Queen of Tarot
When it comes to tarot cards, there is an artistry to designing a world of emperors, fools, priestesses, hermits and other iconic figures. But few people know about Pamela Colman Smith, the woman who illustrated the best selling deck of all time. Professor Elizabeth Foley O\u2019Connor and author Susan Wands explain why Pamela Colman Smith was uniquely suited to design tarot cards that stimulate our intuition and our imagination \u2013 and how figures on the Rider-Waite (a.k.a. Smith-Waite) deck are based on a real troupe of famous actors, including Bram Stoker.\xa0\nHere's the link to Susan Wands' novel about Pamela Colman Smith:\nhttps://www.amazon.com/Magician-Fool-Susan-Wands/dp/1999764676\nLearn more about your ad choices.
