It is here, in the tangles of branches and softness of moss where most secretive of the Faerie live. Many things may lie in the turn of the path. Perhaps a cottage awaits where a wise woman will teach you the secrets of her garden. Or perhaps you will find a maiden enclosed within a coffin of glass, waiting in stillness for the touch of lips upon her own. Or perhaps you will find a castle surrounded by briar. It is within the forest that many adventures of Faerie begin. The strange mists that filter through the stillness often form into vague shapes of beasts and monsters, confusing and frightening the mortal traveler. This place is a place of illusions, of voices and sounds and seeings that will try to take the traveler from off her path, lead her into the forest, and make her forever lost within. Perhaps she will remember to gather pebbles to drop behind her as she investigates the strange and beautiful music that floats through the air with the mist.

remember..... you believe!

And as the season come and go, here's something you might like to know ...
there are fairies everywhere, under bushes, in the air,
playing games just like you play, singing through their busy day.
So listen, touch, and look around -- in the air and on the ground.
And if you watch all nature's things, you might just see a fairy's wing.
(Unknown)

but just remember these wise words from Daisy: "Believe me Robyn, faeries are a law unto themselves, they act on a whim, sometimes they are kind and sometimes they are downright nasty. They probably just don't have our ethics "

a spell to call the Highland Faery Cat - the Cait Sith

I take no responsibility for any herbs suggested here. Rue is highly allergic !!!! I also do not take any responsibility if you become the proud owner of a new cat!

Bind your forehead, inside you bonnet, a bouquet of the mystic herbs chicory, henbane, and rue and go by night to the summit of a small hill, or a grassy knoll. Place seven white stones in a circle around you, and bless each one. Stand in the centre and perform a song for the faeries. Say aloud before you begin: 'This is for the faeries.'
When you have finished, bow three times to the moon, and say aloud:

'Faeries, I have danced for you, Faeries, I have sung for you, Now, I pri' thee, send to me The Faery Cat, the spirit Cait Sith (pronounced "shee") My guide and safeguard for to be.'

Having chanted the charm three times, you must cast the henbane upon the hill where you have danced; and you must take home with you the seventh stone from which you formed your magickal circle, and the chicory and rue which comprised two parts of the nosegay bound about your brow.

When you are home, brew yoursefl a tisane (tea) from the herbs, and go at once to your bedchamber to drink it, carrying the seventh stone with you.

Bless the stone with the sign of the holy cross, anoint it with three drops of water from the tisane, and finish the rest before slipping into bed.

Once there, drop the stone beneath your bed at it's head, that it's place on the floor corresponds with your pillow. Say the charm again three times before sleeping, and as you begin to dream, the Cait Sith will come to you and make itself known to you.

Never take the stone away from beneath your bed, letting it remain directly below the point where your head lies; and if it should happen that a little stray cat presents itself to you, take it in, for it will harbour the spirit of the Cait Sith, and you may call upon the Cait Sith, and know that you have a friend and protecting spirit at all times. Thank the fairies for this, and the kindly goddess of the moon, who is mother to all mortals.
