Spanish Rider-Waite Tarot
This is the iconic Rider-Waite deck published with Spanish card titles and an instruction booklet in Spanish, making it the natural starting point for Spanish-speaking tarot readers. When Pamela Colman Smith illustrated these 78 cards in 1909 under Arthur Edward Waite's direction, she broke with centuries of convention by giving the Minor Arcana fully illustrated scenes rather than simple arrangements of suit symbols. That choice changed tarot forever, and the influence of this deck can be felt in nearly every deck published since.
About the Creators
Pamela Colman Smith was a British-American artist and illustrator who studied at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn before returning to England to work as a theatrical designer and book illustrator. A fellow member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn alongside Arthur Edward Waite, she was selected to illustrate his tarot vision in 1909. She was paid a flat fee, and the publisher put its own name on the deck instead of hers, a historical slight that the tarot community has worked to correct by referring to the deck as the Rider-Waite-Smith. After the First World War she moved to Cornwall, where she lived until her death in 1951.
