An autobiographical work offering unique insights into the practice of fairy ritual healers of Romania, A Fairy Path: The Memoir of a Young Fairy Seer in Training follows a very young Daniela, whose rebellious streak and decision to pursue the path of fairy seership clash against societal norms and restrictions imposed by a dictatorial political regime. Filled with fairy occurrences, charms, spells, and ritual work directly experienced by the author, A Fairy Path does more than just tell a story: It provides material that substantiates the reality of fairy phenomena in modern times while offering those who follow a fairy-based spiritual path resources for study and practice.

The question that plagues any work of autobiography is "how much?" For the author, how much to reveal, how much personal feeling to lay bare? For the reader, how much to believe? How far to trust the author's recollection, their version of events?

5.0 out of 5 stars A feat of magical storytelling.....
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2024

Daniela's book is very personal; its an autobiographical account of growing up in Communist Rumania. There, all spirituality was to greater or lesser extents forbidden, and children went to school where materialist philosophy and propaganda was taught zealously by indoctrinated instructors. Folklore was studied and promoted as part of a nationalist mythmaking exercise: folk tales were part of a great and glorious past which rooted the country as it marched forward to a Communist future.

The beliefs inherent in the folklore, the fairies, angels and spirits, and the working of magic, even of a healing nature, was squelched.

This was problematic, because the author, like her grandmother, aunt and ancestors before her, was gifted with The Sight, which is to say, they could see and communicate with non-human intelligences. Her grandmother was a practicing healer and fairy seer, and her aunt was a gifted psychic. They met secretly with other women and practiced their ancestral traditions, even though it was dangerous to do.

Daniela ended up learning these ways from her Grandmother, and that is the tale told in this book.

There's much to learn in this story: not only of magic and fairies and Rumanian culture and folklore and spells, and healing, but also of what it is like to grow up unable to express your most true self in public for fear of government reprisal.

I cannot recommend this book highly enough.

This is a moving, powerful, and beautiful account of child hungry to learn the secret ways of fairy and finally being initiated into the hidden tradition of her ancestors. We see her move from magical innocence to empowered experience as we get treasured glimpses of the suppressed fairy folk magic of Romania. The book ends with her finally coming into her own power as a seer and healer, even in the midst of an oppressive political regime that tried to suppress such knowledge. The memoir also includes a book of magic at the end containing the spells she learned as a child. I only hope there will be a Volume II!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating read
Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2024
A Fairy Path is a unique look into the intersectionality of Romanian fairy belief, life outside the norm, and finding a place in a changing world, deftly interweaving the author's experiences and thoughts as she came of age in communist Romania and reconciled her experiences with fairies against the unbelief of those around her. This is not your typical autobiography but rather works to guide the reader, along with the author's younger self, through the process of integrating personal experience, folk belief, and magic into a cohesive whole in a world that is too often hostile to those who are different. A fascinating and valuable read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful personal story with a little magic
Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2023
This was a beautiful journey through Daniela's early life, and I truly enjoyed reading it. Getting a peak into another time and place, and the folk magic intertwined with fairy magic was enlightening. My babcia used to talk about angels and fairies, and it was interesting to see how the things I learned growing up were similar to and also differed from what Daniela learned in Romania. The addition of Daniela's Little Book of Magic" at the end with the charms/spells her grandmother taught her was a nice touch. If you're interested in the personal experiences of other practitioners, then you'll want to grab this!
