Unveil the Mysterious World of Welsh Fairies Join Welsh native Mhara Starling on a captivating journey through the realm of the fair folk. Together, you will trace the threads of fairy lore from ancient Welsh literature like the Mabinogion to Mhara’s own contemporary experiences. Delve into the depths of Annwfn (the Otherworld), the ethereal home where the fae reside, and meet Gwyn ap Nudd, the legendary king of fairies. Explore the enchanting variety of Welsh magical beings, including lake maidens, spectral lights, goblins, and mermaids. Discover the connection between magical practitioners and the Tylwyth Teg (fair family) and how you can, if you choose, incorporate these liminal entities into your own spiritual practice. More than a collection of stories, this guide to a Celtic fairy tradition offers practical insight and engaging exercises for those who wish to interact directly with the denizens of the Otherworld.

Ceredigion is a land shaped by mythology, where mermaids and magic mix with humans and where ordinary people achieve extraordinary things. This is a captivating collection of traditional and modern stories, including the submerged city of Cantre’r Gwaelod, or the ‘Welsh Atlantis’, how the Devil came to build a bridge over the Rheidol, the elephant that died in Tregaron, and how the Holy Grail came to Nanteos. All the while the tylwyth teg (the Welsh fairies) and changelings run riot through the countryside. Storyteller and illustrator Peter Stevenson takes us on a tour of a county steeped in legend, encountering ghosts, witches and heroes at every turn.

A lone man wanders from swamp to swamp searching for himself, a wolf-girl visits Wales and eats the sheep, a Welsh criminal marries an 'Indian Princess', Lakota men re-enact the Wounded Knee Massacre in Cardiff and, all the while, mountain women practise Appalachian hoodoo, native healing and Welsh witchcraft. These stories are a mixture of true tales, tall tales and folk tales, that tell of the lives of migrants who left Wales and settled in America, of the native and enslaved people who had long been living there, and those curious travellers who returned to find their roots in the old country. They were explorers, miners, dreamers, hobos, tourists, farmers, radicals, showmen, sailors, soldiers, witches, warriors, poets, preachers, prospectors, political dissidents, social reformers, and wayfaring strangers. The Cherokee called them: 'the Moon-Eyed People.'
