Working with Faery…

Working with Faery is a very individual experience.

What Faeries you connect with, and when, varies as much as any other possible interaction.

Once you have connected you may continue to be visited by the same Faery, or group of Faeries, or you may never be visited by the same one twice.

I use the phrase ‘working with Faery’ because very often the connections are most likely to occur when you are ‘working’ towards something and they will join you to help with the ‘work’.

Faery often operates on the basis of some kind of exchange – even if it is only a little effort that is the required bargaining piece.

Connecting…

So how do we start working with Faery?

The first thing we need to do is to create a connection with Faery.

Trust is something that is very important to Faery, especially as they have been abused by humans in the past, and so they need to feel that you are honest and genuine in your desire to interact with them.

Creating this connection is, again, very individual. There are things you can try, and I can give suggestions, but ultimately it is deeply personal and must be created by us each individually. You will find what works for you and it will be magical!

Here are some things that you can try out to begin building your connection and bond of trust:

Get in touch with nature

Get out in nature as often as you can.

If you cannot be outside for very long, or very often, then you could consider bringing some indoors – houseplants, feathers, leaves, etc. – or start a collection of images of nature – magazine cut-outs, photos, sketches, etc. Anything that allows you to be in the moment with an attachment to nature.

Showing love and care for nature on a regular basis endears you to Faery as nothing else can because nature is so vital to them (see the article – Faery – A Very Basic Introduction for more information on what the term nature encompasses when it comes to Faery).

Those who have a genuine love and care for nature will find connecting with Faery all the easier.

Set up a Faery alter/space

Create an area in your garden or home that is a dedicated space to focus your mind on Faery and its energies.

This does not have to be complex nor cost any money – it can be as simple as putting an acorn you found on your bedside cabinet… or hanging that picture you created of your favourite flower over the kitchen sink… or perhaps making that photo of the moon you took on your phone into your phone’s home-screen wallpaper.

It should just be a space that allows you to express your Faery side and keeps them present for you.

Meditate with Faery energy

If meditation is something you enjoy doing then spend some time meditating and envisioning the Faery energy.

Envision your own Faery wings, feel them unfurling, reaching outwards to the ethereal realm, and feel your connection with Unity and Faery deepening as your wings open further.

Provide offerings

Whenever the Faery leave you a gift – a feather in the path of your walk, a pebble in your shoe, a leaf caught in your hair on a windy day – or whenever you benefit from nature – pick some wild flowers, forage some berries, a spider keeps pests from your plants – make sure to leave an offering in return.

As already mentioned the Faery enjoy an exchange. Again, this does not have to be complex or cost anything, and should just be whatever you feel is right and appropriate in the moment. Some examples:

• a splash of water from your waterbottle
• a mint from the bottom of your handbag
• a coin from your purse
• a nonsense tune hummed only for Faery
• a little dance you do just for them

Whatever you give, it just needs to show your gratitude for the Faery and their presence/assistance.

Take positive action

The Faery believe in doing!

They are not impressed by stagnation – they like movement, especially movement that brings light to the world.

Actions such as dancing around your living room, chair dancing while working at a computer, or just swaying to the rhythm of your heartbeat, are all positive actions that have a wonderful effect on you and thereby on the world around you. This will lead to greater connection to Faery.

If you are able, then greater action such as picking up litter, shopping for an elderly neighbour, or listening to a friend who needs an ear, are all actions that again create positive effects, and will grow your connection with Faery.

Faery does not mind how big or small the action as long as it is taken – any step on the Journey is valuable!

All of the above techniques, some of them, or none of them, may work for you. The aim is to get started – put the wheels in motion – and start finding your own path to Faery!

What to Expect…

Now you are building your connection to Faery what can you expect?

At the risk of sounding like “a broken record”… yep you guessed it… this is very individual and personal to you.

What you can expect when working with Faery can depend very much upon their ever changing whims, as well as what stage of the Journey you are on, what day it is, what month… and so on…

One thing to remember is that Faery interacts with all the senses on all levels.

Communication for Faery is not limited to speech, when speech is even necessary at all. They can read whole worlds into the slightest twitch of a wing or tail. Speech is often clumsy and language not complex enough to describe their thoughts.

Therefore you may never hear words from your Faery friends, no matter how long you have been communicating with them, nor how deep your connection. You may also never see them in a corporeal form – many Faeries think that a specific shape is too limiting – or their form may change every time you meet with them (many also find the same shape boring!).

Communication may be

• giggling
• ringing of bells
• gusts of wind when there should be none
• the sound of wings flapping
• small lights/shadows on the edge of vision
• flickering movements in grass/leaves
• strange shapes outlined in light when you close your eyes
• a smell of cut grass
• a sudden strange taste on your tongue

The important thing is not to expect anything. Instead just pay attention to all the senses and start to recognise how the energy feels whenever you are working with Faery. Get to know the occurring and reoccurring senses that you get whenever you are connected.

Do not worry about seeing them – often those who try too hard to see never will – just be with them, interact in whatever way feels right, and enjoy making new friends!

Benefits…

Working with Faery benefits us, the Faery, and all of nature.

In connecting with Faery we benefit in all ways – spiritually, mentally, physically – and Faery benefit from the connection in the same way.

Recognition of Faery, breaking the barrier of negativity that has been built around them, makes connecting far easier and this in turn increases the benefits to all – working in a glorious circle.

As the connection between us and Faery gets stronger nature benefits most of all. More positivity in the ether, more love and care for natural things, increased love for everything and everyone – these things all come from our taking the time to build our trust and connections with Faery.

Allowing us all to work together to create a better world!
