Radiant Rider-Waite® Tarot
Virginijus Poshkus has successfully undertaken the task of re-colorizing an iconic tarot deck and enhancing the beloved artwork created by Pamela Colman Smith.
His carefully chosen palette of vibrant color brings new energy and radiance to the 78 cards of the Rider-Waite® Tarot. The updated look replaces Smith’s thick, black outlines with subtle shading that gives depth to the familiar scenes.
Radiant Rider-Waite’s enhanced brightness highlights the traditional symbolism that readers rely on for insightful readings. The card backs have also been given the fresh new look of a star-filled deep, blue sky. Radiant Rider-Waite® Tarot includes an instruction booklet with an Introduction by Stuart R. Kaplan.

Before your first reading, spend a few minutes holding the deck in your hands and flipping through the cards to familiarize yourself with the imagery. This helps you build a personal connection with the deck before you begin.
Shuffling the Deck: There is no single correct way to shuffle a tarot deck. The overhand method — transferring small packets of cards from one hand to the other — works well for larger decks and is gentle on the cards. You can also use a simple cut method, dividing the deck into two or three piles and restacking them in a different order. If the cards are well-worn, a light riffle shuffle is another option. Use whichever method feels comfortable and natural to you. Shuffle for as long as you like, focusing on your question or intention as you do.
Single-Card Daily Draw: Pull one card each morning to set a focus or theme for the day. Place it somewhere visible — on your desk or beside your workspace — and check back in with it throughout the day to see how its meaning unfolds in your experiences.
Three-Card Spread: For a simple structured reading, draw three cards and place them left to right. The first card represents the past or background of a situation, the second represents the present moment or current energy, and the third represents a likely outcome or future direction. This spread works well for everyday questions and decision-making.
Journaling Tip: Keep a dedicated notebook for your tarot practice. After each reading, write down the cards you pulled, the position they were in, and your immediate impressions — even if they do not match the guidebook definition exactly. Reviewing past entries over time helps you track patterns and develop your own understanding of the cards.
Beginner Tip: The instruction booklet included with the Radiant Rider-Waite® Tarot is a helpful starting point for learning card meanings, but do not rely on it exclusively. Notice what stands out to you in the card's imagery first, then consult the booklet for additional context. Over time, your own associations with the cards will become just as valuable as the traditional meanings.
Storage Tip: When not in use, store your deck in its original box or in a fabric pouch to protect the cards from bending, moisture, and dust. Keeping the deck in a consistent location also helps you build a regular practice.
