Anyone who wants to carry a pack of tarot with them easily will find this one useful. It is smaller than the original but is just as good in every respect. Handy travelling pack. For those who havent used a rider waite pack before. They are fairly easy to understand from the pictures on the cards and there are lots of books to help you if you need to learn more. I prefer the big cards for normal use but these are certainly fine to carry with you for a quick impromptu reading.

A True Rectified Gallery of the Archetypes
14 Jun 2006
_I only use the Rider-Waite deck for a very good reason. Arthur Waite saw that there had been considerable "drift" in the symbolism of the cards over the years. He took it upon himself as one of the preeminent scholars of the occult of modern times to rectify and restore the deepest archetypical meaning to the deck (including the colors.) After all, that is the meaning of the cards- it is also how they work. These are instruments that resonate with the highest archetypes in the realm of the Forms. This is also why they require contemplation- you have to internalize the deepest traditional meanings. You have to "feel" the cards through deep inner focus on what you have both read and lived. If the cards mean nothing to you, or if you are ignorant of the old meanings, then they simply won't "work." You have to establish a connection- "As above, so below." Skeptics will laugh at this, because to them these are simply pieces of card stock with no "mechanism" to them. The mechanism is in the underlying structure and currents of the cosmos.
