I know there are many people who love this deck but I am not one of them. The drawings are too basic to capture my attention and admiration. I prefer a much more modern and artistic deck than this one.

For all A.E Waite did to attract English-speakers to notions of the esoteric doctrine, he did not offer a profound grasp of the true teaching, and his commentaries are evidence that he was more of an intellectual esoterist rather than a practical one. It can be understood then that he was writing about ideas, not realities. This deck reflects that point of view. It is so popular because it reduces the true nature of the Tarot into a simplified, literal form, and this has been a gross injustice both to the Tarot and to humanity. The real Tarot contains a wealth of Intuitive Knowledge, but the Western traditions have missed this point. The Tarot has been diverted into a way to make money or influence others, intentions which cause the naive to create suffering for themselves and others. The true use of the Tarot is largely unknown, but it can be discovered by studying “The Initiatic Path in the Arcana of Tarot and Kabbalah” by Samael Aun Weor; herein one sees that the Tarot and the Kabbalah are the same science, and it is through proper application of that science that the soul is lifted out of ignorance and suffering.
