| Here's a list of flowers that are said to attract them and why. Foxglove - Name is derived from "Little Folks' Glove". They use the blossoms for hats and boots Campanile- they use for drinking vessels Bleeding Hearts - they use to store faerie dust and other treasures Tulips - are used as cradles for their young Monkshood -are worn as helmets by faerie guards and knights Lily of the Valley - it said their little bells rings when faeries are singing Ferns- make excellent privacy screens Moss and thyme are favorites for bedding material. Primroses--make the invisible visible. Eating them lets you see faeries. If one touches a faerie rock with the correct number of primroses in a posy, the way to faerieland and faerie gifts is made clear. The wrong number means certain doom. Ragwort-used as makeshift horses by the faerie. Wild Thyme--part of a recipe for a brew to make one see the faeries. The tops of the Wild Thyme must be gathered near the side of a faerie hill. Cowslips--these are loved and protected by the faeries. They help one to find hidden faerie gold. Pansies--the flower that was used as a love potion by Oberon, a faerie king thought to have been invented by Shakespeare. Bluebell--one who hears a bluebell ring will soon die. A field of bluebells is especially dangerous, as it is intricately interwoven with faerie enchantments. Clover--a four-leafed one may be used to break a faerie spell. Hazel--celtic legend says it is the receptacle of knowledge; the hazelnut is a symbol of fertility in England. Rowan--protects against bad spirits. Used in butter churns so that the butter would not be overlooked by faeries. Bewitched horses may be controlled by a rowan whip. Druids used rowan wood for fires with which they called up spirits whom could be forced to answer questions when rowan berries were spread over the flayed hides of bulls. Fairy Ring Mushroom--marks the boundaries of faerie rings. Plants and the Fae who are attracted to it: Basil- The Fae of the Basil help us awaken greater discipline and devotion Buttercup- This flower and its Faerie bring healing energies, They help us rediscover our self worth Carnation- Their energy is healing to the body, contact with them strengthens the aura Clover- The clover Faeries assist in finding love and fidelity Daisy- The daisy is a favorite of Dryads(wood nymphs) The Faeries help awaken creativity Gardenia- This special Faerie stimulates feelings of peace, The Fae of this flower are VERY protective towards children Heather-The Fae of this flower are drawn to humans who are shy Jasmine- These Fae love to invoke pleasant dreams, They have also been known to help develop mental clarity Lily- These Faeries help in the development of purity and humility Rose- The Faerie of the rose can help in all aspects of love and fertility Sage- They awaken a sense of wisdom in your life Snapdragon- These bring humans great protection Thyme- Thyme draws the wee Folk into your sleeping chambers Faeries also love light so putting many bright white flowers would also welcome them into your little garden. If you want to attract water sprites, incorporating the sound of water somehow (like a little fountain statue) would definitely make them happy. And also, pay attention. Work with them, make them your allies. . .learn about the elemental realms and learn to work with energy. Here's a little ritual to make faerie allies: Air Fairy Nature: Cloud, Storm Elemental: Slyph The power of the eagle the power of the storm And the hand of valor Which a blade well becomes~ Come now breath of Dana The air fairy is easiset to make contact with during sunset, or on a foggy or misty day. To connect with this ally means allowing time for cloud watching. The air fairy is the sculptor of the imaginary world and will reveal itself through the a cloud formation, in a thunder cloud or a glittering glimpse from the corner of the eye. To call this ally, you must go outside in an open space, turn 3 times in a deosil circle, each time throwing up a handful of glitter into the air. On the completion oof the third round, lay down and say the chant above while looking at the clouds. The use of a flute or whistle will help call the slyph. They love music and vibrations. The whistle or flute will help you attune yourself with the air fairy. Once an Air ally has been found, theirs is the energy of inspiration. They will help free the mind by drawing you into the imaginary realm, floating you into unfettered territory so the mind disengages the ego, and your inner child can dance freely. You will know you have made an ally if you return from your day dream feeling refreshed and inspired. Don't forget to ask the air fairy to identify themself, provivding instructions on how to further communicate with it. It is also important to present their realm with a gift (the glitter won't work). I would encourage leaving a decorated feather which is to be tossed in the air and left behind for your new Ally. ©Witchtopia |
