"Pixies With A Purpose"
vs.
"Good Things Come Go Those Who Waite"

Helena vs. Pamela Coleman Smith

Pamela Colman Smith (16 February 1878 – 16 September 1951), nicknamed "Pixie", was a British artist, illustrator, writer, publisher, and occultist. She is best-known for illustrating the Rider–Waite Tarot (also known as the Rider–Waite–Smith or Waite–Smith Tarot) for Arthur Edward Waite. This tarot deck became the standard among tarot card readers, and remains the most widely used today. Smith also illustrated over 20 books, wrote two collections of Jamaican folklore, edited two magazines, and ran the Green Sheaf Press, a small press focused on women writers.


The "1 of Cups" in the Rider-Waite-Smith (RWS) tarot deck—illustrated by Pamela Colman Smith in 1909—is universally known as the Ace of Cups. It represents new beginnings, deep emotional fulfillment, intuition, and unconditional love.
