FAEIRY HERBS AND THEIR

CHARMS~ (Submitted by Chandralin 24/1/00)

 

 

* Bluebells *

Said to attract Faeries to dance in your garden. On Beltane eve, make an

ankle braclet of " Bluebells " and " jingle " bells to attract

helpful fae

folk to you.

 

* Clover *

A sacred Faery plant, clovers of all kinds will attract them. Lay seven

grains of wheat on a four-leafed clover to see the Faery.

 

* Elderberry *

Used to make Faery wine, these berries can be burned on a fire to invite

the Good Folk to a gathering. Make a homemade brew of Elderberry Wine

and you are sure to have some thirsty visitors. It is said that if a

human drinks the wine, she will be able to see the Faery. If a human

should drink Elderberry wine from the same goblet as a Faery being, he

will be able to see them forever after.

 

 

* Elecampagne *

Also known as Elfswort. This root can be scattered around the home to

attract the Sidhe. It can be added to any Magick or spell to invoke

Faery blessing.

 

 

* Foxglove *

The source of the modern heart drug Digitalis, Foxglove can have

seriously dangerous results if taken internally. DO NOT INGEST!!

Instead, plant Foxglove near your front door to invite the Faery in. Put

a dried sprig of Foxglove in a talisman to keep you surrounded in Faery

light.

 

 

* Heather *

Heather is said to ignite Faery passions and open portals between their

world and our own. Make an offering of Heather on " Beltane " eve to

attract good fae to your garden

 

 

* Lilac *

The sweet scent is said to draw Fae spirits to your garden. Lilac and

primroses for midsummers eve, will please the Fae.

 

 

* Mistletoe *

The most sacred herb of the Druids. Mistletoe is a magickal activator.

In Faery spells, use a dash of Mistletoe taken on Summer Solstice to

empower your workings with Faery Magick.

 

 

* Milkweed *

Both Monarch butterflies and fairies like milkweed. If Milkweed is

planted in a Witches garden, the fey will always be in the area. The

silky tassels of the Milkweed pods can be added to a dream pillow to not

only make it softer but also to make you dream of fairies. In the Autumn

when the pods are bursting and the fluffy seeds are flying across the

fields, a wish is granted for each seed that can be caught and then

released again.

 

 

* Peony *

Peony seeds were once used to protect children from Faeries. A garland

of the seeds were placed around the child's neck to keep them safe from

kidnapping. In this day and age, with Faery contact so drastically

diminished, I doubt that anyone would want to don this Faery banishing

herb unless they were living smack dab in the middle of a circle of

crazed Fae!!

 

 

* Poppies *

Said to invoke the Faery into your dreams Make a dream pillow of fresh

poppies to entice the fae to your dreams.

 

 

* Primrose *

When planted in a garden or hung dried on the front door, primroses will

attract the company of Faeries. If you have them growing under your

care, do not let them die! The Faery will be deeply offended by your

carelessness. Primroses are great in container gardens. Tie a pink

ribbon around your container of Primroses while chanting; " Sacred roses,

hear my cry for your protection, this I tie "

 

 

* Roses *

Roses attract the Faery to a garden. Their sweet scent will lure

elemental spirits to take up residence close by. Roses can be used in

Faery love spells. When performing the spell, sprinkle rose petals under

your feet

and dance softly upon them while asking the Faery for their blessing on

your Magick. Roses are loved by the fey so you can plant Roses in

your garden to attract fairies. Wild Roses are best for this purpose and

you need to say the following spell as you plant your baby Rose bush:

 

" I ask a fairy from the wild,

 

To come and tend this wee rose-child.

 

A babe of air she thrives today,

 

Root her soul in the Goddesses' good clay.

 

Fairies make this twig your bower,

 

By your magic shall time see her flower! "

 

 

* Thyme *

Wearing thyme will increase your ability to see the Sidhe. Sprinkle it

at the base of your door, and on window sills to invite the Faery to

enter your home.

 

 

 

“Fortunately

art is a community effort - a small but select community living in a

spiritualized world endeavoring to interpret the wars and the solitudes of the

flesh.”

 

-Allen Ginsberg
