Review of Conversing with Various Entities
Posted: 04 Jun 2022, 12:29
[Following is a volunteer review of "Conversing with Various Entities" by Mary Ellen Wall.]
Mankind has always been curious of the unknown. Conversing with Various Entities: An Invitation to Open Your Mind to Wonder by Mary Ellen Wall is a perfect example of the same. Readers are introduced by the author to the ancient concept of dowsing ; involving mysterious techniques to source materials as diverse as water, ores, oil and gemstones in addition to gaining access to the supernatural entities while avoiding the demons that have the capacity to lead man astray.
One of the best aspect that I appreciated about this title was the manner in which the author introduced the concept of supernatural and associated techniques. In a world where people tend to back every concept or action with science, the chances of this book failing to create a mark in the readers was too much for this is a topic with conflicting view sets. As a scientist, the author introduced the concept subtly through her personal experience that shaped her belief on the concept of dowsing. She not only deals with her personal experience but also dwells into the history of dowsing and other techniques in addition to the tools used for the same. Rather than giving a bland insight of what is known, she inserts her personal comments and the means to develop our own personalized tools along with the right questions that can aid us while communicating with the supernatural world.
Another important point to mention here is the use of pictures at the right junctions also proved to be quite helpful as it creates a visual imagery in the minds of the readers , thereby making the content seem more relatable. Likewise the conversational style of narrative also makes it easy to relate with the experiences and the content dealt with in the book.
Despite being a book of immense value, I m forced to rate this title as 3 out of 4 stars due to the immense number of errors that seemed to have come up as a result of improper editing. This sort of dampened the overall reading experience a bit. Otherwise it is a great book to read at least once.
I would recommend this title to all those aged 18+ with an open mind and extreme curiosity in learning about the supernatural world. It is also wise to point out here that there are mentions of religious views which may not settle well with certain audiences so it is best to tread with caution before picking up this title.
