NOW CLOSED Increasingly over the past 20 years, pagan spirituality and practice has embraced building relationships with the other-than-human beings called the Faery people. But who exactly are the Fey? And what is our role and relationship to them? Although there is still much debate in pagan circles about the Fey (are they dangerous, capricious, or simply misunderstood), nevertheless benevolent relationships have been and continue to be built with the folk. Traditionally, this was understood as the Faery Faith—rituals, practices, and beliefs centered around our co-creative relationship with these otherworldly cousins. In this experiential class, Dr. Megan Rose will share her years of research as a practitioner-scholar of the Faery Faith. By demythologizing some of the common misconceptions around who these beings are, we will ground Faery contact within a solid psycho-spiritual framework. We will address some of the transcultural folkloric Faery traditions, discuss their relevance to contemporary practice, and clarify the ways in which we might work with the Fey in a safe and sane way. Dr. Rose will also share specific practices from her Faery Seership lineage, which is rooted in the folk-traditions of Scotland and Southern Appalachia.
