Hi Does anyone have the book that came in this set? If you no longer require the book I am happy to buy it from you. I need to know the stories behind some of the cards as I am not familier with the myths this deck shows. There are a few cards that have stumped me, as I am used to RW symbology. they are: DEATH: what is the relevance of the half skeltal face? he points at the empty eye and holds out a tree in his hand. 6 and 7 WANDS: The 7 seems more like the RW 6 ?? So how is the 6 victory? 9 WANDS: How is this image like the RW? It shows two boys with 3 fairies?? 7 SWORDS: This is the stealing card. Are they stealing the baby?? And replacing it with a pixie baby?? Wierd one that. 4 PENTACLES: Why does the cloaked man have a deers leg and foot?? If you have the book and don't need it anymore, please sell it to me !! if not, can anyone shed some light on these cards for me? Fingers crossed someone can help me hugs babyd

I don't have the book, but a good book on Norse mythology should be helpful to you. There's a great one by an English guy...Kevin somebody I think. :)
