Episode 003: The Pixie and the Dead Waite
Monday, 5 June, 2017
In 1910, a London publishing company debuted what would become the most popular tarot deck of all time: the Rider Waite. But it wasn't Rider or Waite who designed the deck. The Rider Waite was illustrated by a woman, whose name never made it onto the packaging—or into history. This is the story of two artists who designed popular tarot decks: one filled with art nouveau symbolism and the cats of famed stage actresses, the other packed with New Wave musicians like David Bowie and Debbie Harry. This is the story of two women—born 101 years apart. CREDITS Thank you to Amanda Stilwell of LastCraft for talking with me. You can find LastCraft online and on Instagram.
