Giant Rider-Waite® Tarot Deck

I have more than enough tarot decks at this point - some with creative artwork, and many with the Rider-Waite images in unique formats (such as shimmery foil backgrounds, or different colors). So I definitely did NOT need another deck! But for some reason I bought these. They're hard to shuffle because they're so big - I usually just spread them out on the table and swirl them around. They're just fun to play with.The main way I use them is when I'm referencing one of my tarot books to learn about the card meanings. I find that it's easier to see the small details on each card since they're bigger than normal. I may even frame a few of my favorite images to hang on the wall, or use them in my crafting/artwork.The card stock is thick and the colors are bright. As I said, I certainly didn't need these but they're fun!

I bought these cards for learning. I wrote all of the meanings on the back of the cards to help with learning. I love that these cards are big , gives enough space to write keywords and even sentences if needed. I tried writing keywords on the standard size deck and some times ran out of space. These are big and perfect.

Me encantaron!

Having used the Radiant Rider-Waite deck for years, I didn’t realize the artwork itself had been improved upon in that deck until I got this one!The Radiant deck is stunning, vibrant, clear and has much more detail than the original RWS deck and I highly recommend it. Even though it’s been re-illustrated, it’s basically RWS in 4K HD and feels amazing to use.However, the original RWS artwork and coloring here is one of a kind. High contrast, crisp line work, rich accurate colors, pure whites and blacks without any odd toning or exaggerated colors. They’re magical.Keep in mind these cards are huge, so opt for the standard RWS deck for readings if you have smaller hands, however keep these around to bask in the artwork up close.

To each its own. For me I have learned to love them for reflection. I don’t feel it’s for readings for me. The picture/color quality was off putting but these are blown up Original Rider Waite cards. I connected with mine instantly so couldn’t part ways with them because they aren’t perfect; nothing is perfect and I’m learning to be okay with it. Thank you!

I use the regular-sized deck of Rider-Waite cards to do my reading, which consists of drawing a single card for the day. Then I put that deck away, take out the Giant Rider-Waite Tarot Deck, and locate the day's card. I prop it up at my desk, where I can see it all day long and occasionally think about it. The giant cards invite you into and make you a part of the scene. It's much easier to pick out objects, facial expressions, the color of leaves or clothing. I wasn't sure about ordering them. I asked myself if I really needed them, and the answer was no, but I went ahead and got them anyway. Turns out the answer was really yes: I did need them, because they've allowed me to see more.

Tarot row row your boat. Where? Literally anywhere you feel like traveling. Have you been to France? I haven't but I'm sure they are down. Let the cards drop... let them let you know youre out here! Do you! And rock the boat as you meet new friends with tarot. So fun. My friend brought it to a party. A lady freaked! Thanks

The big size of these cards are good for study, to see all the details I might miss on a smaller card. I ask a daily question, draw a card, and put it on my sacred space. Then I journal about it to see what comes up. In the evening, I look over at the card and review how the card was really reflected in my day, and journal briefly. I read for others professionally, and working with readings on the internet, this might be even better for my clients to see the cards as I pull them. They are far too large to put out a whole spread for them to look at, but for small spreads, this is ideal. The printing is good and not pixelated, which drives me nuts on other decks. The color is light so images are easier to see.Took off one star. What I don't like is the ultra thin cardstock. They don't feel sturdy, and the wafer thin storage box is awful and pretty much trash. I will toss the box and just put them in a bag or in a stronger box. They will definitely last for display on my altar, but they will not last for readings.The iterations of RWS are my fave decks for the rich detail of imagery and symbolism, and this one is no exception.
