He has also collaborated as illustrator of published work by authors such as Nigel Pennick and Nicholaj de Mattos Frisvold.

An Illuminationist and Hermeticist in the Transcendent Tradition, Nigel has been involved for over 25 years in expressing the symbolic 'language of the gods' through his visual art which he views as an initiatory 'alchemy of the imagination.' His deck Medieval Enchantment: The Nigel Jackson Tarot has been published by Llewellyn and he is presently working on another Tarot deck for publication.
