Download or read book The Queen of Wands written by Cat Willett and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2022-09-13 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: Queen of Wands by Katee Robert When Jenny O'Keirna gets a chance to slip her older brother, the new king of Hansarda's, leash, she jumps at it, even if it means playing babysitter to a too-smart-for-his-own-good inventor. She's not expecting the attraction that sparks between them—or that Sanctify is just as desperate to take him for their own. Never in Mac Flannery's wildest dreams did he imagine Jenny would be the one sent for him. He sees beyond the mad grin the sexy princess of Hansarda presents to the world, and that combination of vulnerability and wicked humor is a siren call he can't resist. But Sanctify is always three steps ahead of them. On the run—and unable to keep their hands off each other—Jenny and Mac devise an insane plan: kidnap the leader of Sanctify, and stop this war once and for all. Unfortunately, they've just played right into his hands...

Download or read book The Queen of Swords written by Judy Grahn and published by Beacon Press (MA). This book was released on 1987 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A wise and witty collection of poetry and drama, The Queen of Swords is a magnificent re-creation of an ancient myth. Based on the five-thousand-year-old Sumerian story of the perilous descent of Inanna, Queen of Heaven and Earth, to the underworld to expand her worldly powers, the book retells Inanna's story in a poetic drama and two long poems. The play 'The Queen of Swords' is set in a modern context, an underground lesbian bar where Nothing is the bartender and seven Crow Dykes confound definition. Helen, the modern-day Inanna, a goddess of beauty, life, and light, descends to this underworld bar and confronts the midnight queen of creative violence and transformation, Ereshkigal. The relationship that develops between these two female mythic characters is a powerful metaphor for the struggles that attend all human transformations. The two long poems in the second half of The Queen of Swords are also about descent and struggle. In 'Descent to the Roses of the Family' a contemporary American woman speaks to her brother about their parents, asking him to help her avoid teh same descent to misery that her parents endured--violence, alcoholism, madness. The final poem, 'Talkers in a Dream Doorway,' is a passionate tribute to the powers women have developed and a testimony to the delicate balancing these powers require."--Jacket.
