At a time when most interest in faery magic is at the level of trite entertainment or escapist fantasy, there are very few people working seriously to demonstrate that communion with the faery races is a valid spiritual path. Orion Foxwood is one of those few. I am aware of Orion's struggle and dedication in bringing this book through to the reader … spiritual quests are always hard, but in the end are always worth the effort.
Basing his thesis on aspects of folkloric tradition, pioneering work by earlier authors and teachers (including my own), Orion develops new concepts and methods which are of practical value to the serious and dedicated student. The most significant of these are the glyphs or vision keys, which are unique to Orion's work and have no precedent in earlier sources. Thus they are a new development enabling the student to have a means of working with faery spiritual contacts and associated initiatory subtle energies. Such new developments are rare indeed, and are to be prized.
If you are looking for yet another “dictionary of faeries” or a rehashed collection of folklore, or some bundle of romantic whimsy, then this book is not for you. But if you are looking for the means to connect and then relate to the inhabitants of the spiritual realm of faery, and thus to transform your life, you will find ample resources here.
