emmeyer's review against another edition
1.0
This book was not for me. I was expecting more focus on meditations and ways to open yourself up to alternative truths. The book seems to focus a good deal on trying to convince the reader that the author's experiences were real.

While I found this book okay and I learned a bit about fae, there was just something a bit off with this book as I felt the author had to justify herself too much.
eldritchteacozy's review against another edition

There is a serious dearth of advanced magical texts in the world of pagan/witchy books, especially when it comes to the topic of other worlds. I'm not sure if it's because people are trying to aim so broadly that they miss the mark, or because it requires a lot of confidence and the willingness to open onseself up to ridicule. A lot is fun fluff (which there's nothing wrong with, I might add!) So, I came to this with equal parts hope and trepidation.
This turned out to be exactly the kind of thing I'd been hoping to read for a long time. It takes the concept of other worlds seriously and resonates with my own personal gnosis and experiences w/r/t the subject. It's packed with interesting information from the author's own practices and personal experiences and it really touches on the vast array of unseen something or other that some of us experience in the world. I particularly liked the anecdote about her seeing our world from the POV of the Other and how she relates it to some more interesting, if fringe, theories some physicists have. Despite being about a subject that is often thought of as a bit out there and ungrounded, Moura is very down to earth and frank with the way she describes things, suggesting that the Other World is something parallel and overlapping our own.
Recommended for anyone who is interested in the subject of experiences with otherwordly beings, and who is at least open to the possibility that they not only exist, but that they can be contacted/interacted with by humans.
