Like a word stuck on the tip of your tongue that you can't quite remember, fairy tales aggravate us with deeper meanings we're almost certain we know, but can’t quite recall. For just enough of the old fairy faiths survive within them to tantalize us with their forgotten mysteries; teasing us with a hidden past filled with dark guardians to the underworld, bright and beautiful fairies, and long winters nights people feared would never end. There is still a mysterious heart to fairy tales, giving us a peek into a primal world, beckoning us to recall old traditions. This book will seek to explore these old traditions, to answer questions about the hidden origins of fairy tales. “From Celtic Fairies to Romanian Vampires,” this book will take you on a journey to understand fairy tales which are likely far stranger and more beautiful than you ever imagined.

The authorities told folk what they ought to believe, but what did they really believe? Throughout Scottish history, people have believed in fairies. They were a part of everyday life, as real as the sunrise, and as incontrovertible as the existence of God. While fairy belief was only a fragment of a much larger complex, the implications of studying this belief tradition are potentially vast, revealing some understanding of the worldview of the people of past centuries. This book, the first modern study of the subject, examines the history and nature of fairy belief, the major themes and motifs, the demonising attack upon the tradition, and the attempted reinstatement of the reality of fairies at the end of the seventeenth century, as well as their place in ballads and in Scottish literature.

A basic introduction to the world of fairies. As we explore fairy mythology and legends, we will investigate the various types of fairies, their origins, and the distinguishing characteristics that set them apart from one another. We will learn about the different species of fairies that exist around the world, from the diminutive pixies of England to the mischievous leprechauns of Ireland. Discover ways to connect with the fairy realm, such as rituals, offerings, and even how to construct your own fairy house. Learn the plants and herbs that are believed to attract fairies, as well as the magical significance of each. - Fairies Around the World - How to Work with the Fae - What Food Offerings do Fairies like? - Crystals and Stones- Flowers, Fruits, and Herbs - Fairy Stories from Ireland and Wales EXCERPT: A fairy is a mythological being or legendary creature found in several European nations' folklore, including Celtic, Slavic, Germanic, English, and French folklore. They are a type of spirit that are frequently referred to as metaphysical, supernatural, or preternatural. Fairy myths and tales synthesize common beliefs from several sources rather than having a single foundation. According to many folk conceptions, fairies originated as either demonized angels or angels in the Christian tradition, deities in Pagan religions, ghosts of the deceased, ancient humans, or spirits of nature. The term "fairy" has occasionally only been used to describe a certain type of magical being with human-like features, supernatural abilities, and a propensity for deceit. At times, it has been used to refer to any magical being, including gnomes and goblins. The adjective "fairy" has occasionally been employed to denote "enchanted" or "magical," respectively. It also refers to the nation from whence these beings hail, the realm of fairies.Working with fairies can add a sense of supernatural wonder to your practice and make a place feel like a home. Just remember that not all faeries are good and generous; there is frequently a cunning, trickster element among them. The more you learn about them and the various kinds of beings there, the easier it will be for you to interact with them. The energy they provide your magic will be a remarkable reward if they become friends with you.
