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 ;-) ) "'Progress in ethics is the only cure for progress | marlena@netcom.com in science.'" -- Freeman Dyson quoting Haldane | Blessed Be!
