Great introduction to working with fairies, however it is a bit hetero/cisnormative

I have to admit, I haven’t been particularly intrigued by any of the books I’ve come across about Fairy Witchcraft. That is, until now. It Is An excellent little book full of wisdom, experience and insight into faerie lore, Celtic faerie traditions and what you might do with any of that in your life. I've read through this a few times, but just recently re-read as I'm brushing up on my spiritual path, and I realized I've yet to write a review here! I Bought This For INR 150 From Google Play Books And It Is Absolutely Worth Its Price. I Loved Reading It A Lot.

Una propuesta atractiva, interesante e innovadora. Aunque no es un proyecto desarrollado completamente sino más bien los primeros pasos, el libro te da suficiente material para entender de dónde vienen las ideas que expone la autora junto con la libertad para adaptar esta prácticas a tu propia forma de trabajar. Me encantó la forma en que Morgan explicó las conecciones entre las Pléyades y los seres feéricos.

Again - interesting from an academic point, entirely UPG but labelled such by the author - but not relevant to my own path!

This book is a Pagan Portals, so it is a small volume. However, Morgan Daimler seems to do the impossible (yet again) and has chapter after chapter filled with amazingly researched, accessible, digestible information.
One of the reasons why Daimler is one of my favorite authors is because I know that the level of academic work that has gone into this is unparalleled, and yet I'm never bored, the writing is never too dry.
I find that this type of subject - working with the Fair Folk - is something that one shouldn't mince words on. Working with Them can be dangerous. We're not speaking of the Victorian idea of fairies, we're talking about beings that think we may taste good with ketchup.
I SO appreciate how easily accessible the information is, and yet I don't feel that anything has been "dumbed down," so to speak. After reading this, which is just a starter on getting into Fairy Witchcraft, you'll have a solid foundation (and a bit of work ahead of you) so that you can start on this path in a way that will make it least likely that you'll end up a snack for the Good Neighbors.
5/5 on this one!

While reading this book I have had to take into account a few things. One- this book was published in 2014- (written in 2013) and since then Morgan Daimler has written other books, has written on her blog extensively and has a Youtube channel as well where she goes into depth about fairy lore.
Two-" Pagan Portals" books from Moon books are very short by nature and therefore cannot offer very in depth viewpoints. While Daimler tries to pack in as much information as possible I still find the nature of the Pagan Portal series to be too short and often lacking somewhere.
Three- This is an introductory book for beginners rather than for those who may already have been practicing witchcraft for a good length of time or who have a decent grounding in fairy lore and may already be practicing some form of Faery faith.
Because of this I think the book is a decent introduction for those who are very new to the craft and it is a much better starting place than some other publications which make the Fairfolk out to be sweet, safe and cuddly folk. Daimler has a grounding in actual fairy lore which is often a lot more dark and nuanced than people today realise.
It is an affordable book especially if you are buying the kindle edition for those on a very tight budget, but because the book is so short I would expect that (I read it in a couple of hours).
I personally did not learn anything new from this text that I have not read elsewhere, especially as a practioner of folk traditional withcraft.
I am planning on reading Daimler's other books in the series which may go into more depth.
A great book for beginners but anyone more experienced can skip it.
