I have always appreciated John Matthews' work to begin with but this book, a seemling honest account of his experiences with the Sidhe, kept me glued to the book until I completed it. So much of what was discussed was along the lines of what I truly believe to be true. It is an outline of the steps Humans need to consider in order for our world to change in a positive way. Finally, the style in which John writes is warm and engaging. This book was no exception to his rule, and it is one that requires rereading once you have received it and read it once.
If you are interested Irish myth, history or any subjects that go beyond the mundane. This is a book for you.
The Sidhe: Wisdom from the Celtic OtherworldAugust 14, 2007 5 out of 7 found this review helpful
I thoroughly enjoyed this book as did my husband and friends. There appears to be much hidden wisdom in this story on many levels. When you feel comfortable to travel within, the symbol and message speak deeply. I experienced an opening myself with many significant dreams. I recommend this book and feel it does remind one to reconnect with the Otherworld which is also our world.
Brilliant - not to be taken lightlyJune 12, 2007 12 out of 13 found this review helpful
This book is not at all to be taken lightly, nor is it for everyone as much as I would love for it to be. Whether you accept Mr. Matthews's experience as true or no - there is a fair amount of depth in the work given and done in this book. There are guided meditations and though it is a slim edition and a relatively quick read, much of the work in this book needs to be taken in doses - read in bursts. Take it in, focus/mediate/whatever you feel you can do to take the information in and put it into action. My only complaint - and the reason for the 4 stars....I'd LOVE for it to have been LONGER...... Also, a note: This doesn't strike me as having been the work of John Matthews as Medium - rather as a sort of transcription of a discussion of sorts - whether astral or physical or.....I would simply love to know more.

I was underwhelmed. It may be that Matthews tuned into a sidhe, but his personal writing lacked gravitas for me, and what the sidhe had to say was way too general. I must have expected some fire, incisive thinking. At the very least a rip-roaring good yarn.
Another excellent bookMarch 28, 2007 8 out of 10 found this review helpful
The Matthews continue to write phenomenal works for those on a spiritual journey. This book resonates true with my own experiences.
