From the Publisher

When we were young, the world was filled with wonder. The winds whispered in our ears. Shadows had life. The clouds told stories.

But today, we no longer see with a child's eyes, and many people scoff or laugh at those who do. Sure, we have technology and modern conveniences, but we have built boundaries around ourselves and our lives seem to have lost much of that wonder and joy.

Enchantment of the Faerie Realm by Ted Andrews will show you that the worlds of amazement you used to visit are still alive and awaiting you. Though the doorways to the enchanted realms may be obscure, this book will show you methods for seeking them out.

Every soul has a purpose, but we can lose sight of it due to our involvement with outer activities and responsibilities. Enchantment of the Faerie Realm reveals the good news! There are still noble adventures you can undertake. You can still visit trees that speak and find caverns that lead to other realms. This faery realm refreshes your creativity and your spirit and helps you to keep joy alive.

Enchantment of the Faerie Realm will help you rediscover your lost child. At the same time, you will find faeries and elves, gnomes and dragons, sylphs and mermaids, and more. It will help bring bliss into your life.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too organized, but not bad, July 26, 2001

This review is from: Enchantment of the Faerie Realm: Communicate with Nature Spirits & Elementals (Paperback)

_Enchantment of the Faerie Realm_ is not a bad book, really. It has its amazing moments and its less-than-amazing moments. I especially like the idea of faerie tales as meditation exercises; the legends and fantasies dreamed up over the centuries might well be our best key to the nature of the fae. The meditations are also good; I especially liked "Meeting the Flower Faeries" and "Tree Faeries." I only wish the list of flowers and trees had been longer, but the meditations can be used with any plant, so that's no big deal.

Unfortunately, much of the book is devoted to a hyper-organized approach to the fae. There is too much ceremonial magic and not enough whimsy or wild magic. Note that the high points I mentioned above are also the moments in which the book is given over mainly to wild magic. In my work with the fae, I've never gotten the idea that they're a strict bureaucracy. They aren't that organized, and trying to organize them just misses the point. The fae *aren't* like us. They're wilder and more unpredictable, and I bet there are a lot of fae giggling a bit at parts of this book.

I also don't like the emphasis on using the fae to work on your psychological issues. If you're going to get to know the fae, it's best to get to know them just for the joy of getting to know them. And, yes, that *will* make your life happier and more interesting, but that is just icing on the cake. Don't use the fae; befriend them.

1.0 out of 5 stars Faerie has it's own agenda., September 27, 2000

By 

"glamourbomb" (Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Enchantment of the Faerie Realm: Communicate with Nature Spirits & Elementals (Paperback)

The author of this book seems to have had no real experience with the subject he is writing about and has not only approached the faerie realm and faeries from a scientific and scholarly point of view, but he hasn't done his research well enough to succeed from that angle. He seems to have taken his viewpoint from theosophical works rather than from actual experience. The New Age philosophy which reduces faeries to elementals or diminished nature spirits is disrespectful. The suggestion that faeries are lesser inhabitants of an Angelic Kingdom who can be called upon or commanded by human ritual as helper spirits or gaurdian angels is dangerous and distracts from recognition of a genuine experience with Faerie. If you are looking for a guide to the otherworld realm or non-fiction material that is evocative of Faerie, I would suggest reading the works of R.J. Stewart as an antidote to this.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing :o( Contrived, December 22, 1999

This review is from: Enchantment of the Faerie Realm: Communicate with Nature Spirits & Elementals (Paperback)

Not up to par with Animal Speak. This "Faerie" book seems contrived & cranked up as propaganda to put the Fae of many cultures, as well as the Elementals of Nature under an artificial construct of male rule. It seems someone's ego got away with them here. It is not really about what the title suggests. Very misleading.If you believe the realms of the Fae & the powers & beauty of nature should be modeled after "man's kingdoms" & "societies", instead of the other way around, go for it. Otherwise you will be as disappointed as many, by a closer insight into the mindset of a modern male author, you hoped would do better. I'm very sorry to say I can not recommend this book. In fact IMHO it is a heartbreaking attempt to usurp the Fae, for misguided use.
