📚 WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT

Artist Bill Greer designed this modern seventy-eight card deck by drawing on foundational tarot research from Arthur Edward Waite and Paul Foster Case. Using Case's writing as a primary guide for color choices, Bill crafted saturated scenes that provoke an emotional response prior to visual analysis. The borderless card edges merge during readings, creating uninterrupted full-scene panoramic spreads across the reading surface.

Fun Fact

Greer succeeds in making the familiar feel visceral. The color work is masterful, turning static archetypes into dynamic emotional landscapes. However, readers seeking traditional, subtle Rider-Waite aesthetics may find the intensity overwhelming. It sits firmly in the modern esoteric tradition, prioritizing psychological resonance over historical fidelity. A compelling choice for those who read with their feelings first.

📝 Description: Morgan Greer Tarot

Published by U. S. Games Systems, Inc., the Morgan Greer Tarot is a seventy-eight card deck created by artist Bill Greer. Grounded in classic Rider-Waite structure, this set draws directly from research conducted by tarot experts Arthur Edward Waite alongside Paul Foster Case. When creating the visual art, Bill relied on Case's text to guide his color selection, aiming to spark instant emotional responses before the reader consciously parses any symbolism. The deck features deeply saturated, expressive imagery presented without traditional card borders. This design choice allows the viewer to observe the scenery and symbolic details from a close perspective. When laid out together in a spread, the edge-to-edge scenes line up to form a continuous visual picture across the table. This release suits readers who want a borderless, color-focused interpretation of traditional Waite and Case symbolism. It does not suit buyers looking for a written book or a deck with standard visual margins.

This tarot deck is a bold aesthetic experiment that may not suit everyone. While the deep saturated colors create an immersive, emotional landscape for those who value mood and atmosphere, readers seeking clear, immediate narrative cues might find the chromatic primer distracting or confusing. The borderless design requires careful handling to appreciate the continuous flow, which can be cumbersome for quick reference. It is best suited for esoteric scholars familiar with Paul Foster Case’s work or artists who understand color theory. Those preferring the stark clarity of traditional Rider-Waite-Smith imagery without artistic abstraction may feel disconnected from the intuitive flow intended by the artist.

Finally got around to ordering this. The material is presented clearly and the structure makes it easy to revisit key passages. I'd have loved an index, but that's on the original text. Still worth having on the shelf.

Exactly what I was looking for. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. Highly recommend to serious students.

Worth the read

My third book from this store and this one might be the best. Solid binding, decent paper — holds up to heavy use. A text you study rather than simply read. Some archaic spellings slow things down. Solid, if not essential.

Exactly what I was looking for. The ideas are old but land with surprising force today. It rewards patience more than any book I've bought this year. Happy enough with the purchase.

❓ Frequently asked questions

Yes, as it retains the recognizable structure of the Rider-Waite-Smith system, but its unique color theory may require some study to fully grasp its emotional nuances.

The borderless design allows the artwork to flow seamlessly across adjacent cards in a spread, creating a unified, cinematic scene rather than isolated illustrations.

Emerging in the late 20th century, this deck bridges the gap between the foundational Rider-Waite-Smith imagery and the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn’s later interpreter, Paul Foster Case. By prioritizing Case’s research, it shifts the focus from mere allegory to energetic resonance, marking a significant evolution in modern tarot design that emphasizes psychological impact over static representation.
