A timeless classic, beautifully made for modern readers. Tarot Original 1909 is Lo Scarabeo’s faithful reproduction of the very first RWS printing from December 1909 - clean lines, balanced color, and the iconic symbolism that shaped contemporary tarot.

The deck reads intuitively for beginners and offers depth for seasoned practitioners, making it a perfect addition to The Astra Sanctuary’s shelves and your altar.

 

 

 

Why You Will Love It

  • Authentic 1909 look & feel: Pamela Colman Smith’s art and A. E. Waite’s system, reproduced from the earliest edition for clear, reliable readings.

  • Read-anywhere format: 78-card standard tarot with Lo Scarabeo’s familiar 66x120 mm card size - easy to shuffle, easy to handle.

  • Built-in guidance: Comes with a multilingual instruction booklet (incl. English, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese) so you can start reading right away.

 

 

 

Voice

Clear, classic, and steady. Tarot Original 1909 speaks in a straightforward Rider–Waite–Smith vocabulary; symbol-rich, practical, and gently traditional. The palette and linework make messages clean and readable without fluff; supportive when you’re unsure, honest when you need clarity, and neutral enough to let your intuition lead.

 

 

 

Ideal Uses

  • Daily pulls & journaling: crisp imagery for one-card guidance and reflection prompts.

  • Learning & teaching: faithful RWS scenes make it a gold-standard study deck for keywords, numerology, and reversals.

  • Professional readings: reliable for clear storytelling in Celtic Cross, 3–5 card spreads, and client sessions.

  • Pathworking & meditation: consistent symbolism supports deeper visual meditation and archetype work.

  • Deck pairing: great as the “anchor deck” alongside Oracles or a more expressive Tarot for nuance.

 

 

 

Reader Level

Beginner to advanced. Accessible enough for first-time readers (fast symbol recognition), yet layered for experienced practitioners who want reliable, reference-true imagery that holds up in study, teaching, and professional practice.
