Tarot Waite - Smith. A New Look at the Legendary Deck and the Illustrations by Pamela Colman Smith

A new look at the legendary Tarot deck and the history of its creation! Until recently, the name of artist Pamela Colman Smith was not widely known. And it was she who, in 1909, created the illustrations for the 78 Tarot cards that became famous all over the world under the name "Tarot Waite". To this day, this Tarot deck remains the most famous and recognizable. Restoring historical justice, Scott Martin in his book explains how Pamela Colman Smith used her experience as a theater artist in her work and what meanings she brought to the legendary deck.

A new perspective on the legendary Tarot deck:
• The true contribution of Pamela Colman Smith to the creation of "Tarot Waite".
• The influence of theater and stage art on the images of Tarot Waite-Smith.
• Original interpretation of the Major and Minor Arcana considering stage symbolism.
• Useful exercises for better understanding, interpreting, and reading the cards.

 "In his book, Scott Martin breaks the fourth wall between you and Tarot. He used his 45 years of experience in theater to read the visual stories told by Pamela Colman Smith, giving a lightness and immediacy to the interpretation of the cards. This book will forever change your approach to reading and understanding Tarot." — Sasha Graham, author of "Dark wood Tarot. Tarot of the Dark Forest"
