Magickal, Mystical Creatures: Invite Their Powers into Your Life
by: D.J. Conway 

ISBN 1-56718-149-X
Price $14.95

Conway has previously demonstrated not only her prolific writing skills with her previous endeavors, but also her extensive knowledge of Northern European tradition and mythology.

This book is no different and, complete with wonderful illustrations, complete descriptions and mythologies, it provides the perfect reference tool for all creatures of a magical nature.  Conway's succinct and engaging writing style pulls the reader into a world of fantasy and intrigue as she discusses each of the many beasts of magical lore, both known and obscure.  For each entry, there is an analysis of psychological and magical attributes that is particularly helpful and interesting.

I fully recommend that magical practitioners NOT work with any mystical creature without first checking out what Conway has to say about it and using this book as part of a comprehensive study of its nature and tendencies.
