What is the Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot Deck?
A. Created at the beginning of the 20th Century, The Rider-Waite-Smith (RWS) Tarot deck is one of the most popular renderings of the Tarot card images. It is not the only Tarot deck; there is no ‘official’ deck. Anyone can draw their own visualization of these cards, which have been in use for centuries. However, the RWS deck is the best selling and most recognizable Tarot deck.
