Pagan Portals: Fairy Herbs for Fairy Magic
By: Daniela Simina - Moon Books - $12.95
Overview: Fairy Herbs for Fairy Magic, the first book to cater exclusively to fairy-related herbalism, gathers in one volume more than 40 fairy-specific herbs, and details their uses in fairy magic.
Introducing its reader to fairies, their mercurial nature and relationship to people, this book gives insights into the roles and attributes of fairy witches and seers - from olden times to the present day - and also into the role of fairy familiars.
As a practical resource, Fairy Herbs for Fairy Magic is complete with ideas for rituals, charms, and spells.
Verdict: Much as the title suggests, Pagan Portals: Fairy Herbs for Fairy Magic by author Daniela Simina invites the reader into a rather unique exploration of the world of Fairy and their associated herbs.
But trust me when I say that there is much more to this book than just that, for the lore of countries associated with fairies, such as Romania, Ireland and even Norse sources are delved into here.
And with everything written and therein brought forth in a dedicated, very thoughtful, and at all times highly instructive way, this mix of scholarship and personal esoteric knowledge of spiritual truth comes beautifully forth, leading us gently by the hand into this world of enchanted enchantment.
For contained within these most assuredly impassioned pages are prose on just how plants and fairies work together, but herblore, in general, is fascinatingly revealed, allowing even the most causal of passerby to the subject to become gradually hooked to what is brought forth within this most captivating book on the subject.
Opening on an examination of the fairy faith, fairy magic, and fairy familiars, and how throughout the history of partnerships between humans and fairies, various kinds of herbal knowledge was offered by fairy familiars, it also details how exactly such knowledge was imparted and so forth.
Then we learn about what qualifies an herb as fairy herb, and as we progress, we get some guidance about harvesting and harnessing plant energy, followed by a collection of practical recipes and so much more.
