-The World of Fae-

Do you believe? I do. 

The fae or faeries (fairies) are the magical, tiny little beings most of us know from movies such as Peter Pan, Sleeping Beauty or Thumbelina- but I believe, they also live amongst us. Although they do not always show themselves- often hiding in the camouflage of flowers or plants, they do often leave little signs of their presence.

Since working with their energies in my own practice, I have created and maintained a safe place in my room for them to inhabit! They love pretty places,  enjoy surprises + presents + personally, I think they are so sweet! Although they have gotten a bad rap in the witch community, I believe, that if you take care of them- they in turn will also take care of you! 

Signs of the fae include:

• Moved or missing items. Like children who love all things shiny and pretty- they may often play tricks on us to get our attention. If you ever can’t find anything- simply ask them nicely to help you find it!  You’ll often find your item in a place you may have already looked before and may even hear the faint giggle or sound of bells in your spiritual ear/mind. 
• Finding random little crystals, shells or nature elements that you may not expect to find in an environment or place! Once, I found a whole bunch of tiny seashells in the desert, the moment I saw them, I knew they were gift of the fae to me, to brighten my spirits! 
• A child giggling at what appears to be “nothing”. Children are open minded and accepting + the fae adore children! 

Ways to work with the Fae:

• Leave offerings or presents for them! As  mentioned before, they love presents + pretty things! As such, on my altar I often leave them treats (such as grapes), and offerings like flowers,  shells or crystals! 
• Take care of the Earth + appreciate all of the energy and efforts the fae put into her! Pick up trash you see, thank the Earth + the fae for all that they give + spend some quality time with them! As beings closely linked to the Earth mama and all of her magic (fairies throughout history have often been linked to helping change the seasons)- they will thank you too! 
• Open your mind and heart to them! Fix your gaze at a shaded spot beneath the trees or by some flowers. Allow your vision to fade and your third eye + heart open. Look with the wonder and curiosity of a child and you may be surprised to have them slowly reveal themselves to you! Look out for the telltale signs of glittering auras, and fluttering wings. 
• Before picking flowers or taking anything from nature, always ask the plant and the fae if it is okay for you to take! Pause, listen and trust what comes through. Although subtle, you will know! Be patient, kind, respectful- for like nature they deserve to be treated with the upmost care. 

With lots of love,
