Beliefs and practices
The characteristic of Faerie Faith is the use of the Beth-Luis-Nion "Celtic tree calendar", allegedly invented by Robert Graves in his book, The White Goddess: a Historical Grammar of Poetic Myth. The system is based on Graves's re-interpretation of the Celtic ogham alphabet; however, scholars believe Graves's invention is not based on any actual Celtic calendar.[6] In the Faerie Faith, specific lessons are associated with each lunar month, and students experience personal transformation in connection to each tree/letter.[citation needed]
