This review is from: Earth Light: The Ancient Path to Transformation, Rediscovering the Wisdom of Celtic and Faery Lore (Celtic Myth & Legend) (Paperback)

This is the second in a series of books by R. J. Stewart on Celtic & Faery Lore, The Underworld Initiation is the first in the series. It gives a basic outline and understanding. Earth Light starts putting those principles into action. The third book Power Within the Land is the companion book to Earth Light which the author states in the Introduction of Earth Light. He also states in The Underworld Initiation that it was an early work and written way before Earth Light and Power Within the Land.

Anyone who plans on working with the Fae, These 3 books should be at the top of your list and should be read in this order to get the most out of them. So remeber Volume one is The Underworld Initition, Volume two is Earth Light, Volume 3 is Power Within the Land. I am going by what the author has stated in his introductions in The Underworld Initiation and Earth Light.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Extremely Important Introduction to an Ancient Way, June 11, 2002

This review is from: Earth Light: The Ancient Path to Transformation, Rediscovering the Wisdom of Celtic and Faery Lore (Celtic Myth & Legend) (Paperback)

R.J. Stewart--without pomp and circumstance, without sequins and neo-pagan drag-shows--has laid out for the contemporary seeker an empowered articulation of a viable, profound, and transformational spiritual path that is as ancient--truly--as humanity. Drawn largely from Celtic, as well as pre-Celtic sources of visionary tradition, R.J. writes in a very down-to-earth manner about a stream of visionary tradition that a great many cultures have known and continue to know--a tradition that lies like a subterranean kingdom beneath what we take to be consensual reality. EARTH LIGHT is a masterful introduction to an ancient way of seeing that influenced the Druids, various Scottish seers, as well as a plethora of wisemen and wisewomen who defy an easy label. EARTH LIGHT is the first of three books I recommend reading together, the second being Power Within The Land, and the third one being The UnderWorld Initiation.

This review is from: Earth Light: The Ancient Path to Transformation, Rediscovering the Wisdom of Celtic and Faery Lore (Celtic Myth & Legend) (Paperback)

If you are seeking a prettied-up Bunnies&Light approach with Victorian gossimer-winged creatures, you'll be disappointed with this book; but if you are seeking really practical & usable information which you can apply within your own prafctice, this is one of the best books currently available on Faerie. The exercises are clean & complete yet precise enough to not bore anyone already acquainted with meditational practices. An excellent addition to any Pagan's collection on Celtic Craft.
