I have only just recently acquired this deck and have been working with it this week and it is truly amazing. However, all I have to guide interpretation is the LWB that came with, and while it is very helpful, especially in how it carries through on the keywords on the card and even has rather clear courts (a BIG plus for me) I miss all the additional information that come with a whole book devoted to the deck. I purchased the deck alone, there was no mention of a set being available. Anyone know if there is a specific book for this deck?

There's a 9x6" size book that comes with the set, you can see the image here: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1572810297/themarketbuzz-20/102-7149339-6976951?dev-t=D68HUNXKLHS4JY%26camp=2025%26link_code=xm2 It has an ISBN # of 1572810297 A review on just the book over on Tarot Passages is here: http://www.tarotpassages.com/mysticbk.htm However they list a different ISBN# for it at the bottom of the screen. It can be ordered separate for $14 over here: http://www.astroamerica.com/t-navy.html or off of Amazon, but you might get it cheaper on ebay.

The seperate book is a MUST for this deck. It is one of my favorites because the cards are so detailed and busy, you notice something new every time each card comes up. It is great for intuitive readings based on the "what did I notice first about the card?" approach. -- Kyrielle

Hi Thea Lynx We did a small study on some of the cards recently and there is alot of talk about the deck and the book in this thread: http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=19330&highlight=navigators I like the deck alot and found that the more I used it, the more the cards came to life. I like the book - I think worth getting, but it's also a great deck for using intuitively IMO. Some background knowledge on the colours of the spheres helps I guess. The book describes alot of the symbolism in the cards - which, let's face it are ..... odd! Good luck with the deck - I love it and its so nice to see others buying it.

Dear Hudson, Kyrielle and Moonbow Thank you soooooooo much for all of your imput! It is most helpful. I've made note of the ISBN and will (as usual) try my favorite local supplier first, then go on line for the book if I must - I am sooooo happy to know a book is available. This is one of those very special decks - there are almost no words to describe the feeling that comes as you work with it. The daily readings I have been getting (I pull three cards - Basis, Current, Trend, plus a teaching card every day) are incredible. I have a hard time pulling my eyes away from the cards I have just pulled. It took me a while to notice that the majors were listed in reverse of the usual order in the LWB, and since they are not numbered, it has been difficult to come up with the reasoning behind that - hopefully it will be a bit clearer when I get the book! But in the mean time, I am enjoying the deck. Thanks also for the thread info for the study that was done - I haven't had the chance to view it yet, but know it will enchance my understanding. Thanks again for your generous help Thea Lynx
