"...a superb book, both inspired and delightful, AND meticulously researched!" ~Lady Olivia Robertson This is, quite simply, one of the best books on faery tradition I have ever read. Margie McArthur has skilfully woven many threads together to create a straightforward narrative that cannot fail to both inform and delight anyone who has an interest in the traditional healing practices of our Celtic ancestors. Not satisfied to simply rehash the same old material, McArthur has produced a comprehensive book, containing a unique and intelligent point of view. I predict Faery Healing: The Lore and the Legacy is going to become a classic reference in this field of study, and will be treasured by many, now and in years to come. ~Tira Brandon Evans
This book is packed with useful and fascinating lore about faeries and faery healing, but the thing I like best about it is the way it gently leads you into discovering faery information for yourself. Personal experience is the most useful experience of all, specific and individual faery treatment is better than book lore, and information from the true source is the most relevant. The paths Margie shows us to the Otherworld are paved with the priceless gems of faery healing, faery magic, and faery fun. She takes us by the hand and guides us there and back safely and joyfully. You'll love the journey! ~Jessica Macbeth
Margie McArthur has woven together a bright tapestry of wisdom as ancient as the northern hills, yet sparkling fresh in its relevance to our lives today. The first half of the book is a veritable treasury of faery lore from the Celtic lands, including historical accounts of faery healers and a fascinating compendium of magical plants, trees and stones. The second half is a practical manual for contacting the faeries today, full of skillfully-wrought exercises and meditations. Margie speaks with an authentic voice that rings with the truth of lived experience, and she writes in a lucid style that seeks ever to clarify, rather than speak in veiled hints, as has often been the case in works on this subject. At a time when we need more than ever to seek the lost connection with our invisible allies for healing ourselves and our planet, this book serves as an inspiring and invaluable resource. ~Mara Freeman
