Fae & Fairies - A Mythic Field Guide

Not all fairies have wingsSome wear moss for cloaks.Some will bless you.Some will curse you.In this episode, we step beyond the glitter and into the older, stranger world of the fae. From the light and shadow of the Seelie and Unseelie Courts to the hidden lines of fairy roads, we’ll walk through mushroom rings that may never let you go, meet their cousins in Iceland, Japan, and Slavic rivers, and listen for the hoofbeats that echo in folklore and in the dark.We’ll explore names not meant to be spoken, the dangerous art of fae bargains, royal courts lit by foxfire, and tales of those who met the Good Neighbours - and returned changed.If you step through, remember the rules. Some doors, once opened, do not close behind you.Hex & Muse is recorded on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. I pay my deepest respects to their Elders past and present - and to all First Nations people, whose stories and spirits continue to shape this land.Follow along for more folklore, magic, and mythic musings:Instagram: @hexandmuse Website: www.hexandmuse.comHex & Muse is a spellbound journal of folklore, magic, art, and the sacred feminine - told through cinematic storytelling and whispered histories.From my altar to yours… thank you for listening.
