Our Forum…

that has happened to me alot too, i will believe and then not to just because its a bit overwhelming. the first place to start is to commit to believing in them and soon you will have no doubts at all. you can try to attract them again (theres a post here on how to attract them, you should check it out if you havent already) but all i did was too remain positive and it did take a while but it worked. Ive had two fairy encounters the second i will post later on. good luck to try and atrract them:)

@stellar they do, you should google them:)

lol I think I posted to the wrong topic! xD I can be so scatterbrained sometimes…

lol stellar….I've had days like that.  

Now, as for the question about forgiveness… I believe that many fae would be forgiving and understanding of the human learning process.  In my experiences with them, I would say that they tend to read the whole person/being and not just individual fragments of time.

Would they tend to stay away more if someone didn't believe in them?  Probably, if they were trying to communicate and didn't think they could ever get through to that person but they can be very persistent–Mr E had to work for years to get through to Susan. You know, if you think about how many stories we've heard right here on the forum where people have been shocked to see them because they didn't believe they existed, then it seems likely that the disbelief didn't stop the fae from hanging around at least long enough to change their opinion. :)

I think the garden idea and the symbols would be a great way to let them know they are welcome. Maybe place some charged crystals out there as a beacon for them to see. You could also meditate out there or just quiet your mind and call them to you.  They like being treated with honor and respect–it's very important, especially to elves–so anything you could do to show that would be really good.  Maybe you could mention the Group of Eight or Mr E and see what happens…

Thanks, I think I might try that. I think they will probably feel like visiting, mostly animal loving animals because I volunteer at a wildlife rehabilitation center now, plus I'm planting plants that attract lots of animals like butterflies and hummingbirds. Since I have gotten a lot more crystals, I think they will like them as well.

I also want to get a bat house, since bats eat lots of mosquitoes ( Mostly since we found some mosquitoes with West Nile in our area , and because I like bats ). I might try giving them some offerings as well.

Great ideas!  I like bats too but then again I like most animals, even spiders….

I'm very impressed that you are volunteering at a wildlife rehab center–that's really wonderful!  I was part of a wildlife rehabilitation group for several years, right before the fae made their first contact, actually.  I got to rehab lots of different animals but especially birds and had some incredible experiences and I'm sure you will too if you haven't already. Nothing quite like working with animals and helping mother nature.

I'm glad you have some crystals, maybe place a welcome message into them (you know, concentrate and send the thought into the crystal).  I don't know what your garden looks like but maybe you could set a little area aside for them and place 4 crystals the in corners of that area?  Just a thought…

Oh, I almost forgot – the offerings would definitely be a good thing to do, it shows honor and they would appreciate that. 

I should also put out some crystals near my faery house. What a wonderful experience to help wild animals! I hope in the future to try that.
