Fairies abound in the realms of myth and folklore. They have enchanted humans for centuries--but are these mischievous, ethereal creatures more than just myth?

One could ask for no better guide to the fairy realm than Ralph Harvey, one of England's foremost modern-day witches. 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.

Within Fairy Lore you will learn

• How fairies 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
