81. Robin Hood: The Green Dancers trait, since the discharging of elfshot , flint-tipped arrows, at both human andbeast, is among the most prominent features of it in the faery tradition. http://www.druidry.org/obod/theorder/archive/jm-robin.html

The Green Dancers from Robin Hood, by John Matthews "All in a woodman's jacket he was clad Of Lincoln greene, belaye'd with silver lace; And ion his head an hood with aglets sprad, And by his side his hunter's horne he hanging had." (Canto VI. ii. 5. ) The importance given to the episode in the Gest where the Sheriff, having been captured, is made to put on the dress of an outlaw, is evidence that the colour was regarded as important even then. Certainly all the references to the clothing bought for those taking the role of Robin Hood in the May-Day Games, or in the Robin Hood plays of the 16th to 18th centuries refer to this colour. Until recent times 'to wear the green' was another way of saying that one followed the old religion of this land. Another aspect of all this is the association between Robin Hood and fairs and between Faery folk and fairs. According to the Elizabethan writer Henry Fuller, wherever Robin went 'he carried a fair along with him, chapmen crowding to buy his stolen goods', and there are frequent references to fairs in the ballads. In Ireland, of course, there was the Puck Fair, held at Killorglin in County Kerry every August, where there was a general disposition towards wild behaviour and unbridled licence. Puck, in this instance, comes from the Gaelic poc meaning a he-goat. (Though, as we shall see, there is reason to connect Puck with Robin Hood.) Every year a goat is chosen, decorated, and paraded through the town to the accompaniment of music and song. It is regarded as the King of the Fair, and is ceremonially crowned and placed on a platform, where it remains through out the duration of the fair. Despite the derivation of the name, there are echoes of Puckish goings on at the fair, with possible factional combats of the kind already described in the previous chapter, and there are a number of stories about people unlawfully trying to steal the goat and finding that their hands were mysteriously stuck to its shaggy coat.

Dr. Evans-Wentz is best known as the author-translator of "The Tibetan Book of the Dead", but his first love was this book. Anecdotal accounts of local residents who have had real encounters with the "good neighbors."~Salome by R. J. Stewart (Preface), Miranda Gray (Illustrator) Fairies : Real Encounters With Little People by Janet Bord "My book concentrates on reports of sightings of fairies, not the fairy-tales which abound in folklore. The first-hand reports often describe fairies looking very different from the tiny winged creatures most people think of as fairies. In fact they are often 3 feet tall! I've also written about Fairyland or The Otherworld in my book, and possible links with UFOs and aliens."~Bord The Celtic Twilight : Myth, Fantasy and Folklore

Conway, 1990 The Great Encyclopedia of Faeries ~ Pierre Dubois, et al , 2000 Book Description They are known as the Little People, the Beautiful Maidens, the Godmothers, the Blessed, the Ageless Ones...for it is dangerous to say the name "faeries" without good reason. Ruling over earth, air, fire, and water, they protect forests, animals, and children, and in their hands lie the dreamy souls of all creatures. The faeries rose from the mist long, long ago, in the time of the Golden Age well before the creation of gods and men. In their magical fancy they created the singing grasses and the reflection of springs, the music of legends and the far side of the mirror. From the Valkyries of Valhalla to the Babouchka of Russia, Banshees, Dryads, Bogey Beasts, Sirens, and their ilk populate the imaginations and the forests of every culture.

For the book series Wicca see Sweep and Circle Of Three Wicca is a Neopagan religion probably originally founded by the British civil servant Gerald Gardner in the 1930s. Gardner claimed that the religion was a survival of matriarchal religions of pre-historic Europe, taught to him by a woman named Dorothy Clutterbuck. Many believe he invented it himself, drawing on such sources as Aradia: Gospel of the Witches by Charles G. Leland, Freemasonry and ceremonial magic; and while Clutterbuck certainly existed, Ronald Hutton concludes that she is unlikely to have been involved in Gardner's Craft activities.

88. Faery Wedding Traditions There is also a tradition throughout the faery tribes whereby the bride and groomto-beare referred to as the Queen and King of the Sprites, or of the Gnomes http://www.faeryteachings.com/wedding.html

FAERY WEDDING TRADITIONS If possible, have the wedding outdoors among Mother Earth’s green children. To the degree possible, allow animal companions to attend. Invite the Faery Folk who serve the Mother and Father, and, though you may not see them, they will be there. Keep in mind that since Faer Folk do travel, your wedding might even include Faer Folk visitors from other lands. As for food, we are vegetarians, but we realize this is not always possible in the Human world, so prepare your wedding table in whatever way you envision it. We suggest you include cream, breads, cheese products, pastries and other things which are sweet and pleasing to the eye and tongue. Music to attract the Faer Folk might include wind instruments and Celtic music. If you have musicians, please consider having them play some Celtic reels. Since Faer Folk dwell all over the world, you may instead prefer the music of local musicians, whose instruments and songs are more representative of your ancestry. Mother and Father’s blessing upon your wedding. May you and your beloved have many long years together, and may your love sustain you throughout your life upon the physical Earth and afterwards.

by Terri Windling "Dream Harp" There once was a king in the east country who courted a lady in the west. They wed, and they were happy together until one day the queen went out walking and fell asleep beneath a tree. When she woke, she was wild-eyed and full of grief. The King of Faery had come to her, riding on his milk-white steed, and had told her to bid goodbye to her lands. The next day he'd come back to claim her, whether she wanted him or no. The next day the queen stood waiting with one thousand of her husband's finest knights standing guard. But she was spirited away right from their midst, and no one could say where she had gone. After this, the king went mad with loneliness and sorrow. He put his lands in the care of his steward and went into the woods alone, barefoot, with nothing but his clothes and his harp upon his back. He lived on roots and berries, as wild as any beast of the wood. Music was his only solace, and even the birds and animals would stop to listen to him play. One day he saw some ladies who were hawking in the woodlands and among was his own dear wife. When the ladies went away again, he hid himself and followed them; and at last they came to a great castle, fairer than any he'd ever seen. He knocked at the gate, and told the porter that he was a minstrel come to play for the lord. He went into the great hall, and came before the throne.

What is 3rd Road's Mystic Rose Path? A Personal Statement ... Class Schedules THE 3RD ROAD tradition is a living branch of ancient Faerie shamanism also called Wicca, Goddess Spirituality, Faerie Tradition, or Celtic shamanism. It develops one's spiritual, psychic, and worldly potential, while honoring each person's inextricable weaving with society, nature and cosmos. This is an ecstatic path pursued via a supervised and disciplined approach to: psychic training; intense personal growth (which includes purification of the inner blocks that keep one from fulfillment and service); an experience of the love of the Goddess and God in daily life; and a practical application of shamanism to life's joys and challenges. The 3rd Road is an initiatory path. The 3rd Road has two distinct branches: Mystic Rose and Stellar Rose . Each stands on its own as a complete training with its own unique initiation. Some students choose to gain the benefits of both trainings. Although both trainings are initiatory, initiation is not guaranteed upon completion of the classes. However, certification of completion is given.

Dial up $14.95 or NetZero Internet Service $9.95 My Take on the Faerie Faith By Robert S. Bitting HP When I was a small child, I used to take long walks on the beach. To get to the beach area (only a block from my house) I had to cross by a large wooded section. These woods were deep green, with lots of dark shadows, sunlight couldn't pass through easily. It was here that I first made contact with the Faerie. One day on my way to the beach, I saw a small man, about 18" high, dressed all in green with a beard and what I thought was a pipe in his mouth. I wasn't particularily afraid of him, but I watched him for a while, and then he dissappeared. I later found out that this apparition was called, by the Local Indians, a Nan-i push, which meant "little man of the trees" . The seem to take a particular tree or even a grove of trees and protect them. I never saw that little man again, but I've seen his cousins all over the place since then! My Great Aunt Emma, had a similar type of being in her house. she called him her "little man". He would do all sorts of errends for her, even suprising my mother once by providing her with an ashtray, and floating it actross the room to her. This spirit, I later found out was called a brownie, and seemed to be attached to the family for generations.

Back to About Us Reclaiming Tradition Witchcraft The Reclaiming Tradition of contemporary American Witchcraft arose from a working collective in the San Francisco Bay Area of California. This class was so enthusiastically received by the women who took it that they pleaded for more. Starhawk and Diane enlisted the help of two other members of Coven Raving, to teach a second series of Elements to more women who had expressed interest, and to create a more advanced class called "The Iron Pentacle." The Iron Pentacle is based upon a Faery Witchcraft concept. The class' "main focus was trance work and the discovery of the healing powers of the human body through meditations on the five-pointed star." The points were sex, self, passion, pride and power. This construct is one of the distinguishing features of Reclaiming Craft because it is considered part of the basic approach to magic, although other lines of Faery also work with it. The same is true for its obverse, the Pentacle of Pearl, the points of which are love, law, wisdom, knowledge and power. Both pentacles have correspondences with the head, hands and feet, going round and transversing the human body touching the points of a five-pointed star. Again, success spawned a further class called "The Rites of Passage." "This third class ended with the ‘students’ initiating themselves, and starting their own coven, the ‘Holy Terrors,’"
