An excellent read back in the day when I got my hands on it. If you have a good imagination, Elemental Power will take you along for an engrossing ride like a good fiction, the difference being you won't have to leave the narrative behind once you close the book....you get to lift it off the pages and bring it to life in your own world. When I read it, it was a library book, and I regretted having to take it back. I hope to actually own a copy of it one day, even though I'm not as fantasy-oriented as I was back then.

Yeah, this is... not for me. It's basically a series of guided imaginative exercises for pagans to connect with Celtic mythology, a nice idea I guess. I mean, I'm pretty solidly atheist but I'm predisposed to give some credit to spiritual systems that prioritise environmentalism and imagination, so I thought I'd give it a read in my ongoing quest to sample a wider variety of books. It just left me cold. A lot of it, I'm sorry to say, reads like a bad fantasy novel, and the thinking seems woolly and verges in places on just plain sloppy. For example: "Of approximately 374 Celtic god names, 305 occur only once. Of the nearly forty remaining god names, just four or five occur more than once..." (17). I did not find this a promising beginning. Though, as I said, this is not the type of book for which I hold any natural sympathy. Other people may find it more appealing.

This book wasn't what I thought it was. If you're looking for a book about the elementals: gnomes, sylphs, salamanders, undines, akasha--this is not the book for you. My hope was to go deeper with my understanding of the elementals and how to better honor them and work with them in my craft. This book focuses more on elementals as seen through a Celtic lens, with no mention of the above. Some parts of the book were even a little silly, such as the author's meeting with Merlin... yes, THAT Merlin. The only reason I gave it three stars and not one is because I do feel as though I learned a few things from reading it. A good copyeditor could have reined in some of the flowery writing, however. There were many times when I found myself daydreaming while reading. I'd recommend it if you want a Celtic perspective or your practice is more of a Celtic tradition.

I'd always been a hugely elementally focused sort of pagan, and this book was like a little journey. Though it focuses on the faerie craft and druidic magic, I found the elemental theme throughout refreshing and interesting, and I came out of the text with a lot of enjoyment - but not a whole lot of practical use. There's something to be said for a meditative read, however, and I'll say it here: I liked it.

Purchased on choir tour in my junior year, in a little seaside town in California. The bookshop was called the Crow's Nest. I bought a journal there too, with a picture on the front of a thunder-cloud raining into a teacup.

Very informative book about the elments around us and how to use them.

[Ruby Hollyberry · Rating 1 out of 5]

This is completely crap. Much of it is cribbed from other books, and the rest is made up for fun. Even the stolen material is presented in fake ways, blended with the nonsense. No need to read.

Nice to have for reference.
