Summary: much over-hyped!!!
Review: I am researching the field of faery wicca and was assured that this book in particular and anything by RJ Stewart in general was basically the best source of information. It couldn't have been more wrong advice. The book is an empty promise. It suggests that there will be more info lster in the book and then refers you to his other works (some of which I've read and they are no better!) Don't waste your money!

Summary: The Real Scoop on Faerie
Review: This is a fine work on understanding and working with the faerie realm and underworld traditions. Earth Light is not entertainment and it hands nothing to the reader in a silver chalice. Instead, it is an interactive guide on paper, meant to be savored slowly and worked through at one's own individual pace. Stewart provides theories on the origins of ancient traditions as well as inspiration and exercises on how to work with them. This may not be as easy to read as some of the popular books about faerie magic, but that is because it's real work and it actually does work. That may be uncomfortable for some, challenging for most, and is exactly what I found valuable about this excellent work. I would highly recommend this book to those who are ready for a trip to faerie beyond fantasy and schlock.

Summary: Please read in the correct order.
Review: 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.

Summary: Earth Light - Scholarly Knowledge meets Inspiration
Review: While there are many sources available these days for celtic spirituality and relative magickal practices, this book and others by it's author have inspired me in new ways. RJ Stewart draws on actual oral tradition and the texts that have been derived, to point out spiritual doorways for us to find our way through. RJ Stewart's work here shows academic prowess as well as inspiration!
