I am very proud to report that I have finished this tome of collected folklore! It is a collection of testimony and essays, so it can at points be very...very dry, but if you can push through and re-read those passages where you zoned out you will be gifted with the most comprehension collection of eye-witness testimony of true believers in the fae beings of the Celtic lands.
What Drew Me In
1. Pages and Pages of testimony from a host of different people living in the Celtic lands who had a personal experience with an intelligent spirit they believed to be of the otherworld - a fae or a fairy.
2. While the author admitted that he had never had an encounter himself, he was sure of his sources and believed that the wild world had intelligences of non-human origin.
3. Additionally, there are many essays presenting anthropological theories for these intelligences.
How I Think I Can Apply This Magically
1. I was introduced to various practices to entice and placate the fae.
2. It helped me come up with my own theories on the subtle differences between fae, ghost and spirit.
