Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Fairy
Where’s a gal supposed to go in order to find a good fairy?
Take a close look around your plants. Even indoor potted plants can be infested with the playful spirits. They appear in many forms, one of which is a fairy light. Expect to find the loving spirits around unique natural settings, like trees that have grown together as if they are kissing.
Fairies seek out areas where there are tree stumps and even miniature manmade houses. Anywhere they can quickly hide from intruders pleases them.
Fairies are peaceful, nature spirits charged with inspiring beauty and abundance for plants. They are specifically responsible for encouraging fragrant flowers.
Any colorful grouping of flowers can become an enchanted garden. Fairies gravitate to bright yellows, deep purples, and hot pinks. Shiny surfaces, dangling mirrors, glass marbles, and prisms hung in the sunlight increase fairy energy.
Fairies have a sweet tooth and gravitate towards sweet smelling plants. Rosemary, licorice and peppermint entice them to stay around. Sniff your flower selections before planting them to make sure they remind you of cupcakes and honey.
Fairies love a good party and anything that reminds them of festivities. Look for wind chimes, wood pipes, and bells to add to their play land. Hang them away from the wind so you’ll know their chimes are caused by fairy activity.
If you haven’t noticed a fairy population around your houseplants and on your property, keep an eye out for any fairy doors they use as portals. Unlike entryways for other garden spirits, fairy doors have are similar to a Gothic keystone where the tip of the archway is more narrow than the bottom. Also, the edges will have the precision of having been cut with a sharp blade. Most importantly, make sure you have a pure heart when trying to connect with the cheerful spirits. No need attracting the wrong sorts. They can be mischievous, causing mishaps in your garden, and those are the nice ones.
Yes. Made me think of Black Adder when they find a turnip that looks like a willy and Baldrick says that that is ironic because he has a willy that looks like a turnip. Going on to mention that he hides in the vegetable rack at parties and frightens the children.
Keep posting.
If given a choice, I’m rather see Black Adder over Baldrick.
I hope it is a twinkle fairy that frightens the children and not Baldrick.
Cheers!
Janie,
Great post! Many people make light of such things, but I was pleasantly surprised that the Scottish take fairies quite seriously. And I say there’s more proof they do exist than proof they do not!
Yes, Jeff.
If you look closely, you can see a sparkling fairy in the photo with the kissing trees.
Respect nature. Otherwise, those nature spirits might get angry.
