The Fey has been one of the first LS deck to have the RWS numbering for strength and justice.
Willy or nolly, you will find a lot of RWS under the Fey rug
The process me and Mare used to find a picture for the card was one of destruction and reconstruction. Find a "core" meaning from the traditional and expand on it, shaping it through the Fey and our personal experience.
Sometimes this brought a strong similarity. Other times it led to a totally different direction... like on the 5 of Pentacles, where we played on the "which side of the window we are".
It may help consider my strong opinion that the RWS is an outdated deck. Modern in meaning, but with symbols we don't emphatize with anymore. We now read the RWS just mythically (like a fairy tale) or intellectually.
Our intent has been to bring a more physical, emotive side to some Tarot. Take the hanged man, the lovers, the wheel... they get - feywise speaking - sort of real.
(I hope, at least)
Best,
Ric
