Magic in the Mundane: Iron

by Sara C. Snider | May 6, 2020 | Fairytales and Folklore, Magic in the Mundane

I remember reading about fairies when I was younger and thinking how interesting it was that they were repulsed by iron. I think it’s because iron is such a common thing to us in this day and age. Forged iron is also, in my mind anyway, antithesis to nature. It’s a...

Magic in the Mundane — Houses

by Sara C. Snider | Dec 6, 2019 | Fairytales and Folklore, Magic in the Mundane
