You have hit the nail on the head there, Bar. I think that that is a great way of looking at things, whatever deck you are using - oracle or tarot. I do like to read up about the symbolism and history of the decks I use (a lot of them are ancient or historical - it is just an interest thing, really) but when you have pictures such as this, I think that often, spending time with them is all you need. I think I am right in remembering that the book that goes with the FO suggests that kind of approach.
Thanks for your wise words ... I will keep them in mind when I work and study with the decks I am using at the present time.
