Abstract

In 1909, the occult publishing firm Rider and Son issued a pack of Tarot cards created by the artist Pamela Coleman Smith and the writer Arthur Edward Waite, both members of The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. This new Tarot linked a divination device that originated in the eighteenth century with current esoteric ideas. T. S. Eliot’s use of the cards in The Waste Land fixed the image of Tarot as the embodiment of a mystical quest, and, as the most available Tarot in the twentieth century, the Rider Pack provided an enduring set of images and meanings for Tarot mythology, which continues to influence speculative fiction and to create new interactive storytelling memes through Tarot readings.

摘要

1909 年，神秘出版公司 Rider and Son 发行了由艺术家帕梅拉科尔曼史密斯和作家亚瑟爱德华韦特创作的一包塔罗牌，他们都是金色黎明的赫尔墨斯教团成员。这张新塔罗牌将起源于 18 世纪的占卜装置与当前深奥的思想联系起来。TS Eliot 在《荒原》中使用卡片，将塔罗牌的形象固定为神秘任务的化身，作为 20 世纪最可用的塔罗牌，骑士包为塔罗牌神话提供了一套经久不衰的形象和意义，它继续影响投机小说，并通过塔罗牌阅读创造新的互动故事模因。
