  • Pamela Colman Smith was the Illustrator of the Rider Waite Tarot deck. Her life was filled with highs and lows, and she may well have fallen into obscurity if US Games Systems founder, Stuart Kaplan, hadn't taken a keen interest in her, and worked to preserve her legacy. This is her story.

      I'll take that into consideration! I've got a great book on her life that I need to dig into further - so many ups and downs. She really was an amazing woman and more people need to know her story.

      Ladies I’m a huge PCS fan girl, if you want a GREAT book about her read “Magician and Fool” by Susan Wands. Amazon has it for pretty cheap and it’s amazing. I’m also half British half Jamaican (unfortunately I’m white as a ghost 😩 ffs) but I digress...I naturally gravitated toward her, and I’m so glad I did, because she was an incredible mind. She saw colors when music played, I forget what they call that but it’s really rare, and she was naturally psychic. I could go on forever but instead of reading my babbling get the book! Lol ☮️ &♥️

    I really enjoyed this video. I clicked when I saw her name. It’s sad she didn’t receive recognition but for some reason I feel grateful that she is being recognized now.

    I really enjoyed your Tarot Tuesday on Pamela Colman. I'm a big fan of the "Waite-Smith" tradition. Also, I have been reading the book "Secrets of the Waite-Smith" and your video totally covered many parts of the book. Great review, visuals and presentation. Thank you! 🌟🌟🌟

    So you said in the beginning of this that she was a women of color, however you never expanded on this. When I look her up I find no evidence. Could you explain how you came to this conclusion please.

      She isn’t(*wasn’t). She cosplayed as a Jamaican and sometimes Roma woman and that made people assume that she was. Both of her parents are white people who were well off and connected.

    Haha I came across this after picking up the miniature deck too! When I started years ago as a preteen with the jumbo cards they never had her info card in it and it was an authorised deck iirc. I put her in my phone case and take her with me
