Miniature Rider-Waite® Tarot: Compact and Portable Miniature 78-Card Tarot with Iconic Pamela Colman Smith Artwork, Essential for Beginners & Experts, ... and Tarot Study, Includes Instruction Booklet

Love this deck and would highly recommend to anyone - Beginner or advanced, its easy to hold actually kind of the easiest size I feel to hold and overall gets the job done- It's compact size allows for clarifiers without covering the existing cards you may have in the reading and love how soft, light, and thin it is

This is my #1 favorite tarot deck. I know there are other art styles that catch my eye over The Rider Waite, but none of them come in this form factor. I've gone through many of these decks, given away a few, and even lost one to an overzealous teething puppy (whose name is Mr. Crowley ironically enough).I do collect other Tarot Decks for their art and some have specific uses, like the Thoth deck or The Ceremonial Magick Tarot, but none of them go anywhere with me.This deck has accompanied me on many trips, and I see myself buying more in the future. They're just so easy to toss in my pocket, a backpack pocket, a glovebox, etc.I wish other tarot decks came in this same size, but so far this is the only one I've found. There are "pocket" editions of other decks, but none of them are this small. Even the Lo Scarabeo and Llewelyn mini tarot decks are still bigger than this one.The next size down is the "Tiny" tarot deck which is basically the size of postage stamps and not really conducive to practical use. Really, the "pocket" version of any deck should be -this- size. I'm not sure who decided the "pocket" sizes being sold were supposed to be that big but they must have had giant pockets.

I had seen a deck before that pretty close poker sized. I assumed that's what this was, but this is about 50% smaller than that! It's still really cool and I'll find a use for it, but I thought I was buying the "pocket size" deck. If the pocket size deck is small, then this deck is actually the tiny one.

Cute product

This is my favourite Tarot deck: a classic with archetypal imagery that works to this day. The images have a timeless appeal and are carried by a rich underlayer of symbolism, created by the visionary artist Pamela Colman Smith. Because all the cards have images, even the little Arcana it is the ideal deck for beginners and advanced tarotists alike. The little booklet is the first thing I throw away, however: if you need guidance with the cards, I would advice basic good literature like Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom: A Book of TarotThe miniature version is also my favourite Rider deck to work with: it is the ideal size for people with small hands, like me and fits neatly into my bag or pocket. Ideal for travel or for use at home or in the practice room. For lager spreads like the Celtic Cross it is ideal: it does not take quite so much room on the table!Wendy Gillissen, M.A., author of award-winning fantasy adventure Curse of the Tahira

Great little cards. They are nice to shuffle- that became important after I saw people complaining about other mini decks that weren't smooth enough and stuck when shuffling, which would be incredibly annoying. As pretty as some of the other mini's were, I ultimately decided to go with this one and haven't been disappointed!The interpretation book that it comes with includes reversed interpretations, which I (usually!) find really useful! I will say that I don't agree with all of the interpretations, but every tarot reader will eventually come to their own understanding of the cards, so that's not really a big deal for me (but may hinder beginners, I ALMOST gave 4 instead of 5 stars for this reason).That being said, I would suggest getting another interpretation book, or studying some online sources to understand the symbolism and meaning behind the cards. But for what really I wanted, the mini deck, this is totally perfect.

Im in love with these already!! So much easier to shuffle than the original size. I was debating between getting either this mini size or the pocket size and Im glad I chose to purchase these instead because they are the perfect size for my small hands and easily fit in my pocket (of womens juniors size jeans and we all know just how small those pockets are haha) so I can take them with me anywhere now! They arent really heavy like the original size either! I am so pleased with this deck! Also, it literally shipped late last night and got here by 1pm today! Talk about a fast delivery!! Wow! 5 stars all the way around!!

They were exactly what I hoped, and cuter! Shuffling is a bit tricky because of how small this mini deck is, however it’s not impossible to get used to. In addition to the size and shuffling, the card stock is good and the images on the cards are clear just like the original. It comes with a booklet that I prefer not to use. It’s quite filled with info, but not appealing to the eye almost like it was just thrown together. Lastly the best thing about this mini deck of Rider Waite Tarot cards is that they easily fit inside your purse or pocket. They’re fantastic to travel with and still have the impact that the original has.Shipping was surprisingly swift! I truly enjoy these cards and do not regret purchasing them.
