Welcome to Fae Folk!
"In The Forest at Midnight Lies the Doorway To Otherworld" by David Cameron
"I think if you are going [to go] looking for magic, you will find magic." - Neil Gaiman
Welcome to Fae Folk: The World of the Fey! If you don’t know by now, I’m Cassandra Lobiesk, teacher of the class and faery tale-obsessed Ravenclaw professor. This is the continuation course to Fae Folk: The People of the Fey. Because this is an accompanying class, I suggest taking People of the Fey before World of the Fey, though this is not required.
Some information to keep in mind before delving into the lessons.
The fae folk are definitely the major actors playing their roles assigned to them. But within their roles lie the heart of their magic: the realm of the Fey. The faery realm is a thing of beauty. But the faery realm is also a thing of monstrous proportions. It is the backdrop of where magic is performed. It is the place that people seek out to find these magical creatures; so much so that many use different methods to try to find said realm. To many, the faery realm is a world that can exist anywhere. Many believe there are gateways in the form of stone arrangements, sacred hills, temples, and eerie forests. But what is inside this realm besides the creatures? What do the fae folk do there? How do others view this realm? And how does it generally function?
The class aims to delve a little bit into the world of the Fey, the magic within the realm, and the addicting charms of said realm. In order to showcase the many possibilities of faery realm-perception, however, I will not only be mentioning faery tales. I will also be pulling from recent works by fantasy writers with their own version of the faery realms.
After all, what better way to see the world of the Fey than in the eyes of many?

About the Class
This class is NOT a writing class, even though a number of you already think that I'm that evil dictator-prof who makes you write. Okay, sure, there will be writing options for those who dare to be different (hemhem), but they are certainly not mandatory. This goes the same for graphics and drawings, etc. I also usually do a hefty amount of research, so if you find random book and/or story references, you're in no way required to read them to do the homework. They're just there 'cause I give credit where credit's due. :D
This class is a one-term class and will only be running during the Spring/Second Term. The companion class to this will run during the Fall/First Term in the next HOL year.
