Fairies

A Guide to the Celtic Fair Folk

By: Morgan Daimler

Narrated by: Chloe Cannon

The subject of fairies in Celtic cultures is a complex one that seems to endlessly intrigue people. What exactly are fairies? What can they do? How can we interact with them? Answering these questions becomes even harder in a world that is disconnected from the traditional folklore and flooded with modern sources that are often vastly at odds with the older beliefs.

This book aims to present listeners with a straightforward guide to the older fairy beliefs, covering everything from Fairyland itself to details about the beings within it. The Otherworld is full of dangers and blessings, and this guidebook will help you navigate a safe course among the Good People.

Excellent information

Excellent book too hear good information and informative the author is very into it as well that makes a book even better too listen too makes it a better experience

Educational and Informative

Okay hear me out. If you're a skeptic that is looking for an anthropological / sociological disection of broadly Celtic folklore relating to "The Other Crowd" you've come to the right place. This is exceptionally well-researched, in addition to being an easy listen/read.

Morgan's writing is not dense, nor does it talk down to you. She writes with authority and humor, and leaves the reader with a sense that she is inviting you in.

I recommend this book both for the accademic and the pagan, there's something in here for the curious and inquisitive. Near the end she does talk about her own experiences with the good folk and as a practicing pagan, but that in no way taints the research she's done, simply adds a bit of flavor.

Educational

This book was exactly what I was looking for and I appreciate the recommendations of other authors included to further educate myself.

Wonderfully researched

Loved this book. Not based upon current pop culture, but faithfully researched folklore and mythology.

An excellent overview of fairy lore old and new

For those who are searching for a quality introduction to fairies and their folklore, Morgan Daimler's "Faeries: A Guide to the Celtic Fair Folk" is an excellent resource. Included are many examples from myths and folklore about the fae and their dealings as well as practical methods for dealing with them. This is a very balanced approach that not only describes the reasons why someone might wish to engage with these beings, but also does not shy away from the many reasons why someone might *not* wish to do so. Highly recommended.

Excellent narration (and pronunciation of Irish terms) by Chloe Cannon.
