Now is the time, if you haven't already, to connect with your faeries. Most locations in the USA (and Europe) now have perfect faerie village weather conditions. Find quiet, secluded, secretive, lush places in your gardens or on your property to create a lovely space for all your elementals to set up summer cottages and resorts! ;) I have set up a couple little villages, with the help of my little assistant, Izzy, to create a fun, lively, comfortable get-away for my faerie and elemental residents.
The fae love to be near tall, strong, protective trees! Why? Not only because they are great summertime spots, but because the tree spirits love the little fae, and they love them back. The trees love being a part of the secret little world of hidden mysticism and magic!! They ARE very protective and caring of the elementals, just as they love and protect the birds, squirrels, critters, and in some parts of the world, exotic and/or wild animals. After all, elementals ARE just like the birds and critters, only existing in the "unseen" or metaphysical dimension. Wherever you go, trees are a secret "hide-a-way" for animals and creatures in this dimension, and the unseen dimension.
The fae love little spots in bushes, gardens, flowers, and stones and rocks, as well. As long as they can hide behind or underneath something, they are perfectly happy!
I have a weakness for shopping the garden centers for ceramic houses and cottages, and sometimes find cute dwellings in 2nd hand stores! I will support any business that provides for the comfort or promotion of faeries! That includes gnomes, elves, or angels! But faeries really love the homemade dwellings of materials from the earth, such as leaves, stones, bark, tree branches, the "all natural" items that can be found in your own back yard!! They don't like metal, or iron, though! So we have to remember to check what is really under the paint when we purchase faerie house materials. Your best bet is to gather from mother nature. They love for the villages to blend in with growing foliage. Nothing too groomed or clipped!!
I also leave little gifts out for them frequently, especially at the full moon, new moon, faerie holidays, and special days that I feel are extra. They love little shiny things, honey, flowers, twigs, crystals, anything that is of nature or magic, as they are magical creatures themselves. Some humans create elaborate mansions, I'm sure the fae love those, and some simple little cozy dwellings. I have them all over my property during the summer and fall months!
You can find beautiful examples of fairy homes and villages on Pinterest, and even purchase some on ebay or amazon! But the best thing you can do here and now is to get out in your garden and create a space with whatever is available at your fingertips!!
Happy Faerie hunting, and Bless the Fae!!
Next time I will explain the history and stories behind the mystical magical world of the fae....
