Mysterious and intriguing, the Queens of Fairy have been intertwined with mortal lives and imaginations for as long as we have had myth and folklore. Goddesses to some, fictional characters to others, these powerful Queens are bound up in the history of witchcraft and still have a role to play today. This book takes a look at who the Fairy Queens are, explores some of their individual stories, and considers how we can still connect…
The book includes many women that are considered Faeries (Fae), Queens, and/or Goddesses. The author does an excellent job including the history and lore of many of these women. She includes basic manners if you meet a Fairy Queen including what not to do. There is a breakdown of the different Courts of Fairies which is important to know if you meet one. There are ways to honor the Fairy Queens along with Journeys to meet them. These Fairy Queens are included:
Queen of Elfland
Nicnevin and Cyre-Carlin
Aine
Aoibheall
Cliodhna
Una
Titania
Morgen le Fay
Gloriana
I really like the meditations she includes along with the different journeys to meet different fairies. I love the mention of Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files series.
