A Faerie Treasury, by Jacky Newcomb and Alicen Geddes-Ward

Two of the UK's most respected experts on angels and fairies have collaborated on what is likely to a new bestseller and a firm favourite for any ‘incarnated faeries’ or those interested in learning more about faeries and folklore. Jacky Newcomb is a bestselling author of many angel books, including An Angel Saved My Life. Alicen Geddes-Ward is a Faerie Priestess who writes and lectures extensively on Faeriecraft. Both Jacky and Alicen are regular contributors to national new age and Wiccan magazines.

Jacky and Alicen's paths havecrossed many times before ' A Faerie Treasury' was born and, as Jacky says; Alicen was the missing piece of the puzzle needed to create a Faerie follow-up to her work 'An Angel Treasury'. Their collaboration has resulted in a harmonious and magical book, with both their writing styles complementing each other, a perfect blend ofmodern and traditional. In each chapter each author's contribution is prefixed by their name.

UK Angel lady, Jacky NewcombA Faerie Treasury is a veritable almanac of information on all things Faerie to delight both the enthusiast and newbie. Not knowing that much about the Faerie kingdom myself but feeling very akin to it, I loved the down to earth way you are led through the Faerie world. From stories about famous Faeries and real-life stories of Faerie encounters, through to guided visualisations to actually meet the Faeries yourself, there is something for everyone. As you read this book it becomes more like a companion and visitor guide to the Faerie realms.

I particularly liked the "A-Z of Faerie names" (a delightful alternative for parents-to-be?) and thorough explanations of faerie culture and how fairies fit into our lives. There's also a deliciously 'witchy' feel to this book which is hard to resist with its attractive, mystical cover and treasure trove of information on flowers, trees, oils and crystals etc. to call in the Faeries.

I loved this book as it puts you firmly in touch with your roots and respect for planet Earth – a mission of the faerie realms. There's even a very useful exercise on grounding yourself to help you 'focus once more on earthly matters'.

It is also seems to be full of fascinating facts on every page (did you know fairies take the form of animals to bring messages?) and if this were not enough, it is interspersed with beautiful poetry as well as quotes from the likes of Blake and Shakespeare.

At the end of A Faerie Treasury is an excellent 'Faerie Resources Directory' which generously points the reader in the direction of more sources of information. A Faerie Treasury will be a much welcomed addition to any bookshelf both as an entertaining read and compendium.
