- Here is my response the fabulous #allaboutRWS tag!
RWS Comparison: • RWS Comparison - USG Y...
1. What's your favourite RWS clone and why? (if you don't have one you can use a deck that follows the RWS system)
2. What's your life path card and how do you relate to it? (add your full date of birth together until you get a number of 21 or lower, so if 23 that will be 5 - The Hierophant)
3. Your favourite Major and your favourite Minor?
4. Do you prefer the RWS system over others? If so, why? If not, why not?
5. What card is stalking you currently?
6. Cards you look for first in any style deck, the make or break!
7. Your first and last RWS?
8. How many RWS decks do you have?
9. By the book or intuitive reader?
10. How do you feel about the proliferation of RWS style decks... good or bad? Are there too many?

If anyone has an ISSUE with STICKY OLD or NEW CARDS, use fanning powder. It's a powder that cardist use on old playing cards to help them spread nicely again. I tried it on my old unused radiant RWS deck and it shuffles and fans effortlessly now. I just dab very little on my finger and spread it on the surface of the cards (you only need a little, it'll look like you're barely putting anything but trust me smear what's on your finger to both sides and use a tissue or soft cloth to spread and wipe any little excess and smudges) Hope that helps anyone with sticky decks ;D
Cool. You have a link to a good brand?
That's so interesting, I haven't seen so many RWS decks side by side. Super cool!
TheSongOfTheWinds Haha I do have a few, don't I?! 😅
I am so pleased you have done our tag Katey, I really hoped you would as I have followed your channel for months. Totally agree on your views as to what constitutes a clone and was what I was thinking when posed the question. There are originals, clones and then those that follow the RWS system. Thanks again! x
Two Spirit thank you for posing such fun questions!
Love this video, especially the inclusion of the Lo Scarabeo deck. It's been so hard to find reviews of that deck, and it's nice to see it in context with the other clones.
Interesting. Would have really loved to see the backs of all the cards, though. That’s how I have an idea of when they were published. Also, personally, I wouldn't call those others clones, I would call them Rider-inspiried. I only call decks that use Pixie's exact artwork clones. Semantics, I guess. :)
Great video Katey! I totally agree with you about the Radiant Rider-Waite regarding the coloring. I have both it and the Universal Waite and I've never been able to connect to either of them but the PCS Commemorative however is my absolute go to RWS deck. The Golden Rider is so fabulous and I must attain a copy one day!!
I love tarot 😍
I loved seeing your RWS comparisons and what you think constitutes a clone deck. I agree with your choices! Yes, book knowledge frees my intuition up too. Great responses to this amazing tag.
Norse Pagan Tarot Witch isn't the whole discussion on what is or isn't a clone interesting?
It really is indeed.
how nicely you trimmed down tbe universal tarot m seArching this deck since two yrs now i got it its lo scrabio universal tarot
I like the 70s one (Hoy Paloy ?) :p jeez I like them all! It’s the little things really :) pretty nail colour also 💅🏽 thank you for the video. All beautiful decks, agree I like the golden tarot also. Out of print 😖☹️ also like the Royal affairs (I think that’s what called?) nice collection 🙂
thank you so much , i was looking for the name of Golden Rider. I only know the back of the deck. now I know the name thanks to you!
I actually love the bright colored one. Garish is my thang! LOL... Very interesting comparison.
Joanna DeVoe haha that's why all the different editions are so fabulous, there's something out there for each of us!
Great video! Could you maybe tell me what is the year of release the pre-copyright RWS deck, the first one that you show? It is the one I like the most and I have a problem of finding no copyright version, as 1971 ones that I have found still have this copyright.
I LOVE LOOVEE the Universal Tarot
Hanson Roberts is a cute clone too btw very 70ish and silly cute lol
Omg now I need to have the hoi polloi deck!!!!
Hi , I am interested in the trimmed /clone RWS Deck with the two Disk like thing on the back with a background of blue and looks like a pentagram inside.. what is the name of that deck and who is it made by?
I LOVE MS CLEOS deck great quality cards...Art I really like....easydeck to interpret...inexpensive!! Thanks!
Call me now for your free reading!!!! 🤣🤣
Which deck is the blue one with two circles?
I always wonder if I was there in the early 1900s, whether I might like Pixie's art better.... I like everything about that era.... :) That first RWS you showed us, I like it :D
Nobody Here what an interesting thought! :)
Please - where did u buy ur universal deck
That one is so different I would like one
Have been on Amazon and eBay
Have not found the one like urs
Hoi poloi is the #1 RWS deck I want but it's out of print and expensive. So maybe someday, lol. 🤞
Great video, Katey!
I wouldn't call the Universal (Lo Scarabeo) a clone though; if you look for instance at the 4 of Swords that one is very different than the actual RWS image.
Nina Strandlod ah interesting Nina! I get what you mean, it's a different perspective but it is still so damn close! These definitions can be tricky!
Ooooohhhh my godness. I love so much all your decks!!!!!!! Please, send me one of gift?? hahahah
Very nice RWS collection. If you had the opportunity/means, would you ever want the historic originals (Pam A or C or whatever they're called; I'm not an expert, lol)? Me, I can never quite decide if I'd want the responsibility of caring for one, even if I could afford it! What if I somehow lost/damaged that precious piece of history? 😱 …Pretty abstruse question, I know.
Oh, btw, my definitions of clones etc. are the same as yours, though I'm not quite sure where I picked them up. Maybe on Aeclectic Tarot or something. Anyway, great video as always! 💜
Bookwight oh yes, I would totally love to own one of those original decks, although I don't expect to given the fact I don't like to spend too much, even on the more valuable decks! I know what you mean though, it'd be pretty devastating if anything were to happen to it!
still trying to choose between centennial and borderless ahh
Which one to buy ? MADE IN CHINA or MADE IN ITALY ? I am confused 😕
The Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot was first printed in 1910 by German printer A.G. Muller and published under the label of English publisher Rider & Sons. These decks are exceedingly rare. Between the years 1935-69, finding a store that regularly stocked Tarot decks was quite uncommon, even in cosmopolitan areas. U.S. Games only got the patent in 1970 once interest in the Tarot resumed. The assertion that Pamela Coleman-Smith's art is "from the 60's" is, quite simply, untrue. In fact, Coleman-Smith's self-stated inspiration for the artwork for the pips on the RWS deck is the Sola Busca Tarot, first published in 1489 in Italy. Indeed, the RWS deck is a "CLONE" of (or, rather, an homage to) the Sola Busca Tarot (and the surviving Visconti Tarots) in many respects.
Tamlyn Murray Hi Tamlyn, yes I'm aware of most of the basic history of the deck and don't believe I assert anywhere that PCS's art is from the '60s.
+Tamlyn Murray, don't be obnoxious. The video is great.
The pre copywrite RWS is my favorite, love the font, the thick, matte finish card stock. I don't care for any of the USGames decks that are printed in Italy. They are too shiny, and the card stock is too thin. I prefer their decks that are printed in China, which are more similar to the older RW decks. The Centennial version is an example of the USG decks printed in China.
I just got the Universal RWS deck. I have to say I wasn't all that impressed. The colors were almost too subdued. I would love to get a darker deck.
Meadow Rae That's what I love about it! Aren't we lucky to have so many variations? There's something for each and everyone of us!
I agree! I think when I find the right deck for me I'm really going to love the RWS.
Hi Katey could you tell me the name of the deck you showed at the end.... not the Anna K, but the other one. I really liked it, but couldn't quite understand what you said the name was. Thank you ! Loved the video
Eliza West the Circo Tarot? Is that the one you mean? :)
Or the on I use for the reading is the Royal Fez Moroccan Tarot :)
Katey Flowers yes! Thank you!!!
Is it hard to find?
Sorry, which one was it? Circo or Royal Fez? The Circo I got in a Kickstarter campaign, I'm not sure if it's still available. And the Royal Fez has been out of print for many years, so it's not the easiest to find at an affordable price. Mine was a bit used and came with no box or anything, so I didn't have to pay too much for it in the end. :)
But the decks from 1970 and the 90s both have Pamela Colman Smith's name prominently on them and everyone knows PCS was never given recognition until TikTok was invented. 😉
