Name: Faery Doctoring Workshop with Tom Cowan - Michigan

Location: Hickory Corners, MI

Faery doctors are men and women in rural Ireland and other Celtic lands who treat people suffering from illnesses and misfortunes attributed to faery influence. In the past, faery doctoring was strongest in areas without western medical care and where the presence of the Otherworld was recognized as one of the realities of daily life. As modern ways of life encroached on these traditional societies, faery doctoring was looked upon as superstition, and much of the old wisdom was lost. And yet, like shamanism, it is undergoing a revival. The faery doctor -- like the shaman or the druid -- re-appears in every age to meet the needs of the times. Every age must, therefore, come to its own understanding of the faery world and its relationship to it.
