  • Welsh Fairies
    John Kruse
    This is not a book on folklore; its purpose is not to explain why individuals once thought such surprising and curious things. Welsh people in the past encountered beings that they knew to be the tylwyth teg; this book shows those individuals the respect they deserve and takes their accounts seriously. They knew that the faeries existed and they adapted their lives to cope with...

  • Faery Mysteries
    John Kruse
    This book is concerned with the boundaries of faery. We will investigate the very limits of our understanding- and our definitions- of the faery folk. As we shall see, repeatedly- there are aspects of faery existence that still baffle our attempts to interpret and comprehend them, because they fail to adhere to ideas of a fixed nature and predictable behaviours that are encoura...

  • Love, Dance and Ecstasy
    John and Kruse
    Dionysos is the Greek god of the grape-harvest and winemaking, of the growth and fertility of vegetation - especially orchards and vineyards - and, lastly, of insanity, ritual madness, religious ecstasy, festivity and theatre. Because of his links to plant growth, he also became associated with death, resurrection and regeneration. He was also known as Bákkhos to the Greeks, a ...

  • Faeries and The Natural World
    John Kruse / TBD
    It is an article of faith central to fairy belief today that they are beings intimately connected with nature- they are the elemental spirits, even, of water, air and vegetation. In one form or another this view has long existed. ...

  • The Darker Side of Faery
    John Kruse
    There is a distinct tendency today to assume that faery kind are friendly and helpful towards us humans. The evidence of over one thousand years experience, preserved in British folk tradition, tells a very different story. British faeries are (like humans) selfish, greedy, violent and cruel. What makes things worse, of course, is the fact that they have magical powers too. ...

  • Aphrodite Goddess of Modern Love
    John and Kruse
    The goddess of love, Aphrodite - or Venus, or Astarte - she has had many names. She is the goddess of life, fertility and renewal, but she is also the patroness of carnal desire: 'a thousand honey secrets thou shalt know' is her promise to the boy Adonis in Shakespeare’s poem about the pair. Incredibly, perhaps, he resists this offer- but most of us do not. The enduring role of...

  • The Faery Lifecycle
    John Kruse
     This book is founded squarely upon an acceptance that faeries have a tangible physical reality and that we can describe them medically and biologically, in just the same manner as may be done for any other living being. It is, therefore, to some degree a natural history of faery kind, but it is limited to an examination of their bodies. A text that looks at the actual physical...

  • How Things Work in Faery
    John Kruse
    This book pulls together everything we know about how things work in Faery. The information is scattered across many narratives, but once it is assembled, we discover we have a detailed picture of their politics and economy. Much of this is entirely independent of human affairs. References from old books and oral traditions as well as the authors personal knowledge combine to ...

  • British Pixies
    John Kruse
    The pixies are the faery folk of the South West of England, by which I mean Cornwall, Devon and the western part of Somerset (essentially Exmoor, the Quantocks and the Blackdown Hills). Beyond this area, moving into northern and eastern Somerset and into Dorset, it is far more common to speak of fairies.  Pixies came to wider attention through the work of a handful of authors. ...

  • The Great God Pan
    John Kruse
    The revived cult of Pan recognizes him as the god of fields, groves and wooded glens. This connects him to fertility and the season of spring, with his entourage of fauns and satyrs pursuing and copulating with woodland nymphs.The word panic also ultimately derives from the god’s name. He is the eponymous Piper at the Gates of Dawn in The Wind in the Willows. In the late 19th c...
