Deck of the Week: Medieval Enchantment: Nigel Jackson Tarot

Switching decks this week to Nigel Jackson's Medieval Enchantment Tarot.  This is one of my favorites, though there is still a lot I haven't yet fully gleaned from it.  Jackson created interesting and gorgeous watercolor paintings for each of the cards, which are based on the RWS system but not limited by it - many of the images draw from older Tarot systems or create entirely new imagery to symbolize the card, and this is one of the decks that flips the elements of Swords and Wands so that Swords are Fire and Wands are Air.

I frequently find myself truly loving the symbolism of the cards, checking the LWB and then hating the keywords applied to the cards, so I mostly ignore the book altogether.  Even if I'm not in agreement with the author about inherent positive or negative traits of the cards, these read beautifully for me.
