Description
Step carefully - the old ways still hold power...
The Faery Rules revives long-forgotten customs for navigating the hidden realm of the Fae. This essential guide unveils ancient protections, age-old etiquette, and long-silenced folklore to help readers understand, respect, and avoid the mischief and dangers of the faery world.
Presented as both a reference and a practical manual, this unique volume explores faery folklore from multiple angles. Whether you're a scholar of myth, a lover of cosy fantasy, or someone who believes the veil is thin, this handbook offers an enthralling, grounded path to faery knowledge. Every chapter features rules and rituals - from warding off changelings to rewarding brownies - rooted in authentic tradition and delivered with care and clarity.
The Faery Rules is the first book to gather the folklore rules for living alongside the fae in one place, offering practical guidance that meets folkloric storytelling across themed, easy-to-follow chapters. It is a perfect companion to romantasy trends and cosy fantasy fandoms.
Brimming with historical examples and simple rules to implement - better safe than sorry, after all! A beautiful, informative hardback ideal for gifting or collecting.
Tread respectfully in the realm of the Fae - and let this book be your guide.
