The Faerie and Fey Lore Pages

Last updated April 2nd, 1998

Another area of interest of mine is that of Faeries and the lore surrounding these creatures of legend and fantasy. While many different mythologies have lore and legends of the Fey Folk and all, there are some fascinating aspects of faerie lore and mythology that makes them almost irresistale to me. This page reflects some of my tastes in the various aspects of faerie lore and mythology out there, and there are some very interesting pages that readers of this page might wish to take a look at and pursue. One of the most fascinating things in the world to me is the twin concepts of Mythology and Folklore. I am constantly amazed at the how the different mythologies and folklores of the world have so much in common, and yet differ from one another in so many ways. As you may have gathered, I am a huge fan of mythology in its many different forms and cultural styles. This page reflects some of my tastes in the various mythologies out there, and there are some very interesting pages that readers of this page might wish to look at and pursue.

Celtic Lore and Faeries

Lisala, a self-described "Digital Medievalist," has put together one of the very best Celtic sites to be found anywhere on the internet and the World Wide Web.

Celtic Symbol There are a wealth of Celtic Resources on the World Wide Web, and this is one of the very best. You might also like to take a look at this Celtic Page, or this excellent Celtic site. One should also not miss The Book of Kells which offers some terrific insights into the mythology, and there is the A to Z of Mythic Ireland that offers another view of things. Another good resource is the Irish Mythology page. And if you need more than that, there's always the Every Celtic Thing page.

Another page that offers some insights into the fey folk is the page of Irish folklore. You can also experience the creative magnificence of the Celtic spirit through Irish Drama, Literature, Folklore and Mythology. Another good site to visit for this sort of thing is the Celtic Heritage Trust. There is also a page on the folklore and myth of the Orkney Islands, just north of Scotland. And there are some of my favourite Scottish stories and tales that involve the Selkie Folk.

Visions of Albion offers a Bard's-eye view of Britain, including a druidical magical mystery tour through Logres, Alba, Cymru and the Isle of Women in poetry and images.

Faeries and Fey Lore

If you want to learn more about the Fair Folk, you might want tot star at the Faerie Bibliography, the Sanctuary of the Fey, the Faerie Encyclopedia, the Faerie Lore and Literature page, or this set of fey links.

One of the best sites that I've found out there is this site that deals with Faeries and Magic. You can also enter this Gateway to Faerie to explore the Other World. In addition, you can visit the fey land of Tir Nan Og. I'm also rather fond of this page that deals with Sacred Woods and the Lore of Trees.

There is also Faerie Lands Forlorn, a (relatively new) website devoted to fairy tales and fairy lore in the literary and visual arts, featuring complete illustrated fairytales, illustrated fairy-theme ballads and poetry and free and shareware fairy fonts and clip-art.
