The Faery Folklorist
September 30th, 2009
A wonderful guide to faerylore from the Northern counties is The Faery Folklorist. The author is actually visiting sites with faery associations and each post is accompanied by splendid photographs of the area. During these adventurings the faeries have so far remained elusive, but perhaps one day the author may have their own sighting to report. (Although I am not sure I’d like to encounter some of the Folk mentioned myself!). I don’t know if the investigations of the Faery Folklorist will eventually cover a wider area, but for now enjoy the tales from this particularly lovely part of the British Isles.

Thanks for featuring my website, I hope to cover a wider area too, hopefully going to be visiting Ireland next year so i’ll be sure to visit some lovely faery places then and add them to my blog! :)
I’ve been on a quest to see faeries myself, and I have, more than once! The very best time is in the early spring in the woods on a misty or rainy day. If you can find a creek or small stream with trees that have exposed roots on the bank, that’s the best place to find them. I’ve seen faeries at Laughing Horse Inn in Taos, New Mexico, in the woods near Kalamazoo, Michigan, in an old growth forest near Seattle, Washington, in the hills of Berkeley, California, in a creek deep in the woods of northern Quebec near the Saguenay River, and in the mountains of Andorra.
If you want to see faeries, then make sure you go out tramping in the wodds when the wildflowers first start blooming in the spring. But stop to watch the energy of tiny spiders and then you’ll be able to see the faeries.
