We don't want to get too far off topic.But we have found both Charles Williams in "War in Heaven" and A.E.Thierens in "General Book of the Tarot" using "Fun" as what appears to be
a coded word.A couple of months ago we accidentally ran into Kenji on the web and saw that he was talking about Pamela actually being the creator of the pack and we noticed that he said that while he had founded many magical groups he was only having fun. We couldn't find the quote a second time but we thought it possible that he actually had a magical group called "fun" related to some PCS group.
We aren't Tarot experts but Roger had very bad cataracts for about three years and we did a lot of work arranging his files for him and he uses a lot of high grade visionary work in our literature and art lessons.He is not giving us any Tarot or Shakespeare to publish which we are not able to understand.
It would be very exciting if Pamela were shown to actually have had some sort of occult connection but the evidence,right now,is all against it.When Roger started his researches
back in the 1960's he was filled with hope that he could find Pamela alive.He talked to at least seven people who knew her (two kids with whom she used to babysit!) and became very well acquainted with Geoffrey Watkins and Padraic Colum both of whom knew her over decades.
No one had any supernatural stories at all.She was a lot of ,well,fun,very humorous,very adaptable,really good at impersonations and story telling,no one had one unkind word to say about her.She was a good friend to all.
But there were two things he noticed out of all this
1) No one had a specific personal quote or a personal biographical anecdote.There were the wonderful folk stories she told,all the kind things she did,the charming art she improvised on short notice;but nothing about what she believed, that she ever studied anything,that she ever talked about other people she knew or things that happened in her own life.
None of the many friends who knew her reported ever hearing from her again after 1917 or 1918(the year varied). Roger met three different people who gave the same vague smile and asked, very pleasantly,"Whatever did happen to Pixie?" If he found her they'd like to be in touch too.
It seems she had a habit of simply not being seen for periods of time and then one day she'd be back and start right in where she left off with them.He got exactly the same story in New York,London and Dublin.
One day she just never came back at all, but,due to her irregular visiting habits, it was years before everyone realized that she was actually gone .
Roger once saw a drawing collection dating from the twenties for a projected book of Scottish Folk Tales with a known London publisher;but she never went back.She needed money in latter years but she never wrote back to any of the many friends who would have been happy to get her work.
She never claimed the art work she left with the Yeats brothers who adored her.
She was the ultimate mysterious person because it didn't appear that there was anything mysterious at all about her.
The Scottish folk tale drawings and letters belonged to Waite editor Leslie Shepherd of Dublin,Ireland.
