In which I finally answer the question... what do I think about this deck? SPOILER ALERT...it's all good!

FYI, I'll be putting this video along with all the others on this deck in a designated playlist for ease of navigation.

A book I don't own yet but want REAL bad - "Fiery Shapes: Celestial Portents and Astrology in Ireland and Wales, 700-1700" by Mark Williams... (The prices I've seen on it suggest it out of print?)

Mark Williams' case study on Anglo-Irish interpretations of Aengus can be found in his book "Irelands Immortals: A History of the Gods of Irish Myth" (2016), pp. 346-360. ...the same book contains a discussion of Swans in the Étaín and Midir story, pp. 86-89.

A resource on robins as death omens - "Ireland's Birds: Myths, Legends and Folklore" by Niall Mac Coitirn (2017), p. 20.
