Book review: Travelling the Fairy Path

Hi, pornies! How are you today? I may be a little excited because I really wanted to speak about this book, which I feel in love with since the first chapter, and is the third book in the Fairy Witchcraft series of one of my favorite authors. Today I’m talking about Travelling the Fairy Path, by Morgan Daimler. Thanks to the publisher for sending me a copy!

An in-depth and experiential look from the inside at practicing Fairy Witchcraft. This unique form of spirituality is one that melds the traditions of the Fairy Faith with neopagan witchcraft, creating something that is new yet rooted in the old. In this third book in the series the reader is invited to travel down the path to Fairy with the author and see how their journey has unfolded over the last twenty-five years, weaving together practical experience and academic study. Looking at this form of witchcraft with an eye that is both serious and humorous Travelling the Fairy Path offers insight and suggestions for practices shaped from the source material and lived in daily life to help as the reader moves from beginner to experienced practitioner.

Whereas the second book was more aimed at a religious practice and how to build your craft focusing on the Fey, this book takes you one step further into what it would be a daily, “mundane” practice, so you can incorporate Fairy Witchcraft in your life with ease. There are many marvels here, if you ask me! It was one surprise after the other!

I liked all of the book, there was not a chapter I didn’t enjoy or a page that didn’t make me think about what I believed or felt about a certain topic, and it is way much easier to picture myself following these advices and practices than those on the second book. I don’t mean that it isn’t useful, but that the material here is aimed at a more practical approach.

You get to learn about names, etiquette, offering, trance, dreams, the importance of ballads and go deeper into concepts such as beauty, glamour and their role in witchcraft. I have been one of those witch who don’t see the power in beauty, but I’m quickly changing that idea, and this Morgan Daimler certainly played a role in it after what I read!

In the middle of so much mythology, folklore and traditions, Travelling the Fairy Path is a practical book that will guide you and teach you on how to incorporate the Fair Folk to your life in a natural way. You will get much more familiar with them and get a clear idea of what it would be like to live as a Fairy Witch. Plus, you will learn a lot about the Ogham! I’ve been waiting for a trust-worthy source and finally found it!
