Fairyology Glossary
Fairyology is a complex business and, here at Opus Fae, we recognise that lay people face a bewildering array of jargon terminology already.
Without a sound understanding of the ideas behind Fairyanity, a person would encounter extreme difficulty in navigating The Garden Path towards an eternity of blessed salvation in The Magical Wood.
Here then, is a concise glossary of some of the terms you will encounter on the way.

Heaven Scent - For extra-delicate faces (60ml)
We've waited a long time to perfect this recipe! Created for the most delicate of faces, we think we've cracked it! (The cream not our faces that is). We have used a blend of oils to soften and smooth delicate skin (including Evening Primrose Oil and Vitamin E), as well as Rose and Chamomile Water to soothe irritations. We have also added honey, which has been known and used for centuries as a skin softener and anti-irritant.
Gently fragranced with organic Rose and Jasmine Essential Oils, this is a perfect combination for sensitive skin.
