Summary

Happy International Women's Day! Discover the hidden stories of tarot and divination, traced through the lives and contributions of Lady Frieda Harris, Marie Anne Lenormand, Pamela Colman Smith, and Rachel Pollack - with author and illustrator, Cat Willett.

Her upcoming book, The Women of Tarot: An Illustrated History of Divinators, Card Readers, and Mystics is a vividly illustrated popular history of the cards, and the amazing women behind them. It's available July 2024.
