About the Author

Amber Wolfe is a master-level educator and psychotherapist in private practice. She follows an American Shamanic path, using the wisdoms found in the Celtic forms of Craft, Church, and myth that are her heritage. She also honors the sacred teachings of Native American medicine elders who have shared their knowledge of the nature of this land.

Amber Wolfe calls herself a Ban Drui, a term that has several meanings. Among them are Wise Woman, Druidess, White Oak Woman, and (as described by William Butler Yeats) a "Faerie Doctor." These titles represent her style as a writer, teacher, and therapist, whose work emphasizes the magick qualities of self-transformation and personal evolution.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great style, written with integrity, February 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Elemental Power: Celtic Faerie Craft & Druidic Magic (Llewellyn's Celtic Wisdom) (Paperback)

Ms. Wolfe nicely provides a sense of Celtic mythological and mystical history. Unlike others who pretend to "ancient" traditions, this author is very comfortable in explaining that she is a psychotherapist and "Ban Drui," but not an historian. Academic researchers will enjoy this book for fresh (and sometimes naive--in a nice way) viewpoints, plus a sense of the spiritual that is missing from some other texts. Pagans will find new understanding of the meanings behind Celtic symbols, deities, traditions, and rituals. This is a book to read for insight.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good discussion of the elements, January 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Elemental Power: Celtic Faerie Craft & Druidic Magic (Llewellyn's Celtic Wisdom) (Paperback)

I'm surprised that this book has drawn so much criticism. I assume it's from people who have never worked in a shamanistic tradition and are looking for the definitive guide to Celtic Magic (even though no unbroken tradition exists). It's a very personal book and reflects Ms. Wolf's work on the inner planes. If you're familiar with the tradition and looking to increase your knowledge I 've found this book both helpful and enjoyable. If your new to shamanism and magic then start with her wonderful book The Shadow of the Shaman which is more of a primer.

5.0 out of 5 stars DEEP MIND WORK... ABSOLUTELY RIGHT ON!!! A+++(3), June 6, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Elemental Power: Celtic Faerie Craft & Druidic Magic (Llewellyn's Celtic Wisdom) (Paperback)

This book is a piece of Art. It changes your awareness... it is a 'Very' clear mirror into the Subconscious. Readers not willing to do deep work on their own "Stuff" may not be able to deal with the sudden awareness of 'personal responsibilty' Amber Wolfe's images invoke. Read this book and free yourself.... or throw yourself into your own shadows. A "REAL" eye-opener. A+++(3)
