Description
In
Faery Seership the truths we seek can only be found within ourselves,
within nature, and within our relationships to nature. At the center of
the Faery Tradition lies the Tree of Enchantment: the symbol for these
relationships and for the threefold life of humanity. At each level of
the tree, there are attending spirit forces that vary from beings of
light to beings of shadow, from the ancestors of humanity to the
architects of form and nature, from the destiny of our planet to the
creation forces of the universe. The tree's roots grow through the
lower world, where all life originates and the dead travel, its trunk
and lower branches reach out across the middle world, where elemental
forces and the four directions guide us, and its highest branches reach
the into the upper world and the Star realm.
Weaving together folk tradition and extensive academic research, Orion
Foxwood has created an accessible, beautifully written pathway into the
Old Religion of Faery Seership. Based on Appalachian traditions, Wiccan
studies, Celtic oral traditions, and the Craft from Western and
Northern Europe, The Tree of Enchantment
offers the student of Faery Tradition both introductory and advanced
visionary practices and authentic tools to learn to navigate the three
realms of humanity. With diligence and an open heart, the reader will
learn to cross The River of Blood, pass through The Gate of Awakening,
and over The River of Stars.
