The Heart of Pixieland Volume I & II are now live on Kindle. Today marks the beginning of my books’ journey into the world — and tomorrow, the paperback and hardback editions arrive too!

These stories were written here in Devon, rooted in my ancestral connections to the West Country landscape and its stories. If you enjoy folklore, gentle enchantment, and tales inspired by walking the land and fairy magic, I hope Pixieland finds a home on your shelf.

Kindle edition available now. Paperbacks & hardbacks arrive tomorrow.

Thank you for supporting my work — it means more than you know.

Love from Claire & the Pixies xxx

A double celebration - my paperback and hardback versions of my books The Heart of Pixieland: West-Country Faeries & their Haunts - are released on 14th July on Amazon!

Richard Dadd’s The Fairy Feller’s Master‑Stroke is one of the most intricate, unsettling, and mesmerising fairy paintings ever created — and few people speak about it with more insight and imaginative clarity than Lena Heide Brennand. Lena is a curator, researcher, and host at the Last Tuesday Society and the Viktor Wynd Museum.

In this episode, we explore the uncanny brilliance of Dadd’s work, the story of his life and legacy, and the strange magnetism of The Fairy Feller’s Master‑Stroke. Lena shares her love of Nordic and fairy folklore, the threads of myth and music that run through her creative practice, and the ways folklore becomes a living, breathing presence in her work.

Heidi Wedd, a practitioner of herbalism and flower codes, shares her profound connection with plants and the fairy realm. With over 15 years of experience, she has dedicated her life to listening to the messages of nature and teaching others to do the same. We delve into her fascinating background, exploring how her path led her to embrace the magic of plant communication and fairy encounters.

Heidi discusses her unique approach to herbal alchemy and the flower codes, revealing how these elements intertwine with the fairy energy she often feels while working with plants. We explore the plants that resonate with fairy spirits, such as clover and patchouli, and how these connections have shaped her work.

Throughout our conversation, Heidi shares her experiences of seeing and feeling fairies, including a vivid encounter with a pixie named Hobnob, who offered insights into clearing stagnant energies in our environments. We also touch on the importance of sound and resonance in connecting with nature and the elementals, highlighting how singing can amplify the energies of the earth.

This episode is a heartfelt invitation to deepen your relationship with the natural world and the fairy beings that inhabit it. Join us as we uncover the wisdom of the plants and the magic of co-creation with the fairies.

Tonight, we step into the strange fairy folklore of Pennsylvania.

I’m joined by Timothy Renner— host of Strange Familiars Podcast, artist, illustrator, musician, and author—whose work has long explored the shadowed edges of the unseen world. Tim shares stories from his upcoming book, The Keystone Hagstone, in which fairies, Sasquatch, black dogs, and other mysterious beings emerge from deep woods and ancient stones. Their stories are as rich and uncanny as any found here in the West Country.

We talk about the Eternal Hunter, the goblin‑like bouts, and the curious parallels between Pennsylvania’s fairy lore and the stories of my own southwest England. Tim also speaks about dousing, the art of gifting to the fae, and the strange synchronicities that seem to follow him through his research.

This is an episode for anyone who senses that the world is stranger—and more enchanted—than it first appears.

This is The Keystone Hagstone, Part 1 - because Tim will return for an upcoming episode!

In this episode, I return to the wild heart of Dartmoor to follow a trail of folklore, intuition, and quiet synchronicities in search of one of the moor’s most elusive mysteries: the Pixies’ Door. This hidden threshold is said to open into the otherworld — revealing itself only to those the pixies choose to guide — and for years it has tugged at the edge of my awareness like a half‑remembered dream.

What began as a simple walk soon unfolded into a deeper quest. The land seemed to shift around me: signs appearing at just the right moment, stories rising unbidden from memory, and that unmistakable sense of being gently steered by something unseen. As I wandered between tors, streams, and wisht places, I found myself listening with more than my ears — letting the landscape speak in its own subtle language.

In this episode, I share the moods of the moor, the lore surrounding pixie dwellings, and the ways the land communicates when we allow ourselves to move slowly, openly, and with a little wonder. It’s part field journal, part folklore, part lived experience — an invitation into the liminal spaces where myth and reality meet.

I also read extracts from my forthcoming books,
The Heart of Pixieland: West‑Country Faeries & Their Haunts Vol. I & Vol. II, which explore the deep roots of pixie tradition, the landscapes that shaped it, and the modern encounters that keep the lore alive.

This is the first step toward the full launch on 13th July, and I’m thrilled to finally share it with you.

The paperback and hardback editions will be available for pre‑order from 1st July, for those who prefer the feel of a book in hand.

I’m also opening a small window for early reviewers. If you’d like to read the books ahead of release, I can send you complimentary e‑pub files. All I ask is that you consider leaving a review on Amazon when the books go live — reviews make a huge difference for visibility, especially for indie authors.

If you’re interested, just reply below or reach out directly. I’d love to have you in the early reader group.

More updates soon, including sneak‑peek excerpts and behind‑the‑scenes notes.

Claire ✨

Thank you for your patience over the past 6 weeks. As many of you know, I’ve been in the thick of moving house — a full‑scale, intense (and magical) transition involving boxes, dust, unexpected discoveries, and (crucially) no WiFi for 2 weeks.
Because of that, I wasn’t able to post about the last few podcast episodes as they went live.

Everything is settling now, and I’m delighted to share the three most recent journeys from the Fairy Whispering Podcast:

• Episode 92 – Awakening the Well — an enchanting wander through a historical and mythic Devonshire garden exploring nature connection, creativity and wellbeing, ancient trees and a secret well.

• Episode 93 – White Raven Dreaming — Lauren returns with her powerful dream encounters with Branwen and the shapeshifter - which overlap into waking life.

• Episode 94 – Mysterious Lights, Mists and Mines — my friend Henry and I journey with Chris to a waterfall hidden in a Dartmoor Valley. Chris shares his tales of strange lights and ethereal encounters within the ancient moorland landscape. Together we cross thresholds where folklore and lived experience meet.

Thank you for staying with me through this transition. I’m looking forward to being fully reconnected — both digitally and energetically — and sharing more stories, dreams, and encounters with you. Next Episode coming soon!

With warmth,
Claire 🌿
