FaeriesHere we hope to answer many of the most common questions relating to faeries. Questions like - Have I had any encounters with Fairies? How do I Meet Fairies, How do I become more open and aware of Fairies? How to recognise that Fairies are around you? When is the best time to find fairies?
Have I had any encounters with FairiesThe truth is that most of us have had encounters with the Faerie Realm but did not realize it at the time.
These are powerful times for Faerie Realm experiences. When we experience the Faerie Realm, we do so through the five senses. We may see flickering lights around plants or shadowy faces in the trees. We may hear the whispered voices of the pine as a breeze brushes through it, or we may hear music from unexplained sources. A tinkling of bells is a common sound experience. We may also feel their presence. They stimulate goose bumps. We get a chill or a change of pressure in the air around us. We get that "fly walking through the hair" kind of feeling. One of the strongest senses by which we experience them is through the sense of smell. Have you ever walked down the street and caught the fragrance of a flower or tree? Most traditions teach that this is a greeting. Extend a greeting back. The more you acknowledge the greetings, the stronger they will become around you. I operate on the assumption that most people think I am a little bit strange. (Hard to believe, isn't?) If my neighbours see me talking to a tree, they just usually roll their eyes, and bring their kids inside until I'm gone.
How do I Meet FairiesExperiment with the Faerie Realm, on a still day, when there is no breeze, try the following activities: Sit beside a pond while the water is perfectly still. Hold out a set of wind chimes and tinkle them over the water. Within a minute, bubbles will rise; the water will ripple, as the song of the chimes calls the water spirits to the surface. Sit beneath a tree, close your eyes and playa flute of some kind for about a minute. If you do not have a flute, whistle one of your favourite childhood tunes. Within 30 to 60 seconds, the leaves will rustle and a breeze will brush over you as you call the air spirits. (It doesn't matter whether you play the flute or whistle well at all.) Every flower has its fairy. Every tree has its spirit. When we learn to recognize this, we open ourselves to wonderful possibilities. We can uncover some of the secrets of that plant. If nothing else, it will help us in working with the herbal qualities of the plant. And we can use this to our benefit in many areas of our life. We know that all plants have their own energy, their own spirit, if you are having trouble with aches and pains, go sit under a willow tree for about 10-15 minutes. Just feel the embrace of the tree around you. The aches and pains will disappear. If we look at it from an herbal aspect, we know that within willow bark is a chemical called Salicylate. This is the basis of modern aspirin. If you have trouble handling strong emotions especially feelings of guilt go sit under a pine or evergreen for a bit. Let the spirit of the tree embrace you. I have a wonderful blue spruce in my front yard, and I am often found sitting under it a half hour before my family visits.. .and several hours afterward. (Bless their hearts.) Every plant, every aspect of the natural world, has some spirit, some energy associated with it. The fairies and elves are Mother Earth's children. They are her caretakers and they are no further from us than we allow. They hold the key too many of the mysteries of life and nature. They stimulate intuition, creativity, and artistic energies. They hold the secrets to the healing powers of plants, stones, and all of nature. If we open ourselves to them once more, they will bless our lives many times over.
How do I become more open and aware of FairiesWe can open ourselves through simple activities:
The nature spirits gather wherever there is song and music. As we open to this realm we will soon realize that the fairies and elves have a variety of shapes and forms. They range in size from the tiniest of pixies to great forest devas. They can be larger than a redwood or tinier than a firefly. Their shapes are changeable and they will often use glamour to show themselves only in the way they choose or the way they think you will more likely accept them.
How to recognise that Fairies are around youSigns of Faerie Presence are
When is the best time to find fairiesThere are places and times best for seeking out those of the Faerie Realm. These are called "'Tween Times and Places:' They are indistinct, neither one time or another, neither one place or another. Dawn and dusk for example. They are neither day nor night. They are in-between. Seashores and creek beds are neither part of the land nor part of the water. They are in-between. Wherever there is an in-between time or place there is a thinning of the veils between worlds and dimensions and it is easier to experience new realms and wonders. Sometimes in life it is more important to feel than to know. By stirring some of those forgotten embers, by remembering what we felt as a child, we discover the joys and mysteries of the world. Remember that we can starve as much from a lack of wonder as we can from a lack of food. Nature and all of her spirits and beings keep the wonder in us alive. May your eyes be always open and may your hearts overflow. That which enchants will also prate' May this you always know.
