. Waite's The Pictoral Key to the Tarot has been a mainstay among tarot reference guides for more than a century.

As an acclaimed occultist and scholar of the Kabbalah, Waite collaborated with artist Pamela Colman Smith to create what has become possibly the world's most famous tarot deck. The pictoral key offers a rich introduction to the history and symbology of the modern tarot in addition to providing a detailed explanation of the 78 cards found in the original Smith-Waite deck. Readers will enjoy an in-depth exploration of the tarot's secrets while gaining insight to the conventional meanings and reversed readings associated with each card.

Repeater's re-release of this classic text contains a forward by Sereptie (Craig Laubach), creator of The Philosopher's Tarot, celebrating the importance of the tarot to artists, activists, and others seeking to transform a world fraught with material and psychic oppressions. This expanded edition also includes an appendix featuring a quick reference guide to common keywords and interpretations.
