About this listen

Explore the enchanting world of Welsh fairy tradition as this guide unveils the enduring presence of these magical beings in Celtic myth and folklore. Join Welsh native Mhara Starling as she shares authentic Welsh beliefs, delves into the connection between magical practitioners and the fair family (Tylwyth Teg), and helps you incorporate these mystical entities into your own spiritual practice if you so choose.

Trace the threads of fairy lore from ancient Welsh literature, such as the Mabinogion, to Mhara's contemporary experiences. Uncover the mysteries of the Otherworld (Annwfn), the ethereal realm from which the fae emerge, and meet Gwyn ap Nudd, the Welsh king of fairies. Discover various fairy types and adjacent creatures like goblins and mermaids. More than a collection of stories, this book offers practical guidance and engaging exercises for understanding and interacting with the fair folk.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Mhara Starling is a beautiful weaver of story and exercises, exploring, as her title suggests, Welsh fairies. This book left me wishing I was Welsh, or had even been to Wales, which is now on my must visit places list. Mhara, breaks the myth of Tinkabell as the typical fairy, and introduces us through personal experience's, literature, history and Welsh mythology and folklore to the varied types of fairy (and connections to other cultures). She teaches us how to work with fairies within our own traditions, and to not take for granted their intentions as either wholly good nor bad, rather, their multifaceted nature, and to work with understanding, knowledge and maybe a little caution. Thank you Mhara, simply beautiful.
