So for those who use the FO frequently do you rely on the companion book? Or did you rely on it heavily until the cards were very familiar to you?
For those who don't, how do you go about interpreting the cards?

With the FO I don't feel like I can give myself a quick reading when I have to reference the book (Which the entries are delightful to read, but still a little long) and then interpret how it fits into the reading and my life. I wonder if it's possible to do quick readings with them
When Feelion responded to my post in another FO related thread, I was reminded that the companion book is there for a reason and was curious how others go about reading frequently with this deck.
