Darn...

It's almost too bad I'm not doing the "Not Recommended" section. I could have added this one:

I'd almost forgotten it existed.

Edit: And another, though it's actually by the same person who made the grovesofannwn site I linked to before.

Oh I'm already in love with this after a few seconds. The three exclamation marks, the excessive capitalisation, lovely. I'll be browsing this now, thank you! ;)

[electricmoonshine]

........ "Ffayrie"? Really?

[electricmoonshine]

...oh...my.

In tholde dayes of the king Arthour,
Of which that Britons speken greet honour,
All was this land fulfild of fayerye...

(Chaucer)

It's a fanciful affectation (initial Ff usually being a Welsh consonant, I think), but, er, I really don't think it's the biggest problem on that page. *grin*

(Sometimes I affect fanciful spellings like phaerie or majik myself, because the shapes of the words have a different Feel to them.)

[electricmoonshine]

Haha, no, but it stood out in the Table of Contents with All its Capitalised Words. As in, fancy is fine, but isn't that a bit much? *g* Then I saw the actual contents. Yeah. A true gem, that page.

[arethinn]

"Gawd-awful" is the first word that comes to mind...

[jarandhel]

Yeah... unfortunately, a lot of it isn't too different from things I've seen said seriously in the community, including the whole "elven holocaust" thing. (I have, sadly, even seen people claiming that the burning times was a war against "magic folk"; both pagans/witches and otherkin. Neglecting, of course, the tiny little fact that most people killed were Christian and didn't practice magic.)

[electricmoonshine]

Oh man I've seen that, too. Of *course* it was about the otherkin. What else could it have been? An attempt of the church gotten out of hand to end their own people being basically exempt from the law? Don't be silly.

Tolkien! It's Tolkien, not Tolkein, you ALKJASDFKLJAFISLKJDSFLOALAHFJKHADJKFH!!!

Ahem. Sorry. Also, those graphics (which I think are paintings, given their dates) are... something else.

[ignited_spark]

I'm too afraid to look!

[jarandhel]

Very wise. ;-)

Apparently someone's seen fit to repost a bunch of this stuff (don't know if it's the same person with right to do so, or someone just stealing it): http://thefaeriegate.webs.com/ *facepalm*

[jarandhel]

Yeah, I saw that posted as a link on the otherkinalliance forums. :P

[jarandhel]

Ooog... I just found this too: http://wiki.mardukite.com/wiki/Faerie_grimoire

Painful. Absolutely painful. Some of it is literally stolen word for word out of The 21 Lessons of Merlyn and The Lost Books of Merlyn. To the point where they say "At this juncture, you will take your sword and trace the “Dragon’s Eye” as seen in Figure 6" without having a Figure 6 on their wiki. And those are just terrible, completely inaccurate books.
