Details from “How To See Faeries” by Brian Froud and John Matthews

“It is no accident that we approach the way we see faeries through a book of interwoven words and images. This is how I began, with books of fairy tales that opened up a doorway to strange enchantments and visual transformations. Here were clues, I discovered, to the hidden, deeper reality- that we share our world with normally visible beings, the Faerie Folk who subtly interact with and influence our every day life”

As well as the hearth and in the heart of our homes, faeries exist on the boundaries, in the borderlands, at the edge, about the thresholds. Pause then, for we have reached such a place of twilight. We feel lost. But a light glimmers in the dark and we can see our way.

And here is Hestia, a Faerie Queen of great importance. She holds the mask of living flame, bright with the fervent fire that burns away deceptive illusion, piercing into the pure, undisguised heart of all she encounters.

At the edge of our dreams the faeries stand and wait in reflective vigil. They have waited so long, and yet so few of us have willingly crossed over their threshold. Why do they seem so distant, often receding in the mists when, in fact, far away is actually very close in faerie? 

They are attentive shadows at our shoulders; right beside us, even now.
