Cerulean
A friend snapped some pictures of the Wildwood (Mark Ryan and John Matthews with Will Worthington's pictures) cards right next to the same named card in the older deck where Mark Ryan and Chesca Potter co-created together.
The older deck is known as the Greenwood.
Someone from the Tarot Decks thread suggested going to the Herebedragons site to check out the Greenwood deck and Chesca Potter's small scans and write-up and comparing it with their Wildwood for their own studies.
Here is the link as of April 2011 of the herebedragons site information:

I had originally a few jpgs that a friend snapped, but deleted the comparisons. They were not the full decks, but yesterday I deleted them from my phone and processing software.
I hope everyone is having a good study with their decks!
My own preference is to use the Wildwood to reference with my other John and Caitlin Matthews decks/books such as the 1990 Arthurian or 'Grail' texts of the Matthews...(At the Table of the Grail) or maybe later Will Worthington's Druidcraft art...anyway that will have to wait.
Anyone who wants to contribute partial samples as per Aeclectic guidelines or writing comparisons of other decks for study purposes of different Celtic or pagan or oracle decks as they go through their Wildwood Tarot...for instance, if someone likes Will Worthington's swan information in his decks and finds the Druid Animal Oracle write ups of swans adds insight to their ideas in the Wildwood...that sort of thing...

P.S. While I did receive approval to post the eight jpgs that my friend took with my telephone (Android), I had to delete the images. The processing from my Android phone to usable images to reduced jpgs through old laptop software take more time than I have. If I can I will post any general material to Wildwood thread(s) or later detail, be glad to post later perhaps to any study threads.
