Description

Welcome to the lives of Pamela Colman Smith (‘Pixie’) and Madge Gill. Two very different women from contrasting backgrounds who were born during the reign of Queen Victoria. Both are remembered now for the interesting and unique individuals they were. Celebrated and finding fame posthumously, Colman Smith is known principally for her illustrations of the Rider-Waite Tarot deck and Gill for her art, spiritual beliefs and second-sight. What binds them together, aside from their being artists and unconventional for their time, is how their lives were touched by the areas of astrology, magic, psychic abilities and spiritualism. This book looks at their lives and uses an astrological narrative to help better understand what drove them and how they managed their challenges and successes. Illustrated with photographs and images.
