5.0 out of 5 stars A Complete Guide to Faeries & Magical Beings 7 Oct 2007
By Tami Brady TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
The mythology of faeries is extremely rich. So many cultures have stories and legends about faeries, little people, and other such mystical creatures. Moreover, there are probably as many differing descriptions of these beings as there are stories. Some are beautiful and genial. Others are ugly, deceptive, or downright dangerous.

A Complete Guide to Faeries & Magical Beings is a good overview of the subject. The author not only includes the information contained in a myriad of mythological stories but also touches on contemporary beliefs and recorded incidents in modern times. She even includes exercises that bring one closer to various natural forms often associated with the different types of faeries so that the reader may increase the likelihood of having his or her own experiences. A section called the "A-Z of World Fairies" is included at the back of the book for easy reference.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tuning in to the World of the Faery 27 May 2005
By Deanna Joseph - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I loved this book, and it is actually one of the first "how to" books I've read in a long time where I sat and read it cover to cover in just a few days.

"A Complete Guide" covers the origins of faeries, who they are, evidence, literature and legend, and the different types of faery. Ms. Eason gives many exercises and rituals throughout the book that help the reader to more deeply connect to the world of the faery. And I personally appreciate that she focuses more on the fact that the faery experience will affect the reader more through their psyche and that it's okay if one doesn't actually "physically" see the faery folk. Their effects are still felt and still working through the consciousness.

This is an excellent book for both the beginning and more advanced student, and I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in finding out more about the realm of the faery.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not quite what I expected, but good. 16 Jan 2008
By Catherine - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I think that this would be an excellent book for someone who already follows the faerie faith, and an ok book for someone who is just generally interested in the topic. I thought that this would be more of a general overview of faery folklore and such. I wasn't really expecting the other spiritual parts. Just be aware that this book is geared towards a certain belief system, and is not just a generic book of "lore".

4.0 out of 5 stars A good book, lots of information 27 Jun 2006
By Claudia E. Henderson Marin - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I am a begginner in all Fairy information. I believe this was a great book, with lots of information to get started and continue reading.

the only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is because some parts are the book are difficult to understand, I believe you have to be much more advanced in fairy information, names, etc. to be able to fully understand what she is explaining, other than that, the book is really good.

Thanks Cassandra!!!
