Every page gives deep, spiritual insights. So positive, but at the same time makes you look at the world around you with a different lenses: we are connected, all of us, with the nature, with the energy that composes the life in all its dimensions.
Truly love it, highly recommend for everyone who needs a breath of fresh air in literature.

I received this book as a present, and it completely changed my life. It is full of love, and knowledge, and insights about the life around us. I love how it explains the laws of nature, the relationships between people, the lives of kings and wisemen, elves and angels. I will definitely read this again, this page-turner. It is easy to read, I think I will give it to my sisters, to my friends. It's good to know that I can turn to these pages any time to heal my soul.

What a fascinating read! So insightful for the seekers after tips for spiritual progress in their lives. I guess, I could call it an invitation to a sacred quest. Enjoyed it so much!

Lately I have read the book Childhood with Elves book 1 by Olga Gomon. I do like fantasy and inspiration books so when I found this book I was thrilled to read.
The main idea of Childhood with Elves for me - you should improve yourself day by day. Without sacrifice you can’t reach the goal.
Wisdom, history and explanation how our world works are not all you can find in this book. I am looking forward for next series!

The author who traveled half of the globe has a lot to tell her readers. Fascinating plot twists, gripping stories, sophisticated philosophy and a wealth of knowledge behind it. A perfect book to reload your way of thinking. Helps to understand who we really are in this hectic world, where human feelings, relationships and scenarios repeat so often. It’s the first book in the series, and I‘m so much waiting for the next one to come.

I am about to start reading this book. Reviews caught my attention on the other website reader's favorite; where people left more elaborate reviews on the book. I will try to come back with my review after I finish this book.
I hope to find out how author refutes the widely accepted myth of awakening an spirituality. As a person who is looking to expand my extrasensory abilities I was looking for all the information available out there.

It's a great book that gives plenty of spiritual and historical insights, written in a very easy language. I have read it too quickly and then re-read just for the pleasure of reading. Full of bright and breathtaking stories, it brings the reader to ancient civilisations' secrets and to the invisible world. A must-have for spiritual searchers.

This is a fantastic book. You start think about eternal questions ... Who are we? And what is the mission of each of us? The book gives an understanding of the structure of the world. I recommend this book to everyone who seeks spiritual development.

3.5/5
Everything that is happening in this novel can be fiction.
This spiritually enlightening book by, Master Olga Gomon, tells the reader about her spiritual experiences, her magical childhood and her first teachers. Olga Gomon is an astrologer, Medium and Master of meditation. She says, this planet Earth encompasses, varied kinds of people. Every individual is aware of themselves, of their surroundings, of mother nature and of God's will, of the Laws of the Universe, at different levels. Those who are aware are called Sadhu or Saint, the enlightened beings. This book, helps in seeking answers to various questions, to learn to boost our energy, to discover unusual abilities and to understand the purpose of life. She is also an expert in Taoist Astrology, Ba- Zi. She also trains in breatharianism, third eye vision, yoga, meditation, Qigong, Tai Chi and Pranayama.
She says, there are no free gifts, miracles or magic in life. The right for a miracle, a mystical ability, good fortune must be earned. The key to magic is pain and hardship. It can be due to a past life, full of compassion for living beings and renunciation or strict severity in the current life. One needs to live up to the abilities and gifts of fate. This book guides us in all this and more. Read on.
The book begins with asking the question, who am I, taking the reader further into questions and explanations about the body, mind and ego. She talks about, Sankalpa, the magical tool to give energy and power to intentions. She explains all of this in an intriguing story format, which makes it even more interesting. The influence of Indian therapies and words is seen throughout the read. We are responsible for our thoughts, which are nothing but energy. She further explains the importance of morning meditation, female and male energies, ambitions, love for self, pain, tolerance, mindfulness. Karmic Lessons are difficult life situations, which are the consequences of mistakes made in past incarnations. It discusses every minute emotion, and aspects like cheating, meditation posture and emotions, giving their effects & side effects. Also she talks about important elements like earth, water, metal, wood and fire. She talks about her experiences with her clients or students giving various explanatory guidelines, which makes the read interesting and easily understandable.
After this insight, the reader is taken to the beginning, of her world where her first mystical experiences began. This world, the experiences, to be honest, may seem too enchanting, too magical, too fairytale like, too unrealistic to some readers. I feel, we as a reader always have two choices; either to believe what we read, believe in the truth, the honesty of the author else take it simply as a work of fantasy fiction and enjoy it. Also, we should learn from whatever you can extract through the book you read. Enjoyment, clubbed with learning, I feel, should be the ultimate aim of a reader.
It talks about angels and genies, a magical mirror, the river of youth, meeting elves, the white dragon, travels of the soul and the laws of life, among other things. It may sound unbelievable and fiction, but faith and belief is something that is for every individual to decide. The beautiful illustrations at regular intervals, add to the persona of this read. There's so much to learn and absorb from this beautiful book, the first part of this enchanting series.
The next book in the series “The Games of Light and Shadow” – “The Apprentice of the Immortal” will introduce you to the secrets of the Taoist mysteries of immortality, internal alchemy, the hidden history of China and the labyrinths of the Shaolin Monastery. You will not only plunge into the mysterious world, but will also be able to master the lost knowledge of immortality in the Gorge of Spirits, along with the characters.
This book talks to each reader in the language that he understands i.e. different people will interpret the book, differently. Some will learn to meditate by it while others will find answers to unanswered questions. An enlightening, insightful and a resourceful book for anyone looking for purpose of life. Read it to experience the magic, fully. Leaving you with these lines;
I would find myself, but only after I’d lost myself.
I would find a Homeland in loneliness, And the whole Planet would become it.
The Sky would be my Father; the body would be my Home.
I would breathe them in. And Time would be my Teacher, Acceptance would be my Law.
I would find my Game and call it Destiny.
I would acquire Magic, And it would be my inner Strength.
I would uncover myself and absorb all Knowledge.
And out of them I would mold my armor: Courage and Wisdom.
I would burn away and rise, and take my weapons with me – Will and Love. All forms of life would become my family, country and army.
And my master would be the Path.

Book Title: Childhood with Elves
Subtitle: (The Games of Light and Shadow Book 1)
Author: Olga Gomon
Genre: Fantasy or Self-help?
Part of a series?
Order in series:
Best read after earlier books in series?
Available: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
Overall score:
I scored this book 3/5
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Short Summary of the book:
This book was not what I expected it to be and at the end, I’m still left wondering. Is this a fantasy? Is this an attempt at a self-help book? The author talks about current work, a childhood filled with mythical and fantasy figures. Or were they real after all?
What I liked about the book:
The book was easy to read in places and story-like. But it was also confusing.
What I didn’t like about the book:
How it stated the origin of disease and cancer. I certainly hope the author is not asking us to use her methods instead of traditional medicine. It might be an adjuvant treatment but not instead of traditional medicine.
My favourite bits in the book:
The stories.
My least favourite bits in the book:
The certainty in statements regarding health.
Any further books in the series? Any more planned by this author?
The title suggests this is the first in the series. I am not aware of any subsequent books at this stage.
What books could this be compared to and why?
I have not read any other book similar to this one.
Recommendation:
In summary, I would recommend this book for the following readers:
Children No
Young Adult Perhaps
Adult Yes
If you like fairytales or self-help, this book may be the book for you.
Book Description by Author:
Different people live here on Earth. There are those of us whose life belong only for a half to the visible world.
Such people understand the language of animals and hear what the grass sings at dawn. They know the will of gods and live according to the laws of the Universe. They feel every living being on Earth as themselves, filled with love and tenderness to every one without exception. In the Christian tradition they are called saints. In Hindu tradition – sadhu. In Buddhism – the enlightened.
When and how do such people realize who they are? How do they find the Teachers who help to know their essence and to reveal their abilities? In the first book of the series Master Olga Gomon tells about her way, her magical childhood and her first teachers.

My journey to the world of Fantasy and Fiction genre started from the authors of books Ivan Yefremov , Ursula Le Guin, Michael Bulgakov, J.K. Rowling and etc.. I know that even after years I still will be reading these books because they left feelings of entry into the adventures of the heroes. The journey still continued with the book " Childhood with Elves". I am still reading this book because it is touching my heart. At first, it begins with Baal who tried to accomplish his task. The second, my attention was captured by elves Lila and El. Then, Anna and Serjio, with new heart wrenching love relationship. Meanwhile, I discovered the true beginning guidance for meditation , wellness, numerology. So, by one word, when you are interested in magical treats, history, fantastical adventures, healthy lifestyle, this book leads you to the true world featuring exclusive sharing of author with her practices, learning, and knowledge.

Замечательная книга, заставляет о многом задуматься и многое понять.
Глубину книги за одно прочтение невозможно охватить…
С нетерпением жду продолжения.
