Yule time

of course if this blog only opens the months of Midsummer, we will miss lots of faery lore about Yule time... so here are a few faery notes for those who are in the Yule time....

Holly ~ Holly berries are said to be a fairy favourite

Mistletoe - The most sacred herb of the Druids. Mistletoe is a magickal activator. In Faery spells, use a dash of Mistletoe taken on Summer Solstice to empower your workings with Faery magick. Adding mistletoe to a fairy spell on Midsummer Night's Eve makes the spell more powerful. Can also attract unpleasant tree faeries

* Hang little bells on the Yule Tree to call the spirits and fairies

Midsummer Magick.....

In folklore it is believed that the Summer Solstice in particularly Midsummer's Eve is a time when Faeries would bestow goodluck on humans. Field and forest elves, sprites, and fairies abound in great numbers - making this a great time to commune with them. An old ritual for children was to place food out in the garden for the Faeries who would then sometimes leave crystals as token of thanks. Leaving out a little food for the fairies is also common practice at Midsummer. Milk, water, butter, honey, wine and bread are their favoured foods.
