Atlantis Bookshop will be hosting an event at The Plough Bloomsbury Pamela Colman Smith & Her Muses. The presentation will center on Pamela Colman Smith, born 1878, in Pimlico, London, and will discover her muses for her iconic tarot deck, printed in 1909. We will track the when, where and how Pamela met Dame Ellen Terry, celebrity actress, muse and patron, and Florence Farr, actress, producer, director and teacher, and how these two women may have inspired her two tarot cards, The Empress and the High Priestess. Susan will also talk about how this research inspired the plot for her 2024 release of High Priestess and Empress, Book Two, Arcana Oracle Series. There will be a powerpoint presentation and demonstration tarot reading, along with books to sign.

Susan Wands will be a panelist with the NYC Chapter of the Historical Novel Society at 6:30 pm on October 22nd!
Host Sarah Relyea will interview Jeanne Mackin and Susan Wands to explore how historical novelists handle iconic characters and their descendants with regard to self-censorship, publisher and reader expectations, and other constraints on authorial freedom. Jeanne Mackin’s Picasso’s Lovers presents a tangled and vivid portrait of the women caught in Picasso’s charismatic orbit through the affairs, the scandals, and the art. Mackin will share the challenges of working with a man as famous, or infamous, as Picasso. Susan Wands’ High Priestess and Empress explores early-20th century London society through the career of artist and seer Pamela Colman Smith, illustrator of the popular Waite-Smith tarot deck. Wands will share her process of working with this fascinating figure, with roots in Brooklyn, London, and Jamaica and contacts among London’s actors, writers, occultists—and even royalty. A short Q&A will follow the panel presentation, with a meet and greet with the authors, along with light refreshments and book signings.
This is an in-person event which will be audio-recorded for our podcast. Because space is limited, please RSVP below:
