Why would someone with no Druidic training whatsoever even bother writing a book on the subject? Whatever the author's credentials may be, none of them have to do with Druidry at all. That is obvious in this book which is purely fabricated and must have come out of the imagination of one who practices Celtic flavoured Wicca and magick.

Sorry to dissapoint everyone, but celtic wicca, or made up systems that could fall into the catagory of celtic wicca has nothing to do with druidry.

It isn't that the material provided in the book won't work. They will, of course, just like any ritual or spell written up by any individual will... But it is misrepresented as Druidry. It is not. There are better books out there for that.

Most of the information the author offers in this book on druidry in made up. I have studied druidry for awhile now and thought this book was one of the worst i have come across. The book doesn't even make a very good drink coaster, so do NOT read this book.

Run, don't walk away from this book. It's a hodge podge of modern Celtic Wicca, a sprinkle of Faery Wicca and a dash of ornamental magic with some dragon silliness thrown in. There is nothing Druidic about it. While it may contain potent exercises for self actualization, it's disgusting how she steals the word of Druid. She should have stuck to the subtitle - Celtic Faery Craft and Elemental Magic. There is a ridiculous romanticized history essay and while preaching about being open to wisdom, she is yet remarkably derogatory to modern druidry. It's awash in New Age and psychology psychobabble.

There is NO need to run from this book, as one previous reviewer stated. The fact is, there are NO true Druid schools anywhere in the world. All Druid schools make stuff up. We do NOT know what the original Druids actually taught. I've taken courses from the larger Druids schools, and they were peppered with all kinds of New Age ideas and even Eastern Buddhist and Daoist teachings.

Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with making things up. If someone has the ability to see into nature, including the human nature, and comprehend what others miss, then, indeed, I want to read their thoughts and insights. There is no doubt, that Amber's books reveal her keen insights into human nature and they are packaged in no less of a Druid container than any of the Druid schools in the world. Thus, in my opinion, this is a great Druid book.

This was the first book I bought about Druidry. I read through it, but realized long before I finished it that the writer has no idea what Druidry or Druidism is all about. The writer should be ashamed of herself. Get yourself a Philip Carr-Gomm book.

This book is very misleading.. I bought it on a whim hoping that it would indeed help expand my knowledge of Fairy Craft and Elemental power.. instead what I got was a book that is very drawn out and really does not place much focus on fairy craft... IF you are looking at this for either fairy craft, druidry, or elemental magick.. navigate to another book now.. this one is just not worth it.. Specially seeing as there are far more better works on the topic..

DRUID POWER and ELEMENTAL MAGIC are the same book. Shame on you for trying to cheat people. This discredits your personal ethics and makes you look like awful. How do you except people to believe what you write when you pull tricks like this? I just bought both books in good faith thinking one would add illumination to the other. Sick....sick....sick.

This book is good for people wanting to develop their imagination using creative visualization. It's like watching t.v. with words. It's also loaded with interesting Celtic Druid information. I liked the book a lot.
