Question by imdwrg: Where can I find an online handbook-type thing for the Rider-Waite Tarot Deck?
I bought a Rider Waite Tarot Deck without the little booklet, and I was wondering if there were any sites that had that info available (not for sale, Just a site I can go to)

You’d really be better off purchasing a comprehensive book. The Rider-Waite is the most popular Tarot deck available at the moment and Amazon.com as well as any major bookstore with have at least a half dozen books on the interpretation of the deck.

Also for a book recommendation: Tarot for Your Self by Mary K Greer
The website mentioned above is the one I was going to recommend. It has a section with interpretations and they are geared towards the Rider-Waite deck.
The book I’m most fond of is Eden Gray’s The Complete Guide to the Tarot.

The definitive handbook for that particular deck is called “The Pictorial Key to the Tarot” I say it is definitive because it was written by Waite himself. I should warn you that A. E. Waite’s style of prose is not very appealing to today’s readers. However the book is in the public domain at least in the US and is available for free at the sacred texts website.
I am doing a tarot course with Holistic Paths to Wisdom. They also have a forum and you can ask what ever you need to about rider waites & the tarot in general. Its is free & worth a look. http://www.holisticpathstowisdom.co.uk/forum/index.php
