Pixie's Astounding Lenormand in a Tin

Edmund Zebrowski is an artist, diviner, massage therapist, and Reiki healer. He has been reading cards for over 25 years for himself and others, and has taught classes on both Tarot and Lenormand reading. His mother was a librarian and art teacher who instilled in him a love of learning and art.

His dedication to Apollo and the Muses leads him down several different paths of crafting. In addition to the decks he creates, he also dabbles in bookbinding, jewelry making, and carved divination altars. He hopes to offer one-of-a-kind items from time to time.

Pamela Colman Smith was born to American parents on February 16, 1878, in Middlesex, England. She spent her childhood years between London, New York, and Kingston, Jamaica. During her teens, she traveled throughout England with the theatre company of Ellen Terry and Henry Irving. Thereafter, she began formal art training at Pratt Institute of Brooklyn, graduating in 1897.

Pamela returned to England, where she became a theatrical designer for miniature theatre and an illustrator, mainly of books, pamphlets, and posters. Around 1903, she joined the Order of the Golden Dawn. In 1909, under the guidance of Arthur Edward Waite, she undertook a series of seventy-eight allegorical paintings described by Waite as a rectified tarot pack. The designs, published in the same year by William Rider and Son, exemplify Pamela's mysticism, ritual, imagination, fantasy, and deep emotions.
