Wholesale Confessions of Fiona: Mythology & Folklore of the Faeries

In 1893, the Scottish writer and mystic William Sharp (1855–1905) began writing under the name Fiona McLeod. The name Fiona did not exist before then, at least not in our world. For the following 12 years, Fiona wrote profusely of her own tradition; that is, the mythology and deities that the faeries recognize. None of these myths, legends, gods, or goddesses were known to humans prior. Steve Blamires presents those concepts here. He presents a unique ritual system; unknown myths, legends, and gods/goddesses, offering insight into this fascinating nonhuman magical body of work. Woven into the legends that the faeries share is a whole magical tradition that humans can emulate with a basic knowledge of the Western magical tradition, the four festivals, the four magical tools, and pathworking. Faeries are large, shockingly powerful, and, at times, cruel and dangerous. Steve shows how and when these mighty beings were literally shrunken to become the Tinkerbells of popular imagery.
