Faeries Gardens

[FairyCrystal]

You can do that, yes. If you make it energetically appealing, you can invite them.
If you do energy work there yourself that enhances that typical energy, you will really start to feel it. For me it has nothing to do with fairy figurines and garden gnomes you put there, it's sheer energy. Well, that's what I'm after anyways.
I do have fairy figurines and a garden gnome, but I don't feel they belong in the fairy garden. If nothing else, they seem to decrease the typical fairy energy there.
But just do what feels right to you, cos that's what will work!

No I just have an area of ornaments. No real fairies are there as far as I know.

I am surprised fairies like roses...I would think they are too thorny...?
Anything else to plant that they love?


While I'm at it... Does cold bother them? Do they go away in the Winter?

If you say they do.

I have read into this and apparently if you make a little fairy garden and offer crystals etc they will come :)

We have a small area of woodland on our little plot, all the trees were planted by my mum over twenty years ago. About ten years ago I discovered that the trees were tall enough to cut the lower branches and turn it into a real wood that we could walk through. Back then I wasn't particularly aware of elementals but I could still sense a really hostile atmosphere which I now think was them (and the trees?) resenting me being there and chopping off branches.

Ten years on it's a wonderful place to sit and meditate I have hung a few crystals for them, hopefully we are accepted now

I really do not understand how faeries appear in life and show up, to help us, I don't know. I am loving the idea of Zen and The Tao. I feel a strong vibration to these philosophies and their ideas/values/etc/etc/etc/etc about Life. Do faeries, Zen, Tao, and spiritual development coexist?

I don't know much about Zen and Tao, other than they have some beautiful spiritual teachings like many other cultures around the world.

In my Indigenous Anishinaabe culture, we call them "Little People". They are very much magical and very much-otherworldly, and have incredible spiritual powers with the ability to heal if we ask for their help. They like candy and shiny objects. They like to live in the woods, especially around water like a river or lake. They can be playful and little tricksters sometimes, especially if someone needs a certain spiritual teaching.

I had my Eagle Feather taken away by these little Spirits once when I was younger - I wasn't taking care of it appropriately. The Feather was put back after I went and made amends. Pretty harsh lesson! Since then, I have always been extremely careful with my Bundle - don't want it to be messed with ever again!

Firstly, I'm a guy too and I dont think its wrong for guys to like fairies, rainbow unicorns and witchy stuff, and heck if you like barbies and strawberry cupcakes its all good fun

Perhaps these faeries were spirits similar to the "immortals" in taoism, the angels, the buddhist deities, Tuatha Dé Danann, our spirit guides (some may have been lesser and greater fairies, eg: angels and archangels / greek gods and lesser nymphs, etc)... I understand faeries to translate roughly into "fair folk", or the fairer peoples. Seems to be a pretty good description of these being to me.

I've wondered this myself. We have sub-zero temps here and lots of snow.

Back in late November I noticed a ladybird here and there around the flat. I suspect it was searching for a dark warm corner to hibernate. I keep hoping I'll see it again when it leaves.
At the time, I had enjoyed imagining the tiny creature to be a faerie-bug - like the way we would use a horse.

As for faeries and winter, I like to believe that this makes no difference to them. It is only we who are aware of such things like the seasons.
For us, the drop in temperature has a big effect on the sunlight and it's wavelength, which in turn alters the way the light reflects off certain surfaces - like faeries.
I'm sure they're always around, just more difficult to notice.
