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 arond bottle neck. Next, close your eyes and sprinkle 9 drops over each eyelid of your ��Faery Potion Water��, 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.

Hurt no living thing Hurt no living thing Lady Bug nor Butterfly nor moth with dusty wing nor cricket chirping cheerily nor grasshopper light of leap nor dancing gnat nor beetle fat nor harmless worms that creep. Faery Dream Pillow = Cut out two squares of soft fabric approximately 6 inches square.... velvet, velveteen or satin are preferred, sew around three sides of the squares with white or silver thread. Mix in a bowl: Rose Petals (two parts) Primroses (one part) Bay leaves, fresh (one part) Lavender (one part ) Milkweed pod silky tassels (two parts) Turn the pillow inside out so that the seams don't show, stuff the pillow with your herb mixture. Sew up the end so that the herbs stay in the pillow. You can then decorate the pillow if you want with lace, silk, or embroider with designs, etc. Take this pillow to bed with you at night and put it under your pillow. This not only smells great but will help you to have dreams of the fey. NOTE: After six months these pillows may lose their "fresh" scent. You can reuse them by emptying out the old contents and refilling them with new herbs. Calling Faeries Spell This incantation can be done anytime during the summer, when the fireflies are out. Can be performed clothed but is best done skyclad. 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/Brother 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. Calming of the Fairies This spell is for an unruly mob - the fairies. For this spell you need an offering; a small piece of cake, a thimble of honey, anything you think a fairy might like. Place the offering in a clearing in your garden and whisper the following verse: Little fairies with tiny feet, Play in this garden - but leave it neat. Little fairies with hands so sweet, I leave this offering - for you to eat. Little fairies, if this garden is neat, Ill leave more offerings at your tiny feet. Continue to leave little fairy treats about once a month. This spell is best done at dusk as fairies are usually asleep in the day and dancing at night. Taking in Fairies Ritual Fairies tend to sleep during the winter months. However, at this time you may invite them into your home so that they may work their magic there. To let them know that they are welcome where you live, set up four candles in your home��a green one in the north, a red one in the south, a blue one in the west, and a yellow one in the east. Place a crystal or other stone beside each candle, and walk to each candle in a circular motion sprinkling ginger as you go. Then stand in the center of your room and call out this greeting: "Welcome fairies and nature spirits. I bid you enter, welcome all." I would not recommend trying this if you are beginner If you find that you cannot handle the powerful energy of this rite, courteously end the visit. If an evil entity arrives by accident, end the visit, either courteously or with rudeness, which ever is safest and most effective. Do each of the numbered steps in order before going on to the next. DO NOT skip any of the steps. This could be very hazardous. 1. Focus on the darkness of the minds eye. It�s that darkness that�s always there automatically when you close your eyes. 2.See that darkness filled with a glowing green. A green magic fairy glow. 3.Feel that green magic, Fey glow start swirling around you. Feel it bathing you in its beauty, bathing you in its magic. 4. Enjoy drinking in that moment for a minute. 5. Let that Fey power feed you, cleanse you, and give you the things you need. Let it work its magic on you. 6.Into that green mist, call out for a fairy friend. Don�t demand a visit, for we do not control the Fey Folk. Invite them with warmth, courtesy, good will and cheer. 7. Greet and welcome your visitor with dignity and courtesy. Ask his/her name and his/her need of you. If no name is given it is wise to end the visit . { when you meet some one on the physical plane who will not give you their name, there is usually something wrong. True?} 8. Never lightly make an agreement with a fairy. They take commitment very seriously. Also they are tricksters who often have an unusual view as to what life should be like. You may not want the same goals as they do. 9. Visit and then do the following steps. If you fall asleep, your visit may take place on an unconscious level. You will still need to do the following steps when you awake. 10. Make thanks for the visit and any help you were given. At this point it may be appropriate to give a promise or a gift ; EG- a little bit of food left out over night. Then bid him/her farewell. Perhaps this fairy will become you friend for a while or even a lifetime. You can use this ritual to visit with him/her again and again. Working with the Fae Using folk tunes you can induce the Fae to sing and dance with you as you empower your magickal tools. When they join you ,ask them for help in whatever magick your about to begin.Explain simply what your purpose is.They like this. They dislike greed . Healing spells Blue or purple candle, matches ,knife a handful of dirt Do your ritual. Take candle and empower it with healing energy .Focus your thoughts on the sick person, picture them healthy the infliction gone from them ,as you do this take the knife and carve something to represent wellness to you. Set the candle upright in the dirt" Call upon the powers that be that the healing energy which is my right is now mine (or the person whose sicks name)As this candle is consumed so is the illness. As this candle is transformed so am I (or name) I know that my words and energies hgaave been carried into the unseen world and will now manifest into the physical." So Mote It Be. Strike the match and bring it down to light the candle. Remain as long as possible while the candle burns, picturing the illness consumed and melted away as the candle burns.Always be creative with your rituals Always remember the Fae are children of the powers that be as well as we are ,and respect them as such. Information collected from Faery Folk By Edain McCoy . Summon Fairies To Magick Circle Circle is the sacred space in which witches have worked for thousands of years. It offers both a space of protection and a place to store raised energies until they are need. By casting a circle you state your intention to leave the solidity of the earthly world and the boundaries of your normal consciousness behind you. In a circle you are on the edge of all worlds - the physical, the astral, the spiritual, and probably ones of which we as yet have no knowledge. At the edge of your circle of all things, all time, and all places me, and it is here the faeries can easily come to watch, aid, or participate in your worship and work. Remember that faeries as a whole cannot be summoned at will, or controlled by egotistical magicians. They are sentient, living beings who are extremely sensitive, and they deserve our respect. When you are in the protection of your circle, try calling on faeries while keeping their individuality in mind rather than tinkling of them as merely elemental energies. (You can and should certainly keep in mind their elemental associations, but try to divorce them in your mind from being only such a representation.) Invite them with the same respect with which you would offer an invitation to a cherished friend. Different Pagan traditions have various rules or guidelines for casting circles, and a set of prescribed rituals to d in them before any magick or ritual can begin. If you are used to these proceedings, it is perfectly all right to keep following them. In fact they may even help you to see the faeries, for your deep mind is already conditioned to these preliminaries and is being signalled that you are about to enter another world. To summon faeries to the circle, turn to the four directions and invite - never demand - the faeries' presence. Your invitation might sound something like this, as you face each direction in turn as your tradition prefers, saying the following at each one: Hear me now, oh powers of the (direction). With an open heart I invite all the friendly spirits and faeries of the (direction) and of (element associated with the direction, usually air for east, fire for south, water for west, and earth for north) to come to the edge of my circle, this sacred space, to witness and participate in the worship of our cherished Goddess and our blessed God, and to joyfully work towards our goals for the good of all. Come join me (or us), if you will. You are welcome here. You are wanted here. Blessed be all who come in the name of the Bounteous Lady and Gracious Lord. If your tradition calls for bells to be intoned as the directions are invoked, you must avoid this if you wish to bring faeries. Bells have long been used as a deterrent, which frightens them away. Also, any sharp sounds while you are in your circle, including hand clapping and whistling, will frighten them off, leaving you only the mere raw energies if the directional elements. Remember, your goal is to get the input and assistance of a whole being for the duration of your ritual. For example, if you were frightened enough to flee from a sacred place, a part of your energy would undoubtedly remain behind (this is, in fact, one explanation of a haunting), but the real you, the part capable of thinking and acting, would not be there and therefore could not fully interact with others. When you first begin contacting faeries, always stay within the protection of a circle until you get a feel for their intent towards you. If you feel faeries are indeed present you should not break the circle for any reason until the circle has been grounded, at which time most entities who were attracted will disperse. If you cannot see the faeries at the perimeter of your circle, try to sense their presence. But even if you do not see or feel them, do not repeat the invitation to them. Be assured that it was heard the first time, and to press the issue could be construed as demanding or rude. You are, after all, about to enter another dimension of reality, and you do not want to drag into it negative feelings of any kind which might be magnified by the energies you raise in ritual. A spell for summoning the fairies Sit where the cat sits. Cross your toes. Close your eyes. And smell a rose. Then say under your breath: "I believe in fairies, sure as death." Gadflykins! Gladtrypins! Gutterpuss and Cass! Come to me fairily Each lad and lass! Dancing With Faeries -eliza 1/29/00 Faeries LOVE to dance and welcoming them to join in with you is a great way to become more acquainted with them. The music they like for dancing has a fast beat. Irish jigs work wonderfully. You won't believe this, but they love that 70's song, Staying Alive by the Beegees. Any silly and fun music will attract them. They also love the music from the musical Cats. Remember, you must be dancing too! Do the chicken, the twist... And don't be surprised if you feel one or more of them laughing and joining in with you. Sending Out Invite For Solitaire Announce the following: "Faeries come From near and far From woods and waters Desserts and Stars Faeries come And dance with me With open arms I welcome thee." Sending Out Invite For Groups or Covens Announce the following: "Faeries come From near and far From woods and waters Desserts and Stars Faeries come And dance with us In perfect love And perfect trust." Ending the Dance Bringing the dance to a close is often done best with a nice slow song. A gentle harp piece or a song about friendship. Do not use any music with depressing lyrics. Thank the faeries and remember to leave some milk and honey or fruit juice (they love apricot nectar) out for them before retiring to sleep. A Ritual to Gain the Favour of a Faery Go into a field of flowers or grove of oakes and there a circle cast of moonstones, rose petals, or acorns - this should be done at sunset. Bless each quarter with a copper dagger, calling out: "I call to thee Queen Saraelye Elemental Faeryes bring to me Faeryes of the Quarters, protect me for I humbly honour thee..." You should then ring a silver bell and drink of fine honey mead, leaving a few drops in the chalice to offer the Faery Queen Saraelye (Sar-a-lye). Place the crystal ring on a piece of white linen in the center of the circle (at your feet). The ring should have thy chosen Faery's name engraved upon the band in Faery Runes. Again ring the silver bell and say: "I call upon thee --- to grant me thy virtue By thy Faery name, whose virtue be the same. I call ye so true, for I need you. Serve me well as I do you..." Ring the bell again and anoint the ring with mead (If you have "anointing oil" use that too). Poor the remaining mead onto the earth, giving thanks to Saraelye. Now invoke thy Faery by name into the ring by passing over it a wand of oak or hazel wood. Fill the chalice again and drink to thy Faery and the newly formed bond. Do this at the four nights of the full moon in the same month at sunset, and you will but have to gaze into the crystal ring to bid thy Faery to appear...saying: "In innocent purity, I shall see thee Bound to thee, though comest to me. My virtues to thee, I hast shewn. Thus, I may see thee in this stone." Let no one else wear the ring, it could break the bond. When not wearing it yourself (though you always should) keep it wrapped in the white linen and rose petals. Attracting Faeries To Your Garden Create a garden that is conductive to all life. Put up birdhouses, birdbaths and bird feeders, bat houses and hummingbird feeders. Plant flowers and plants that are attractive to bees and butterflies. Faeries are attracted to any place where there are butterflies. Put nuts out for the squirrels. Whatever you do to bring life to your garden will bring faeries as well. Here is a short list of plants that attract beautiful butterflies and faeries to your garden: Achillea millefolium (common yarrow) Aster novi-belgii (New York aster) Chrysanthemum maximum (shasta daisy) Coreopsis grandiflora/verticillata (coreopsis) Agastache occidentalis (western giant hyssop or horsemint) Lavendula dentata (French lavender) Rosemarinus officinalis (rosemary) Thymus (thyme) Buddleia alternifolia (fountain butterfly bush) Buddleia davidii (orange-eye butterfly bush, summer lilac) Potentilla fruitiosa (shrubby cinquefoil)Petunia hybrida (common garden petunia) Verbena (verbenas, vervains) Scabiosa caucasica (pincushion flowers) Cosmos bipinnatus (cosmos) Zinnia elegans (common zinnia) Install a small fountain or waterfall or put in a fishpond. You might want to include statues of faeries. Anything that reflects light or is colourful and moving particularly attracts the gnomes and elves. Both faeries and water sprites like the splashy sound and sight of a fountain. Leave an area of your garden a bit wild and not too cultivated. Faeries. It need not be a large space, but having one area that is dedicated to the faeries will make them feel very welcome. Ask faeries and elves to come to your garden. "Where Intention goes, energy flows." Whatever you place your conscious awareness on, you will pull into your life. As you put your attention on faeries and gnomes and the elemental realm, they will respond by being drawn into your garden.
