Discover the hidden stories of tarot and divination through the lives and contributions of Lady Frieda Harris, Marie Anne Lenormand, Pamela Colman Smith, and Rachel Pollack in this vividly illustrated history of the cards. From the Italian Renaissance to modern-day creators, women have been pivotal in both the artistic and magical evolution of tarot, often without due recognition. For the first time, readers can delve into the lives of these influential women who shaped the world's most popular divinatory art. Lady Frieda Harris, a British artist and mystic, collaborated with occultist Aleister Crowley to create the Thoth Tarot. Marie Anne Lenormand, the renowned fortune teller of 18th-century France, popularized card reading. Pamela Colman Smith, known for her iconic illustrations, contributed to the Rider-Waite-Smith Deck, the most widely used tarot deck today. Rachel Pollack, a trans woman, created numerous decks, advocating for inclusivity in tarot, particularly for the LGBTQIA+ community. The narrative is enriched with a timeline of tarot's development and profiles of women from diverse cultures who have influenced divination, including Nefertiti, Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau, author Zora Neale Hurston, and contemporary artist Nanse Kawashima.
