For all you magically-inclined Jane Austen fans: The Jane Austen Tarot


According to the product blurb: This well-researched deck seamlessly links the literary works of Jane Austen—characters, conversation, themes—with Tarot symbolism—a provocative convergence flavored with profound meaning.

The Tarot of Jane Austen is the result of an exhaustive research, concerning the links between literature and the symbolic world of the Tarot. Characters, dialogues and customs converge to create a meaning that is at the same time erudite, intuitive and profound.

The Pride & Prejudice imagery is taken from the Greer Garson film version. The costume designer wanted more opulence, so they reused Gone with the Wind costumes for background characters, and did new out-of-period costumes for the main characters.

It's an abomination unto Nuggan.

Oh, is THAT where it came from. I haven't seen that movie version since I was maybe 12 at the most, and I'd forgotten. I was looking at those sleeves and going, 1830s at the earliest? Er, no?

An abomination indeed!
