Book Synopsis

'A must-read for anyone looking to understand these incredible but non-human Beings.' Amy Blackthorn, author of Blackthorn's Protection Magic and owner of Blackthorn's Botanicals

The world of Fairy has intrigued humanity across folklore and literature for as long as we have written records and into the modern period. This book seeks to detangle the convoluted history of the world of Fairy by looking at the various cultural beliefs that form the basis of the wider view and explore how those beliefs interact and impact each other. We will explore the Irish Soal Eile, Scottish Elfland, English Fairy, and Welsh Annwn before delving into modern and popcultural understandings of this Otherworld so intrinsically bound to our own.

Review Quotes

Fairy is a fascinating study that examines beliefs in Fairy - the magical world - from across Celtic languages speaking cultures. The book is complex yet non-intimidating, with content clearly structured and accessible to a broad audience. Lore that is authentic to Celtic languages speaking cultures, scholarly research, and personal thought weave together to convey a fuller picture of Fairy, a picture that shows not just the mystery and magic but also things coming down crashing when humans act poorly because of either ignorance or disregard for rules. Fairy, The Celtic Otherworld By Many Names is a must read for anyone interested to understand fairies and the importance of balance between their world and ours.--Daniela Simina, author of Pagan Portals-Where Fairies Meet Parallels between Irish and Romanian Fairy Traditions, and A Fairy Path: The Memoir of a Young Fairy Seer in Training
