Nigel Jackson Tarot
What an absolutely beautiful tarot deck! Nigel Jackson did a wonderful job. The deck follows Marseilles style of order and naming but Rider Waite in that all cards (even pips) are fully illustrated. A couple of modifications (although not really modifications as they are true to the original Marseilles) should be noted: the magician is the juggler, high priestess is the popess, heirophant is the pope, and strength is fortitude. The art is truly beautiful ... captivating even. Symbolism is quite plentiful, so the deck will be excellent for beginners to advanced readers.
Cards measure a whopping 3.75 by 5.75 inches, which is my only complaint about the deck. The cards are too long for me to bridge shuffle, which is my preferred method. I'm a bit torn, though, since I wouldn't want these fabulous images to be any smaller. So, I just deal with it, and it is well worth it. Card stock is ideal, not too stiff but not flimsy either. I have the deck and book set, which is packaged very well. Llewellyn and Jackson truly did a marvelous job.
I recommend this deck for EVERYONE! It's really that good in my opinion. I highly recommend the deck and book set, as the book is just as fabulous as the deck! Go out and get this deck!!
