The Confessions of Fiona: Mythology and Folklore of the Faeries
In 1893 the Scottish writer and mystic William Sharp (1855 – 1905) started to write under the name Fiona McLeod. The name Fiona did not exist before then, at least, not in our world. For the following twelve years, Fiona wrote profusely of her own tradition, i.e., the mythology and deities that the Faeries recognize. None of these myths, legends, gods or goddesses were known to humans prior to Fiona's revelations.
Steve Blamires presents those concepts in his new book, The Confessions of Fiona. He has studied this esoteric Faery Tradition for thirty years and presents the whole unique ritual system, previously unknown myths, legends, gods and goddesses, and offers them in depth to the modern researcher of this fascinating non-human magical body of work. Woven into the legends that the Faeries share with each other, is a whole ritual magical tradition that can be emulated by humans with a basic knowledge of the Western Magical Tradition, the Four Festivals, the Four Magical Tools, and what has come to be known as Pathworking. But they are all significantly different from our human perspective. Faeries are large, shockingly powerful, and at times cruel and dangerous. He shows how and when these mighty beings of ancient times were literally shrunken to become the Tinkerbells of popular imagery. Because of his important change of perspective, Steve includes in this book an in-depth look at the faery god called Dalua – a truly dark, dangerous god, but a necessary one.
By way of helping readers access more of Fiona McLeod's writings and teachings, Steve has included an appendix detailing all her important works along with scores of relevant direct quotations throughout the book.
