5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Wonderful!, January 7, 2008

This review is from: Fairy Magic: All about Fairies and How to Bring Their Magic Into Your Life (Paperback)

There is so much wonderful information packed into this little book! It briefly discusses some of the basic types of faeries (not in depth like the Witches Guide to Faery Folk) and it has a couple of great chapters about faery history. Most of the book is devoted to guided meditations and exercises for developing faery awareness, contacting and working with faeries and I think they are wonderful...so much more lighthearted and easy to connect with that some I've read in other books. The "Faery Care" section is excellent...wonderful ways to let your faery friends know they are welcome and appreciated! This book was obviously written from the heart and I'm so glad it's in my library!

1.0 out of 5 stars Far from scholarly., November 20, 2008

This review is from: Fairy Magic: All about Fairies and How to Bring Their Magic Into Your Life (Paperback)

Guiley, one of the few PHD's writing on these subjects is far more capable than this book suggests.

If I had not read the cover I would I would have thought this was written by an escapist 16 year old Highschool girl from Southern California.

Typical of other modern works on the subject, this book treads the well worn path of the pop-culture New-Age bandwagon. The author reduces the subject to Disney-esque triviality. No serious research or intellectual thought was expended in relation to the historical and cultural aspects of the subject.

Any historical information present was merely clipped from other equally unreliable sources or quoted from the few legitimate and famous sources already available in the public domain. The overall content is formulaic New-age fodder. Anyone familiar with the author's other work concerning "Angels" will recognize that the current work is merely a duplicate copy with key terms swapped out. The chapter on "Fairy Care" is most discouraging.

There remain few books on this subject worth their salt. With this work Guiley proves no match for Evans-Wentz.

This book deserves to have a little crescent moon on its binding to identify with others books of its caliber.
