Rating: Summary: Very good reference Review: This book is very good for reference. The dictionary of faeries is very useful and accurate. However, I did not like how most "How to contact" said "Contact not advised." The spells in the book are very effective, and the guided meditation is a wonderful journey to the faery realm. The book is a little disorganized with bits and peices of information thrown around here and there. Overall though, this book was well written.
Rating: Summary: A Good Source for Knowledge of The Fae Review: This book provides listings for faerie folk around the world, including entries under each being on what sort of ritual work or help one might gain from working with them, as well as corresponding herbs, stones, numbers, etc. that might draw the being to you. For those interested in working with the fae or the rest of the Little Folk, this book provides guidance and sample rituals and spells to demonstrate how one can fully utilize a relationship with them that will benefit both. For those who are not practitioners of an earth religion, it also provides wonderful descriptions and historical background on the beings in the book for those searching for everyday knowledge of them. Also, Edain McCoy has once again included an outline of ritual and spell setup for the forgetful to aid in your attempts to work with them. I highly recommend this book.
Rating: Summary: Awesome book! Review: This book was excellent!!! Highly recommend for anyone interested in the magickal aspects of the faeries. The encyclopedia of faery folk in the back is a tremendous resource. Excellent book!!!
Rating: Summary: An informative book, with good ideas, and great history Review: This book was very well informative, and extremely well written. I found it to be useful on some levels, however, the lower points are attributed to the absolutes that are taught. I also thought that it went to far on some levels. It was an absolutely great history though with very down to earth writing. All in All I recommend it, and loved it even though it was a little 'fluffy bunny' about some issues.
Rating: Summary: This is an Enchanting book! Review: This is an excellent book. I have always believed in fairies and now I believe in them even more. I am looking forward to adding them to my rituals and exploring a whole new world. The dictionary in the back of the book was a must it was my favorite part.
Rating: Summary: Absolute dreck Review: This is just a dumbed-down, cutsied-up half-summary of material derived from other secondary sources like Katherine Briggs' _Encyclopedia of Fairies_. It succeeds neither as a folklore reference, nor as an occult book.Don't waste your time. Find an old copy of the Briggs book, instead.

Rating: Summary: The best book ever on faeries Review: This is one of the best neo-pagan books on the fae! It ahd a great dictionary of faeries, and gives ways to draw them to you and how to use them in spell and ritual. It gives guidlines on spells and sample spells to do. It also gives alot of information on faeries and what they are and what they are about. I reccomend this book to anyone that is looking to further their knowledge of wicca and magick.
Rating: Summary: Excellent!!! Review: This was my first book on witchcraft because I was interested in faeries, and it is wonderful! Very informative! Fascinating! Well-researched! Includes A TON OF INFORMATION! It truly is an incredible book for all who love faeries and those who are just interested in Wicca and faeries.
Rating: Summary: Lovely sight but confusing Review: When I saw this book it cought my attention immediately, the title couldn't suit me better and the art on the cover is magnificently gorgeous. However dissapointed afterwards at all the myth about the Fae! It's a mixture of a bit of truth and a lot of myth and superstition. The rituals are somewhat nice and it contains some interesting information such as the Faery Dictionary, not that I think anyone CAN put faeries into a dictionary lol. Overall it's a nice book to read if you want to learn about faery myth and superstition.
