Our Forum…

One of the first fairy sightings we experienced here was a rather large, misty figure dancing and twirling in our living room.  My sister Susan, who was walking past the living room,  first registered the mist in her mind as incense smoke.  But a few seconds later when she replayed it in her head, she thought, “hmmm, maybe that wasn’t incense. . . “  Right away, she went back to the living room, found there wasn’t any incense burning and then checked to make sure no one had burned any recently.  It definitely wasn’t incense and, with all logical explanations ruled out, we had to consider the possibility that something paranormal was going on.

If Susan had quieted that questioning voice in her head or decided that she must be imagining things, then a fairy sighting would have been lost.  So, for those of you who want to learn how to see fairies (which is why you are reading this, hopefully) here’s one of the first things you can do:  keep an open mind and try not to discount and discredit what you might have seen or experienced.  Of course, there are several other things you can do to increase your chances of seeing fairies and I have listed them below for you:

Remember to Believe - Your chances of seeing fairies increase if you believe in fairies or at the very least have an open mind. Most fairies tend not to bother with non-believers.

Know When to Look - The “tween times” between day and night are often the best times to see fairies so try looking for them at dawn (between night and day) and dusk (between day and night).  Other good times to see them are at midnight (between one day and the next), any solstice or equinox day and May 1. Susan and I have discovered that we can see and hear them really well on October 31st when the veil between our worlds is very thin so you might want to try that too.  Don’t look for them in bright light -they are much easier to see in low light situations, especially for beginners.

Know Where to Look  – Outdoors in the wild or in your garden is a great place to look for the fae.  You can also look for them indoors if you have a fairy house or other things there to attract them (more on attracting them here).

Know what to look for - Not all residents of the fairy realm are small, winged and pixie sized. In fact, fairies are a diverse lot and can vary widely in size, appearance and attitude. People don’t always see fairies distinctly, it can happen but I think it is more rare.  Lots of times you will see them as mists, balls of light (various colors), something moving out of the corner of your eye, or something fluttering or darting quickly.

Know How to Look – Sit in the garden or other fairy place in shade or low light and try to relax as much as possible. Try not to focus on anything particular- in fact it helps if you unfocus your eyes a bit. To help you do this, you can place your attention on a wall or other object in the distance and then,  a second or so later, bring your attention back towards you so you are focusing midway between the wall/object and you.  Keep your focus there as long as possible and watch for movement or activity in your field of vision.  If music and incense will help set the mood for you and help you relax, give that a try.  Don’t work too hard at this– the “harder” you try to see, the less you will see. The more often you try this, the easier it becomes so keep at it and don’t give up!

Use a Chant to Call Them – This can sometimes be effective–it depends on the fairies involved but it is worth a try.  Here’s a chant you can use: Good Faery folk, wild and free Beyond the veil, please let me see.

Some Tools You Can Use – If you have an affinity for crystals, they can help strengthen the energy between you and the fairy realm and make seeing and hearing them easier.  Go with quartz unless you have a favorite crystal you always use.  Another tool that seems to help some people is a holey stone, which is a stone with a natural hole in the center  Put the stone up to one eye and close/cover the other.  Look to the right and then left, slowly turning in a circle.  Look for movement, etc as mentioned above and be patient but know that this works for some and not for others.

Look for them in your dreams and meditations – A great place to start to bring fairies into your life is in dreams and meditations.  The Elves of Fyn have said, “Look for us in dreams and we will communicate with you there if you really desire it.”  Dreams are sometimes easier because our belief can be much higher in dreams and the higher your belief, the clearer the communication with them will be.  Try asking the fairies to appear in your dreams right before you fall asleep. I hope these suggestions will help you see your first fairies.  Please let us know when it happens – we would love to hear about it!!!

Also, Can you see fairies? Or is it only in your mind?

Thanks Again x

Woah! Thats Awesome!

I Havent Had Any Encounters Yet

Well Not that i know of anyway, Maybe i have but without knowing.

I Mean, i do see things out of the corner of my eye and stuff but i really want to be their friends and play with them, just like you and your friend does

Maybe im not seeing many of the fae because as a child…this is very shameful to me but …as a child i used to pick up butterfly's and put them in a jar with flowers and holes on the lid so air could pass through,But one died i didnt really know what i was doing apart from thinking i was befriending them. Maybe thats why ?

Any Good Ways of how I Could apologise?

Thanks So Much x

Thanks Soooo Much!

Im Totally Reassured Now :)

By The Way i have tried Leaving Gifts for Them (Like A Small Quartz Crystal) But Everytime i come to check, its still there  Maybe there werent any fairies around at that time,Although It did unfortunatley start to rain at one point, (The typicial weather of England Lol)

Also im not really Aloud out at Midnight My Garden is pitch black at midnight which could be dangerous because i have like 12 random foxes that like to sleep in my garden at night, Any other times ?

Me and my friend then started to medatate on a grassy feild near some tree's and i tried to communicate so hard but i got nothing!

dont try really hard

Hello Maeva,

I don't think you are doing anything wrong but I think the advice Bek and Elyssa are giving you is really good.  This type of thing works best when you can relax and not try too hard. Try not to expect results right away–it doesn't usually happen on demand, if you see what I mean.

You asked about what you are meant to see or hear and, unfortunately, the question is difficult to answer because it varies with each person.  Even though my sister and I both communicate with the fae, even we do it in ways that are different from each other.

Don't feel bad, you aren't alone in wondering about this.  In fact so many people asked similar questions that we posted an answer in our “frequently asked questions post.”  Here's what I said in that post:

I know it’s disappointing and frustrating when you don’t get results right away but when this happens, it could be because there were no fairies around to interact with. It can take a while for them to notice you–especially in the winter time. And, even when they notice you, it isn’t an absolute guarantee that they will want to communicate with you instantly. Sometimes they want to check you out and see if you are the type of human they would like to connect with. Fairies tend to be shy and mistrusting of humans and they generally have little time for humans who, in their view, have thoughtlessly mistreated the earth we both share. This is often a big obstacle that has to be overcome and you will probably need to prove yourself and earn their trust before they will decide to reach out to you.

So, how can you prove yourself?  Well, in order for the fairies to have a good opinion of you, you will need to let them see that you care for our  earth and the environment.  Recycling, tending a garden, looking after wildlife (I was a wildlife rehabilitator, for example), conserving energy, composting, reusing instead of discarding, and using natural products are all good ways to show the fae that you are sincere. But, proving to them that you are sincere and that this isn’t just another passing fancy for you, can take some time. How long it will take depends on you, and how sincere they perceive you to be.

If you are patient and show them you are a caring, respectful, and dedicated person, they may reward and encourage you with a small glimmer of their presence. Be watchful because these offerings of their presence could go unnoticed to those who aren’t paying close attention. That little glimmer you thought you saw, that missing item, or that movement out of the corner of your eye could be one of those. If they see that you notice, you may get more of their attention and presence. Be sure to thank and encourage them anytime you think they have reached out to you.

I hope this helps but please feel free to ask more questions!

Natalie
