Build Relationships with Faeries and Connect with Nature on a Deep, Soul Level
The natural world is integral to our spiritual and magical lives and the lives of faeries and nature spirits.

Drawing from folklore, history, and personal experience, Sandra Kynes teaches you all about faery magic and the unique ways that plants enhance your connection to the fae.
