The Faery Teachings [Paperback]

Orion Foxwood (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 1, 2007

The "Faery Teachings" re-attune us to the spirits of the land, sea, wind, flame, human ancestry and the Elder race, which we know as the Faery. This attunement occurs through the application of age-old lore, techniques, folk practices, inner contacts and wisdom of Faery Seership. The stream of mystical teachings contained herein arises from the underworld of creation and babbles through the dark forests of the spirit-world bringing fresh inspiration and deep meaning to the seeker. The source of this stream lies in the stars and deep within the planet nourishing each living thing. It is available to quench the spiritual thirst of the committed seeker of truth. Orion Foxwood is an Elder in Celtic and Romano-Celtic Traditional Craft, a High Priest in Alexandrian tradition and is the Founding Elder of Foxwood Temple of the Old Religion. He is co-director of the Moonridge Center, a land-based nature sanctuary and mystical educational center located in Maryland. He holds a Master of Human Services degree and is a Licensed Professional Counselor. He is a traditional Faery Seer and has taught these practices as well as psychic development, American Southern folk magic and traditional Craft for nearly 20 years.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of THE best books on the Faery Tradition....., November 21, 2006

This review is from: The Faery Teachings (Paperback)

I really cannot recommend this book highly enough. If you care delving into and searching for a complete and transforming book on faerie.ancestor work...THIS ONE IS IT. I've read many a book on faeries and 99% are just cut and paste fluff and filler. This one is the real deal. Evocative artwork and prose (with enchanting snipits of poetry from all the best enchanted poets over the centuries)....these practices and essays will change your life.

I have read this book 3 times and I am sure to reread it over and over. I glean something new from it each time. Here are the chapters since nothing much about the book is listed here....

A word about the Vision Key cards, they blew me away. The artwork and obvious power of these images is undeniable. This is a must book if you are at all interested in serious, in-depth work with Faeries. Look around there are very cheap copies elsewhere...

I have read many books concerning this subject and Orion's is by far the best. His is a mixture of excellent scholarship and true inspiration. I strongly encourage anyone interested in "the fair folk" to buy this book. You won't be sorry!

Orion Foxwood is an excellent teacher and this book is an easy read and good introduction into the serious world of the faery. Faery are not gossamer winged creatures of our imagination. If you wish to truly learn about their world and how to work with them, start with this book.
