I took the title of this blog from my latest purchase and reading pursuit: The Secret Commonweath: An essay on the nature and actions of the subterranean (and for the most part) invisible people, heretofore going under the name of Elves, Fauns & Fairies by Robert Kirk.
This handsome little hardback book has an introduction by Marina Warner, who was almost (and we hope shall be in the future) a presenter at the Mythic Journeys conference.
This odd little essay was written in 1691, but was not actually published until much later, in 1815 by Sir Walter Scott. I might tell you more about it here as I read more of it.
