The Secret Commonwealth of Elves, Fauns and Fairies 

by Robert Kirk and Andrew Lang [1893]

Review

“Kirk is a magnificent dish to set before any student of either folk-lore or folk-psychology"--The Times Literary Supplement

“The importance of Robert Kirk’s manuscript for a deeper understanding of late seventeenth-century Scottish beliefs about fairies and second sight is hard to exaggerate. There is simply no other source with such fulsome detail about the Guid Neighbours…”–Folklore

“Kirk’s ‘Secret Commonwealth’ is one of those books which are well known but hard to come by…His little treatise is a most careful and thorough piece of work, made the more so by the spirit in which it was written…The result is one of the completest descriptions extant of that special phase of popular belief.”–The Times Literary Supplement

"[F]illed with delightful maunderings on seers and second-sighters and ‘glimpses of the moon’…”–The Critic

“[A] cult classic.”–The Glasgow Herald
 

Product Description

This is one of the most sought after and enigmatic texts about Celtic fairies. Written by a Scottish clergyman, Robert Kirk, in 1691, and not committed to print until the early 19th century, The Secret Commonwealth is an unusually sympathetic account of the denizens of fairyland, and a complex of still mysterious extrasensory phenomena including poltergeists, clairvoyance and doppelgangers (here called 'co-walkers'). ----John Bruno Hare

Many believe in fairies and elves as beings who live unseen among us. There are those who teach that these beings are the same as the Djinn, who live unseen among us in various forms but are of the same race. These magical beings are thought to have a form of government or heirarchy and have many of the same religious beliefs as humans and often interact with humans. They have a sense of right and wrong and although not immortal, they can live for thousands of years. We can discover more about ouselves, our world, and our ultimate fate, by learning about, and perhaps from the Fairies.
