The Resurrection of the Meadow Hardcover – June 21, 2010

Within minutes with this book I knew id seen nothing like it. It is immediately obvious to anyone knowledgeable in lore and mythology that Mr Artisson has done his research quite well. The spells are so vividly unique, I cant imagine the words come from anyone else's mouth. My only regret is that the book is small when I Know Artisson has plenty of other material to add as he has more than a books worth of work for free on the internet. Its about the size of a thin paperback novel. Plus some of the material in the book is online (though it is revised). And for $25. But if your going to spend the money, it wont be wasted here.

When I received The Resurrection of the Meadow by Robin Artisson my first thought was, "It's so small". But it is small the way a jewel is small. And it is many times more potent. I loved the way he wove Magic into Poetry into Art. And it is seamless. I loved his powerful simplicity, one knows it has been HONED and crafted for a very long time. The spells are beautiful, poignant even. It made my heart ache that I do not live way in the wilderness where I could have an undisturbed meadow of my own. Most of all he creeps into your soul and shows your soul that this is REAL. So even if I don't have a meadow in the wilderness, I have a yard, I have imagination and at night I have dreams. This is all you need to enter into this wondrous realm. The book is little like an acorn, and it grows within the same.

I really like this book but it gets a little off the beaten path in weird ways as in off subject & just a little bit preachy. I get that the author wants to get his POV across but he has a tendency to go on & on. If you can b get past thst then you will really like this book...

This is my humble opinion: I've read several of Artisson's books. I had a tough time getting through 'The Witching Way of the Hollow Hill' the first and second time I read it, however 'The Horn of Evenwood' was more concise and a pleasure to endure, and finally there is 'The Resurrection of the Meadow' and this I feel was masterfully crafted. Artisson has honed his writing ability to become more comprehensible, furthermore the artwork in 'The Resurrection of the Meadow' is enchanting. If you enjoyed any of Artisson's previous work, then I highly recommend this book.

It just came in the mail ! Beautiful book, lovely artwork, I can't wait to read it. I have 2 others by him and have just ordered this one and his new book because I need more, more, more !

This helps bring back the "old craft" from the insipid American take on Wicca. If you're looking for love, light, and unicorn farts, this isn't for you.

The Horn of Evenwood is much better!

What a beautiful book. Very poetic and well written.

A lovely little grimoire of traditional witchcraft that respects both the new and old as well as engrained into a spiritual ecology mindset.
