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.

Faery Charm Bags

these charm bags are made to establish or maintain an energy connection with the Fae, create the pouch and hang from a tree in the yard, a fence post, or place somewhere indoors. They can attract Faeries to dwell in and protect yard and/or home; or help you to gain a Faery companion, to help you seek Faerie aid in magic or for you to dream of Faeries

Materials:

lavender and vervain herbs; lavender fabric cut in a 6 inch square, small moonstone or fluorite, pale green or pale lavender ribbon, any decorative items such as feathers, holey stones, shells, etc. to adorn the outside of the bag.

put the herbs and stone in the center of the cloth. Gather up ends of cloth and tie bag shut with ribbon. Create a loop with which to hang the bag from a tree branch, knot the ribbon 3 times and add any decorative items to dangle from ribbon

Activate the Fairy Charm Bag:

store in a dark place until Full Moon, then place the pouch in the light of the Full Moon .. and say these words:

"Come to me Blessed Fair Ones,

By the light of thy Faerie Moon!

Bless this charm and grant my boon!

With this Charm may ye ever abide in friendship with me,

for as this I will,

So Mote It Be!"

let the pouch stay in the moonlight 1 hour, then place where desired
