I really enjoyed this book. I would like to read more from this author and would definitely recommend it. ~ Sandra Salas (Reviewer), Netgalley

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars. .........the book provides not only lessons in how important it is to honour nature and the beings that share it with us, but also delivers a message of hope for the future, that all is not lost and the fayerie folk and their allies are working to bring us humans back to a place of closeness to nature and harmony with each other. To know we have these invisible beings helping us is comfort indeed. ~ Laura Jones (Reviewer) , NetGalley

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars. I do enjoy the Pagan Portals series from Moon Books, because they’re lovely quick reads which provide generic overviews of Pagan and Pagan-adjacent subjects. This new addition to the series, Ancient Fayerie, covers working with faerie, elements, and the land itself......I particularly liked the emphasis on animism and connecting with the land in this book. The importance of building up a good relationship with the land, the trees, and the spirits thereof is included, as is the need for you to be in right relationship with each other. If you work with crystals, then the crystal people and rock spirits are included here, also......Overall, this is a great and empowering introduction for anyone interested in land spirits and the world of faerie. Recommended. ~ Heather K Veitch (Reviewer) , NetGalley

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars. Pagan Portals is an interesting look at the natural world through it's connection to fayerie. I found it to be a very calming read full of information and fascinating stories. ~ Michelle Dunbar (Reviewer) , NetGalley

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars. I found this book intriguing. It was a fast read as a result. I would highly recommend this title to anyone interested in the topic. ~ Ashley Huffman (Educator), NetGalley

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars. This little book overflows with magic. I was absolutely transfixed with the guided meditations and suggestions for opening ourselves up to the Fayerie realm that I found myself wishing I had a recording of the author, Melanie Godfrey, speaking them to me. I was also particularly struck by her Fayerie and Sacred Site Codes of Ethics. It was the perfect reminder to walk gently in places that are not our own. The authors sharing of her own personal visions of Fayerie made me feel like I was there and seeing them through her eyes. Again, an audio rendition would be not only welcome but magical for readers and listeners. Thank you Melanie Godfrey, Pagan Portals, and NetGalley for sharing this gorgeous, magical, and inspiring book with me! ~ Kate Peragine (Reviewer), NetGalley

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars. This book is a first IMO. It really gives ways to connect with the Fay and also important ideas on existence, The story of the Fayerie is an old one and very earth oriented. Naturally earth reverence and taking care of her is important but now when you read this book you will know why. There are many experiences of the author in the book and they are very interesting and fun to read. I really enjoyed this book and look with more respect to the other people that exist below our perception. ~ Patrick Carmen (Reviewer), NetGalley

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars. This is not the type of book I usually read despite having a fascination with the Fae. This book is well written and separated into two parts. The first part focuses on how to connect with nature and the world around you while the second part focuses on the authors own experiences with Fayerie. I am typically a very logical person, I tend to not believe things unless I can have physical proof but this book is a delight to read. Since I was younger I have always had some belief in magic or something wider and even if I only have a deeper connection to nature through this book it is worth it. I think this book is worth the read no matter how skeptical you are even to provide a different point of view or to support your own. ~ Ellie Donaldson (Reviewer), NetGalley

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars. “Faërie contains many things besides elves and fays, and besides dwarfs, witches, trolls, giants, or dragons; it holds the seas, the sun, the moon, the sky; and the earth, and all things that are in it: tree and bird, water and stone, wine and bread, and ourselves, mortal men, when we are enchanted.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien, Tolkien On Fairy-stories. I really appreciate these Pagan Portals, I feel like they are packed with goodness. As a pagan, a witch and an animist, I see the fairie realm, the otherworld, as a very real thing. Godfrey talks about that in this book, this world that for many is lost, but to some is still preserved. Godfrey approaches this matter in a very comprehensive way through acts of connection and the pursuit of peace. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in this subject, you might really enjoy it! ~ Em H (Reviewer), NetGalley

Melanie Godfrey shares some of her intimate encounters with Faery and the Elemental Kingdoms. Firstly, she does this through story - each tale born of her experiences with sacred landscape. She goes on to offer valuable techniques, meditations and ceremony to aid the reader in deepening their own relationship with nature beings and the places they inhabit. Melanie's work is heart-felt and deeply personal, encouraging the reader to build their own tales and take their own journey into the enchanted realm of the Otherworld. ~ Eimear Burke, Chosen Chief of the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids

In this book Melanie will lead you into the world of Fayerie that is all around us all the time, but that we so often don't allow ourselves to see and communicate with! It is so lovely to be reminded in such a fresh bright way of the beauty and magic of this world! ~ Wendy Andrew, Author of Luna Moon Hare: A Magical Journey with the Goddess

Ancient Fayerie encourages us to engage more deeply with the beautiful, mysterious, and secret world in which we have come to live. Melanie describes how, through our dreams and visions, we can experience the many races of spirits and energies who inhabit the Otherworld’s that run parallel but are intricately entwined with our own. She delightfully and authoritatively tells how we can interact with these spirits by delving into our own psyche, and so the psyche of our world. Through her own experience and processes, she shares how we can expand our own understanding of the multidimensional world in which we have evolved, by interaction with the spirit folk who also share the planet earth. They are the oldest and the original nature spirits living amongst the most ancient and precious fabric of our world. Melanie’s respect for the knowledge she has been shown – and has now passed on – from whom she describes as the Guardians of our world, is tangible and heart-warming. There has never been a more important time to engage with the wisdom to be found in the complex nature of our world. Melanie’s passion for this cause, and her contribution to our understanding of how this can be achieved, is considerable and is to be relished in the turn of every page of her wonderful book. ~ Peter Royston Smith, Author of The Dragon’s Edge

Melanie's soul feels so pure and ancient and wise to me, and so much is channelled through the space of her words that is profoundly healing and aligning with the very heart of reality. Ancient Fayerie brought me home to my soul over and over again with deep breaths, and to curl up with it was to travel to enchanted and wild places with the faerie, Elven, trolls and dragons, to be transported into the very heart of our exquisite and sacred reality upon earth. It is like finding an otherworldly moonstone, shimmering with far colours and emitting a mysterious song of wisdom and cosmic vision. And remembering that this is the song of who I truly am. ~ Elen Tompkins, Author of Silver Wheel: The Lost Teachings of the Deerskin Book
