Learn to interact with fairies and tap into their powerful magic with the help of this accessible guide. Many people today regard stories of fairies to be nothing more than the stuff of fantasy, folklore, and superstition. But for those who experience these otherworldly beings, fairies are a very real part of our existence. Whimsical and lyrical, this book explores what and who fairies may be. It’s sure to intrigue anyone who wants to acquaint themselves with the “wee folk.” Elaine Clayton takes a look at how we distinguish fairies from angels, how fairies came about, visions and dreaming of fairies, looking for fairy faces in rocks and nature, the co-existence of animals and fairies, and more.

The renowned British author of the famous Sherlock Holmes series, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, apart from his brilliant fiction works, is known for his belief in spritual and supernatural concepts. Once, when he was convinced by a set of photographs that seemingly captured two young girls playing with a group of tiny, translucent fairies. To demonstrate his unshakable belief in the spirit world he published 'The Coming of the Fairies' in 1922. It recounts the story of the photos, their supposed provenance, and the startling implications of their existence.

This book is about a guy named Jack that was touched by the hand of God, given powers of the Greek Gods to save the World from being over thrown by the original Titians. He found Merlin and gave him the white power of the Gods accidently; Merlin has always been a Red Guardian taking care of the red fairy. In this book the mother of the Gods Gaia an angel took human form and had children with an angel Pontus who also took human form. Now Zeus and Poseidon are working with him. He went down to purgatory to help get Hades, back in power so Hades owes him. Odin and the Norse Gods try to kill him, the Gods of Olympus are not on their side either. There are some twists and turns, they take down Typhon, and Prometheus, and Skadi. Venus and Calypso and The Lady of the Lake are released. The Blue fairies are stopped from taking over the world, at Stonehedge. (Those are the bad ones.) They find Bobba-Yaga, and bring her out of Russia, with her apprentice. It is a different way to look at the Gods of old. Enjoy.
