Synopsis

Work magick with help from the little people

All over the world, people have reported encounters with a race of tiny people who are neither human nor deity. This book reclaims that lost, rich heritage of working with faery folk that our Pagan ancestors took for granted.

Edain McCoy teaches how to work with faeries in a mutually beneficial way. Practice rituals and spells in which faeries can participate, and discover tips to help facilitate faery contact. These capricious creatures can help with divination, past life recall, scrying, and spiritual quests. Also included is a dictionary of more than 230 faeries that include goblins, gnomes, elementals, seasonal faeries, and angels.

About Edain McCoy

Edain McCoy became a self-initiated Witch in 1981 and was an active part of the Pagan community since her formal initiation into a large San Antonio coven in 1983. Edain had researched alternative spiritualities since her teens, when she was first introduced to Kabbalah. Since that time, she studied a variety of magickal paths, including Celtic, Appalachian folk magick, and Curanderismo, a Mexican-American folk tradition.

An alumnus of the University of Texas with a BA in history, she was affiliated with several professional writer's organizations and occasionally presented workshops on magickal topics or worked individually with students who wished to study Witchcraft.

Edain authored over fifteen books, including Bewitchments, Enchantments, and Ostara: Customs, Spells & Rituals for the Rites of Spring.

First and foremost, this is not a book for beginners and newcomers to witchcraft, who will likely be lost without a basic understanding of magick and the workings of the craft. The subject matter covered here is, to say the least, going to be unusual from the view of an outsider. Faeries though have......more

Goodreads review by Brad on June 27, 2008

In my opinion this is the best book on the market on the fey. I reviewed a few books on the topic and this is my favorite, and the one I purchased for my own library upon discovery that my urban apartment is home to a troupe of fairies! McCoy goes over history and information on the fey, as well as s......more

Goodreads review by Kathy on July 24, 2018

An encyclopedia for faeries from all over the world. In addition, this book contains folklore stories, spells, elemental fae and other Pagan goodness. McCoy's book is like a modern version of Andrew Lang's fairy books that come in different colours.......more
