🧚🏻‍♀️🍄 Working with the Fae - a masterpost 🌿🌻

I wanted to do a quick heads up - while I usually use "Faeries" as an umbrella term for any liminal being in multiple cultures - including folklore like Nymphs or Mermaids, this post mostly refers to how the fae work according to Celtic lore. While I don't believe fae belong to any one culture, your culture or country may have different types or "rules" regarding them which I suggest you also research. There is also an element of UPG when working with the fae so do not take my word as fact.

With that disclaimer out of the way, let's get into the Post!

🌸Faeries - a Brief Overview🌸

A faerie is a mythical creature that appears mostly across cultures of Europe, including but not limited to Irish, Scottish, Brittonic and Cornish folklore. They are often distasteful or outright violent towards humans. Fae are creatures of magical ability, most by nature, but many have outright supernatural abilities such as Changelings, sirens or Selkies. Fae vary in size and power - Werewolves at some point may have been believed to be Fae for example. 

Signs of Fae activity are said to include unexplained noises - especially music or laughter, objects outright disappearing, rather than being moved which is more a sign of spirits, strange behaviour in animals,  and can somertimes be seen in liminal times when the veil between worlds is thin.

The Fae occupy a Faerie realm, most commonly called The Otherworld. The Fae realm does not obey the same rules as ours - it is vast, maybe even infinite, and it often changes shape. Most significantly, time flows very differently. What may seem like a few minutes in the Fae realm can be hours, days or years. Equally, what may seem like days in the Fae realm could be a minute in ours. Time can flow faster or slower. Faeries have the ability to move between this otherworld and ours and there are many gateways, such as crossing rivers.

It is important to remember that Fae can be violent and deadly. There are many rules that come with working with them to keep yourself safe. Not all Fae are benevolent and it may be hard to work with multiple fae. In fact, it seems more common that witches worked with one Fae individually for several years in a contract throughout history.

✨Fae Etiquette (and protection)✨

First of all - protection

Protection is the most important part of working with the Fae. It can be difficult to tell whether a faerie is Benevolent, as many are Malevolent or outright dislike humans. While this isn't always necessarily "evil" - after all, Fae cannot be held to the same moral standards as humans - many like to trick humans regardless of your "blood" or whether you're a witch, so don't take it lightly. Many will even outright hurt humans. You should always be aware of ways to protect yourself from Fae.

It's said that Bells and Chimes ward off fairies. In addition, iron is believed to burn or harm fairies as well as ward them away. Please note that these methods are meant to avoid bringing fae into certain areas. Some believe that you should NEVER carry iron on you when intending to speak to Faeries as they may take this as an insult, but this may be debated. More natural methods of casting away Faeries may include carrying Juniper Berries. 

To avoid angering the Fae, it may be a good idea to appease them by leaving a small bowl or butter or cream on your front doorstep or windowsill. This tradition of leaving Libations for the Fae can be traced back hundreds of years, and may stop angry Fae from wreaking havoc on your garden. It's also said that Cream or Milk may turn an angered boggart into a more well mannered Brownie.

Fae Etiquette

These are my most noted rules for Etiquette around the Fae, but do not take this as an exact list:

Do not give a Faerie your true name - giving this to a Fae could give them the opportunity to assume your identity or take your name among other things. Equally, you should not pressure or demand a fae to give their name . Fae will often give a generic name rather than their own. 

It is often considered unsafe to call them "The Fae" out loud. Adopt names like "fair folk" and "good neighbours"

Do not provoke them or invade their spaces

Do not take objects belonging to them - best practices for offerings is to wait for a few days before collection. Equally, remember not to eat their food. Always take it, but do not eat it as it can trap you in the Fae realm.

Always uphold promises or oaths. Do not lie.

Never say thank you or apologize - Fae prefer people to express these through action. In addition, these phrases suggest one might be indebted to them.

Another important thing to note - not all Fae gifts are contracts. Always ask if the item is a contract or a trick. If an item is a genuine gift or acceptance of gratitude it may be considered rude to refuse it.

⚘How To Connect with the Fae🥀

Connecting with Nature 

To contact the Fae, the most practical way is to connect with nature and Faeries that occupy your area. This can help you build a relationship with them later. Some ways to do this may include spending frequent time in nature or cleaning up natural areas where you are aware fae are active or occupy. When you are out in nature, acknowledge both its beauty and the fae that may be there. You may wish to plant more flowers or be more involved in your garden. There are many ways to be present in nature, even just sitting under a tree for a few moments.

You want to reach out and allow the Fair folk to be aware of your attempts to contact them. Declare your intentions to get to know them, if it is an individual spirit such as one that occupies your home, you may want to leave them notes or offerings. You can also leave offerings within nature. Call out to them, dance in nature, speak to them. Equally, ask them what they want from you. This can begin to establish a connection between yourself and a Faerie.

Ritual to contact the Fae

Before you begin this ritual you may wish to establish a Fae altar which I have written about below.

Draw a circle around you - you may use candles to represent the 4 elements, or stones or anything. Remember to set intention and protection to ensure you attract benevolent spirits. Sit or stand in the circle, feel your weight on the ground and visualise your energy going into the earth, and your energy forming roots before returning to you. Speak a few words of dedication - if you are looking to work with a singular fae, you may wish to speak words requesting for a familial spirit - if you do work with a singular fae, it will likely be a relationship of mutual benefit for a period of time. Speak your words depending on your intention. They will be different if you wish to attract Faeries to call upon them only in magic for example.

Wait for a response. This may take a while, signs may include sounds such as chimes or laughter. You may get a direct response, but not necessarily. Leave offerings in the space you performed the ritual or on your Fae altar.

How to tell if you have received a response

While there is no direct way to tell if they have responded, here are some ways you can tell and should reach out if there was not direct contact:

-Displaced objects on your offering place or Faery shrine

-Visual signs such as shimmers in the air

-Increased animal activity

-Movement or changes to your altar.

🌾Faery Altars and Offerings🍯

Fae altars increase and magnify your energy when working with them. There are three ways your can set up a Faery altar that I recommend - an indoor altar, which may be more convenient, an outdoor altar which in my opinion is better for connecting to the fae and keeping safe at the same time, or my personal favourite a travel altar, where you can move it to the best location. For an outdoor altar, you may wish to set it up in a place which will be hidden from passer-by's, an indoor altar may wish to avoid things that may anger faeries.

Your altar does not need to be complicated, but it should contain a few key elements: a place to give offerings, this may be a plate or bowl; representations of the elements - this isn't strictly necessary, especially if you're outside, but is a nice touch; but you should have something that represents the fae, even if it's just a candle. Many people use a faerie house - these are impractical for use by many fae, but can be a kind gesture or a good place to leave offerings, especially since they're often in nature, faerie gardens or on trees. 

Fae prefer spaces to be clean and dislike clutter - nature does not need to be cleansed, but clearing any litter is a great gesture, and clearing up any clutter around your altar and space can help appease the fair folk. Try to avoid using lots of chemicals when cleaning however.

 I really recommend taking the steps to decorate your altar - small items like flowers, statues, pretty ribbons are great additions to a fae altar. You can also play music and include the senses by adding smells or even things to touch on your altar.

Offerings

Here are some ideas of offerings for the Fae:

For food and drink, consider alcohol and juice or pure water

Sweet items like cake

Meat - many people seem to be under the impression that Fae do not eat meat or dislike the consumption of it - however many fae do consume meat

Fresh fruit

Honey

Dairy Products

Natural items are also a great choice, try stones, flowers, leaves and bones. Make sure these are gathered ethically and abide by your local laws.

While I may have dismissed fae houses before, places where fae can cross or stay tethered to the world may be helpful. Smaller fae may take a liking to bird houses, and fairy doors can be used as a place to cross to the other world - ensure that these are protected. Fae also may take a liking to windchimes and fairy gardens with wildflowers.

Taking care of the nature around you such as beach clean ups or cleaning up your local woodland may also be appreciated. However Fae aren't strictly nature spirits so this may not be taken up if it is not an area important to the fae. It depends.

☘Faerie courts🌼

This is the final segment of my post. While it isn't necessarily directly related to "working" with the Fae I think it is important information that any practitioner should know.

There are many Faerie courts, many small, and it is impossible to know all, so I will be talking about the largest four courts in this post.  Note: I will not be discussing Unseelie or Seelie courts as these are manmade concepts, and I will also not discuss elementals as I lost my sources on them and wish to have a more accurate source before I post.

The Spring court

This is a cheerful court that is lighthearted, but more likely to engage in pranks. They are polite, but seductive. They are likely to ask questions as they are very curious, but also can be seen as naive.

Summer Court

Equally as polite, but is not as cheery as Spring. These fae are intelligent, but can be angered easily and will punish those who harm or insult them - they may kill out of fury. However they respect life.

Autumn Court

This is a court of mystery and behaves more strangely compared to other courts. The autumn court does not understand the fear of death, and while they are not hot headed they will hold grudges and will curse and torture out of amusement. Equally but opposite, they give great gifts and will give much respect if you respect and honour them.

Winter Court

Winter Court welcome and expect death, and greatly celebrate it. They can be threatening and cruel and are often proud of it. These Fae are the most likely to show hatred towards humans and gain amusement from hurting them.

Not all Fae belong to a court, and it can be difficult to define this group at all.

Tarot 101: Tarot Journaling

(Photo Credit:  Hannah Jacobson)

With the popularity of many methods of journaling from the diverse and widely popular bullet journaling to gratitude journaling, study journals and books of shadows, it’s no surprise that something with such a wide field of study as tarot also has a journaling method. Like the methods listed above, tarot journals are as diverse and adaptable as you choose to make them, but diving in can be daunting if you’re not sure where to start. Let’s explore them together.

What does a Tarot Journal Look Like?

Your tarot journal might be a standalone notebook or journal exclusively for your tarot practice, or you may choose to include it as a section in your existing bullet journal or grimoire. It might also be a private Twitter, Instagram, or Tumblr account that you use to record the things I mention below. The format you choose it up to you. As you create a tarot journal, you might want to ask yourself the following questions to find your best setup:

Would a physical or digital tarot journal be most accessible to you?

Is complete customization a priority?

Do you want to include your tarot journaling with other journaling or tracking activities you already do or keep it separate?

Do you want to confine your journal to specific time periods (ie. a tarot journal for each year)?

Is your journal purely for journaling and tracking or do you plan to use it as a reference text, too?

Tarot Journaling Basics

These items apply broadly to tarot journaling and ways you might use it. Each of these can be customized to your own preferences and usage needs depending on your practice.

Symbology

(Image Source: Unknown. Found in this tumblr post on codes for closeted witches.)

When you’re tracking tarot card readings and taking notes, having symbols or a shorthand for referencing cards can be useful. One page/post you might choose to include in your tarot journal is a breakdown of these symbols. Personally, I like to have a symbol for each of the major arcana (alternatively you could have a major arcana symbol that you add a number to for each card) and then a symbol for each suit that I can apply a number to. If you read reverse cards, having a symbol or notation for reversed or upright cards can be useful, too.

Reference Materials

Tarot keyword cheat sheets, number meanings, card relationships, anecdotes like the Fool’s Journey/story of the major arcana, and other notes can be useful things to keep in your tarot journal. When you’re doing a reading, having all of these things in one place will make your readings more streamlined and your journal more effective.

Trackers

(Photo Credit:  Estée Janssens)

Tracking the cards you pull can be useful as it allows you to notice patterns like reoccurring cards and repeating numbers or combinations as well as which suits you are finding yourself with most often during a given period. 

To track your cards, you might choose to do a simple grid bullet-journal-style tracker that you fill in with your card for each day (a perfect place to use that symbology!). You might also choose to create a card-a-day calendar like the one Xia Hunt describes in this article. In my experience, trackers work best for keeping up with daily one-card pulls.

Tarot Journaling as Deck Bonding

(Photo Credit: Viva Luna Studios)

Tarot journaling can also be an effective method of bonding with your deck(s). A tarot journal is a great place to outline and record deck interviews, personalities, and other important qualities you want to note about a particular deck.

Using Tarot Journaling to Push Your Readings 

(Photo Credit:  Viva Luna Studios)

One of the major benefits of keeping a tarot journal is that you can track your progress as a reader over time, but it also provides you with a space for engaging with your readings as well as recording them. 

Entries

Whenever you do a reading, you might quickly layout your cards and sit with them for a bit, you might even leave them out to return to and keep reading later. With a tarot journal, you can give yourself even more time with your cards. Whenever you do a spread, sketch it out in your journal, labeling the purpose of each position and the cards you pulled for them. This can be accompanied by bullet notes about the meanings of the pulls or longer more in-depth reflective journaling. This will encourage you to look deeper and more thoughtfully at your readings, and give you something to look back on later when you feel like your reading has come to pass. 

Reflections

A moment ago, I mentioned tracking patterns in your readings. One thing you might choose to write about in your tarot journal are those patterns. If you notice that you’ve been pulling almost exclusively wands cards for several weeks, sitting down to journal about why you are surrounded by that suit might help you puzzle through it. The same can be said for repeating numbers or images. 

You might also choose to reflect on even bigger pictures when it comes to readings. Reflecting on all of the cards you pulled in a week, month, or even the year can be a useful and even cathartic experience.

-

How do you use your tarot journal? What do you prioritize? Tracking goals, readings, and more can be a useful part of encouraging daily practice, but it can also be part of what makes your tarot practice fun. Expanding and adapting this system to fit your own work.

🍎🌾Stuffed Apples for Mabon🌾🍎

Happy Mabon my greenies! I’m so happy to bring this recipe for you to enjoy during this festive time. Like all my recipes, these can be used with or without a chant, you can create your own, or if you’re not a practitioner. I want to bring joy and comfort for this time of year. This is a recipe I used last year and decided to post it for y’all. I hope you enjoy!

Ingredients

5 Apples (I use honeycrisp)

1 tsp cornstarch

1 tsp lemon juice

2 tbsp granulated sugar

1 tsp ground cinnamon

Pinch of sea salt

Pinch ground nutmeg

Dash of vanilla

For Topping

¼ cup all purpose flour

¼ cup brown sugar

¼ cup old fashioned oats

¼ tsp baking powder

1 tsp ground cinnamon

Pinch sea salt

3 tbsp unsalted butter

Directions

First cut off the tops of the apples and core them. Make sure you spoon out the insides and save them. (Also save all peels to use as offerings or compost) Use the inside of the apple and cut into small ¼ inch chunks.

Mix together the apple chunks, cornstarch, lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and vanilla. Put into the apple and make sure you leave a little space for the crumble topping. While mixing these ingredients, think on all you’re thankful for and fill the apples with love and hope.

Cut up the butter into little pieces and put some inside the apple. Then mix together the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt and place on top of the apple. While mixing, you can say the chant below or your own. Use the rest of the butter to sprinkle on top of the apples.

Preheat ovan at 375 degrees F and place apples onto a covered baking sheet. Cover the tops of the apples with foil and bake for 15 min and the uncover and bake for 20. Wait at least 10 minutes before eating and enjoy with some ice cream.

Chant: While fog may cast in front of my eyes, the breeze of fall trails with browning leaves. A warm hand on my back and wisp of hair, let my future shine. Let my love rejoice and my mind rest with ease. My life, my hope, my dream.

Once again my lovelies, happy Mabon to you and your loved ones. I hope that with the shifting of seasons, brings change to our society.

With all my love, 

Kenzie

Siren Allure Spell

Sirens are dangerous creatures, who lure nearby sailors with their enchanting music and voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast of their island. This spell is used to bring allure to your speaking and singing voice, to enchant those around you.  It is best used when a witch is wanting to kill it at an interview, dominate a speech, or perform like the greatest diva.  And it is so simple!

YOU WILL REQUIRE:

–tablespoon of honey –bowl of sea salt –glass of water

SPELLWORK:

Begin outside.  (If you are near a body of water, this would be even better.)  Toss a pinch of salt in each of the four directions, saying: Northern sirens of rivers carving stone and dark depths, aid me. Eastern sirens of cliff drops into jetties and sea spray, aid me. Southern sirens of pale sands and hot lava rock, aid me. Western sirens of endless horizon and ancient shipwrecks, aid me.

Make a circle with the remaining sea salt, large enough for you to stand in, and step into it.  Shut your eyes.  Envision the tide rolling in over your toes, kissing your ankles, and drawing you out waist deep.  

Open your eyes and distribute your honey onto a spoon.  Recite the following chant: For words sweetened as fresh honey, for song as powerful as hurricane gales, for confidence as strong as undertow, for appearance as alluring as siren maidens. I am one with the sea and the sea is in me.

Consume the honey.  Let its warmth spread over your tongue, along your teeth, down your throat, and into your stomach.  Concentrate on that heat and feel it spread through your veins.

Taking your glass of water, drink the entirety of it.  When you are finished, say: My siren spell begins now and all will be enchanted.

Step out of the circle and your spell is complete.  It should last one full day.

Hope this helps, darlings!

I don’t really know what people generally call this method of sigil making, so I’m just calling it “Letter Shaping” because you’re using the basic shapes from certain letters. This is the most common form of sigil making, and it allows the most creative influence. As you see above the sigils are for nearly the same thing, yet the sigils came out completely different. Not because the purpose was different, but because I approached them both a different creative way, and that’s what I like so much about this method. There’s a lot of freedom and personalization involved.
