The Smith–Waite Tarot Deck – Borderless Edition offers a tarot experience that completely draws you into the symbolic scenes without visual limitations. The iconic illustrations by Pamela Colman Smith (created in 1909) are extended across the entire card surface in this edition, creating a deeper, more direct connection with the tarot archetypes. Without white borders, each card becomes a window into a world of rich symbols that reveal themselves more intuitively, vividly, and personally. This deck is perfect for both study and daily intuitive reading.
The set contains 84 cards sized 6.9 × 12 cm, including 78 classic tarot cards and 4 additional images that complement the collection. The cards are made of plastic-coated paper, ensuring durability and comfortable shuffling. The Borderless design emphasizes the entire illustration – colors, lines, and symbols – without the distraction of edges, allowing for greater presence during reading and more natural intuitive connection.
The set includes 84 cards and a handy instruction booklet in English. The booklet introduces the basics of the traditional Rider–Waite system, the key meanings of individual cards, and suggestions for classic spreads. As an authentic product of U.S. Games Systems, Inc., this edition is valued both for its quality and its fidelity to the original work.
The Smith–Waite Tarot is based on the classic tarot system that shaped the modern approach to card reading. The archetypal figures, mythological stories, and spiritual symbols form a map of inner cycles. The borderless edition allows the symbols to expand into visual completeness, enhancing the sense of immersion in the archetypal story and encouraging deeper intuitive understanding.
The original watercolor illustrations by Pamela Colman Smith come alive with new depth: larger color areas and prominent figures give the feeling of stepping directly into the scene. The Borderless composition feels more cinematic, more meditative, and more intimate, as the reader's eye is unrestricted. This facilitates a smoother interpretation of the tarot, especially in wide spreads.
This deck is perfect for beginners who want a clear, visually strong tarot for reliable learning, and for experienced readers who appreciate symbolic purity and a deep visual experience. Due to its special borderless edition, it is also extremely appealing to collectors and art enthusiasts.
The Smith–Waite Tarot Deck – Borderless Edition is a wonderful opportunity to experience the tarot in its most authentic, pristine form. Each card becomes a door to a story full of symbolism, clarity, and inner guidance.
