This article details the creation of the art of the Rider-Waite deck, an influential deck in the early 20th century that was actually designed by a woman, Pamela Colman Smith, who got no credit for her work.
"Now, over 70 years after her death, the creator Pamela Colman Smith has been included in a new exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York highlighting many underappreciated artists of early 20th-century American modernism in addition to famous names like Georgia O'Keeffe and Louise Nevelson." This show at the Whitney Museum is curated by Barbara Haskell. She was interviewed and quoted for the article quoted, below.
"Tarot has been around since early 15th-century Italy, spun off from traditional playing cards. The 78 cards are split into two groups called the Major and Minor Arcana. The Major Arcana features allegorical characters like the moon, sun, the fool and the lovers, while the Minor Arcana is divided into numbered and face cards in four suits: wands, swords, cups and pentacles. While prior decks were less pictorial in nature, Smith's is filled with lush imagery that makes their interpretation easier for the reader."

Divination is an art, not a science. It also takes time to develop your ability to be divine. These cards empower your ability to intuitively sense the flow of energetic, spiritual, physical, emotional and archetypal influences in your life, and how they have manifested in your past, present or future. If you work with these cards regularly, their energy as well as the practice will assist you.
It is important to clear the cards before and after each reading. Use the Violet Flame, Reiki, prayer, White Light, crystals, or any other preferred method.
Set your intention before each reading, or portion of a reading. “Please let the cards tell us what we need to know in this situation, for the Highest Good for All.” Or, “Please give us insight into the people involved in this situation (name the situation.)” Or, “Where is this situation taking us?” Be as specific as you can. “Please tell us what we most need to know.”
You can set the cards in specific locations to do a reading, and then you can also change their locations as you discuss options or suggestions to help a client address issues associated with a situation. This shifts energy when you do this.
Remember that if you are doing a reading for yourself and you are attached to the outcome, it is important to do your best to release the attachment or have someone else do a reading for you so the information can be clear.
Avoid doing readings if you are not clear energetically or emotionally.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The art of the Tarot cards was done by a woman, Pamela Coleman Smith, who had synesthesia, which is a neurological condition that causes the person to see shapes and colours when they hear sounds. The art itself is from the symbolist tradition, influenced by English artist Aubrey Beardsley and the Pre-Raphaelites.
They work with archetypes which all people can relate to, all of your thoughts, feelings, perceptions, influences and beliefs exist as energy patterns in your auric field. As you move through your life, the universe scans your energy and it knows what you’re thinking, feeling, believing, what you think is true, what’s coming to you, all of those things. It reads those energies so that when you hold a clear deck of tarot cards and you set the intention “please let me know what I need to for my highest good” your energies are read, and it selects the information that you need to know and shows you pictures of what’s happening using the images on the cards.
You may not always understand what the cards are saying, you may have to let it settle in, sometimes you need have to let yourself know what it means a week later, because it could be reading what’s coming to you along your timeline, like a psychic, or what has come to you, or what you’re experiencing right now.
People can have thoughts, beliefs, emotions, perceptions and then when they alter and change them, they can get a totally different result in their external life. That’s why a lot of people talk about using affirmations and changing your thoughts and belief systems to create or manifest different results in your life. It’s different from magical thinking.
BEST MOMENTS
“People who have lived with Christian influences are often told that divination, which is thousands of years old, is influenced by negative energies. That’s not true if you set the correct intention.”
“Tarot cards can read events from your past, your present and your future provided that that’s what you set the intention for.”
“It’s important to work with a skilled practitioner who’s energetically clear themselves. You can read the cards yourself, but you need to be unattached to the outcome to get more accurate information.”
“Divination is an art not a science, obviously. It takes a long time to develop your divine ability to divine.”
