Description:
Discover the life, work, and magic of Pamela Colman Smith, the visionary artist behind the Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot Deck. 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 the cards' art is less well known, with their brilliant creator's name stripped away from the project for decades. Now, for the first time, mystics, art-lovers, and fortune-tellers will uncover the magical story of Pamela Coleman Smith, the creative force behind this singular tool of divination. Beautifully illustrated by artist Cat Willett, and inspired by the work of Pamela herself, The Queen of Wands celebrates the profound legacy of this mystical force and serves as an enchanted spark for witches, creatives, and activists. --Cover
