Have you ever wondered where Tarot came from?

I mean, where it really came from?

Like many parts of history, Tarot has a shadowy past––and unsung heroines who haven’t received their rightful credit for its rise.

Luckily, artist and writer Cat Willett was inspired to dive into Tarot’s origins… and is now sharing the truth about the women behind Tarot with the world. 

In this fascinating interview, Cat and I dig deep into the reality of the women who pushed Tarot’s forward, the gender divide in Tarot, how we’re taking our intuitive power back as women, and so much more!

Tune in for:

  • [1:08] Where Cat’s fascination with Tarot and Pamela Colman Smith began
  • [6:30] Lesser-known secrets about Pamela Colman Smith
  • [11:14] Who the hidden women of Tarot are, and how Cat discovered them
  • [17:30] How the gender divide in Tarot is shifting
  • [33:06] Where Cat predicts Tarot is heading in the next 10-20 years

If you’re a Tarot history fan, you won’t want to miss this episode!
