The entire StaarCon community mourns the loss of Rachel Pollack, who left her earthly form in April 2023 after a long illness.
We are grateful that Rachel was able to be a headlining presenter at StaarCon 2022.
We extend our heartfelt sympathies to her family and friends.
Rachel was beloved in the tarot community. She was as an award-winning science fiction author, and a writer for DC Comics. She remains an inspiration to many, especially within the trans community and amongst trans allies.
Rachel Pollack was a defining voice in modern tarot. Without her books, and without the wisdom she freely shared at conferences and workshops around the world, we would not have our current understanding of tarot.
We will think of her and honor her memory each time we work with our cards and each time we gather as a community.
