Here is a lengthy and detailed book about the Birmageydo.
I recommend you all to read it, it's very interesting and informative. It really opened my eyes of how our ancestors lived and how they honoured our culture and especially those who are spared from the spear (ie. Birmageydo)
One thing I'd like to add, this book contains footnotes, short gabays and stories of incidents related to the codex we used to live by. Also might increase your vocabulary
