Description
An in-depth exploration of the ancient Fairy-related beliefs of Europe and the British Isles, An Carow Gwyn delves into the "Fayerie Faith", a sprawling analysis of the folkloric presence of old animism and spirit-worship in ancient and pre-modern Europe, Eurasia, Britain, and Ireland. The book also presents a modern Grimoire of practical sorcery based on pre-modern principles and traditional spirit-metaphysics. Robin Artisson's translation of a 14th century work, "The Romance of Thomas of Erceldoune", is included, along with detailed notes revealing the esoteric significance of the story, which explores the relationship between humans and the Fayerie World. The book also examines countless other old tales for their truths and guidance, shedding light on the Old Way of seeing and living in the world. A philosophical treatise on Spiritual Ecology is woven throughout the book, critiquing modern cultural philosophies and ideologies in light of the Old Ways, and uncovering forgotten histories and hidden laws behind historical works of sorcery.
