Faery Healing: The Lore and the Legacy

by Margie McArthur, Jessica Macbeth

In the old Celtic Traditions, and even in more recent, historic times, interaction between humans and spirit beings was not an unusual occurrence. "Faery The Lore and the Legacy" is an informed and comprehensive book about the traditions of faery healing among the Celtic peoples of the British Isles, as evidenced in the faery lore and folk healing customs. The focus is specifically on beliefs, traditions and practices both mystical and magical as they relate to faery healing, with an emphasis on the development and use of new versions of these traditions for our era. Demonstrating its value in this day and age, and offering both visionary and practical techniques and procedures to move into that future, "Faery The Lore and the Legacy" guides us into a more harmonious relationship with our "Kin," the faery folk.

About the author

My Catholic upbringing did not manage to keep me from the study of metaphysics, which I began at an early age, delving into studies ranging from ghosts to reincarnation, and from Atlantis to mystical Christianity.

A Priestess of the Old Religion for over 30 years, I am also a Druid, an ordained minister, a Reiki practitioner, and am certified in crystal healing, acupressure and herbalism. Under the auspices of the Fellowship of Isis, I maintain the Hearth of Brigid Star of the Sea, and serve as ArchDruidess for our Druid Clan of Dana grove.

In years past, I served on the staff of both the old Crystal Well Magazine in the mid 1970's, and Dragons' Quest Magazine in the early 1990's.

Figuring out creative ways to share my Pagan Spirituality with my children finally led me to the writing of WiccaCraft for Families: The Path of the Hearthfire, which was published in 1994. My second book, Wisdom of the Elements: The Sacred Wheel of Earth, Air, Fire and Water came out in 1998, and my third, Faery Healing, in 2003 (Please visit my new website: www.faeryhealing.com).

I reside in California along with my very patient husband, four gorgeous, opinionated, and mostly grown-up children, and my fierce watchcat. In my not-so-copious spare time, I love to read, sing, bake, sew, crochet, and concoct herbal medicines.
