The Night House: Folklore, Fairy Tales, Rites, and Magick for the Wise and Wild [Paperback]

Fairy tales are more than mere bedtime stories; they are living, breathing repositories of ancient wisdom and magick.

InThe Night House, bestselling author and word-witch Danielle Dulsky peels back the layers of these timeless narratives to reveal their potent role as guides for navigating today’s world. Historically kept and passed on by women, fairy tales are distinguishable from other types of folk tales by their supernatural elements, and because of this, they were often dismissed as trivial fantasies for women and children. Danielle illuminates how this marginalization kept these stories safe from the witch-hunter’s noose and allowed women to safely store and transmit their sacred age-old wisdom for new generations to uncover and explore. Her fresh and relevant commentary will support your kinship with the Earth, ancestors, and your own living myth.The Night Houseshows how a single fairy tale is actually a treasure box of coded knowledge and magickal practice that has remained largely intact, preserved under the floorboards of the Yaga’s hut for us to find.

CADanielle Dulsky’s work is rooted in wild spirituality, story, ritual, and humanity’s deep, enduring, and embodied connection to the natural world. The founder of the Hag School and author ofWoman Most Wild,Sacred Hags Oracle, andThe Holy Wild Grimoire, she loves Irish paganism, fiber art, old stories, and black cats. Danielle splits her time between the whiskey-soaked streets of a Pennsylvania steel town and the untamed grounds of upstate New York.
