| *{+FAE+LORE+}* Avoid cutting or burning Eldar Tree wood - a sacred Faerie tree The burning of Thorns on a Faerie Hill will release captured children. The Rowan Tree - A Rowan whip will control a bewitched horse. Can be used to protect against bad spirits. 'Flying Rowan', i.e. a Rowan with it's root system exposed, can be used to protect against bad spirits. Hazelnuts are the receptacle of knowledge. Bluebells are strongly connected to the Fae - hearing their chime will signal your death. Pansy is used as a Love Charm. Cowslips have the power to find hidden treasure. Wyld Thyme - gather the tops of this plant from the side of a Faerie Hill; gather grass from a Faerie Throne and concoct both into a brew to help see Faeries. Ragwort and Ryegrass are used by the Fae as makeshift horses - the magic words being 'Horse and Hattock' Primroses have the power to make the invisible become visible - the correct number held in a posie can open a Faerie rock. Foxgloves contain Digitalis - think about it!... The word Harlequin comes from 'Erl King' Leprechaun means 'little body' Tuatha de Danann can be translated as 'the Rural People of Craftmanship' or 'the Artistic People', as Danann was also synonymous with the Arts. Three Thorn Trees growing into each other are Faerie haunts - as are two Thorns and an Eldar or an Oak, Ash and Thorn. Eldars are sometimes Witches in tree form - thus a child's cot should not be made of Eldar wood nor should it be burnt on fires. Alder Trees are protected by water spirits. The touch of a Birch can leave a white mark, causing madness. Druids wands are often made of Ash twigs, for their healing properties. Rings of Mushrooms or Flowers mark a Faerie presence. Neolithic Flint arrow heads were regarded as Faerie Darts Red Yew is a Faerie wood used for house building. PROTECTION FROM THE FAERIE KIND Turning Clothes Inside Out - to protect from 'Stray Sod', otherwise known as being Pixie Led. Bells - especially Church Bells as the Faerie Faith and the Christian Faith have always been opposed ideologies. Blessed Crucifix, the Bible or Holy Prayer - for much the same reasons as above. Iron (horseshoes, knifes, etc) - only the pure Cold Iron will do, said to be a symbol of the movement away from nature. Running Water - it's been quoted elsewhere and it isn't as it seems. I don't believe the water itself is the protection, more likely the boundary that it represents. Bread - I don't get this one but I have heard it from other sources, any suggestions? Rowan and Red Thread - or Oak, Ash and Thorn Twigs bound in red thread. Ancient Churchyard Mold - more of that Christian antagonism, reminders of the Christian consumption of Pagan Sites. Daisy Chains - a potent Sun symbol, needs to be used in the right context. Stones With Holes - naturally formed and washed in a stream. Flax On The Floor Sleeping With Shoes pointing Toes-Away - or with socks under the bed! A Twig Of A Broom - usually Hawthorn A Pigs Head - or a pentagram drawn on the floor, sheesh!...who wouldn't stay away? St John's Wort - another potent Sun symbol, used in a herbal mixture to break 'Glamour'. Clover Mixed With Holy Water - touched on the eyelids to break 'Glamour'. THE 'TWEEN All polarities contain triplicity. One half of the polarity contains a piece of it's complementary half. This is a thing unto itself, this aspect is the in between part and creates Triplicity. Thus the Spirit World and the Physical World are complementary opposites, yet each has an aspect of the other and being something which is both and yet neither becomes the Astral World. Faeries are met most often by psychics and by children - whose perception of reality has not been straightened by adult scepticism. It is as if Faeries favour borderline states of mind, just as they prefer all boundaries : twilight, midnight, dawn, midsummers, halloween, crossroads and seashores. This can be seen in the text of the Battle of Moytura, section 9, which has been abbreviated in the 'Celtic Lore' section. The Tuatha De arrived by sea (WATER) They landed in Ireland (EARTH) They burned their boats (FIRE) This caused smoke and mist (AIR) Earth and Water - the Beach they landed on. Fire and Earth - the Smoke they created. Air and Water - the Mist they created. Favorite Faery Metals and Stones If venturing into the world of Faery Magick,, ensure that all of your tools are made of copper, silver or woods that are sacred to Faerie. Oak is probably the best to use. If gem stones are to be used, the most appropriate are Faerie stones (staurorite), Quartz Crystal, Rose Quartz, Moonstone, Celestite (blue quartz), Selenite, Amethyst, Labradorite, and Amber. To guard against mischievious spirits, it is best to use flint. A spell for summoning the fairies: Sit where the cat sits. Cross your toes. Close your eyes. And smell a rose. Then say under your breath: "I believe in fairies, sure as death." Gadflykins! Gladtrypins! Gutterpuss and Cass! Come to me fairily Each lad and lass! There are so many different types of faeries. This little section is only an overview of a few of the different types and names of faeries that I've come across. Asrai - They are small, delicate water faeries. Sometimes a fisherman might find one with his catch and tales are told of fishermen who chose to take the small faery with them, despite it's cries to be set free. One bound an asrai in the bottom of his boat but when it touched him the cold of it's hands marked him for life. By the time he reached the shore, the Asrai had vanished, leaving only a puddle of water behind. Banshee - Also bean si. Irish banshees are attached to old families. If several join thier voices then someone very great can be expected to die. A banshee has long hair and a gray cloak. Her eyes are red from weeping. In Scotland the bean-nighe washes the grave clothes of those about to die, and is said to be the ghost of a woman who died prematurley. Boggarts - Mischievous brownies, often those who have been wronged by humans. They enjoy playing tricks on humans and often cause a great deal of trouble. A farmer and his family once prepared to leave thier home because they had been so tormented by a boggart. Upon learning that the boggoart intended to leave with them, they decided to stay, feeling that it was better to suffer it's tricks in thier own home than in a new one. Eventually it grew tired of it's mischief about that farm and moved on. Brownies - Known also as the Welsh Bwca, and the Highland Bodach, one of the most well known of the fearie folk. A Brownie is generally a small man no more than a yard high, dressed in brown clothes, who often come out at night to attend to work that is left unfinished. They can become quite devoted to thier household, performing a variety of chores about the farm and providing good counsel if needed. Thier devotion to thier master might also make them unpopular with the servants, whom they might punish for wrongdoing. In return for thier help they expect only a bowl of cream and a cake for them. And offer of reward or clothing will drive the brownie away. Changelings - One of the most enduring habits of the faeries has been thier desire for human children. Sometimes after stealing a child they would leave a stock of wood, given the likeness of the child with faery glamour. The illusion would soon go away and the "child" would be buried with no-one left the wiser. Most frequently it was a faery child, or an ancient faery willing to be fed and cared for by a human "foster mother" whom replaced the child. Sometimes parents could recover thier children by tricking the changeling into revealing it's age by setting up empty eggshells and pretending to brew in them. This would surprise the old faery so that he would reveal his true nature. Coblynau - Welsh mine goblins. Small, grotesque creatures about eighteen inches tall, otherwise dressed much as miners. Unlike some faeries they are good natured, and it is very fortunate to see or hear one as thier knocking in the mines will show where a rich load of ore might be found. Although the coblynau seem to be quite busy with thier work, they are only going through the motions, accomplishing nothing. Daoine Sidhe - The heroic faery race of Ireland, sometimes known as the Gentry or the Good People. They are the faery of medieval romance, of human size and shining beauty who spent thier time pursuing the pastimes of the medieval nobility. Thier homes were made under the hills and lakes, in the land of Tir Nan Og. Among the Faery Kings was Finvarra, who is sometimes thought to be the Kind of the Dead. Ellyllon - Tiny Welsh faeries, who are fond of toadstools and faery butter. Often they will perform helpful tasks around the house much like the brownies. Elves - Generally refers to the Scandinavian faery folk, divided into light Elves and dark elves. In Scotland, faeries of human size were often known as elves, and thier land is Elfame. In England, the people referred to small faeries as elves, although the name was not felt to be flattering by the faeries themselves. *Pixies - Pixies (Pigsies or Pikies) are faeries from Northren England. They are said to be small, winged faeries with large heads, pointed ears, and noses, and arched eyebrows. They wear hats made from the tops of toadstools or foxglove plants, and are attracted to gardens in bloom. They also love coming together for gatherings where they play and dance. They do not seek out humans normally but when they take a liking to someone, they help them with their home and/or farm. They do, hoever, enjoy playing pranks on people and are especially fond of misleading ravlers. When you become "Pixie-led" the spell can be broken by turning your coat inside out. *Leprechauns - Come to be the term used for all Irish faeries, it origianlly seems to have been reserved for solitary faeries, who are often seen working on one shoe. They are tricksters who like to play pranks on humans. They are fond of dancing, whiskey, and Irish folk music. Some of the folklore associated with them is well known such as the pot o' gold which one can obtain by tricking him. Various methods, such as an unblinking stare, are supposed to give one power over them. *Dwarfs - Generally refers to the Scandinavian faery folk, divided into light Elves and dark elves. In Scotland, faeries of human size were often known as elves, and thier land is Elfame. In England, the people referred to small faeries as elves, although the name was not felt to be flattering by the faeries themselves. *Gremlins - Gremlins are technological faeries and they are associated, though not exclusively, with airplanes. Traditional faeries, who are usually though of as nature spirits, are said to dislike technology, but Gremlins seem to have adapted do the modern age. Some say they are air spirits, others say that they live underground around airfields. While the descriptions vary, they are ususally pictured being a foot tall, green in color, and having large, fuzzy ears and webbed feet (to cling to airplane wings). They sometimes go about naked, while at other times, they are clothed like aviators, with suction cups on the bottoms of thier boots. This list is by NO means exclusive. Many herbs have additional properties such as theraputic uses in alternative healing and aromatherapy. Many herbs also have unique characteristics when used in combination with other substances. *{+RECIPES+}* FAERY FIRE OIL 1 garnet 1 dram dragon's blood 1 dram almond oil coriander seeds Warm all ingredients in an enamel pan on low heat.

This recipe I found in LLewellyn's 1995 Magickal Almanac. It comes from author Patricia Telesco. . Though the original recipe was baked on April 30th as part of spring rites for welcoming the fae, they can be baked as an offering to the faeries all year long. They are traditionally shared with the fae (left outside overnight) and the all the members of the family, coven or community. If they are eaten, it was regarded as good fortune (faeries don't trust just anyone's treats - they've been tricked before). 2 cups sifted flour 1 cup candied fruits 1 egg 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1 cup buttermilk 1/2 cup honey 1 tablespoon rose water Combine the flour, egg, baking powder, rose water, and buttermilk in a good sized bowl, stirring until they are well blended. Next, fold in the candied fruits so they are distributed evenly in the dough. If the dough seems sticky, add more flour until you can work it easily with your fingers. Shape heaping tablespoonfuls of the dough into four leaf clovers. Place on a greased cookie sheet at 350*F for about 10 minutes, until fully raised and slightly browned. Drizzle a little honey on top while cooling. . -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fae Candies .

This is a sweet side dish which, with its bright color and scent, inspires thoughts of spring frolic, abundant buttercups, and pranks by the Fey.
