Fairies & Nature Spirits | Energy Healing & Spiritual Development

Fairies & Nature Spirits | Energy Healing & Spiritual Development The word “fairy” conjures up ideas of cute & pretty fairytale creatures that hold magickal powers, grant wishes & are tied to the natural world. Fairies are recorded in folklore throughout Europe & are also called “The Fae”, “The Sidhe”, “Faery” and “Fair Folk”. Modern media has depicted them as light- hearted & kindly people (usually girls/women with wings) that support humans, plants & animals. We think of them when we throw coins into wishing wells, or leave offerings for “The Tooth Fairy”. As such, we tend to think of them as imaginary characters from stories for children, rather than considering their ancient & magickal roots. Modern Ideas About Fairies & Their True Nature The modern idea of fairies as beneficent spirits isn’t completely accurate. It creates an idea of fairies as delicate, fragile creatures with good intentions towards people & nothing better to do than to “serve” humans. In fact, fairies are elemental beings that have their own spiritual paths & unique motivations. Sometimes the paths of fairies align with ours & we can work with them to facilitate our spiritual growth & pursue our goals. But if they are approached (through magick, meditation or energy work) with the intention to use them for personal gain, they are quite capable of fighting back against that kind of manipulation – just as you might if a person did that to you! So when you’re approaching fairies, it’s a good idea to start out by recognising they are as real & authentic as you are. You wouldn’t walk up to a stranger in the street & demand that they help you manifest greater prosperity in your life; if you did, you might expect some kind of reaction or consequence. If you picked the wrong stranger, you might very well end up injured! And fairies are the same. Fairy Curses & How to Approach Fairies to Avoid Conflict Fairies are credited with the ability to sour your milk, cause bad luck, make you or your animals sick, & in extreme cases, steal your soul. Such malignancy seems very much at odds with the way we portray fairies today! But I believe that when you’re working with any kind of spiritual being, it’s important to understand that you can develop a relationship with them, but you need to respect them & approach them with caution, kindness & consideration. Friendships between humans & humans, or humans & fairies are built on mutual respect & develop over time. So be patient & maintain good intentions when connecting with them. Fairies In Nature & Leaving Gifts for Them If you feel connected to the natural world or spend a lot of time in nature, you may have felt the presence of “The Little People” when you’re alone in the wilderness. They are curious but also protective of their homes so sometimes people report experiencing the presence of the fey with a sense that they weren’t welcome or that they were being watched. Because of this territorial & protective tendency, humans developed the habit of leaving gifts for fairies to demonstrate their respect & assure them of their good intentions. In the coven I was originally trained in (back in the early 90s), we always saved some of the food blessed during the ritual for the fairies & elemental beings that had shared the sacred space with us. Often we’d excitedly run & dance around the garden after the ritual calling out our thanks & celebrating with them. They were considered friends & allies in our magickal work. But they were always acknowledged, respected & included. Fairies in Energy Healing & Spiritual Development Those pursuing a healing path often develop their psychic senses over time & are able to experience deeper connection & awareness of elemental beings. This allows friendships with the fairies to build & in a mutually supportive way. For example, the fairies may assist with healing or magickal work, & in return, you might offer energy healing to them or the plants they’re connected with; you might make offerings of food, crystals or incense to them; or simply converse with them while meditating in nature. If you feel drawn to strengthen your connection to the fairies, I recommend doing this by inviting them to connect with you – rather than “commanding” or “invoking” them. Approach them as you would a person.
