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

a candle for the fae ~ Full Moon

To be done on Full Moon, light a light blue or silver candle and say:

"A candle for the folk of Faerie,
An honour on this full moon night.
Come and play a dance merry,
and bring with thee the sight.
What I ask will thee show?
Without rhyme or spell?
When I peak into the flame
Will thee the future tell?"

Ask a question if you wish and then look at the candle flame and notice its shape, any shadows it casts on the walls or any images or feelings. This will be your answer from the fae.

calling the luck of the faery folk & matters of faery business..

This incantation can be done anytime during the summer, when the fireflies are
out. You must find a VERY quite and private place to do the incantation. Start with your arms out and walk in an open area that fireflies are in. Stop in the same position and call upon the great mother with the following chant:

Fireflies come dance with me
Fireflies come be with me
Oh Great Mother be with us tonight
With (your name) and the Fairy Folk
Fireflies show your true self
Do not fear me for I am (your name)
Your friend, Your Sister
Invite me into your world to dance

(Dance a joyous dance from your heart)
(Allow yourself to be free and at peace)

Continue Chant:

Fireflies, Fairy Folk, Oh Great Mother
Come dance with me, Be with me
Fairy Folk show your true self to me
I will protect you tonight as we dance

Dance the dance of the Fairy Folk

*repeat the above five lines, and dance the dance of the Fairy Folk until you
feel and see that the Fairy Folk are with you...Play with them as you like, when
you are done do the following:

Begin Chant to End the Dance

Fairy Folk, Fire Flies, Oh Great Mother
Fairy Folk, I (your name) leave you now
Go back to hide from where you came
Be not sad, or cry or weep
For I (your name) will return
To dance the Dance of the Fairy Folk
Peace be with you. Blessed Be.
(Lady of the Earth)

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.

spell to see the fae - faery potion water


On a Dawn morn or dusk eve, find a special bottle, a pretty one the Fae would like And pour into it:

1 cup gathered spring or rain water
1 teaspoon of Pink Rose petals
½ teaspoon Lavender flowers
Add 3 Quartz crystals
Add 3 Amethyst Chips
Nine inch piece of pink ribbon

Now hide this away in a dark cool place for three days.

On the third day, again at dawn or dusk, in a place you think you might spot the Fae, like an Oak tree, backyard or mushroom patch in the forest. Even a potted plant, herb or Flower will do.

Tie a nine inch piece of Pink ribbon around bottle neck.

Next, close your eyes and sprinkle 9 drops over each eyelid of your "Faery Potion Water", be careful not to get it IN your eyes!

Next recite this Faery incantation and watch for the Fae:

"Ribbon of pink, I just might think.
I would like to see the Fae today.
Special sight of Faery's flight,
Send to me the way today.
A sprinkle here a sprinkle there,
A secret spell I say today.
Wispy wings and little things,
Are what I'd like to see today."

PLEASE note this may need to be repeated to see the Fae, as they are VERY cautious little creatures!

* Clover *


Clover is a sacred faery plant. Fields of clover are believed to attract faeries, a four-leaf clover is said to provide protection against the fae and to be able to break fairy spells and glamors. Wearing a four-leaf clover in your hat supposedly grants you the power to see invisible fairies, as does anointing yourself with an ointment made from four-leaf clover, or carrying a charm made of seven grains of wheat and a four-leaf clover. The faeries of clover often have an elfin quality about them and assist in finding love and fidelity. They can aid in developing psychic abilities. The clover faeries reveal themselves readily to individuals who display kindness toward nature. They often first show themselves through flickering lights around the clover itself. The faeries of white clover are most powerful and apparent around the time of the full moon. Ordinary water can become enchanted by infusing it with clover found at favourite haunts of faeries. Washing the eyes with this water can awaken fae sight.

The four leaf clover spell
If a maid will slip a four~leaf clover into her left shoe, and tie a garland of myrtle and clover around her brow, she will see the fairies as the moon comes up.
