To celebrate the launch of the eagerly anticipated Modern Witch Tarot, creator Lisa Sterle dropped into Watkins Books to give some insight into this vivacious and contemporary deck. In a lively interview with Eleanor Tremeer, Lisa revealed the origins of the Modern Witch, explaining its similarities and differences with the Rider-Waite-Smith, and defending her decision to focus on women and non-binary people in her quest to create a diverse, body-positive, and feminist tarot.
