The Queen of Wands

The Story of Pamela Colman Smith, the Artist Behind the Rider-Waite Tarot Deck

By: Cat Willett

Discover the life, work, and magic of Pamela Colman Smith, the visionary artist behind the Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot Deck, the most popular and renowned divination deck in the world. With rich imagery, stunning colors, and an iconic place in the realm of divination, the Rider-Waite Tarot is perhaps the best known deck in the world. Seasoned readers and fledgling diviners alike turn to these cards in search of inspiration, understanding, and even a hint at the future. But the story of their origin is less well known, with their brilliant creator's name stripped away from them for decades. Now, for the first time, mystics, art-lovers, and fortune-tellers will uncover the magical story of Pamela Coleman Smith, rendered in full-color illustrations by artist Cat Willett, and inspired by the work of Pamela herself. From a childhood spent between the United Kingdom and Jamaica, to early artistic success in New York, to involvement in the secret occult society Order of the Golden Dawn, Pamela -- or Pixie, as she was known to many -- had a life full of enchanted inspiration and profound hardship. Through it all, her art acted as a guiding force, culminating in her custom illustrations for the deck that would become the Rider-Waite Tarot. Though she received little money and almost no credit for her contributions to the magical realm in her lifetime, Pixie's impact on tarot, divination, and the worlds of mysticism and the arts have reverberated for nearly 150 years, and her story serves as an enchanted spark. Depicted in whimsical, full-color detail, with interludes tying Pamela to the resurgence of modern magic and the world of tarot throughout, this singular work is a must-read for witches, creatives, and activists.

Women of Tarot

An Illustrated History of Divinators, Card Readers, and Mystics

By: Cat Willett

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—in this vividly illustrated popular history of the cards. Tarot's storied history takes us from the highest circles of Italian Renaissance society through to present day card creators. And throughout that time, women have been the primary drivers of both artistic and magical innovation in the form, though they haven't always been given adequate credit for doing so. Now, for the first time, readers can explore the lives and work of some of the women who have brought us the word's most popular divinatory art. In Women of Tarot celebrated artist and author Cat Willett traces the lives of four women who have pioneered work in tarot and divination. There is Lady Frieda Harris, the nineteenth century British artist and mystic who created the Thoth Tarot with the occultist Aleister Crowley, and Marie Anne Lenormand, the most celebrated fortune teller of eighteenth century France, who brought card reading to the masses. Then readers will meet Pamela Colman Smith, the iconic cross-continental artist whose illustrations adorn the world's most popular tarot deck—the Rider-Waite-Smith Deck—and finally Rachel Pollack, the trans woman responsible for creating scores of decks in her lifetime, as she strove to make tarot an art that was inclusive of all practitioners, especially the LGBTQIA+ community. Woven throughout is a timeline of the development of tarot, as well as miniature profiles of women from cultures around the world whose work has impacted divination and fortune telling, including Nefertiti, Voodoo Queen of New Orleans Marie Laveau, author Zora Neale Hurston, and contemporary artist Nanse Kawashima.

The Imperfect Vegan

Making a difference on a (mostly) plant-based diet

By: Cat White

Finalist - American Writing Awards 2023, (3 categories) Gold Winner - Literary Titan Awards, Dec 2023 Long List - Chanticleer Instructional & Insightful How-To Guides, 2023 “A unique fresh approach to why we ought to be reducing our consumption of meat, fish, and dairy products” ~ Patrick Finnegan, makers of documentary Eating Our Way to Extinction (2021) “Everyone—vegan and non-vegan alike—who cares about our fate and the planet should read this book” ~ Emma Megan, Reader’s Favorite Are you considering going plant-based, but worried it's too hard? It's easier than you think, and our planet needs us. Although hidden in plain sight, animal agriculture is one of the leading causes of climate change: affecting deforestation, water reserves, carbon emissions, ocean pollution, and biodiversity. The easiest and most impactful way you can make a difference is by choosing what's on your plate. Many people feel like they fail at being a 'real vegan' because they can't do it perfectly. The good news is we don't need to be perfect to make a difference. Stepping back from radical veganism, this book will give you: • The truth about what's really happening to our planet and who's responsible • Evidence that plant-based foods are far less environmentally-damaging • Belief that you have the power to make a difference • Reassurance that perfection is not the goal • Simple and practical action steps Packed with real-life stories from other imperfect vegans, evidence-based research, and advice to support your plant-based transition, The Imperfect Vegan is an easy-to-read, relatable guide for how you can be part of the change, and help secure the future of our planet.

A Cat's Tale

A Journey Through Feline History

By: Baba the Cat,Paul Koudounaris

A “fun, fanciful, and even informative” history of felines as revealed by a very learned tabby with a knack for hunting down facts (People). Since the dawn of civilization, felines have prowled alongside mankind as they expanded their territory and spread the myth of human greatness. And today, cats are peddled on social media as silly creatures here to amuse humans with their antics. But this is an absurd, self-centered fantasy. The true history of felines is one of heroism, love, tragedy, sacrifice, and gravitas. Not entirely convinced? Well, get ready, because Baba the Cat is here to set the record straight. Spanning almost every continent and thousands—yes, thousands—of years, Baba’s complex story of feline survival presents readers with a diverse cast of cats long forgotten: from her prehistoric feline ancestors and the ancient Egyptian cat goddess Bastet to the daring mariners at the height of oceanic discovery, key intellectuals in the Enlightenment period, revered heroes from World Wars I and II, and the infamous American tabbies. Baba, a talented model in addition to a scholar, goes beyond surface-level scratches, pairing her freshly unearthed research with a series of stunning costume portraits to bring history to life. A paws-on journey through the feline hall of fame, with in-depth research and four-legged testaments that will make you rethink who defines history, A Cat’s Tale is a one-of-a-kind chronicle that introduces readers to the illustrious ancestors of their closest companions and shows, once and for all, that cats know exactly what they’re doing. “Almost certainly the most unique cat history book ever published.” —Smithsonian Magazine
