Mark Ryan & John Matthews, creators of the Wildwood Tarot, make a one-off appearance at Watkins Books
http://www.watkinsbooks.com/catalog/product/view/id/10105/s/the-wildwood-taro...
For many people today, woodlands are the last vestiges of an ancient world in which we had our beginnings. Such places are full of archetypal beings, from the more familiar Robin Hood to the shadowy Green Man. To walk in the wildwood is to take a journey back to the time where deep ancestral wisdom still resides, and where our partnership with these characters and creatures is as natural as breathing.
Pack contains 78 superb Wildwood cards and a 160-page illustrated guidebook.
"Beer." Well, of course. He's English. It's the human equivalent of how to herd cats. With cats, what you need is a can opener and a can of tuna. With an Englishman, it's all about the beer. :D hahaha

The only thing I'd mention, just in passing, is that the eightfold Wheel of the Year combines the Celtic holy tides with the Germanic (or Saxon) holy tides. As I'm sure you already know, Mark, the words "Samhain - Imbolc - Beltane - Lughansadh" are Gaelic and the words "Yule - Lenting (spring) - Summer - Harvest" are Germanic in origin. Says a lot, that.

Oh, and Mark, if you're out there...I've had a godawful crush on you since I first saw you in Robin of Sherwood as Nasir. Ah, those eyes, those beautiful eyes....
OK I'm done gushing now. :)
