Technical Specifications

Product History

The Original Tarot is based on the tarot illustrations created by Pamela Colman Smith under the direction of Arthur Edward Waite in the early twentieth century. That imagery became the foundation of what is now commonly called the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot tradition.

Da Brigh and Siren Imports produced The Original Tarot as a digitally remastered reproduction of this established artwork. The remaster retains the recognizable composition and symbolism while using modern digital preparation and printing methods.

The Original Tarot later became part of a broader Siren Imports and Da Brigh tarot catalog. Related products include a Spanish-language edition and other decks that reinterpret or build upon traditional tarot systems.

Is this an oracle deck?

No. It is a tarot deck with the conventional 78-card structure. Oracle decks do not follow a single standardized card count or tarot structure.

Can the deck be stored in a humid room?

Buying Considerations

Traditional Artwork

This deck is based on established Rider-Waite-Smith imagery rather than newly created contemporary scenes. Users researching tarot decks should distinguish historical reproductions from original modern art decks.

Card Size

The cards are larger than conventional poker cards. Hand size and preferred shuffling technique can affect comfort when using full-size tarot cards.

Card Stock

The 350 gsm paper is relatively substantial for a card deck. Thickness can influence flexibility, shuffle technique, and the overall height of a 78-card stack.

Linen-Style Finish

The textured finish changes the surface feel compared with completely smooth or glossy tarot cards. Finish preference is subjective and can affect how users perceive shuffling and handling.

Guidebook Scope

The included 86-page guidebook provides introductory meanings and instructions. Users seeking extensive historical, symbolic, or comparative tarot study may use additional reference materials.

English Edition

This configuration uses English text. A separate Spanish edition exists, so language should be checked when identifying an individual package.

Historical Versus Remastered Printing

The imagery is digitally remastered rather than reproduced directly from an aged historical printing. Color and line reproduction may therefore differ from antique or facsimile editions.

Interpretive Use

Tarot meanings vary between traditions, teachers, authors, and individual readers. The interpretations in one guidebook should not be treated as the only possible meanings.
