FLizarraga Posted April 10, 2023 Posted April 10, 2023 (edited) I did not even know she was ill, and just found out today about her passing through this piece in The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/apr/08/rachel-pollack-trans-activist-and-comic-book-writer-dies-aged-77 Rest in peace, Rachel. What a full life you led, and what a wonderful legacy you have left behind. Edited April 10, 2023 by FLizarraga
gregory Posted April 12, 2023 Posted April 12, 2023 78 degrees is seminal. Her book on the Haindl is definitive. Her legacy is tremendous.

RunningWild Posted April 20, 2023 Posted April 20, 2023 This was on my news feed this morning: https://www.npr.org/2023/04/14/1168403462/rachel-pollack-obituary-tarot NPR, for those who don't know, stands for National Public Radio and is an American non-profit organization.
gregory Posted April 20, 2023 Posted April 20, 2023 I should have linked the Guardian one from the UK: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/apr/08/rachel-pollack-trans-activist-and-comic-book-writer-dies-aged-77 I thought it was excellent.
Chariot Posted April 20, 2023 Posted April 20, 2023 She was truly a wonderful, courageous, and innovative person. Some people leave a bigger hole behind than others. She leaves a huge one. I just finished reading her 78 Degrees Of Wisdom for the first time, a few weeks ago. But the very first tarot book I ever bought (aside from the little white books in the deck boxes), back in the early 1990s, was her The New Tarot. I still have that and still refer to it often. It's hard to get my head around the fact that she is gone. 😞
DanielJUK Posted April 21, 2023 Posted April 21, 2023 Everyone is absolutely welcome to post articles and obituaries they have seen online about Rachel, there are some great ones out there and she has had tv and radio coverage globally as well as newspapers and news sites ❤️ About Rachel in our community here. I started a thread a while ago asking for everyone's favourite books. It's to have a reference thread of tarot books and I think her Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom has been one of the most recommended books 🙂 - Also back on our second birthday, we had interviews with some of the major Queens of Tarot, including Rachel - https://www.thetarotforum.com/anniversary/ She would have most liked to have read for Hermes 🙂
