Beliefs and Practices
The distinguishing characteristic of Faerie Faith is the use of the Beth-Luis-Nion "Celtic tree calendar", allegedly invented by Robert Graves in his book, The White Goddess: a Historical Grammar of Poetic Myth. The system is based on Graves's controversial re-interpretation of the Celtic ogham alphabet; however, scholars believe Graves's invention is not based on any actual Celtic calendar. In the Faerie Faith, specific lessons are associated with each lunar month, and students experience personal transformation in connection to each tree/letter.
