false 1218611 9 With a new introduction by Carl McColman, this new edition of the classic study of traditional Celtic spirituality ties ancient Paganism, medieval myth, and traditional Fairy beliefs into a powerful celebration of Celtic wisdom and magic. The author, W. Y. Evans-Wentz, was best known as the translator of The Tibetan Book of the Dead. In the world of Celtic spirituality he made his mark through The Fairy-Faith in Celtic Countries. This magnificent book is a collection of stories, anecdotes, and legends from all six of the regions where Celtic ways have persisted in the modern world: Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, Brittany, and the Isle of Man. It examines how Fairy spirituality survived in the face of hostility caused by modern science and religion. It celebrates how beliefs (which only a century ago were dismissed as quaint and superstitious) were, in fact, powerful principles of ancient Pagan magic that remained essential features of the Celtic world for generation after generation. 1207086 1973 The Fairy-Faith in Celtic Countries total:43|5:18|4:18|3:6|2:1|1:0| 43 182 122 9 5 2 false false Mon Jul 07 09:15:53 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 07 09:17:27 -0700 2008 more...]]> 2 0 false false Fri Nov 06 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Oct 21 19:06:03 -0700 2009 Fri Nov 06 17:37:09 -0800 2009 1 4 0 false false Wed Oct 17 13:40:34 -0700 2007 Wed Oct 17 13:43:39 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Sep 14 07:52:18 -0700 2008 Wed Dec 31 22:41:12 -0800 2008
One of my favorite quotes (I don't remember where I read it, probably in a book about consciousness or neurology) is, "what you see is your brain's best guess about what's out there." Most brains, at least in the US, don't guess "fairy." I like imagining a world wh...more...]]> 3 0 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Wed Jun 13 05:40:12 -0700 2007 Wed Jun 13 06:42:53 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue May 20 22:02:30 -0700 2008 Tue May 20 22:05:51 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Mon Apr 14 02:20:15 -0700 2008 Sun Apr 20 01:45:37 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Fri Aug 17 09:22:57 -0700 2007 Fri Aug 17 09:23:12 -0700 2007 5 0 false false Tue Jan 22 18:46:49 -0800 2008 Tue Jan 22 19:21:16 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Sun Oct 25 12:57:36 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 25 12:57:36 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Oct 25 04:09:42 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 25 04:09:42 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Oct 24 06:54:28 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 24 06:54:28 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Oct 23 08:48:40 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 23 08:48:40 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Thu Oct 01 19:33:52 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 01 19:33:52 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Sep 28 21:20:35 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 28 21:20:35 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Sep 18 13:22:49 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 18 13:22:49 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Sep 16 12:45:28 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 16 12:45:28 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Sep 16 11:27:46 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 16 11:27:46 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Sep 16 11:25:49 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 16 11:25:57 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon Sep 07 14:24:13 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 07 14:24:13 -0700 2009
