Caroline Diezyn delves deep into the life of Pamela Colman Smith, uncovering the rich narrative surrounding the creation of the iconic Rider Waite Smith tarot deck. This exploration reveals Smith not just as a talented artist but as a significant figure within the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, a society deeply rooted in esoteric knowledge and practices. Through meticulous research, Diezyn paints a vivid picture of Smith's contributions and the complexities of her artistic vision.

As the narrative unfolds, readers are invited to explore the intricate relationships Smith cultivated with prominent sorcerers of her time. The book elegantly weaves together personal anecdotes, historical context, and the mystique surrounding the tarot and its symbols. Diezyn’s insights bring to light Smith's struggles against societal norms and the shadows of history, emphasizing her dedication to her craft and the spiritual world.

With a compelling blend of biography and historical analysis, this work serves as a tribute to an often-overlooked pioneer. It not only celebrates Smith's genius but also prompts readers to reconsider the lineage of tarot and its artists, highlighting how they shaped the very essence of modern divination practices.
