Jason Ennis Tarot Cards

Published March 24, 1996 Updated August 23, 2023

Jason Ennis was a self trained artist interested in man's nature, his powers and abilities.

1999 On the CardsTarot
Wisdom

"Jason Ennis was a self trained artist. He was very serious when it came to his art. His interests lay in many fields but especially the Occult and Mysticism.

Jason sought to understand man's nature, his powers and abilities."

[Stephen Ennis, September 1999].

"The Advanced Arcanum cards which my brother created were designed to be more accurate than the tarot. The whole deck numbers about 40 cards. They are quite unique, as was my brother."

Through personal suffering and purgatory, the soul rids itself of accumulated sins and ignorance, gradually moving towards the light and the way of illumination.

I am the founder of The World of Playing Cards (est. 1996), a website dedicated to the history, artistry and cultural significance of playing cards and tarot. Over the years I have researched various areas of the subject, acquired and traded collections and contributed as a committee member of the IPCS and graphics editor of The Playing-Card journal. Having lived in Chile, England, Wales, and now Spain, these experiences have shaped my work and passion for playing cards. Amongst my achievements is producing a limited-edition replica of a 17th-century English pack using woodblocks and stencils—a labour of love. Today, the World of Playing Cards is a global collaborative project, with my son Adam serving as the technical driving force behind its development. His innovative efforts have helped shape the site into the thriving hub it is today. You are warmly invited to become a contributor and share your enthusiasm.
