Faeries
Are there really any such things as faeries? Many Witches believe in them whole-heartedly. Others are convinced that they don’t exist except in stories told to children. So are there indeed faeries at the bottom of your garden?
To be honest, I tend to lean toward the dubious group on this one…or at least I doubt faeries look or at least I doubt that faeries look or act much like our ideas of them. On the other hand, there are a whole lot of things that I didn’t think were real until I found the witchy life many years agao, so I try to keep an open mind.
Let’s face it—there are many more things that we don’t know for certain about this fabulous universe that we live in than those we do.
So let’s just assume for a moment that the “yes, Virginia, there really are faeries” bunch are right–now what?
Well, for one thing, it is a good idea to play nice with the little people. After all, you can’t see them, and they can see you. And if they are around, they have been with us for a very long time. And they were probably there before us.
So why not put out the occasional treat for them, and plant a few extra pretty flowers in the garden with them in mind. Whenever my group gets together for a ritual outside, we always leave the last few “cakes” from our cakes and ale for the faeries…just because.
And maybe when you plant your seeds down there at the bottom of your garden, it might not be a bad idea to ask the faeries for a little boost. Who know, you might just get it!
