First sentence: Celtic healing traditions, wherever we find them, are intimately bound up with invisible and otherwordly powers and most especially with the visible beings known as the faery folk.
Description: In the old Celtic Traditions, and even in more recent, historic times, interaction between humans and spirit beings was not an unusual occurrence. 

"Faery Healing: The Lore and the Legacy" is an informed and comprehensive book about the traditions of faery healing among the Celtic peoples of the British Isles, as evidenced in the faery lore and folk healing customs. The focus is specifically on beliefs, traditions and practices both mystical and magical as they relate to faery healing, with an emphasis on the development and use of new versions of these traditions for our era. Demonstrating its value in this day and age, and offering both visionary and practical techniques and procedures to move into that future, "Faery Healing: The Lore and the Legacy" guides us into a more harmonious relationship with our "Kin," the faery folk.
