[Tod Jones · Rating 5 out of 5]

This little book is very different to the other books I have read by Mr Richardson, such as Earth God Rising, and The Inner Guide to Egypt. More conversational, less formal in structure, with all Richardson's accustomed self-deprecating humor, Elphame reads like a chat with an old friend. I had hoped, when I put this book on my Christmas list, that it would detail exercises or techniques for peering into Elphame: what the book does deliver, slowly and cumulatively, is different way of looking at the things we can already see; a sort of playful parallel vision which can encompass two worlds at once. Recommended.

I've begun reading "Elphame A Journey to Elvin Light by Alan Richardson, and trying to keep myself from laughing out loud and disturbing the rest of the household who already know I'm insane.
But they would not understand why it's amusing that someone named Violet might take offense at being told she should begin something called 'The Inner Light '- or why the Chariot Trump might be an apt descriptor for traveling between Worlds, despite having spent most, if not all, of their lives in a Pagan household.

That's just in the first dozen pages.

Then again, they haven't read a lot of the books that I have over the past 60 years, either. 😉
