Hello! Ive been very busy building my newish fae garden within my main yard/garden. it has flowers, trees, statues…and…a fairy house…occasionally..let me explain.

So the fairy houses have been made from lots of things: branches, bricks, wood and my most recent ones from plant pots. They ALWAYS get destroyed though. At first i assumed it was a fox or something snaffling the food and knocking it over, except for a few nights ago i left one of my "plant pot homes" out with a little food and drink inside. The next morning everything had gone,INCLUDING the little china glass i had left with milk inside. Last night again i left the plant pot home out with a small amount of food inside, but THIS time i left a sign on the entrance saying "Welcome fae+pixies! Those with bad intentions arent welcome here." and underneath drew a protection rune. This morning i went down there and the WHOLE plant pot house was gone. Without a trace. vanished. plus the little present i left for them (a pretty stone) was gone too!  I dont believe its unseelie because i often get feelings of happiness and feel at peace. I DO however think the fae are playing tricks!  Maybe theyre playing upon words with the "not welcome here" thing and thinking "well if we're not welcome here we'll take the house somewhere else!!" kind of thing! hehe.

what do you think?

Sounds like they stopped at the pub and had a few  before stopping at your place.  If I leave something out I expect it to be taken. I wouldn't leave anything breakable around either. It's about as irresistible as popping bubbles on the bubble wrap is to us or so I was told.   They may have wanted the protection rune you attached to the house.  if it were me I'd build a stone table out of natural uncut stone and leave the gifts either on or under it. It appears they like runes made for them so maybe consider making a set for them. I'd put out a couple of protection ones see if they want any more of those. Make them out of natural material and cut the runes with one stroke per part of letter.

 I have a recipie that the spirits ( angels)  I work with the most really really like. I use a small crock pot simmering pot but it's inside in a designated temple area where they can come in if they want. both indoor and outdoor offering places are used but the indoor one is supplied daily since that's my primary working area.

1 litre of water

powdered cocoa  don't use bars dont use commercial hot chocolate bout third to half a cup til its rich

Maple syrup  ( don't use corn syrup or maple flavored junk) I use equal quantity to the chocolate. Can use honey or molaisis where maple isn't available. dont use sugar bad for them.

boil the water add the cholocate til it disolves then as its cooling add the honey or syrup.

Don't be stingy with it either give them a full cup.  Wooden cups are not breakable btw.

had no idea. Have not had interaction with smaller fae and I don't know anything about them. I have seen one as I was driving the other week. ( I managed to avoid wrecking the car)

It's hard to say just what the cause of your disappearing faerie houses might be, but it's very cool that you're willing to keep replacing them. If I might add a word of advice – since you're setting these outside, then you might want to try offering honey or syrup, or small lemon cakes, or something other than chocolate. (No offence, Bluefirephoenix. Your recipe does sound tasty!). This is for two reasons – one, we've been told by other fae that the smaller fae, like Pixies, do like chocolate, but it's bad for them. (It seems to be ok for larger fae like Leprechauns and Elves.) The other reason is, if you're setting your offerings outside then animals will also have access to them and might try to take some nibbles…and chocolate is definitely bad for animals.

Anyway, keep up the good work, Laura!

The little daevas always seem to want to eat etheric versions of my food. Although, somehow I know, that it is like dogs and chocolate. Tasty poison.

And they always want the crappy processed food too! They seem so curious about it, lol. So I have to act like a mother and tell them its not good for them . ;)
