tarot decks?

Question

I really am tired of looking at the artwork on the Rider-Waite deck, but I really am fond of the symbols on all of the cards.....Are there any other decks that use most or all of these symbols, but have better artwork?

Answer 1

The Universal Waite deck has the same symbols and everything but is much more colorful than the original Rider-Waite.

Answer 2

Albano Waite is the same deck fun colors. Purple, orange, and a great green.

Halloween Tarot follows the pattern of the RWS and what can be funner to play with right now.

There are a ton of decks that I would consider based on the Rider Waite but none are going to have the exact symbols other then a clone (same line drawings), there are quite a few of them.

Spiral Tarot, Gilded, Wild Spirit, are three that many people find interesting, and an easy switch with.

Answer 3

I'm an untraditional tarot reader, I have never had any RW images type deck. I have RW styled decks when it comes to the cards meanings, Legends is one I really like. You might also have a look at the Native Americal Tarot published by US games. The art is not 'fluffy-pretty' but the symbolisim is wonderful. A pretty deck that is also a bit different but way easy to read with is Fey.....

Answer 4

I think there is one that is similar. I think it's called the Swiss Waite. I googled it and there is a swiss deck or Swiss tarot.

I use the Rider-Waite miniture deck. It's the most reliable for me. I also have a renaissance deck as well. I was playing with the idea of a witch deck.

I agree the Rider-waite deck is iconic.

Answer 5

These are many. Some almost exact, other with a more modern look. Take a peek at the site below which allows you to compare the cards and symbols on several decks.

Answer 6

Hanson-Roberts deck works for me
