I have this deck, and I agree, it really is lovely. I have used it,
but prefer to use an actual set of fews which was given to me as a
Yule present a few years back. The fews can give more detailed
readings, and also have a different feel to them. (They're also a LOT
harder to read... it takes me days to puzzle out an interpretation.)

_The Book of the Ogham_ by Edred Thorsson is a good reference. (I've
heard a rumor that it was actually one of his grad students that did
the most work on that book, but I don't know if that is true.) Another
book, I think it is called _Tree Medicine, Tree Magic_ or something
like that, is also very good. Sorry, I don't recall the author of that
one. Each of these books also has other good books in their
bibliographies.

By the way, I consider the fews to be extremely sacred... I don't use
them for everyday divination. ( Well, I should say, commonplace
divination. I don't do divination every day ;-) )
