Greetings Friends :)
I wanted to share this wonderful and insightful information on some environments of the Fae's, what they enjoy, which herbs and flowers they spend their time in, foods they crave, and more!
Hope to help :)
The Fae can be found in Mushroom circles in Pine forests, in Hollows of Oak trees and amongst the Acorns, Pine cones and Autumn leaves. Milkweed pods are sure to lead you to the wee ones. Dew drops, primroses, running streams are regular homes for the Fae & Gnome. Here You will find photos of secret Faery homes which prove that Fae DO exist. as well as enchantments to summon Gnomes, Fae and Undines, and gain their favor. Tread lightly as you walk these pages, you NEVER know what you may find. Some of the info contained here will help in your search for the Fae, however you MUST believe Faeries exist with your whole heart.
*Bluebells *
Said
to attract faeries to dance in your garden. On Beltane eve, make an ankle
braclet of "Bluebells" and "jingle" bells to attract
helpful fae folk to you.
*Clover *
A
sacred faery plant, clovers of all kinds will attract them. Lay seven grains of
wheat on a four-leafed clover to see the Faery.
*Elderberry *
Used
to make Faery wine, these berries can be burned on a fire to invite the Good
Folk to a gathering. Make a homemade brew of Elderberry Wine and you are sure
to have some thirsty visitors. It is said that if a human drinks the wine, she
will be able to see the Faery. If a human should drink Elderberry wine from the
same goblet as a Faery being, he will be able to see them forever after.
*Elecampagne *
Also
known as Elfswort. This root can be scattered around the home to attract the
Sidhe. It can be added to any magick or spell to invoke Faery blessing.
*Foxglove*
The
source of the modern heart drug Digitalis, Foxglove can have seriously
dangerous results if taken internally. DO NOT INGEST!! Instead, plant Foxglove
near your front door to invite the Faery in. Put a dried sprig of Foxglove in a
talisman to keep you surrounded in Faery light.
*Heather *
Heather
is said to ignite faery passions and open portals between their world and our
own. Make an offering of Heather on "Beltane" eve to attract good fae
to your garden
*Lilac *
The
sweet scent is said to draw Fae spirits to your garden. Lilac and primroses for
midsummers eve, will please the Fae.
*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.
*Milkweed *
Both
Monarch butterflies and fairies like milkweed. If Milkweed is planted in a Witches
garden, the fey will always be in the area. The silky tassels of the Milkweed
pods can be added to a dream pillow to not only make it softer but also to make
you dream of fairies. In the Autumn when the pods are bursting and the fluffy
seeds are flying across the fields, a wish is granted for each seed that can be
caught and then released again.
*Peony *
Peony
seeds were once used to protect children from faeries. A garland of the seeds
were placed around the child's neck to keep them safe from kidnapping. In this
day and age, with faery contact so drastically diminished, I doubt that anyone
would want to don this faery banishing herb unless they were living smack dab
in the middle of a circle of crazed Fae!!
*Poppies *
Said
to invoke the faery into your dreams Make a dream pillow of fresh poppies to
entice the fae to your dreams.
*Primrose *
When
planted in a garden or hung dried on the front door, primroses will attract the
company of Faeries. If you have them growing under your care, do not let them
die! The Faery will be deeply offended by your carelessness. Primroses are
great in container gardens. Tie a pink ribbon around your container of
Primroses while chanting;
"Sacred roses, hear my cry
for your protection,
this I tie"
*Roses *
Roses
attract the Faery to a garden. Their sweet scent will lure elemental spirits to
take up residence close by. Roses can be used in Faery love spells. When
performing the spell, sprinkle rose petals under your feet and dance softly
upon them while asking the Faery for their blessing on your magick.
Roses
are loved by the fey so you can plant Roses in your garden to attract fairies.
Wild Roses are best for this purpose and you need to say the following spell as
you plant your baby Rose bush:
"I ask a fairy from the wild,
To come and tend this wee rose-child.
A babe of air
she thrives today,
Root her soul in the Goddesses' good clay.
Fairies make this
twig your bower,
By your magic shall time see her flower!"
*Thyme *
Wearing
thyme will increase your ability to see the Sidhe. Sprinkle it at the base of
your door, and on window sills to invite the Faery to enter your home.
Fairy Trees, if you please…
* Elder *
Elder is said
to offer protection to the faeries from negative spirits.
`
* Hawthorn *
Hawthorn,
also known as Witches' Tree, is one part of the sacred triad of trees that are
said to be sacred to the Faery. Oak, Ash, and Thorn, when growing naturally
together, create a place where it is easy to see the Fey. Hawthorns were once
believed to be the transformed bodies of Witches, who had shapeshifted into
tree form. It is more likely that the spirit seen in the Hawthorn was that of a
dryad or tree faery.
* Oak *
Legend
tells us that "Faery folks are in the oaks". Oak trees are believed
to provide safe havens and homes for many varieties of faery.
* Apple *
The
bark of apple trees or the fruits themselves have the power to transport a
true-hearted seeker to the Otherworld. Burn the bark as an offering to the Good
Folk on Midsummer's night. Also used in faery love spells. Cut an apple open to
reveal the five pointed natural star.
~ Fairy 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
A Recipe to See the Fae
On a Dawn morn or dusk eve,
find a special bottle, a pretty one the Fae would like that is.
And pour into
it
1 cup gathered spring or rain water

1/2
teaspoon Lavender flowers

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 arond bottle neck. Next, close your eyes and sprinkle 9
drops over each eyelid of your Fairy 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.
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!

Glass
container
Lay sugar on wax paper & sprinkle on the Vanilla;
stir into the
sugar till all mixed in.

Sugar;
Now use this special treat in the recipe above
& for Faery
cookies, cakes and offerings to the Fae.
You can eat some your self, but
remember the recipe is a secret!
Fairy Chant
"Come out of your Fairy Bower. Come upon this golden hour. Come to me, I beg you please. Fairies dancing upon the breeze."
Fairies enjoy both well-manicured and wild areas in gardens. It is good idea to reserve a special corner in your garden for fairy use. Placing a special statue or a small fountain in such an area is much appreciated by the wee folk.
Leave out a food offering over night. Fairies especially love dairy products, bread, cakes, and cookies, honeyed treats, sweets, and peppermint. Don’t despair if in the morning it doesn’t look like the meal has been eaten. Fairies are able to extract the essence of food without physically eating it. Food should be discarded after a day or two, since it will have little nutritional value left for the fairy. If an animal should approach the food don’t chase it away! Sometimes a shy fairy will assume the shape of an animal to accept its present.
Fairies love water. Fountains, bird baths, ponds, and streams will all attract fairies.
Abodes of various types are appreciated by fairies. Using rocks, caves can be made at the base of rose bushes. A bird-house can be easily adapted for fairy use by adding bright colors, dollhouse furniture, and glitter to the inside. Toadstools and mushrooms are also a favorite of the wee folk. Colored stones and crystals, especially in a water-filled bird-bath, will attract fairies.
Set aside a table top or a corner for an altar, where you can leave offerings for your fairy friends in a basket. Offerings may be food, flowers, herbs, pretty leaves, stones, or anything else you think your fairy might like.
Keep your home reasonably tidy, as fairies hate a mess.
Most important of all, you must cultivate a sense of reverence, wonder, and fun—as these are qualities necessary to befriend a fairy.
Let me know how it goes hehehe :)
Blessings and Love ~ *
