4.0 out of 5 stars truly enchanting 11 April 2007
By Kalfu
Nigel Jackson's Medieval Enchantment Tarot is simply beautiful and truly enchanting - the watercolour illustrations of each card give this deck a somewhat romantic flair but at the same times present deep insight into the meanings of each card. The backs of the cards are stunning also - coloured in deep blue and white with yellow highlights, a design resembling the sigils of the Goetia, showing the infinity symbol in the centre and stars bordered around the outside.

Even though stunningly beautiful, some pictures are not true to the "original" divinatory meaning of the tarot. One disappointment was 5 of Cups - a card usually associated with loss and the message no longer look at what is lost but to "turn around" and appreciate the good that is still there. This card usually shows a person grieving over 3 cups in front of him or her that have been tipped over and spilled out, whilst 2 cups are still standing behind the person. The Medieval Enchantment Tarot shows a person looking at 5 cups hanging in a cloudy sky. Several other cards are also - let's say - opening the possibility for different interpretation then what could be considered "traditional".

All in all an amazing tarot deck worth having and using!

5.0 out of 5 stars Breathtakingly Beautiful Tarot Images 18 July 2004
By Christopher Warnock - Published on Amazon.com
The title "Medieval Enchantment" is well chosen for Llewellyn's newest release of Nigel Jackson's splendid Tarot deck. Each Tarot card is a window into its own world, painstakingly rendered in an original watercolor painting by this renowned esoteric authority and artist.

Subsequent tarot decks have adopted the Rider-Waite's innovative use of individual scenes for the Minor as well as Major Arcana, but few give such impetus to the imagination and inspiration as Nigel's evocative and bewitching images.

While in the general line of Tarot decks based on the Rider-Waite, Nigel doesn't hesitate to innovate within that tradition, using thoughtful new elemental assignments and his own magical take on the subjects for each card. The deck is easily accessible and useable by main stream Tarot practitioners while still being ingenious enough in its variations to pique our unconscious and draw forth our inner divinatory powers.

While no one buys a Tarot deck for the instructions, the added mini-book provides a fascinating look into Tarot history, theory and philosophy as well as delving into the Orphic Mysteries, Pythagoras, Hermeticism, astrological magic and talismans and a host of other esoteric topics and their relation to Tarot. Full divinatory explanations for each card are also provided.

Truly a glorious deck, full of exquisite and sublime images!

5.0 out of 5 stars Faithful Tarot, Well Rendered Symbolism 26 Oct 2006
By Theophilus - Published on Amazon.com
I have been using Nigel Jackson's Medieval Enchantment tarot for a couple of years now. Nigel has stayed true to the traditional deck, following the earlier symbolism before modernism attempted to rework everything. There is no lack of originality here. In faith, it is closer to the original by far than any modern reinterpretation.

The little book accompanying the deck is a trove of information. It is appropriate for beginners, being well referenced and inferring much that cannot be put into words. Folks more familiar with the philosophy will find it enchantingly succinct, yet echoing profundity.

This is a no nonesense presentation. Don't be afraid of the big words.

He has not 'switched' the elementals of Swords and Staves (as a former reveiwer of his mini kit has complained), rather has stayed true to the original designations. While the Golden Dawn receives much attention, it should be remembered that Mathers compiled many systems into one. This undoubtedly led to many changes. (Users of his Enochian tablets should notice this, if they are familiar with Dee to any degree.)

If you're looking for a purer Tarot, unclouded by human ego and the need for reinvention--one that faithfully captures the earliest renderings of the potent symbolism--Nigel Jackson's deck is it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Deck 12 Aug 2007
By Susan - Published on Amazon.com
This is a truly beautiful deck that clicks instantly for interpetation. I love it. Uses a bit of pre RWS symbolism which is always refreshing nowadays. The book is concise and interesting.
