Faeriecraft: Treading the Path of Faerie Magic
Written by Faerie Priestess Alicen Geddes-Ward and illustrated by her husband Neil, Faeriecraft is a book for people who want to deepen their connection to Faerie. It is a spiritual path based on a Wiccan framework but is more inclusive and approachable. The topics range from introductions to the Fae and Faerieland, creating an altar, visualisations and meditations, and ideas for rite of passage rituals. The Faeriecraft website gives you a sampling of what the book and path has to offer. There is also The Faerie Fellowship, which is a sister site to Faeriecraft, where followers of the path can meet and work together.
Alicen is currently writing another book on Faeries, this time collecting together people’s real life experiences and is looking for readers to submit their own stories.

Alicen, i read “Faeriecraft” from cover to cover and certainly developed my path to new stages, i have always felt a life involving the faeries and your book helped me to develop my path further so i hope you write another soon.
Many Thanks

I haven’t always believed in fairies, but now I do, more than ever. One year ago my friend Luna and I were having a sleepover because it was national fairy day, we laid out jams, peanuts, milk, butter, etc. In the morning we both woke up to a brilliant smell of flowers and dew, when we went out side to see if the fairies had come we found tiny flowers sprinkled all across the ground, and when we went to check on all the food, each cup we laid them in was empty! Later that day Luna and I decided that we would go sing and dance for the fairies! As we were dancing Luna spotted what to her looked like a tiny person sitting on the ground watching us! A fairy! That was my first experience but not my last…
About 9 months after the sleepover my family and I were pre-paring to go on a trip to my grandparents house. Before we left I hurried and watered my garden (which had just started to bloom) and as I was running back to get in the car I spotted out of the corner of my eye something buzz by my face. Now I have seen many flying insects in my life but there was something about this one that made me stop. I turned to get a quick glance at what was there when I saw a deep purple figure floating by with wings of no insect I had ever seen, but what was most amazing to me was in that glance I saw the body of a human hiding shyly with in it’s wings. Within a flash whatever I had saw was gone and my mother was calling me. It was time to go, but I knew what I had just seen was a fairy. Ever since that day I have believed in fairies with all my heart, and if you just found this page by accident and are only reading this because you are just plain old bored, let me tell you something, when you believe in something with all your heart and all your might the whole world opens up for you and you have all of a sudden this endless amount of possibilities right there in front of you. Before I believed in fairies I was stuck in the dark, no place to turn but to more darkness, now all that has changed, now I am free and always have this wonderful, happy feeling in the pit of my stomach because I know what is out there waiting just around the corner and I am going to walk around that corner with magic and belief I am going to get through whatever obstacle comes before me. All this just because of fairies, I believe in fairies, now just take a risk, step through that door way and walk into light, so many before you have done it, now its your turn. I know it’s scary to believe in something that you don’t truly know is there, but try, you will find that it’s been there all along. Just walk with it, see where you end up.
