A tribute to Pamela Colman Smith
Today I want to highlight the woman in the history of tarot: Pamela Colman Smith.
Today, tarot is a space largely influenced, represented, and lived in by women. It’s probable that women have always been the predominant practitioners of kitchen-table divination, but during tarot’s significant rise in the cultural zeitgeist of the early 1900s, men were the gatekeepers and the ones who received the credit, to the extent that the most widely used and recognized tarot deck in history did not attribute any credit to the artist who brought it to life.
