It was first published in 1910 by Rider & Company, a London publisher. Arthur Edward Waite designed the deck in collaboration with Pamela Colman Smith, an American artist.The RWS Tarot deck was published in December 1909 by William Rider And Son of London. The deck was the product of the collaboration between the artist, Pamela Colman Smith (b. 1878 d. 1951) and Dr Arthur Edward Waite (b. 1857 d. 1942), who were both members of the Order Of The Golden Dawn, a famous occult group of the 19th Century. For some reason (sexism no doubt), Pamela Smiths' contribution is usually ignored, and the deck is commonly called the Rider-Waite Tarot.
What is the mystical tarot?
Lenormand's Mystical Tarot is a 36-card deck designed in the 19th century. The imagery is much different than the two most common sets- Rider-Waite and Marseilles. It appears to draw from Egyptian, Greek and some Biblical lore. Some consider this an "oracle" deck as opposed to a true "tarot" deck. See this link for card imagery. http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/mystical-lenormand/ SS
What is meant by a rectified deck in tarot cards?
I think it refers to the deck created by Arthur E. Waite and Pamela Colman Smith, often referred to as the "Rider-Waite" deck, but which I prefer to call the Waite-Smith deck. Waite was a mystic who believed his mystical ideas allowed him to see the deficiencies in the common Tarot decks of his time, and to make corrections to them. I'm not sure of all the details; however, I do know that he switched the places of a couple of cards, and gave The Fool the number 0. Because Waite considered his version the "correct" one, he called his deck "rectified."
What is the difference between the Rider Waite Minor Arcana and Major Arcana tarot decks?

Which element is associated with the athame?
The athame or witch's dagger in tradition represents fire but after Rider-Waite tarot some people choose to use the athame for air. So basically a witch can choose whether to use the athame to represent Fire or Air and can be used interchangeably with the wand. I personally choose the element to be Fire.
What is the meaning of obelisk in tarot?
I believe it coincides w/ The Tower of the Ryder-Waite deck. It's been so long since I've had a tarot deck that I don't recall the meaning of the cards themselves....something about change (and if inverted, it would mean stagnation).
