Faries, Nymphs, Sprites, Wee Folk, Fea Folk all names we use to describe the small beings that can help a garden grow or bring much needed rain or a bunch of other things some of which can be aggravating. The man I lived with for 19 years, not the man I divorced 6 1/2 weeks ago, did not believe in anything magickal in anyway shape of form and took much pleasure in degrading me for my spiritual beliefs. What took me so long to leave him and his emotional and verbal abuse is a story for another day.
Today we are going to concentrate on happy things. Why? Because I am extremely happy with my partner, Big Dawg, and my life as a whole.
I had a nice size vegetable garden, about 12 feet long and 6 feet wide, even though we lived in town. I grew everything organically buying plants from a hardware store near my home that I know were organically started by the owner and his wife. After the first growing season was coming to an end my yield was fairly good, but I had only done a blessing on the land.
The next year I invited Fae Folk to live in a small hill adjacent to my garden. This year all I knew to bring them as an offering was warm milk, fresh homemade bread with butter I had made. A few came to start with, so I would put out the treats I made them weekly to thank them for helping my garden to grow. They would allow the wildlife to eat only from a special section I did just for this purpose if they started to stray into another part of the garden they were “herded” back to their section. In the wildlife section was a cherry tomatoes plant, marigold flowers, lettuce, and all the extra seedling I had from starting all my plants myself this year. I kept growing these seedlings all season long to put in the wildlife garden. I learned they like cinnamon, honey and anything sweet. My garden had a large yield with the same number of plants as the year before.
The next year my youngest granddaughter was about 3 years old and asked if Fairies liked cake. I had a children’s book about Fairies, and it happened to have a special fairy cakes recipe. We gathered acorn tops as the book said to, to bake the cakes in. So we made a bunch of them and put some in the freezer to give to them another time or two or three. We served them warm milk, honey, and real butter we had made on every Monday throughout that years growing season. I have no idea what they did to help my garden grow but the yield was so big even after, canning or freezing things I had enough to give to friends and family.
This went on for a few years than my ex-boyfriend said since it was his house and yard he was planting the garden. Well not only did he plant some GMO plants he also use Miracle Grow in the garden which to me was poisoning the land. Not only did the wonderful Fea Folk not help in the garden because it was toxic to them they packed up and left. Needless to say that year was the worse yield from the garden ever. The same goes for the years coming after he took over. I refused to plant anything in that area ever again.
Today’s spell and the article about inviting Faires into your garden I felt were both good, so I share them with you. Fairies will come inside sometimes if they trust you 100% not to try to capture them. They will help your house plants grow as long as you use no type of chemical growth enhancement on them or on your outside plants as well.
