There are many kinds of faeriekith as from the Celtic-mythology. As in all things there are good and bad Faeries...but mostly good. (Some snippets of legend, myth, and theory...) |

| Do you seek the road to fairyland? I'll tell; it's easy quite. Wait till a yellow moon gets up O'er purple seas by night, And guilds a shining pathway That is sparkling diamond bright. Then,if no evil power be nigh To thwart you out of spite, And if you know the very words To cast a spell of might, You get upon a thistledown, And if the breeze is right, You sail away to fairyland Along this track of light.

| How to Find the Fae As Faeries do not live in the same realm as we do, (they live in what is termed the middle-ground, as they are neither in the spiritual world of the Gods, nor the physical plane of our world) it is sometimes hard to contact them. However, every single one (well most of us anyway!)have, or have had, faerie spirit in them at one time of their life. During childhood is the most common time to make contact with the fae, because you haven't yet learnt to forget about all the little creatures which the modern world has no time for. If you would like to make contact with a faerie, try the following techniques: Sit amongst nature - under a tree, near a lake or river, or relax in an area of untouched nature. meditate, and slowly push your worries and troubles out of your head, just focusing on your breathing, and the sounds around you. You can find your faerie spirit by releasing your creativity, through writing, artwork, music - just relax and do what ever comes to you. Each different type of faerie can be called using different methods. These are as follows: Earth Faeries It is easiest to contact Earth Faeries during dawn, as this is the time when they are around, giving out energy. To contact them, you need to go out into a garden, wood, meadow, or into the bush. The energy of the Earth Faerie is one of grounding, and can help you focus on the present, and shifting awareness to the physical. You can use this chant to encourage connection with an earth faerie: I knew you when the earth was cold, I knew you when the earth was hot, I knew you when my hands in soil sought The light within the earth. Also bury a crystal into the soil as a gift to the faerie, and they will reward you with their presence and perhaps a gift of their own! Don't forget to ask the faerie to identify itself, and to tell you what it wishes to be called, and how and when it would like you to make contact with it again! Also make sure that you let them know that the crystal that you planted is a gift to their realm Air Faeries It is easiest to find an Air Faerie during sunset, or on a foggy, misty day. To call an Air Faerie, go outside where there is a lot of open space, and turn three times in a deosil (clockwise for Nothern Hemisphere, anti-clockwise for the Southern Hemisphere) circle, throwing a handful of glitter in the air each time. Try using the following chant: The power of the eagle The power of the storm And the hand of valor Which a blade well becomes - Come now breath of Dana. Once you have found the Air Faerie, you will gain the energy of inspiration, they will help free your mind from any troubles, and you will return from their realm refreshed, and inspired. It is also important to present a gift to the Air Faeries, perhaps a decorated feather. Toss it into the air, and let it float and land where it may, leaving it behind when you depart. Water Faeries Water faeries can be found around the middle of the day, when the sunlight sparkles off the water. The Water faeries teach us to dream, and can help to bind any magickal working. The following chant will help when calling a Water Faerie. Guile! Guile! of the dark waves. Guile! Guile! of the Dirge. Guilog! Guilog! Voice of the swans. On their bodies by the warrior Michael. On their protection, By Brigid, daughter of Dugall the brown. In ocean and narrow, Deep in the trough of the whirlpool May the Three follow them And in the suckling cauldron of Cerridwen! Wade into the body of water, waist deep. Let your body relax with the movement of the water, and the constant flowing pattern. Set sail a tiny handcrafted boat into the water. Be sure to tell the Fae that this is a gift to their realm, and find out how you can contact them again. Fire Faeries The Fire Ally is a very dangerous spirit which shouldn't be invoked if you don't know what you are doing. But if you are careful, you can try this simple ritual. Use the following chant: Burn it with fire. Golden, bejewled. Clasped by magick, About her slim hips Loose the girdle Burn it with fire. Burn it with fire! Light a candle and focus on the flame, whilst reciting the above chant. Burn something which you value, and have a container to put the burning item in, as you watch the destructive energy of the Fire Ally. Remember to inform it of the gift that you gave it in order for it to come alive. Working with the Flame Spirit will help you to develop meditation skills and removing all the unnecessary pressures and worries on your mind. |
