Why Mistresses instead of Queens?
The legendary Marquise. One of the four Mistress cards in the limited edition Major Arcana cards shortly available. We replaced Queens with Mistresses. Well, to name but one, who wouldn’t prefer Our Lady of intelligent elegance to our own dear Queen?
The Marquise once referred to me as a ‘tempestuous Puck-like talent’. Well, I’ve always been a fool. For Puck’s sake. As for The Tempest, I’ve reached Prospero vintage. Hence 22 new Tarot doorways. Taboos to confront. Obsessions to nurture. Moonlit paths through the tangled forest.
Ruth Ramsden has dipped her quill deep into decades of lived wisdom to realise these visions. What’s more, she managed not to murder me during the period of its conception. (While knowing that no court in the country would have convicted her.)
