The Night House: Folklore, Fairy Tales, Rites, and Magick for the Wise and Wild

Review

“In this enchanting book, Danielle Dulsky magickly re-visions many traditional fairy tales, reconnecting us to our wild, feral selves. Full of twists and surprises, this interactive and reflective book is masterfully written. The Night House forges a path to restore the natural order of our broken world.” — Trista Hendren, author of The Girl God and coeditor of Re-Visioning Medusa “Danielle Dulsky not only invites us into mystical realms full of fairy tales and the magick and wisdom found within, but she builds a bridge from those tales into our own lives. She shows us how to travel the road of the imaginative seeker through the Night House and cross over the bridge with that magick intact, ready to transform our daily experiences of the mundane into endless meaning and connection, forever touched by the fleeting and mischievous creatures of myth. This is the kind of treasure-hunting symbolism and sensory-drenched storytelling that we need to awaken and integrate our most wild and loving selves.” — Ora North, author of I Don’t Want to Be an Empath Anymore “In The Night House, Danielle Dulsky gives us permission to embrace our personal paradox, the yearning for both stability and wildness, knowledge and innocence, solitude and connection. Her book provides support to walk our own path, guided by the lessons of light and shadow found in creative retellings of folk tales and myths from around the world. The Night House helps us weave our story and the world story together through ritual, altar work, journaling, and sacred practices, all the while humming our soul song, which we find with the support of the diverse cast of characters brought to vivid life through Dulsky’s lyrical writing. Lovers of folk tales and myth will revel in this feast of stories that reveal, celebrate, and empower the wild nature within.” — Carmen Spagnola, author of The Spirited Kitchen and Spells for the Apocalypse
