📚 ABOUT THE BOOK

Deep saturated colors breathe life into the borderless Rider-Waite structure for intimate, emotional readings.

This deck reimagines the classic Rider-Waite-Smith framework through the lens of Paul Foster Case’s esoteric research. Artist Bill Greer utilized Case’s writings as a chromatic primer, selecting hues designed to trigger immediate emotional responses before the eye even registers the scene. The 78 borderless cards merge to form continuous, immersive landscapes when spread, inviting a close, intimate engagement with the symbolism. It is a tactile journey where color precedes meaning, offering a modern yet deeply rooted interpretive experience.

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

Based on the structure of the Rider-Waite Tarot, this uniquely expressive deck features magical imagery presented in deep, saturated colors. The borderless 78-card deck allows the details of tarot scenery and symbolism to be viewed from a close, intimate perspective. Morgan-Greer Tarot draws the reader into its evocative artwork. When laid out in a spread, the full scenes on borderless cards create a beautiful picture. The Morgan-Greer Tarot is the first modern tarot deck based upon the combined research of tarot leaders Arthur Edward Waite and Paul Foster Case. The Case book was used a primer by artist Bill Greer in choosing the colors for the Morgan-Greer deck, so as to "create an emotional reaction to each card even before the image could be looked at in depth."

💎 Expert review

💎
Esoterica Books editorial team
Occult literature desk
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.

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.

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.
