Where the Veil is Thin

In Scotland, some paths are said to be more than mere roads—they are fairy roads, routes where the veil between worlds is at its thinnest. To step onto one is to risk the unknown, as these mystical pathways are believed to connect the human world with the realm of the fae.

Fairy roads are said to be the invisible highways of the fae, winding through the countryside and sometimes cutting through towns. It is believed that if a building is constructed on a fairy road, strange occurrences—such as objects moving on their own or inexplicable misfortunes—may follow. Some stories claim that unlucky homeowners were forced to open doors and windows at both ends of their house to allow the fairies to pass through uninterrupted.

These roads are closely tied to the concept of “thin places,” where the boundary between the human world and the supernatural is especially fragile. They serve as reminders that the unseen world may not be as far away as we think.

Just as ancient travellers carried protective charms, modern wearers find meaning in talismans. The Spellweaver Collection celebrates magical intuition, much like the unseen forces of the fairy roads.

Have you ever walked a path and felt something… otherworldly?
