My Rider Waite Smith Decks (2023)

I've collected many different iterations and reinterpretations of this classic tarot deck. Over the past year I did some re-evaluation and have narrowed my collection to a few essentials for study, historical, and sentimental reasons.

[@Katiplans]

Wow, this was an interesting history lesson disguised as a KZbin video 👍🏻Thank you, I enjoyed it 🙏🏻 I feel so much more knowledgeable now 😅

[@WaterChildTarot]

Thank you for the compliment 😂.

I really enjoyed this! That 60s slip box with the glued card was suuuper cool! 🥰

I’m glad it was entertaining - thank you! The University Books deck is one of the jewels in my collection.

This was a wonderful video and I learned so much! I’m wondering if you can suggest dupes for some of the out of print decks?

[@WaterChildTarot]

I’m glad this was interesting and thanks for your comment. I think the only ones that are truly out of print are the University Books and the JK Waite from Japan. There are so many saturated clones on the market I’m sure you could find something you like.
