Do You Have A Faerie Infestation: Things to Watch For

 

Missing everyday small objects— as in you just put it down, turn around, and the object disappears, only to show up someplace else in a very unusual spot. (Such as keys, coins, and small pieces of jewelry.) If you find yourself laughing and wondering “what in the world?”— that’s a big clue!

A sense of mischief and laughter in the air when you realize that the everyday objects are missing.

A house that never feels at rest, even after the kids are down for the night.

Pets that happily chase “nothing” all over the house or who play with something that you cannot see.

A baby or toddler that laughs at nothing and seems entertained by something only they can see. (There will be a feeling of sweetness around the child if the Fae are nearby; they enjoy watching over children.)

If you or guests see movement out of the corner of your eye that is low to the ground. We are talking broad daylight here, with all pets accounted for.

Hearing booms and crashes, walking into the room where the sound came from, and finding nothing out of place at all. Then the noise is in another part of the house, and the more you look, the less you find. You may feel like you are being tricked or teased, but you will not feel threatened.

Mushroom circles growing on your property on a regular basis. Not once a year, but all the time.

Unusual growing patterns in your garden plants such as plants blooming out of season, blooms that morph double, or flowers that change color for no reason.

These may be signs that faeries are involved. Remember, faeries and nature spirits are attracted to magick users, children, nature, gardens, and pets, so you may be a magnet for them. If your kids practice magick, be sure they are not calling the faeries in “just for fun.” I have seen it happen many times.

If you feel you need to calm things down in your home, or if things get out of control, then leave some gifts out in the garden for the faeries and invite them to move outdoors, where they belong. Even if you live in the city and do not have a garden, leave a token for the Fae outside. Plant some pots of flowers or herbs and invite the faeries outdoors to guard over them. The Fae will be happy to tend the plants outdoors and watch over your home from the outside.

My best advice for faerie infestations is to laugh, smile, and relax. Make sure to tell the nature spirits that you appreciate all their work protecting the home and family, and then politely but firmly encourage them to go outdoors.
