Fiery Teachings of Orion Foxwood

The Faery Teachings by Orion Foxwood
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

There are two worlds meshed into one. Ours is the physical world while the faeries live in the underworld. Humans and fae used to dwell side by side but thanks to human excess the fae have retreated from our world and are rather loath to work with us. To repair the land we must start speaking with the denizens of the spiritual world.
The author of this work is a renowned faery seer Orion Foxwood. Have learned the art of conjure from his youth in West Virginia, near the Appalachian Mountains. His family were old conjure people and he himself was born with the caul. His tradition is culled from Native American, African and European sources that found their way to the south and mingled into a tradition.

The book itself has eight exercises and the rest is basically explanation of the paradigm. This spiritual tradition is not a religion or anything like Ceremonial Magic. Rather it is a down to earth spirituality that connects you to the faery forces that regulate our planet. There are no gods and goddesses per se in this.
Faeries exist in the underworld, which by the way is where the dead people go, but for the most part not the same place. We exist in the physical world while up above is the starry world. There are three parts to the soul’s anatomy or there are three souls. The first part is our “Dream walker” this is the part of our soul that walks in the underworld or the fae word. Our surface walker is us which we sue to guide ourselves in the physical world. The third part is the star walker and that is the part of us that walks about in the astral realms.

While there are no deities per se there are a few beings that you want to consider. The first being is the utterer, she spoke the world into being. Next is the dreamer, figurative he dwell in a tower at the center of the earth and it is from his dreams that we all spring. The next being is the “Star Father” who is he masculine being who is a giver of light. The Divine ancestor is the primordial ancestor of mankind. The weaver is an androgynous being who weaves the fibers of life, death and fate.

When one decide to embark upon the faery path or if one is called to it there are always trails, ordeal and prohibitions that must be adhered to. Ordeals are usually tests, challenges or difficulties that are designed to temp and temper the seeker. When one comes into a relationship with their faery guardian or partner they will be given prohibition or things they must do or those that they are not allowed to do. When the seeker makes that oath they must follow it or consequences must surely follow. The prohibitions are designed to make the seeker more spiritual fit to do spiritual work. Working with the fae ones soul has to separate from the body and the soul and body can and do exist separately.
