In "The Fairy-Faith in Celtic Countries," W. Y. Evans-Wentz embarks on an exhaustive ethnographic exploration of fairy beliefs among the Celtic peoples of Britain and Ireland. Written in a scholarly yet accessible style, the book seamlessly weaves together qualitative interviews, folklore narratives, and historical contexts, providing a comprehensive understanding of the fairy phenomenon as it exists in the cultural consciousness of these communities. Evans-Wentz meticulously analyzes various accounts of fairy encounters, rituals, and the societal significance attributed to these supernatural beings, placing particular emphasis on the intersection of tradition and belief during the early 20th century—a period marked by a resurgence of interest in folklore and mythology. W. Y. Evans-Wentz, a prominent figure in the fields of anthropological and religious studies, was deeply influenced by his encounters with Celtic cultures and their spiritual practices. His comprehensive background in psychology and comparative religion, accompanied by his fascination with the mystical, propelled him to document these elusive traditions before they faded into obscurity as modernization took hold. His unique perspective bridges scholarly research with an empathetic understanding of the lived experiences of the people he studied, making his work both informative and heartfelt. For readers with a penchant for folklore, anthropology, and religious studies, Evans-Wentz's "The Fairy-Faith in Celtic Countries" offers a profound glimpse into the magical realms of Celtic spirituality. This work is not merely an academic inquiry but an invitation to explore the enchanting tapestry of belief that has shaped the lives and imaginations of generations. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the interconnectivity of myth, culture, and faith.

The authorities told folk what they ought to believe, but what did they really believe? Throughout Scottish history, people have believed in fairies. They were a part of everyday life, as real as the sunrise, and as incontrovertible as the existence of God. While fairy belief was only a fragment of a much larger complex, the implications of studying this belief tradition are potentially vast, revealing some understanding of the worldview of the people of past centuries. This book, the first modern study of the subject, examines the history and nature of fairy belief, the major themes and motifs, the demonising attack upon the tradition, and the attempted reinstatement of the reality of fairies at the end of the seventeenth century, as well as their place in ballads and in Scottish literature.
