D.J. Conway (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 1, 2005

Known as the little people, the ferrishyn, the wee folk, and the good neighbors, faeries have enchanted humans for centuries. But faeries are much more than playful sprites who frolic in gardens and dance on flowers by the morning light. There are helper faeries, trickster faeries, and powerful faeries who enhance magick and play a mighty role in the spirit world. In THE ANCIENT ART OF FAERY MAGICK, best-selling author and magick authority D.J. Conway explores the history of the faery folk, discusses faery laws and lives, and reveals the ancient secret faery oracle. She shares spells for invoking faeries for aid in health, love, peace, prosperity, and protection, and she even describes how to build faery houses and gardens to invite these wonderful creatures into your home. A comprehensive tome on a bewitching subject, THE ANCIENT ART OF FAERY MAGICK will initiate you into a life filled with faery sparkle and pixie dust.

This review is from: The Ancient Art of Faery Magick (Paperback)

I was pleasantly surprised after purchasing this book by D.J. Conway, who seems to have gotten a bad reputation as a "fluffy" and "inaccurate" author on the market. Ever since childhood, I was always interested in fairies (the Fae) and the legends and lore surrounding them, but I didn't know which book to get to help quench my thirst for that knowledge. I will admit that I originally looked at this book for its price, which rivaled most of the other books on the Fae out on the market, and I got my money's worth for sure.

With different stories about the Fae and ways to contact them, this is a great book for anyone who is just curious to know more about faeries.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not a bad background reference book on the fey, July 23, 2009

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Ancient Art of Faery Magick (Paperback)

I have not given this book a 5 because that would mean it could be among the first books read about the faery and the faery path. But I would not suggest it as that. It is a good book to add within a study of the above, having read some more validated and non slanted wiccan books first.

Found some major errors but all in all, this book will be helpful to perhaps to fill in spaces in the path. you just need to make sure that any of the historical facts presented that you check up on for accuracy.

But as a writer she is easy to read and the reading does go fast. It flows. so that is why I gave it a 3 because IMO a 3 star means average not bad, not good but okay.

Just another fantasy/nonsense Conway book. Stick with the authors who really *know* about Faery - such as RJ Stewart or Orion Foxwood.
