The Deck
The card images come from the Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot deck, first published by the Rider Company in 1909 and now in the public domain. This deck is based on the instructions by A. E. Waite and illustrated by Pamela Colman Smith. Most modern Tarot decks derive their imagery from this Rider-Waite-Smith deck.
Tarot Philosophy
Each of the 78 Tarot cards contain many pieces of wisdom that can be useful at different times in your life. By drawing random cards from the deck, you allow for the possibility of receiving the right message at the right time. In the same way that the cards drawn during a Tarot reading are random, the message you receive with the card in Your Daily Tarot is chosen randomly as well, adding an additional layer of chance and opportunity for coincidences to spark awareness and insight. Each Tarot Card has 42 unique messages that together contain that card’s wisdom and meaning, so that even when you get the same card multiple times you will get different messages each time.
Card Meaning Sources
Each card has 42 messages associated with it that together encompass its wisdom and meaning. These messages are based on the author’s personal notes and observations from 8 years of Tarot practice, common sayings and proverbs, and the following Tarot books and booklets: Phantasma Tarot by Paulina Fae, The Mind’s Eye Tarot by Olivia Rose, Guide to the Animal Totem Tarot by Leeza Robertson, Black Violet Tarot by Heidi Phelps, Old Style Tarot by Alexander Ray, The Druid Craft Tarot by Philip and Stephanie Carr-Gomm, Tarot and the Tree of Life by Isabel Radow Kliegman, and 78 Degrees of Wisdom by Rachel Pollack.
