Thomas the Rhymer is an old Scottish ballad where a man journeys into faeryland with the Queen of Elfland. Most of myth and folklore is about real worlds that we can visit in pathworking, journeying, astral travel. I explain the story and how to use it for spiritual work, faery magic, "shamanic" and mystical features, and how you can use the story to travel into the otherworld and meet the Queen. The Three Roads, magickal apples, the tongue that cannot lie, twilight, ancestral lands, rivers of blood, taboos, faery/earth spirits in California and other locations, different types of earth spirits and faery beings that I've met. They are real, they exist and you can contact them!
