The modern witchcraft guide to fairies5/31/2023 ![]() ![]() It is a way not just to honor the fairies, but also to connect to them and to the Otherworld on a deeper level.įairy Witchcraft as described in this book is the summation of my own personal practices, developed since 1991. ![]() When a neopagan witch chooses to follow the Fairy Faith and blends the two together, the result is a new system, which I am calling Fairy Witchcraft, that uses elements of the beliefs and practices of both to create a whole. The Fairy Faith is a belief system that transcends religion and so can be followed within any religion however, it is uniquely suited to combining with paganism. Above all, it is a religion of risk, not something safe and secure to curl up in like a warm blanket, but rather a tough pair of boots that will take you off the beaten path and into the trackless woods.įairy Witchcraft is a way to bring the old Fairy Faith ways and beliefs forward into a modern neopagan context. ![]() Indeed, although it is a path with many rewards it is also a difficult one to walk and one that requires a great deal of effort to practice. Some people may find the combination of neopagan religion and traditional Fairy Faith beliefs ideal others may decide that it is not the path for them. Modern paganism includes a dizzying selection of paths and traditions, of which Fairy Witchcraft is but one. ![]()

Stardust by neil gaiman5/31/2023 ![]() ![]() To him, readers are readers and he caters to both seamlessly.įortunately, the Milk…is a children’s book, heavily and beautifully illustrated by Chris Riddell, which tells the whimsical tale of a father’s journey around the world. It’s also lovely because it demonstrates how well Neil Gaiman is able to adapt his ideas to an audience of children rather than adults. This is a real flexing of this writer-artist pair’s imagination muscles. This is still a lovely Neil Gaiman book, in part because Chris Riddell’s illustrations are utterly gorgeous. I also read this book at the age of 23, knowing that the target demographic is very young children. It feels a little mean putting this at the bottom but, honestly, Neil Gaiman has never written a flat-out bad book. We’re starting with his worst and moving down to his best. So, if you’re wondering where to start reading Neil Gaiman, or you’re simply looking for the very best Neil Gaiman books, here is my own ranking. If it’s good Neil Gaiman prose, it’s on this list. This list of the best Neil Gaiman books includes his novels for children, his novels for adults, and his short story collections all ranked from worst to best. You won’t find Sandman or any of his work for Marvel and DC here. What you’ll find here is my ranking of the best Neil Gaiman books. ![]() ![]() The Best Neil Gaiman Books, Ranked: Worst to Best The Best Neil Gaiman Books, Ranked: Worst to Best. ![]()

Dragonfly in amber outlander5/31/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() I love people for the varied experiences that they have brought to my life. I love places for the inspiration that they stir in my soul. I love music for the way it makes me feel. With some age and a great deal of life experience I find that my love of love has moved beyond princes and fairy tales to well, everything. Would the sequel to Cinderella have included a scene where Cindy throws a plate at Charming’s head? I’d like to think so because, let’s be honest, even Prince Charmings can be total jerks sometimes. What my naive self did not realize at the time is that we never got to see the “happily ever after” and if we had, it probably wouldn’t have been quite so happy. When I was younger, I was in love with the fairy tale kind of love the kind where the prince swoops in at the last second to save the day, kiss the princess, and carry her away to their happily ever after. It’s a collection of my favorite lines of love from the Outlanderand Dragonfly in Amber books that didn’t make it to our television screens.
