Fascinated by the idea of the Celtic Otherworld? Wild Magic by Danu Forest explores the Celtic faerie faith and how modern pagans can involve it in their personal practice. With a ton of lore and discussions of the green kin, this book also serves as a great look as a form of study for comparative religion. I personally am not a pagan, but found Wild Magic fascinating for its explorations of faerie lore, communications for protection, and the way that modern pagan practices can be woven together with older traditions. Danu Forest’s work discusses ley lines, faery roads, herbal recipes for different ailments and other county traditions from Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
Wild Magic is definitely geared more to one with a solitary pagan practice, meaning you are not a member of a coven but rather focused on your relationships with the Otherworld all by yourself. While Forest does include directions for scrying and communicating with the fae, the book also highlights that this is a legitimate belief structure and not a journey to be taken lightly. If you are purchasing this book for a solitary practice, I recommend getting the actual tangible book, versus the digital copy for easier book marking.
Wild Magic is available now from Llewellyn Press.
