Sparkles with glittering faery magic
By Paolo Sammut
I really enjoyed reading Faery Craft by Emily Carding. This is a book that I have been aware of and anticipating for several months, ever since seeing Emily Carding's awesome "Tarot of the Sidhe" and reading her excellent essay in "Both Sides of Heaven". It is clear from looking at her work that she is in touch with the Fey and is instrumental in bringing their energies into the world. I have not been disappointed reading Faery Craft and even reading it on my Kindle iPad app I am happy to say that the work captures that faery enchantment and sparkles with glittery magic across every page.
I have been practicing magic and pestering supernatural entities for quite a few years now, so am not approaching this book as a beginner, rather as someone who wants to learn more about a subject which (at least in my esoteric neck of the woods) is rather obscure.
Faery-lore is something where there are a lot of legends and references however very little actual information. Digging back into history there are more interesting accounts and several grimoires which have sections on dealing with faeries. However usually we are left with folklore and fairytales as the main body of information regarding these entities. It is a fleeting, frustrating subject to research however and the problem with older sources is that our perspective and culture has moved on, leaving some work rather dated. Emily Carding has done a superb job however and is a magical practitioner and a Priestess, so her contemporary perspective and work is invaluable. This book has been needed for quite some time.
The book begins by looking at what faeries actually are. This is possibly an impossible question however all the ideas that have been put forward in the past are discussed and explained with theories ranging from simple nature sprits to ancestors to aliens. Emily makes a great point when she considers the idea that rather than us considering faeries as "aliens" (in the ET sense), could we consider "aliens" as faeries and alien contact experiences as faery experiences? I do not doubt that we are looking at the same phenomena here perhaps seen from two different cultural lenses and turning the usual idea on its head in this way provides much food for thought. I wonder for example whether anyone has tried any of the usual anti-faery measures such as using iron during a UFO/alien experience.
Faery Craft is woven around a seven pointed star, each point corresponding to a specific branch of faery lore. Each point on the star corresponding to the concepts of Knowledge, Connection, Trust, Honour, Magick, Joy and Inspiration, each of these being important keys when discussing and interacting with the Fey.
I have already discussed "knowledge" above, which concerned what faeries are, as well as discussing the rules to follow when dealing with them (such as avoiding Faery Food) and remembering the correct etiquette when dealing with the good folk. Each chapter is quite substantial and loaded with lots of information, much more than I can do justice with here using a few brief words of description.
The second chapter "connection" looks at faeries in our landscape, discussing the types of elemental being out there and also placing some within the context of a year; a zodiac; so we know from the astrological sign behind them what type of qualities we might expect and perhaps when would be a good time to work with that type of being. This chapter led very nicely into the next, "trust" which then considered the underworld journey and using portals and gateways.
The next chapter "honour" then focused on devotional work and how to best honour and work with the Fey, so Carding discusses building a shrine and how to make offerings (including what not to offer for sound environmental reasons). Again I found that this chapter bridged very easily with the next, "magick" which looked at getting started with practicing magic and detailed (among much more) the magical directions and sacred spaces, how to cast a circle and create and use magical tools.
The next two chapters "joy" and "inspiration" then step out into the wide world and look at what is out there today. So there is a discussion on the different faery events and gathering which occur around the world and then a section on crafts detailing how to make your own garments, wings etc as part of a costume. I'll be the first to admit that faery wings do not suit my complexion, however a lot of people will find this chapter very useful as they cast their own faerie glamour! We then move on to the inspiration which the Fey have given humanity so much in the arts so we read about the work of people such as RJ Stewart, John and Caitlin Matthews, and Wendy and Brian Froud as well as the relevance of the work of JRR Tolkien. There is much more here as Emily Carding looks at a wide range of people working with Faery contacts today as artists, magicians and writers.
Finally this is all tied together with a final chapter "balance" which contains a septagram working and a final fairytale loaded with meaning and inspiration
Each chapter ends with a number of activities designed to help bring you in contact with the faerie kingdoms. There are certainly a few spots I know of both in Somerset where I live and also Hertfordshire which certainly feel faerie-haunted to me where I shall certainly go and meditate to see what happens; not forgetting the proper etiquette of course!
The whole book is very well researched drawing upon the work of such luminaries as have been named above (and many more), as well as past authors and Fey-explorers such as A.E. and W.B. Yeats (both with a Golden Dawn heritage), W.Y. Evans-Wentz whose classic "The Fairy Faith in Celtic countries" was written before he went off gallivanting to Tibet (to write other classics) and many others. However through all this Emily Carding's work is a gossamer thread of inspiration running across all the faery realms opening up this hidden kingdom and helping anyone who hears such a calling to enter.
Threaded through with personal accounts, poetry, interviews and stunning artwork this is a book to be read, re-read and treasured forever. Very highly recommended.

Welcome to the World of the Fae
By S. Cranow
Lately the Fairy path has been calling out to many people, myself included, perhaps even more so then the Pagan Gods and Goddesses. I have read many books on fairy some have been simple and others have been complex. This book strikes a balance often times giving a through review. of what may have been read previously along with new information and insight. To explain the world of fairy the author uses the Septagram or seven pointed star as an out line. The Septagram was held sacred to the Goddess Inanna of ancient Sumeria. Along with a layout of the fairy world there are interviews with such gifted authors as John and Caitlyn Mathews, RJ Stewart, Charles De Lint and a whole bunch of others. Interviews are also given to Brian and Wendy Froud, Marc Potts, Karen Martinez and a slew of others. Singers and musicians are well represented also groups like Dolmen and SJ Tucker are interviewed often giving great insight in to the world of fairy. For those new to the fairy community there are resources for organizations and faerie festival. Alas I am jumping to the end of the book.
Top start with the beginning we must go with knowledge. Chapter one tells us several possibilities of who the fairies are. Some theories trace them back to old gods, other people posit they are aliens and the list goes on to spirits of the dead, fallen angels to expressions of the world soul. Some deities associated with faeries are Freya, Morrigan and Hekate. The first chapter also gives a thorough discussion on etiquette. Faeries hate Iron, be careful as to when you [partake of faerie food. Give them the first offering of a nhewly opened bottle of water, milk or alcoholic beverage. Leave food for them. About thanking faeries well perhaps follow through is very important. Always be honest when approaching the fae.
The other chapters include Connection, Trust, Honour, Magick, Joy and Inspiration. The book gives a thorough how to an doing rituals, finding tools and building a relationship with the faeries. At the end of the chapter there are exercises which help your spiritual advancement. They are worth doing as they help connect you to the environment and the fairy world. The book does not sell it self as a bible or a must do but rather as a gathering of tools as there is no room in spirituality for absolute authority.
For those seeking to walking the path of the fae or build a closer connection to them. I would advise reading this book. What is said there in will not conflict with any previous held beliefs. All hail the world of the fae.

Faery Craft
By Sheri Newton
Faery Craft by Emily Carding is a charming book that looks into the faery realm, and the people who are drawn to it. It is a guidebook on all things faery. It isn't too focused on beginner ideas of the faery, and not too advanced for beginners to be lost on the subject. It really is a perfect balance for both beginners and advanced faery explorers to enjoy this book.
Faery Craft is the type of book on faeries that I absolutely love. It is loaded with information, art, exercises for us to try, and personal experiences. Carding writes with such passion that it really made me as a reader become involved in the book, and want to try out these exercises too.
The book is divided into brilliantly designed and outlined chapters including: knowledge, connection, trust, honour, magick, joy, inspiration, and balance. I enjoyed them all, and found the knowledge chapter to be especially interesting because the fae may not be who or what you originally thought after reading this important chapter.
This is a beautifully crafted book about faeries. It has everything I'd want out of a book about faeries including history, personal accounts, interviews, poetry, artwork, photos, and so much more. I love this book, and if you are interested in the faery kingdom, I think you will like it, too. I highly recommend it.
* Thank you to the publisher of Faery Craft, Llewellyn, for providing me with a copy of this book for review. All opinions expressed are my own.
