HAVE YOUR OWN FAIRY GARDEN

In order to develop an area that would be appealing to fairies you must first look at our world through the eyes of a fairy. Use the qualities that they possess to understand the atmosphere that they are most suited and attracted to.

You must have innocence in your eyes, kindness in your heart, and an absolutely undying ability to believe in magic if you are to successfully create that most mystical of all garden areas. A garden area so unearthly that it is worthy of a visitation or occupation by fairies. This paradise can only be developed through the very qualities that the fairy folk themselves possess, minus the use of magic of course, for that is a trait reserved only for fairies and others of their like.

You must first shake off the shackles of life and living and get back to the emotions of your childhood. Tonight sleep deeply and in the morning when you awake, awake with a clear mind and a clearer heart, look at the world once again through the eyes of a child. This is when you will be most prepared to venture into the wilds of the outdoors and into the innocence that can be created from nature and your hands. This is your best opportunity to build a magical little world, one built resilient enough to attract those elusive little beings that would turn your creation into a true to life, "fairy land".

To see a home through a fairies eyes you must look deep into nature itself. Into each tiny detail that is the Earth and its offerings. Imagine yourself as a tiny creature and look at your garden area as though you yourself existed there. See each small stone as though it were a boulder to you, each blade of grass as though it were a branch above your head, each passing bug as though it were a neighboring creature that you would stop to converse with.

Fairies are in tune with nature and do not wish to see it destroyed. They only want it to be enhanced, made more attractive, but never changed or stolen from them. It is for this reason that you want to disturb the natural beauty of your garden area as little as possible as you add your ponds, flowers, stones, bird baths or feeders, and other garden accessories into it.

Keep in mind that fairies are curious and mischievous. They will be easily enticed by playful or happy images so garden statues are fine. Little houses or cottages are another curiosity, even if they decide not to dwell within them, they will enjoy visiting and playing within them. Wind chimes are also welcome so long as they do not contain bells, bells are an absolute no, they frighten fairies away. Pools of water are fine, but fast moving streams or fountains are another certainty of chasing away fairy folk, rumor has it that running water is actually used as protection against fairies. Other forms of protection from fairies are four leaf clovers, and cold iron, so do not include these in your garden.

Just always remember to keep your garden as natural as possible. Look at it through the eyes of a fairy and the eyes of a child and you will see why natural is best. From the leaves of plants that lie bent sullenly to the ground, to the little bugs that toddle silently along, to the tiny branches that lay tossed about like a lumberpile blown astrew, nature itself has created a magical playground that only needs a few additions to make it absolutely amazing.

Keep the innocence within you as you work in your garden, and it might surprise you just how easily the magic flows from your fingers to the earth around you, bringing new life to an already life filled world.

Fairies are magical little creatures that look remarkably alike people. They are surrounded in mystery and no one seems sure as to exactly where they came from or what they truly are. Some say they are linked to angels, others say they are a creature in their own right, yet others say that they are spirits arrived back from the beyond.

They usually come dressed in the human form, but are smaller in stature than we are, they are generally no larger than four feet in height. Although all fairies have the ability to fly, some have wings, and some do not. Most are beautiful, or very handsome little creatures, and it is this attractiveness that draws us to them. It is believed that they can change their shape whenever they will, so can appear in all matter of form, from a garden toad to a beautiful angelic creature with wings......Read More.

The mere words "Nightshade Plant" bring up images of mysterious workings within the gloom of night, the creation of magic spells or poisonous concoctions, images of witches and medicine men silently creating their wares. Well these images and ideals surrounding Nightshade Plants may not be that far off from the truth.......

Sometimes you just get to thinking that there isn't anyone out there for you. You see couples everywhere! Arm in arm, smiling at each other, flirting with each other, even when they are arguing with each other they look happier than you are standing there alone.

So how do you find someone? You haven't managed to stumble upon the next love of your life naturally and she hasn't managed to stumble onto you either. You've tried the local singles club, internet dating sites, and an ad in the local paper and you are getting out and out right lonely. You've considered going out and howling at the next full moon to see if that draws in some attention, but other than that brilliant idea, you are left with the option of just sitting around sulking on those long lonely evenings.

So what do you try next? A love potion to attract that special someone to you? Well maybe.......Read More.
