Book excerpt: In Faery Seership the truths we seek can only be found within ourselves, within nature, and within our relationships to nature. At the center of the Faery Tradition lies the Tree of Enchantment: the symbol for these relationships and for the threefold life of humanity. At each level of the tree, there are attending spirit forces that vary from beings of light to beings of shadow, from the ancestors of humanity to the architects of form and nature, from the destiny of our planet to the creation forces of the universe. The tree’s roots grow through the lower world, where all life originates and the dead travel, its trunk and lower branches reach out across the middle world, where elemental forces and the four directions guide us, and its highest branches reach the into the upper world and the Star realm. Weaving together folk tradition and extensive academic research, Orion Foxwood has created an accessible, beautifully written pathway into the Old Religion of Faery Seership. Based on Appalachian traditions, Wiccan studies, Celtic oral traditions, and the Craft from Western and Northern Europe, The Tree of Enchantment offers the student of Faery Tradition both introductory and advanced visionary practices and authentic tools to learn to navigate the three realms of humanity. With diligence and an open heart, the reader will learn to cross The River of Blood, pass through The Gate of Awakening, and over The River of Stars.

Book Synopsis The Work of Enchantment by : Matthew Del Nevo

Download or read book The Work of Enchantment written by Matthew Del Nevo. This book was released on 2017-09-08. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Work of Enchantment suggests that it is a lack of "enchantment" in rich, developed countries that causes soul-starved Westerners to experience mental (and sometimes physical) illness. Del Nevo argues that this "enchantment" is most often experienced in childhood, but can also be found in adulthood, particularly through art. However, adults must cultivate within themselves the ability to appreciate art by reading, listening, and gazing-activities often misconceived in advanced industrial societies. Del Nevo describes the framework of enchantment and its philosophical and historical roots. He then concentrates on the work of enchantment within literature, considering what enchantment might entail taking the works of Proust, Rilke, and Goethe as examples. Del Nevo shows how a sense of enchantment forms within and between art works, using his literary examples, as well as between the work and the audience. The reader will learn along the way that enchantment may be found in the power of words, as an expression of the desire of the soul, a compliment of melancholy, and in art that points to something beyond itself. Enchantment may be found in many places, ranging from philosophy, religion, and psychology to sociology and culture, but here Del Nevo focuses on literature. His audience is people who are searching for something beyond money or glamour-perhaps the meaning of art and culture. His focus on literary masterpieces such as the Duino Elegies, Remembrance of Things Past, Wilhelm Meister's Journeyman Years, and others will make it of interest to those in cultural studies. Well written and engaging, and accessible to non-specialist readers, this unusual work in philosophy and aesthetics is free of jargon and complicated verbiage. Inspiring and enlivening, it is, in the author's words, "a stirring call to idleness."

Book excerpt: "Ellie's Enchantment: A Journey Through the Forest of Whimsy" authored by Ryan Keeler, published on April 7, 2024, is a captivating children's tale that explores the magical adventures of Ellie, a young girl with a vivid imagination and an open heart. Set against the backdrop of the Enchanted Forest of Whimsy, the story begins with Ellie discovering a shimmering envelope in her grandmother's attic, an invitation that leads her to a hidden, mystical forest. As Ellie traverses this magical realm, she meets an array of whimsical creatures, from talking animals to singing flowers, each introducing her to the wonders and secrets of the forest. Guided by Finn, a wise fox with a monocle, Ellie visits extraordinary places within the forest, like the River of Reflections, which reveals the beauty of one's soul, and the Meadow of Mirrors, where mirrors reflect one's inner strengths rather than physical appearance. The narrative beautifully interweaves elements of fantasy with heartfelt lessons on self-discovery, the value of kindness, and the power of positive belief. Throughout her journey, Ellie learns that the true magic of the forest isn't just in the enchanting experiences or the mystical creatures she meets but in the growth and insight she gains about herself and the world around her. The forest teaches her that magic is real and powerful, especially the magic that resides within one's own heart and imagination. As the story culminates, Ellie returns to her world transformed, carrying with her the profound lessons and the enchanted essence of the Forest of Whimsy. She learns to see her daily life through a lens of wonder and carries the seeds of joy and gratitude back into her community, spreading the magic further. "Ellie's Enchantment" is not only a tale of adventure and fantasy but also a profound reminder of the transformative power of kindness, courage, and belief in oneself. It's a heartwarming read that encourages children and adults alike to find and cherish the magic in everyday life.
