Romanian and Irish Fairy Lore with Daniela Simina

Daniela Simina is native of Romania, granddaughter of a Fairy Seer and medicine woman. She became acquainted with fairies through the local lore and folklore and through direct personal experience. Daniela teaches courses, classes, and workshops on various modalities of energetic rebalancing and of course, fairies.
She is the author of “Where Fairies Meet: Parallels between Irish and Romanian Fairy Traditions”, “A Fairy Path: The Memoir of a Young Fairy Seer in Training” and “Fairy Herbs for Fairy Magic- A Practical Guide to Fairy Herbalism”. Daniela’s quest is to empower others through awakening to the enchantment of natural energies and connecting with the magic of Fairy.
In this chat, we talk about the similarities and differences between Romanian and Irish fairies, which Romanian fairy beings you might encounter, what to do if you meet one, and why we're less familiar with fairy lore from mainland Europe.

I love the idea of a comparative study of fairy folklore. Almost all cultures have folklore about interacting with other-worldly beings. According to Daniel Everett, even the Pirahã, the famously atheist Amazon people, interact with fairy-like beings on a regular basis.
