 FAIRY
HERBS AND THEIR CHARMS~
This is supposed to be from a 17th century work
* Bluebells *
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
* 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.
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.
