Fairy Altars

This is Misty, coming to you from this mystical land we share with the fey! Today I'm going to teach you how to make a faery altar. I call it an altar, you can call it a home, shrine, peace place, ect. Anyway, here we go.

First, you need a table. Any size will do, but try to get a wooden one, not metal.

 Next, get some pretty rocks, like this geode and crystal.

 Now, take something that reminds you of magick. I chose this enchanted angel necklace. (The enchantment is a simple protection spell, It's at the end)

 Now get a jar or two.

 Now get a really small plate. If you're like me, and you don't have any plates that are small enough (working on that:)), the lid to a small container will do.

 Now, put out something the faeries can use, like this faery-sized acorn tea set I bought. (Sorry, I can't link you to the source, they don't have a website, or a store!)

 Now get a bit of nature that you've enchanted, and that you've made pretty, like this painted rock I enchanted awhile back to attract fey. (That spell is also at the end)

 Now get something pure, like this bottle of pure silver.

 Now get something to represent plants and animals, like this wooden butterfly and this paper flower.

 Now get something to represent faeries, like this pretty heart container of faery dust.

 Now get something to represent light, like this candle. (Note: DO NOT LIGHT CANDLE UNLESS IT IS DEFINITELY SAFE TO DO SO!)

 Now, take a pretty jar, and put some honeyed milk in it, as a gift or a thank-you-(if they helped with a spell or something)-for the faeries.

 Now get some food, like these grapes for the same reason(s) as the milk and put them on the plate/lid. (Note: Some good things to leave for the faeries are bread, especially barley bread, and any kind of dairy. Remember to refresh them though, or else blech :P)

Add anything else meaningful to you, except bells, because faeries don't like the sound of bells, and you're done!

Now, here are those spells:
The protection spell:
With every move we make,
Comes a risk we have to take,
Protect the wearer and all her grace,'
Bring her to safety's warm embrace.

The Faery Attracting Spell:
Faeries near and faeries far,
Though I know not where you are,
Flit and flutter about with ease,
Come to me and help me please,
With all my magick and all my love,
Fly straight here like a dove,
This pretty stone I now enchant,
To bring you near when I can't.

Finally, I am now announcing the opening of my new page: The Nature Spirit Encyclopedia! In it I will list all our magickal friends, adding a new one each day. Go check it out!

Fairy Tip: Leaving honeyed milk out sometimes brings faeries to your garden, or brownies to your home!
