Description

There are dozens of faery types: nymphs, elves, dwarves, pixies, leprechauns and flower faeries, to name a few. Every culture on Earth shares a traditional belief in the 'Little People'. The Book of Faeries describes more than 50 types of faery from all over the world, explaining their folklore, characteristics and attributes. From mischievous pranksters such as Puck and Gremlins to the angelic faeries, who have much in common with guardian angels, The Book of Faeries reveals how the world of nature spirits and faery beings can bring wisdom, joy, and success. With special rituals, spells and recipes, along with the faeries favourite plants for healing, divination and spiritual growth, this book reveals a magical side of life that has almost been forgotten in the today's world. Beautifully illustrated this is an enchanting and fascinating guide to the history of faeries, how these beings participate at all levels of life and how they can be engaged to re-enchant modern lives.
