Medieval Enchantment: The Nigel Jackson Tarot by Nigel Jackson
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful
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.

I had the great privilege of studying privately with the author ijtahid Dr. Mehdi Hairi Yazdi, to my knowledge the only person to master Islamic philosophy in the Iranian medressah system as well as European philosophy, gaining a Ph.d from the University of Toronto. This gave him an unrivalled perspective on a wide variety of philosophical questions.

Dr. Hairi gives a very useful introduction to Islamic philosophy up to the present day. Most European philosophers and historians of philosophy are unaware of the remarkable developments of Islamic philosophy… Read more
