Welsh Fairies: A Guide to the Lore, Legends, Denizens & Deities of the Otherworld
About this ebook
Join Welsh native Mhara Starling on a captivating journey through the realm of the fair folk. Together, you will trace the threads of fairy lore from ancient Welsh literature like the Mabinogion to Mhara’s own contemporary experiences.
Delve into the depths of Annwfn (the Otherworld), the ethereal home where the fae reside, and meet Gwyn ap Nudd, the legendary king of fairies. Explore the enchanting variety of Welsh magical beings, including lake maidens, spectral lights, goblins, and mermaids.
Discover the connection between magical practitioners and the Tylwyth Teg (fair family) and how you can, if you choose, incorporate these liminal entities into your own spiritual practice. More than a collection of stories, this guide to a Celtic fairy tradition offers practical insight and engaging exercises for those who wish to interact directly with the denizens of the Otherworld.
