W.B. YEATS Invented the Rider-Waite -Smith TAROT?

Let's find out together!! Did W.B. Yeats Invent the Rider–Waite–Smith Tarot? Roger Parisious on Waite’s Hidden Code: An introduction presents Roger Parisious, an archivist of Yeats materials, who delivers a talk making two major claims about the Rider–Waite–Smith Tarot and A.E. Waite’s writings. Roger Parisious argues Waite’s 1909–1915 tarot-related publications form a deliberate coded scheme, including distinctions between The Key to the Tarot and The Pictorial Key to the Tarot, the pseudonymous Manual of Cartomancy, Waite’s December 1909 article “The Tarot of Wheel of Fortune,” and The Book of Destiny. He claims W.B. Yeats was a hidden collaborator and co-creator of the tarot pack, and that the deck functions as a rotating “great wheel” and a Grail/Arthurian memorial system, with court and trump correspondences and dance-like geometric patterns (circles, squares, chessboard, knight’s moves) traced through sources such as Charles Williams and John O’Neill’s The Night of the Gods.
