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.

to see faeries ~ wild Thyme

*Gather wild thyme and carry it with you, or put it on the eyelids (with your eyes closed) and sleep on a Faerie hill, this will supposedly guarantee your seeing fairies.

*The tops of the Wild Thyme must be gathered near the side of a faerie hill. Wild thyme, gathered from the side of a fairy mound, is especially potent for use in fairy magic.


*Wearing thyme will increase your ability to see the Sidhe.

*Sprinkle it at the base of your door, and on windowsills to invite the Faery to enter your home.


*When used as a bedtime fragrance, thyme draws the wee folk into your sleeping chambers.

*Wearing a sprig of wild thyme, or essential oil of thyme, is said to help one to see fairies.
