ABSTRACT
In Katherine Olivetti’s interview with Pamela Eakins, they explore her path from Stanford academic to Tarot and visionary cosmologist. Eakins describes the creation of the Tarot of the Spirit deck, which she modeled on the Tree of Life that contains the ten powers or points of the Tarot. They discuss the collaboration with Eakins’s mother, Joyce Eakins, an artist who painted the Tarot deck, and the synchronicity that led to its publication along with development of Visionary Cosmology, which incorporates contemporary science as a way to redefine the paradigms of how we see and walk in the world.
