Phoenix LeFae

I enjoyed this book. It starts out with an introduction to the pentacle and then moves on to the points (all of which are broken down into a specific focus such as creativity or desire) and then goes on to go beyond the basics of finding beauty. I loved that at the end of each section there were questions asked that needed to be answered after reflection. This might seem simple but as I worked on the exercises it was more profound than one might think. These exercises and questions were building blocks for the rest of the exercises. This whole thing will be a work in progress and I need to remind myself that it will not happen overnight. I loved the idea of taking it out into the world toward the end. I think this could help everyone exceptionally as little pieces of beauty are scattered around.

My biggest complaint was trying to visualize the tarot part of this. I am such a visual person so trying to see it was a struggle for me. However, this is my personal issue. Still a very good book. I look forward to implementing some of these things through the course of my day to day life.… (meer)

I am more than pleasantly surprised by this book. The blurb of this book totally sucked me in. For as long as I have remembered I have been intrigued my that mystical other dimension, for lack of a better term. I can remember being a child and just feeling like there was something else out there. This book finally proved that I am not alone in those feelings.

This author was very insightful into how to find that connection. It explains everything from grounding oneself, how to perform rituals, and even step by step exercises. I really like how the book was broken up in how to work with all the deities, unseen, guides, and fae.

The only gripe that I really had with the book is that the formatting was messed up in parts. There were times that some of the fonts that were used showed up as boxes with question marks, or that words left out certain consonants and vowels so I had to read a sentence a few times in order to figure out what the author was actually saying. I even tried to read this on my actual kindle instead of my iPad via the Kindle app to see if that was the problem. Nothing changed the issue and because it did get distracting by the very end it was not a five-star read.… (meer)
