Discover the life, work, and magic of Pamela Colman Smith, the
visionary artist behind the Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot Deck, the most
popular and renowned divination deck in the world. With rich
imagery, stunning colors, and an iconic place in the realm of
divination, the Rider-Waite Tarot is perhaps the best known deck in
the world. Seasoned readers and fledgling diviners alike turn to
these cards in search of inspiration, understanding, and even a
hint at the future. But the story of their origin is less well
known, with their brilliant creator's name stripped away from them
for decades. Now, for the first time, mystics, art-lovers, and
fortune-tellers will uncover the magical story of Pamela Coleman
Smith, rendered in full-color illustrations by artist Cat Willett,
and inspired by the work of Pamela herself. From a childhood spent
between the United Kingdom and Jamaica, to early artistic success
in New York, to involvement in the secret occult society Order of
the Golden Dawn, Pamela -- or Pixie, as she was known to many --
had a life full of enchanted inspiration and profound hardship.
Through it all, her art acted as a guiding force, culminating in
her custom illustrations for the deck that would become the
Rider-Waite Tarot. Though she received little money and almost no
credit for her contributions to the magical realm in her lifetime,
Pixie's impact on tarot, divination, and the worlds of mysticism
and the arts have reverberated for nearly 150 years, and her story
serves as an enchanted spark. Depicted in whimsical, full-color
detail, with interludes tying Pamela to the resurgence of modern
magic and the world of tarot throughout, this singular work is a
must-read for witches, creatives, and activists.
