I have not yet used them for Divination, but have used them for other purposes. If you get a chance to attend a lecture by Raven and Stephanie, do it!!!! I can't speak highly enough of them.

I was really surprised by this book. It is, in many ways, a romance novel. That is its official genre..not a genre I have fondness for. HOWEVER, the mI was really surprised by this book. It is, in many ways, a romance novel. That is its official genre..not a genre I have fondness for. HOWEVER, the man in the novel is a faery...not a little winged thing, but the type of faery of the faery traditions. That part was really well researched and gave the novel a good plot and made it really interesting and compelling for me. Also, it helped me understand some issues in the faery tradition that are more powerfully portrayed in this medium than in more scholarly texts. I don't think the bits about Tir-na-nog are right...but I think some of the other is quite inspired....more

It is an interesting read and the literary style is engaging and very "Kentucky." My family was involved in the Baker/Howard feud and I can vouch that at least that part was quite well researched. ...more

This is an excellent treatise on the various concepts of love, mostly tracing from the Greek through Christian theology. It is an interesting and thoughtful piece with a special emphasis on the important role of philia - friendship - in the Good. It also contains an important discussion about the problems that arise from vocation replacing friendship as our primary form of self-identification. ...more
Hodson is one of the main clairvoyants from the Theosophical tradition.

His work on the devic kingdoms is really good and his insights are interesting. I especially find his comments on the Kingdom of Pan interesting as well as his reflections on what was happening during certain lectures. I need to compare what he says to the more traditional faerie traditions, though. I'm still trying to reconcile Theosophical teachings on this topic with the traditional, especially the Celtic, faerie traditions....more
