Summary: It was Lovely
Comment: This is an incredibly beautiful book! Even the appearence of the outside. It's such a charming size. The cover is gorgeous. There are many other pictures that mach up to the cover's beauty inside. On about every-other page or so are detailed faery paintings by professional artists. I recognized a few of the paintings from fantasy-type sites I've seen on the internet. And the pages themselves are glossy and lovely. It's very easy to read and understand. From the title, one might expect "Fairy Spells" to mean this is a book that teaches one how to make charms, mix herbs, or perhaps even stating "mystical" rhymes. What this book really is about is more... preparation for contacting the faeries. It's about heightening your senses, listening to nature... paying attention to the vibes you get when seeking the faeries. There are a few little "spells" in there. One I specifically remember is a "protection" spell, to use when you're out in the forest and you start to get bad feelings from the fairies. Or if you're lost and being "faery led," imagining certain images and saying certain things may help you overcome the sensations. If your a fan of the Fae, or really like fantasy/faery art... this is an incredibly perfect book for you. If you're a hardcore Wiccan and searching for something that contains many rituals which in turn will create abundant results... then you should probably continue browsing. Then again, a big part of magic, aside from charms and spells, is the spirit; how one feels about and sees the world around them. Little books like this can help that sort of thing.

Summary: Difficult
Comment: Well, what can I say? I absolutely loved this book, but Ican understand why people give it only 1 star; the language is a bit difficult, the information is full of fantasy and very dreamy but also very vague. This pictures on the other hand are beautiful, and I love the size and shape of the book, others might not, but I do because it's færie-sized and shaped.
This little book reminds me of something nostalgic. Old and a bit Shakespearian. The whole Stratford-Upon-Avon vision.
I would advice this book to those who are extremely good at English, and with English I mean UK English, because Claire uses alot of hard-to-understand words. I wouldn't recommand this book to those like (useful) information, because it's not that practical. It's more like theological information and something to keep in mind, but the færie spells all seem a bit strange to me. But once again, read it if you like pictures, but leave it if you like usuable information

Summary: Pricey and Boring
Comment: This book is very difficult to understand because of how the author word's her sentences. She should use simpler terms instead. She also writes it so boringly. This book isn't much of a help, although there are good references of the faery times and dates and the times of the archangels etc.
You would think that a book that is called 'Fairy Spells' would actually give you spells. This book doesn't really give you enough spells to actually be a spellbook. The spells are very complicated and need herbs and items that are hard to get your hands on.
[...]
The art on the other hand is very beautiful and colorful. I think the best part of this book is the art. Just the cover has a beautiful faery holding a wand. Look inside for more pretty fae pictures. Because of the beautiful pictures, I give this book 2 stars, or I would have given only 1.
