I love my Good Faeries/Bad Faeries book. I find it gives me a lot more background into the faeries than is giving in the deck. It has a good number of the faeries in the deck, but also introduces you to a good many others.
No, of course you don't need to make use of whatever the book suggests. The book with the deck starts out by warning you about paying too much attention to books. The deck just seems to be my one that is designed to be most intuitive.
For myself, I still take that advice though, see the faery heads they are standing on as a powerful emotion behind who they are or an outcome, but of course that still leaves me to decipher what that emotion is or outcome will be, and that part is still very intuitive. But there is, of course, no reason to see it that way if it doesn't call to you. You do have to follow your instincts with this deck.
By the way, does anyone have the CD that Brian Froud created called "Faeries"? I find the music so beautiful. I often have in on when I read with this deck. And the video section of it and the interview with Brian is cool too.
