Arthur E. Waite and artist Pamela Colman Smith's Rider-Waite Tarot (1909) is the most popular Tarot in the world. Today, it is affectionately referred to as the Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot in recognition of the high quality of Smith's contributions. Waite and Smith's deck has become the gold standard for identifying and analyzing contemporary Tarot and other meditation decks based on archetypes. Developments in both visual and literary history and theory have influenced Tarot since its fifteenth-century invention as a game and subsequent adaptations for esotericism, cartomancy, and meditation. This analysis consider Tarot in relation to established modern and postmodern art movements, such as Symbolism, Surrealism, and Pattern and Decoration Art, as well as the concepts and theories informing both the dominance and the dissolution of the modernist "grid" and hierarchical priorities. This work also explores the close connection between Tarot and the invention of the literary novel and includes new material on the representation of Tarot in film and fiction. A new chapter addresses the growing influence of the archetypal "shadow" and "shadow work" on Tarot as an artistic form, narrative genre, and practice in the new millennium.

The One World Tarot offers a brand new tarot book and card set oriented to the beginner that brings the ancient art of the tarot into the 21st century with a diverse approach while preserving all of the essential elements. The tarot dates back to the 15th century, with the modern form developed by Arthur Waite and Pamela Colman Smith in the early 20th century.

The One World Tarot takes a fresh and contemporary approach to the deck and the meaning of the cards. It is intended for up-and-coming practitioners of any age.

In contrast, this book and the card art have been created to encompass many centuries and cultures, embrace our global diversity, and apply to all genders. Written by two popular tarot experts, Lena Rodriguez and Seanna Rose, The One World Tarot takes a modern, global approach to established and increasingly popular art.
