Working With Fairies: Magick, Spells, Potions & Recipes to Attract & See Them ReviewI enjoyed this book, though I found the sub title a bit misleading about the book's contents. I was expecting to see page upon page of spells and charms but was pleasantly surprised by very thorough history lessons on many of The Wild Folk.
The eight chapters in the book contained a wealth of information of historical accounts of fairies from around the world. Where they live, what they do and how to obtain their help as well as avoid their ire comprised major portions of each chapter.
Chapters were divided into sections like The Other World, Devas and Dryads and Elementals. The last one was the most extensive filling about a third of the book with informational tidbits, poems, meditations, correspondences, and suggested rituals for each of the four Elemental Fae.
I have never been a big "fairy" person per se, but I found the historical accounts fascinating and well worth the read. The glossary in the back was a helpful addition to the book. Keeping track of who's who and what is often difficult in books like these. Having a well-formatted index with easy to read bold headings in the back made it easier to keep track of that.
In the chapter called Fairy Families, I especially liked the listing of the Muses and what their `specialty' was. This is something that I often wanted to know in the past but was unable to find the information as accessible as it is presented in this book. Information such as this is presented in a factual, straightforward manner. The author includes dates, places and names when possible as much of her source material came from historical accounts of `witch' trails.
The recipes included in the book are made with common ingredients for the most part, making it possible for those interested in deepening their relationships with fairies to try their hand at making them.
If you are interested in fairy lore, or want to include fairies as part of your practice, this is a good book with plenty to hold your interest.

Working With Fairies: Magick, Spells, Potions & Recipes to Attract & See Them OverviewFairies are mysterious and elusive creatures that inhabit an invisible realm-a realm that exists alongside the merely physical world we live in, a place the old Celts called the "Otherworld." Theirs is a kingdom where it is always summer, where the orchards bear fruit and flowers at the same time, and where death and old age are unknown. For the lucky few, these creatures are occasionally seen in the blink of an eye or on the edge of a dream, and their haunting voices heard on the wind through the lonely valleys and forests - for those who have ears to hear it.As elusive as they are, there have been tales of humans who have spent extended time with fairies-by walking inadvertently into the mist between two stones or by stepping accidentally into a fairy ring-and who have been taught by them to heal, make potions, and use spells.Sadly, as we humans have moved away from our close connection to the earth, we have also lost our link with the "wildfolk." The stories of them that persisted lost their awe-inspiring quality: in our feeble imaginations we have turned them into the cute Tinkerbells of popular nursery tales.But this is not a book about the imaginary creatures of storybooks: It is about real fairies, potent and awe-inspiring beings of earth, air, fire and water, of plant, stream, rock and place. Working With Fairies describes in detail the diverse world of the fairy, from house spirits, nature spirits, elementals, and devas, to personal fairy guardians and sweethearts. And it contains techniques to enable you to contact the fairy realm or "Otherworld," including:When, where and how to see fairies; Attraction techniques;Workings and Rituals to involve fairies;Dealing with the unwanted attentions of fairies;Guided meditations;Spells and potions to enable ‘the sight';Anna Franklin is the author of The Illustrated Fairy Encyclopaedia, The Fairy Ring, Fairy Lore, and Watercolor Fairies. She is well-known to fairy fans and readers of MBS books on both sides of the Atlantic. Her works have been translated into eight languages. Anna lives in a village in the English Midlands.
