Faeries and Faery Pedagogy in Neopagan Spiritualities in Croatia (Translation)

Marina Tkalčić

Sažetak

The focus of the paper is on faeries and faery pedagogy in the context of Croatian neopagan spiritualities. It aims to present the ways in which folk tales influence the creation of spiritualities in the modern everyday life. By researching individual practices the paper attempts to connect the alternative ways of living with the educational role of faeries. In most cases learning from faeries is based on questioning the dominant forms of (bio)power. In this respect faeries are opposed to capitalism, imperialism, and various other forms of oppression. The emphasis is mostly on ecology – i.e. on learning how to relate to land and nature in a different, less aggressive manner by using faerie cultures.
