AFaeryTale

A Faery Tale. By Ron Cordes. 2007. Millenial Mind Publishing, Salt Lake City. 231 pages.
I just finished reading this new book which someone recommended to me. I in turn will recommend it. This is a very personal book. It doesn't draw on the information of other books or authors. It is all about the author's personal journey with the faeries. As a long-time student of fairy/faery the book fits into my current understandings and adds some new information. Ron's faery friends are what I term nature fairies. Fairies who work with nature. They include very small beings as well as larger. Ron gives the littlest ones the name of plimtens. His main faery friends are several inches in height (but very intelligent). The largest he mentions are what he terms elves at 12 inches in height. Ron's experiences have many correlations with Daphne Charters' works. For instance that there are nature fairies and house fairies. Ron gives his personal life history in the first part of the book. Most of the book is devoted to his gradually deepening relationship with faeries. At the start he becomes aware of shadowy figures and orbs (which he terms bubbles). Gradually he is able to see more and more and after awhile able to establish communication. At first objects swing side-to-side or front-to-back for yes no answers. Eventually he is able to achieve telepathic communication which becomes quite good by the end of the book. Not unsurprisingly, the fairies exhort humans to stop their war on nature and start to work with them to protect and repair the earth instead of destroy. In fact they say that there is little time to mend our ways or humans will be extinct. They also say that our destruction is playing havoc in the fairy realms as well. Perhaps the message that most stood out for me in this book is the mention by Ron's fairy friends that some fairies are wanting to spend time within human bodies to experience things through our eyes and improve fairy-human relations. This is accomplished best with conscious agreement and participation by the human. Fairies are looking for willing humans to do this work. Are you one of them? If you are interested you should read this book to see how it works for Ron Cordes. For people who are well informed about fairies then the first part of the book may be a slow read. The books particular value lies in that it details how a beginner to the fairy realm can cultivate and gradually deepen a relationship. Ron Cordes experience is a nice addition to our fairy knowledge. Thanks, Ron & Karen Book Review Michael Pilarski "Ron, I really enjoyed reading your book.
