If you are curious about the Fae and you love things written from a historical perspective, then "Faery: A Guide to the Lore, Magic & World of the Good Folk" is a book for you. If you are a newer practitioner, this book is pretty advanced, and I would recommend starting with something more basic.

The book has 5 sections:

-History of the Fae

-Finding Faeries

-Faery Life

-Contact with the Fae

-Modern Times

One of the sections I went to immediately was "Faery Encounters" because I am quite convinced that an experience I had in May of 2021 was in fact an encounter with the Fae. This encounter took place in the pitch black darkness of the woods in Northern Minnesota, where I saw two little balls of light flitting about at the top of an enormous tree. My cousin verified that it was too early for fireflies. To this day, every time I think about it, my heart is filled with amazement and awe.

I appreciate the candor of the author, John T. Kruse.

He doesn't give the impression that everything is all

rainbow and glitter with the Fae. There is an emphasis on respecting the Fae, which in my opinion, is the most important factor in working with them.

Next time you come to SpiritWays, I encourage you to take a moment or two, to observe the surroundings and energy here and just maybe, you will have your own encounter or experience with the shop Faeries.
