First, what is "Faery"?
"Faery" is an old term that embraces all the elves and gnomes and fairies and other folk, small & large, of the otherworld. It includes angels whose wings spread across the cosmos, and the wee things that go bump in the night while they giggle at you when they watch you clean your kitchen, tie your shoes neatly to each other, and knot elf locks in your hair as you sleep.
The word "faery" also means the place - Faery. the land of all the faeries, also known as the otherworld. Faery is alongside our everyday world, almost but not quite in sync with us, overlapping in some ways, different in others, and operating on a different level of energy. One of the things I hope you will discover during your journey into the otherworld is how to live in both worlds at once. It is just a matter of learning to increase your range of perceptions, which is much easier than you may think.
May the Faeries be with you! |
