T<\/span>he author takes you on a journey into the heart of the Celtic fayerie worlds\u2026 where trolls roam through sylvan glades\u2026 where dragons dwell amid mountain ranges\u2026 where at night, through sapphire skies, moonbeams descend on faeries, dancing. Ancient Fayerie reveals ways by which you can unite with these mystical worlds as you reconnect with nature and realise that you are not separate from Mother Earth.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cFaerie contains many things besides elves and fays, and besides dwarfs, witches, trolls, giants, or dragons, it holds the sea, the sun, the moon, the sky and the earth, and all things that are in it; tree and bird, water and stone, wine and bread, and ourselves, mortal men, when we are enchanted.\u201d J.R.R. Tolkien…. <\/b><\/i><\/span>.1<\/b><\/i><\/sup> <\/b><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Ancient Fayerie: Stories of the Celtic Sidhe and How to Connect to the Otherworldly Realms<\/b><\/i><\/span> by Melanie Godfrey is one of the newest offerings in the series Pagan Portals published by Moon Books. The reader finds within its pages lore, the magick of the author\u2019s experiences and ways to begin a journey of personal connection. Written from the perspective of the Celtic lands, there is much nonetheless than can be applied to any geographical location or culture, as these beings reside in the entirety of the greater earth. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Ancient Fayerie: Stories of the Celtic Sidhe and How to Connect to the Otherworldly Realms<\/b><\/i><\/span> is separated into two (2) sections, the first providing the means towards awareness and connection to the Fayerie realms and the second offering stories and lore crafted from the author\u2019s travels and encounters that fuel the imagination and open the gateways to a \u201csight\u201d inclusive of these beings of nature. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Spirit of the Land<\/b><\/span> (Section 1) serves as an introduction towards encouraging the reader to recognize that those of the Fayerie realms have been with us for centuries and that although many do not acknowledge their presence in modern society <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

…. Fayerie is an age-old name and is a sphere that has always <\/b><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>existed. Prehistoric folk were more attuned to the cycles of the <\/b><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>year. They interacted daily with the genius loci, which is a Latin word, and means the spirit, or guardians of the land. Fayerie is a state of mind rather than a place, it is a realm we enter as we pass through a spiritual dimension into the Otherworld and access higher states of consciousness, this connection can be accessed in our mind through meditation, or through visions….<\/b><\/i><\/span>.2<\/b><\/i><\/sup><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Throughout Section 1 and its sub sections, Ms. Godfrey offers ways for the reader to awaken to sensing and interacting with those beings of the Fayerie realms. These methods include the intuitive senses of the \u201cClairs\u201d, such as Clairsentience (Clear Feeling), Clairaudience (Clear Hearing), Clairvoyance (Clear Vision) and others. Practical ways of calling to the spirits of nature and Fae such as…..<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

…. Invoke the nature spirits by keeping flowers in your home<\/b><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

and leave offerings of pure ingredients. Meditate to connect to<\/b><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

these celestial beings. Take walks in the woodlands and notice the wildflowers, the trees and where the moss grows in abundance, now and then the moss carries a luminous glow, and I can sense that the fair folk reside there…. <\/b><\/i><\/span>.3<\/b><\/i><\/sup><\/span> <\/b><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Visualization and imagination are other ways in which the reader may connect to the Fayerie realms. Ms Godfrey uses this tool as a method for those less inclined to having refined psychic abilities. All humans have capacity for imaginings and envisioning your energies connected to that of the world surrounding; and by default connecting to the beings that inhabit those varied settings. There is a simple and powerfully effective meditation at the conclusion of <\/span>Creative Imagination <\/b><\/span>(Section 1) intended to access a space of higher consciousness within the user and thus opening the space for a deepening of connection towards the intention of sensing the \u201cother worlds\u201d. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The history and lore of the <\/span>Tuatha De Danann, <\/i><\/span>perhaps one <\/span>o<\/span>f the most well known mysteries surrounding the Fayerie beings<\/span> <\/i>is presented in <\/span>Ancient Fayerie<\/b><\/span> (Section 1). Much speculation surrounds this tribe of beings, their origins and perceived disappearance and for those who follow a Celtic path, they are very much a part of the practice and lore. Discussion of the \u201cgood\u201d and \u201cbad\u201d fae and suggested offerings and gifts to the land spirits are also topics of discussion. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Ms. Godfrey covers a wide range of beings from the realms of the greater earth in Section 1 which allows for various ways of engagement regardless of your location\u2019s topography. The Fae of the woodland settings, the Stone Beings, the Tree Beings and \u201cElven\u201d tribes of mermaids, dragons, gnomes, water sprites and trolls are all within our abilities to perceive and interact with once we have reawakened our memory of those connections. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Awakening the Sacred Heart of Fayerie (Section 1) reminds the reader that the true essence of these beings is that of heart-centered truth and wisdom…<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

….The fayerie kingdoms are a part of spirit world and live from a heart space of limitless awe and wonder. They are divine beings filled with compassion and knowing, they are nature itself. When you open your heart space, you become a mirror to the Otherworlds, enabling your communion with ease and grace…. <\/b><\/i><\/span>.4<\/b><\/i><\/sup><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Section II<\/b><\/span> of <\/span>Ancient Fayerie: Stories of the Celtic Sidhe and How to Connect to the Otherworldly Realms <\/b><\/i><\/span>is rich with Ms. Godfrey\u2019s personal encounters and interactions with the Beings of the Fayerie realms. Dragons, trolls, enchanted woodlands and Elven festivals fill these pages and speak to the truth and imagination that are the gateways to these realms and beings. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Would I Recommend:<\/b><\/u><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Ancient Fayerie: Stories of the Celtic Sidhe and How to Connect to the Otherworldly Realms <\/b><\/i><\/span>by Melanie Godfrey is a lovely exploration of the Fayerie realms. The material is presented in a thought-fi<\/span>l<\/span>led manner and offers many opportunities to experience the worlds of the Fae through meditations and practical suggestions. There is much useful information that can be used both magickally and environmentally in making the reader more aware of the impacts of humanity on the subtle beings of the Earth and the wisdom of balance achieved in recognition of the gifts of the Fayerie realms…<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

…. May your search for your individual truth and meeting with the fayerie kingdoms lead you to a homecoming within your heart. May you be inspired by the wisdoms of the earth, and the People of Peace, and learn how to walk alongside this fragile planet, recognizing the common thread of unity in all our hearts. The ancient fayerie await…. <\/b><\/i><\/span>.4<\/b><\/i><\/sup><\/span> <\/b><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
