The Rider–Waite tarot deck depicts the skeleton carrying a black standard emblazoned with The White Rose of York. Surrounding the Grim Reaper are dead and dying people from all classes, including kings, bishops and commoners. In some decks, the Grim Reaper is riding a pale horse, and often he is wielding a sickle or scythe. The Death card usually depicts the Grim Reaper, the personification of Death. There are other decks that title Death as "Rebirth" or "Death-Rebirth." Some decks, such as the Tarot of Marseilles and the Visconti Sforza Tarot omit the name from the card, calling it "The Card with No Name", often with the implication of a broader meaning than literal death. The card typically depicts the Grim Reaper, and when used for divination is often interpreted as signifying major changes in a person's life. It is used in tarot card games as well as in divination. Death, Rider–Waite–Smith tarot deckĭeath (XIII) is the 13th trump or Major Arcana card in most traditional tarot decks.

Waite is a master occultist, he knows full well what the cards mean but he merely hints here & there, he divulges no secrets. So you'd think his remarks about his own deck would be definitive, but no. Waite was the man who designed the most popular tarot deck of all time, one of the most subtle & beautiful of all decks.
