— Determine the degree of a person’s involvement in the occult since many only dabble in witchcraft without any commitment.
They re disengaging themselves entirely from the cishet male gaze, and openly refusing to seek permission to exist, thrive, and mold a world in their own image, rather than the male-dominated one we ve lived and suffered in for so long. For years before I began in the craft I went to a place she mentions in the book and have felt the same feeling verbatim of what she and many others felt about the place.
They are easy to assemble, with all the necessary materials included in a single package. Customers can simply follow the instructions provided and have a decorative witch broom ready in no time. In addition to the brooms, Home Depot also offers witch hat decorations.
First Conversation with the Fae
I recently decided to start exploring the fae. I have deep experience working with human spirits and gods, and decided it's time to branch out. Armed with such experiences as might translate and some kind advice from u/RavenandLotus, u/witchinghomo and u/PhantomGender (thanks!), I decided to try making contact with a Fae spirit today. I thought I'd share my experience. Here are the high points:
- I went into a wooded park armed with Strawberry Sugar Wafers to exchange for information about Fae culture. Rather than sitting quietly and waiting, I decided to walk through the park mentally projecting out my desire and intent for any Fae interested in my tasty treats.
- Significantly (it turns out), I am a nature lover and was thoroughly enjoying my time in the woods. When I go into the woods I generally open myself up to feel and become immersed in the woodland energies flowing around and through me. It's a great to feel like in some small way I’m part of the woods.
- Surprisingly, I found myself under Fae attention almost immediately. For some reason I decided to stick to my plan of walking the park. I had two Fae following me. Again for some reason I decided to take a path up a steep hill, although I am sorely out of shape.
- After cresting the hill, I turned around to head back to a fallen tree where I'd decided to converse. On the way down, I realized a very large (8' or so) Fae was behind me, and the small ones were gone. Without my trying, I heard it's voice in my head: "I'll answer questions. You'll give me sweets. All the sweets." It wasn't a question, it was more like a threat. I hadn't planned on offering more than one wafer, but. After clamping down on my fear, I said sure, and we proceeded.
- When I got to the base of the hill it actually whined, and asked how much further. I showed it a mental picture of a fallen tree I'd decided to speak at, and it agreed to follow me.
- We quickly negotiated and formalized our agreement: I would open the sugar wafers and put them on the tree. I could ask all the questions I wanted and it would answer in good faith as I judge such things. When I was done, I would add energy to the wafers (making them more substantial in the spirit world) and leave them. Once our conversation was concluded, we would go our separate ways, and he would neither directly nor indirectly cause me mischief thereafter. And neither of us would do anything to cause the other to regret our engagement. (By this I meant, no pranks!)
- I asked which court he belonged to. He said unseelie. No shock there.
- I asked what's the one thing humans who deal with fae should know about fae that isn't that well-understood. He replied without hesitation: "We're greedy. All fae are greedy. Doesn't matter which court."
- Remembering the advice I'd received, I asked and he confirmed that humans shouldn't thank Fae. I asked why. “Fae are greedy, take pride in negotiating for maximum gain. To say, ‘thank you’ is to say Fae didn’t get everything it could, that human negotiated better, and had to thank Fae for not getting more from human.”
- While talking, a fly landed on the wafers. He told me to brush it away. I realized what he was saying--he didn't want the fly eating any of his wafers. I was incredulous—how much could a fly eat. "They're all mine," was the reply. "You promised them to me. Shoo away fly. Now."
- We were near my car, though it was behind trees. A car alarm went off, sounding like mine. My laptop was in my trunk. He offered to go see if anyone was stealing anything from me. He flew away, returning after a couple moments. "You should come see," he said. "What? Is someone breaking into my car?!" "You should come see," he repeated. I hurried over, finding my car in perfectly good shape. He started laughing. "Is another thing you need to know about Fae. Fae can always prank humans if want. You can't stop Fae." A moment's reflection made me realize that he hadn't broken the terms of our pact--although I'd meant "no pranks" when I said not to do anything I'd regret, he hadn't done something I actually regretted--he'd taught me something about Fae cleverness, and how well my own supposed cleverness stacked up. Since I was grateful for the insight, I couldn't say he'd broken the terms of our agreement. The shifty bastard. ;)
- He doesn’t like squirrels. “Always doing same thing. Run on trees. Chase each other. Bury nuts. Dig up nuts. Disturb peace but not by doing anything interesting.”
- I'm a big believer in the power of your attitude to shape your happiness with life. So I asked him if he ever got tired of his negativity. "Is stupid human idea," he replied. "Fae are nature spirits. Nature is balance. Nature has plants growing in spring and lightning destroying trees, tornadoes wiping things out and beautiful blooming flower. Nature is both positive and negative. Fae must be same. Cannot be just one or other. Only both. Is why two courts, Seelie and Unseelie."
- He didn't like most humans, which he characterized as coming into nature but not being of nature. Only surrounded by nature. I asked him if he liked me (because all things considered, he seemed to be enjoying our conversation almost as much as I was). He said, "You not so bad. You not like others. You move like you of nature, not like you just in nature."
- I asked him what part of nature he was. "Hill", he said. That explained his whiny reluctance to leave the hill, I thought.
- He told me he found me interesting. "Why?" I asked. "You not think like most humans." Dunno if that's good or bad.
- I asked if he'd like me to come talk to him again. "Yes," he said. "Bring two packs next time" (referring to the strawberry sugar wafers).
There was more, a lot more, but this is already much longer than I'd intended. If you stuck with me this long, thanks for reading. If you have additional insights into Fae culture and outlook from your own personal experiences, I'd love it if you shared. :)
Can you recognize a fairy cat? Morgan Daimler has interacted with Fairies since she was a small child. She views them three-dimensionally, not as the limited New Age/media-interpreted versions that many of us are familiar with. She sees them as they are with their full range of emotions and motivations. Telling it like it is, she recounts her system of Fairy Witchcraft, based on decades of personal experience. She goes back to the roots of Celtic pagan wisdom to put it all into perspective, but it’s clear that the information she conveys is not from “book learning”. It comes from contact with the Fey Folk themselves. This very personal recollection has a special air of enchantment about it. As one reads, it becomes clear that Daimler not only has personal experience with the Wee Folk, she has been completely charmed by them. She has not, however, been deluded by “pixie-led glamour”. She just likes these ethereal creatures, warts and all. The book contains lots of rituals, correspondences, and magical tools. The interweaving of modern witchcraft with fairy lore makes for a special experience and Daimler opens the door for us to join her in that world. Fun to read … Full of information … Complete with in-depth references at the end … This is a gift from the fairy realms indeed, delivered by one of their biggest fans.
