If you have ever believed in a world beyond the everyday, this is the book to help you find it. A Complete Guide to Faeries and Magical Beings is a wonderful companion for those who wish to tour an enchanted world. Cassandra Eason begins with the myths, legends, and real evidence surrounding the origins and existence of fairies and then takes us on a journey throughout the world to introduce us to the many different varieties of these mysterious beings. From fairies to viking giants, selkies to gnomes, fey beings abound. In this spritely volume, Eason shares fascinating anecdotes of people who have actually seen them. And if you'd like to meet them yourself, Eason also provides simple techniques, exercises, and rituals to attract, find, and communicate with the little people. Hang silver bells by a window. Keep potted plants in your home. Or sit quietly between two oaks at dusk or dawn. Fairyland mirrors universal human issues: fortune versus misfortune, fate versus free will, perfection and imperfection, illusion and objective reality, different time scales, the existence of parallel dimensions, and the duality of human nature. Some people even believe that fairies are becoming more visible again, as they were in pre-industrial days, to remind us of the consequences of consumer society -- the danger of being seduced by our own versions of fairy gold. "If you want to be happy, be." -- Henry David Thoreau

Tuning in to the World of the Faery,
By
This review is from: A Complete Guide to Faeries & Magical Beings: Explore the Mystical Realm of the Little People (Paperback)
I loved this book, and it is actually one of the first "how to" books I've read in a long time where I sat and read it cover to cover in just a few days.
"A Complete Guide" covers the origins of faeries, who they are, evidence, literature and legend, and the different types of faery. Ms. Eason gives many exercises and rituals throughout the book that help the reader to more deeply connect to the world of the faery. And I personally appreciate that she focuses more on the fact that the faery experience will affect the reader more through their psyche and that it's okay if one doesn't actually "physically" see the faery folk. Their effects are still felt and still working through the consciousness. This is an excellent book for both the beginning and more advanced student, and I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in finding out more about the realm of the faery.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Not quite what I expected, but good.,
This review is from: A Complete Guide to Faeries & Magical Beings: Explore the Mystical Realm of the Little People (Paperback)
I think that this would be an excellent book for someone who already follows the faerie faith, and an ok book for someone who is just generally interested in the topic. I thought that this would be more of a general overview of faery folklore and such. I wasn't really expecting the other spiritual parts. Just be aware that this book is geared towards a certain belief system, and is not just a generic book of "lore".

4.0 out of 5 stars
A good book, lots of information,
This review is from: A Complete Guide to Faeries & Magical Beings: Explore the Mystical Realm of the Little People (Paperback)
I am a begginner in all Fairy information. I believe this was a great book, with lots of information to get started and continue reading.
the only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is because some parts are the book are difficult to understand, I believe you have to be much more advanced in fairy information, names, etc. to be able to fully understand what she is explaining, other than that, the book is really good. Thanks Cassandra!!!
