The Woman Behind The World’s Most Famous Tarot Deck Was Nearly Lost In History

For centuries, people of all walks of life have turned to tarot to divine what may lay ahead and reach a higher level of self-understanding.

The cards’ enigmatic symbols have become culturally ingrained in music, art and film, but the woman who inked and painted the illustrations of the most widely used set of cards today – the Rider-Waite deck from 1909, originally published by Rider & Co. – fell into obscurity, overshadowed by the man who commissioned her, Arthur Edward Waite.

Now, over 70 years after her death, the creator Pamela Colman Smith has been included in a new exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York highlighting many underappreciated artists of early 20th-century American modernism in addition to famous names like Georgia O’Keeffe and Louise Nevelson.

You've spent a big part of the day helping and accompanying your brother for both of your doctors' checkups, sharing the resources, time, and energy as you waited in line for the doctor. Beneath that, there was both good news and bad news. Good news for your brother, bad health news for you. It's time for you to minimize and then quit the smoking habit. That's life, no matter how productive you are in life. Bad news also happens along with the good news. The advice card is the ten of Earth, reminding you that you are actually creating a wonderfully productive synthesis of your day and life by choosing to be proactive and productive. Be reminded that everything is coming together and enjoy the rewards that may come.

Packing away my Astromatrix Tarot for storage.

My Amazon order just arrived today... I had ordered a fortune telling resource book, the 100 percent plastic RWS tarot deck, and one of those PVC hologram gold foil tarot decks. I made those purchases because I noticed that my cardboard/paper tarot decks are starting to show signs of wear, and I wanted to have a tarot deck for my daily use that can last a lifetime.

I got the PVC deck because I thought that they would photograph well, but while they look amazing in person.... they don't look good in photos.... I am satisfied with the 100 percent plastic RWS and I am gonna be using that for my daily tarot practice, which means my Astromatrix tarot deck now goes to storage. I love that deck. If it weren't for the signs of wear that it's getting, I would have continued to use it.

Above are my test photos of the holographic gold foil PVC tarot deck.. It looks good in person but not so much when I try to photograph them... which is a big part of my daily tarot divination/meditation thing.
