The faeries aren't detailed or striking and are most likely the most un-realistic aspects of the deck. Also, they are all done in black and white, a single colour with numerous tones that are normally brilliant and glowing. These faeries aren't quite the Sylphs of the Component of Air. The birds appearing in this fit are what ties it together.

The backgrounds in the match of Swords normally have mountains or hills, and sometimes barren fields.  Key Reference  tend to represent the Aspect of Air, simply think of it's Alchemical sign! The 5 of Swords is among the biggest discrepancies from RWS Tradition found in The Witches Tarot; 5 Swords levitate, fanned out, pointing to a dragonfly, as faeries flit about.

Dugan's Wands are all made the very same "a flowering branch of hawthorn adorned with red ribbons" (p. 170 of Dugan's Witches Tarot Companion). She informs us that she picked the tree because it is connected with the Aspect of Fire, however then includes that it is also associated with faeries (of the Air/Swords match).

As far as mythological animals go, a couple of Dragons are included (which some would associate with the Component of Spirit/Ether) but no Salamanders, the usual associated creature with the Element of Fire. The dragons appear most significantly in the 5 of Wands where there is one dragon to represent each of the 5 Components (Blue for Water, Green for Earth, Gold for Air, Red for Fire, and Purple for Spirit).

In addition to the dragons, Dugan makes use of mostly golden/orange felines (see: 2, 4, Page, Queen, and King of Wands), which she relates to Fire. Everybody in the fit of Wands are worn red and gold. Note that the 6 of Wands could quickly be mistaken for the Knight of Wands, as they are both males riding valiantly on horseback.

In Dugan's post 'Every Card Tells a Story ...', she recommendations a nephew that might be the Page of Wands. In the match of Pentacles, all however one card (3 of Pentacles) are done in Gold. This especially upsets me, according to the majority of Pagan and Wiccan traditions, the Pentacle is basically constantly Silver, as Silver is connected with the Goddess; who rules over Earth and the Moon, and the Elements of Water and Earth.
