E. Waite. This practical book explains the history and symbolism of the tarot deck as well as providing a step-by-step guide to using the cards for divination practices.

A. E. Waite was the designer and co-creator of the now famous Rider Waite Tarot deck. An American-born British poet and scholarly mystic, his strong interest in all esoteric matters—divination, magic, Kabbalism, alchemy and Freemasony—led to him penning a number of books. These include The Key to the Tarot, The Book of Ceremonial Magic and A New Encyclopedia of Freemasonry.
