A SLIPPERY FAERY All faeries are elusive (and illusive) creatures.  This faery is particularly slippery, making obects slip out of your fingers and smash against the floor.  She haunts kitchens, and glassware shops, and posh ceramics galleries.  She also contrives slips of the tongue: when you are under her influence, the wrong word just slips right out of your mouth.  Her specialty is the Freudian slip, which reveals too much about yourself. ---Excerpt from GOOD FAERIES/BAD FAERIES

LILU Crouching on the edge of reason, just beyond rationality, this faery is the provocateur of restless nights and erotic dreams.  She is the one who ensnares us with compulsions, fixations, feverish imaginings.  Yet within the dark tangle of images she weaves are the glittering threads of our own healing--for even as she conjures our compulsions she holds out the ability to release their grip, enabling us to confront and let go of all that we no longer need. ---Excerpt from GOOD FAERIES/BAD FAERIES
