Book SEEING FAIRIES

Download or read book SEEING FAIRIES written by Marjorie T. Johnson and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-01 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THIS IS NOT A CHILDREN'S BOOK. Its accounts of fairy experiences, mostly from the twentieth century, have come from business men and women, housewives, journalists, clergymen, bus drivers, anglers, gypsies, school teachers, university professors, soldiers, artists, authors, poets, musicians, sculptors, actresses, and many others who have seen fairies of various types in houses, churches, and sheds; in gardens, fields, woods, country lanes, and public parks; on moors, hills, and mountains; and even on sewing machines, typewriters, and kitchen stoves. In 1950 Marjorie T. Johnson became Honorary Secretary of a resurrected Fairy Investigation Society, which had been founded by Capt. Quentin C. A. Craufurd, and she collected accounts of fairies and also angelic beings from many of the members. In 1955 the Scottish author and folklorist Alasdair Alpin MacGregor collaborated with her in sending letters to the national press asking for further true experiences, and many more were received. The result is this book, published here in English for the first time. Marjorie Johnson's only request was that readers peruse the book with an open mind.

Book excerpt: Don’t be fooled by Tinkerbell and her pixie dust—the real fairies were dangerous. In the late seventeenth century, they could still scare people to death. Little wonder, as they were thought to be descended from the Fallen Angels and to have the power to destroy the world itself. Despite their modern image as gauzy playmates, fairies caused ordinary people to flee their homes out of fear, to revere fairy trees and paths, and to abuse or even kill infants or adults held to be fairy changelings. Such beliefs, along with some remarkably detailed sightings, lingered on in places well into the twentieth century. Often associated with witchcraft and black magic, fairies were also closely involved with reports of ghosts and poltergeists. In literature and art, the fairies still retained this edge of danger. From the wild magic of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, through the dark glamour of Keats, Christina Rosetti’s improbably erotic poem “Goblin Market,” or the paintings inspired by opium dreams, the amoral otherness of the fairies ran side-by-side with the newly delicate or feminized creations of the Victorian world. In the past thirty years, the enduring link between fairies and nature has been robustly exploited by eco-warriors and conservationists, from Ireland to Iceland. As changeable as changelings themselves, fairies have transformed over time like no other supernatural beings. And in this book, Richard Sugg tells the story of how the fairies went from terror to Tink.

Book Modern Fairy Sightings

Download or read book Modern Fairy Sightings written by Jo Hickey-Hall and published by Watkins Media Limited. This book was released on 2024-06-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern Fairy Sightings has recently become one of the most vital and exciting podcasts in spiritual circles. This book is both a colourful celebration of these encounters and a practical exploration of the thinning veil between worlds happening now. Reports of fairy sightings have become curiously common. Extraordinary encounters pervade our mundane lives, whether in the wilds of nature, unsuspecting back gardens or inside our homes. According to experiencers, after crossing this threshold of ‘knowing’ we are never quite the same. Our folklore reveals it has always been thus, but in these strange times a momentum is building. Jo Hickey-Hall’s Modern Fairy Sightings project began researching first-hand accounts in 2016. Guests on her podcast share personal stories of multi-sensory experiences that often result in personal transformations. Enlightening testimonies aid our passage through unprecedented, liminal times and are slowly helping us to realign our understanding of this Universe. These strange things are happening everywhere now. Here is an uplifting and richly illustrated book that will show through first-person encounters that the world is far richer and multifaceted than we used to think it was and that maybe there is a vast shift taking place to a kinder and more beautiful world.
