Insight on Orion Foxwood
« on: June 08, 2015, 06:23:38 pm »
I saw an interview of Orion Foxwood on youtube and am wondering if he a good author. I haven't seen many reviews of his books, seen his books in book recommendation videos, or bookcase tours.

That rather depends on what you're looking for.

Foxwood's stuff is a very specific thing, dealing with a very specific model of the universe (realms of being and the nature of the self/souls) and a very specific set of entities (partially folkloric and partially spirit-taught fairy folk).  If that is the stuff someone is dealing with, then he is totally the go-to guy for that stuff.  If that is not the stuff someone is dealing with, then he's not going to be any bloody use.

Thank you for replying. I love folklore and was wondering if what he wrote was real folklore or something he cobbled together. I found a blog that reviewed one of his books on Fairy Seership after I started the thread.
