Summary: great book!
Review: i don't think this book is at all sexist. I believe that it iplies that women draw power from different sources than men and so should practice accodrdingly. It has nothing to do about men being better, or more intelligent, men and women just work differently. I feel that this book has opened my mind to a new direction in spirituality and i am grateful for havin read it.

Summary: gaelic?
Review: as for the first review concerning the charm of making by the very first reviewer, i would just like to clarify that the charm is not written in Gaelic, but is written in Welsh. Anyone with the least ammount of knowledge in linguistics could clearly attest to this. As for the contents of the book, I found it to be well written and researched. Try it before you knock it! And another thing, where did you ever come up with the translation of "Mary had a little lamb" when the translation clearly makes mention of God in it's context?

Summary: a lie
Review: there is a spell contained in theis book (the spell of making) which reads... ...ANAIL NATHROCK UTHVASS BETHUDD DOCHIEL DIENVIE the truth to the spell is that it translates to the gaelic version of mary had a little lamb. otherwise, a good learning tool.

Summary: ravenhawk teaches
Review: This book found it's way to my hands around a year ago. If you feel the pagan inside of you, and Wicca doesn't do it for you...this is one of the best places to start. If you already study Wicca, this will make it all the better for you. Read it, practice it... I'll see you on the other side...

Summary: A thoroughly wonderful book
Review: This is just a marvelous book... A very enjoyable read and also very fascinating if you are interested in the Arthurian legends. It is not, as some people suggest, fabrication, but very real. The story chapters are very engrossing and the rituals are very deep and meaningful. One of my favorites.

Summary: 21 Lessons of Merlyn
Review: This is an amazing book. Delving deeply into The Book of Pheryllt and the lost technique of these antique people and mixing with a wonderfully moving relationship between Merlyn and young Arthur. If you are a trendy title taking witch, forget this book- it has deep meaning and heart. But if you seek out your own truth...this just may very well be it...it is mine! Thank you Douglas Monroe!

Summary: To each his own
Review: Wow, it stuns me how intense opinions are on both sides of this book. I can only speak for myself and say that I found it to be personally meaningful, soulfully rendered, and in the best tradition of creative magical reconstruction. I did not find a "woman hating" attitude. On the contrary, I was intrigued by his contention that male and female energies can be enhanced in ways unique to each sex as well as through means common to both. I have explored rituals suggested in this book with a very strong degree of success. I feel that it is a book with a bold, if at times "bull in a china shop" attitude. It chafes at times, and I disagree with several of its strong opinions. But I still rate it most highly because so much rang through as genuine. The fictional use of the Arthur/Merlin relationship was at times strained, but also bridged some magical chasms in exciting ways. Take what you will - if it doesn't fit then don't wear it.

Summary: pure fantasy
Review: if you want an amusing read then waste your money on this book. if you are looking for some kind of historical representation of druidic practice then move on. the book that these teachings supposedly come from (the pheryllt, probably spelling it wrong, never could get welsh right) is a complete fabrication. it never existed. try studying historical and folk tale accounts of the celts and join up with one of the reputable celtic reconstructionalist groups (imbas and adf). STAY AWAY FROM THIS BOOK! if amazon had a rating less than one star i would've chosen that instead.

Summary: 21 Experiments for Growth
Review: I read this book back when it first hit the bookshelves and found it the most sophisticated book on magic and mysticism. No, many of the facts are not true to Arthur or history but what in modern Druidry really is? The complaints about pumkins in the old world are irrelevant to what is being presented. It was not a positive affirmation of women's spirituality to be sure but there are a million books to read for that. The precise chapters and the rites presented at the end of each allowed me to finally take the pagan concept of religion to a personal level over a mere scholarly-romantic one. There is no Druid Bible anywhere to be found and there are no Druid groups who can honestly claim that they are following the true historical path and can therefore attack this book so viciously. If only more authors could write with such inspiration

Summary: Can't I give it 0 stars? Puh-leese?
Review: Boy, was this an awful book. I chose to ignore the bad reviews, figuring those people were just grumps anyways, but man I should have listened. Why do so many people give this book a good review? After reading it, I can find no merit in the lies told in the text, and it is clear that the author is just out to make money.
