These are witches and pagans who incorporate the fairy-faith into their practices and belief systems by incorporating genuine fairy lore and traditions. This can involve anything from superstitions concerning the good folk to practicing a specific cultural fairy-faith such as that of Ireland, Brittany, Italy, or the Orkneys. Other forms of practitioners may be fairy doctors or cunning folk who may either make charms against the fairies, repairing any harm or mischief done by them, or working with the good folk and travelling with them to the Otherworld. The beliefs and concepts of fairy cannot be explained in one simple paragraph, so luckily there are many resources to draw from.
