In Celtic folklore, human beings venture forth to meet with both mortal and fairy lovers. If you desire this type of relationship, carry talismans of protection that will allow you to return to this world. These Scottish lyrics tell of a union with a fairy lover-use them if you dare! Bannocks and cream I'll give to thee, Wine of the wort I'll give to thee, Well I'll love thee, Under the plaid, If you come home with me To the fairy knoll. I was last night In the meadow, Drinking ale with the Beguiling one. I left my love in the doorway Of the fairy bower With eyes like a star And a voice like a Stringed instrument. My green-clad love Of the mist. |
