Fairies abound in myth and folklore. They have enchanted humans for centuries –– but are these mischievous, ethereal creatures more than just a myth? Find, in this book, a plain & simple guide to the history and mystery of nature spirits and their magical realm. 

One could ask for no better guide to the fairy realm than Ralph Harvey. In Fairy Lore he intersperses his own intriguing fairy encounters (among them, a mysterious musical interlude in an Irish valley) with succinct yet interesting introductions to the folktales of the fae. Here's a sampling of what you'll learn through Harvey's book: How fairies have influenced everyone from Henry III to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle; the best ways to seek out fairies (hint: aligning your chakras will help) and how to express gratitude for fairy favors; how to create charms to protect against fairies and other supernatural beings; which gemstones and crystals draw specific types of fairy and elemental beings; why roses have special meaning to fairies and why “elf bolts” are significant, as well.
