Piskie - Keeper of the Stone Circles

Piskie is the Keeper charged in protecting the stone circles across Dartmoor and the mysteries and magic around them. She resides at Sheeps Tor where she watches over Yellowmead, two concentric circles in the valley.

A Keeper is the Genius Loci of a specific ancient place, and in this instance, locations on Dartmoor in Devonshire. It is the spirit of the land and is a sentinel that protects the sacred nature of the site. One can think of them as essentially caretakers that still live among us, but are in spirit form. They are truly enchanted nature spirits like faeries, elves, and gnomes, and are magical in every sense of the word.

“Anytime that is ‘betwixt and between’ or transitional is the faeries’ favorite time. - they are to be found at all boarders and boundaries, or on the edges of water where it is neither land nor lake, neither path nor pond. They come when we are half-asleep. They come at moments when we least expect them.”
