Part Two, which is the thickest section of the book, is “Spells, Rituals, and Practices for Working with Fairies Throughout the Year.” First are spells for that fairy specialty-love, seduction, and glamour. Any of these objects can become a personal doorway through which energy and thoughts can be exchanged with Fae allies. Skye Alexander recommends creating a fairy door, garden, altar, or specially programmed crystal.
Part One concludes with some guidance for developing a regular practice of fairy magick. There’s a section on where to meet fairies-places and times that are most advantageous to the fairy seeker. Next, there’s a discussion of some of the precautions a Witch should take when reaching out to fairies or visiting their realm (more on this later). (This section has a strong Celtic bent, which the author readily acknowledges.) We’re reminded that Fae folks run the whole gamut -they may appear as large or small, noble or capricious, seductive or terrifying. There’s a summary of the various types or classes of fairies, as revealed through the fairy stories of different world cultures. We learn about their special powers, including shapeshifting, healing, and divining the future. Part One is entitled, “Communing with Fairies.” For the first 80 pages or so, we learn about who fairies are and how they may aid the Witch.
(It’s subtitled Your Complete Guide to the Magick of the Fae-and while it’s laughable that any volume about this mysterious topic could be considered “complete,” the book is comprehensive enough that a little overselling can be forgiven.) It’s divided into two major sections, which together cover the theory and practice of fairy magick. Part encyclopedia, part grimoire, this book is packed with information. Popular witchcraft author Skye Alexander has just come out with a thorough and accessible guide to connecting with the magick of the Fae. What if you could peek into a world of enduring magick, wisdom, and beauty? What if you could visit fairyland and return safely to being a human Witch, forever changed and empowered? The Modern Witchcraft Guide to Fairies (June 2021) is an invitation to anyone who’s ever been drawn to the fairy dance.
