"The river gives me life. Its waters sustain me. While it flows, I live. I feed not on flesh and water, but memories and emotions. I was once human now I am a legend. The humankind have a name for me and my kind, They call us the Sidhe, the fairy folk. Sometimes they whisper fairy woman, bean sidhe, banshee." -Legend of the Banshee; Irish ghosts and hauntings.
The magick of a faery witch comes from within, resonating a deep understanding of and communication with nature, its elements and its signs. Most often you will find that they lead a solitary existance shying away from covens and large groups, finding it more preferable to work theyr own magick within the faery realm. This alliance with the faery realm, its psychic impulses and energy are part of her daily life, can be difficult for others to sometimes understand leaving the faery witch sometimes lonely. Walking with one foot in each worlde is a very hard choice and difficult thing to balance and maintain, only the strong and pure of heart should proceed.
The faery witch has travelled between both worldes forming a natural psychic ability to both see and feel faery and spirtits, the trait also called fey. This magickal relationship between the witch and the faery becomes a close bond and can be very enticing. She surrounds herself with nature, the animal kingdom and beautiful things, occaionally threatening to overwhelm her and her household.
Animals are instictively trusting of the faery witch, they will be drawn to them oft times with curiosity, but also to convey messages from the spirit world and fae. Entrusted with the gift of not only second sight, faery witches are also charmers and healers. A desire for mystery, magick and mythology she appears to others as different, seeming otherworldly herself.
Faery witches are visionaries who express themselves through creativity because it makes theyr soul sing and feel connected to life. They are the story tellers, the painters and the poets dancing through life, bringing into our worlde the beauty of the fae; be it light or dark. For they know that both is needed as much as the other to maintain the balance and keep order.
Those who are born with fae blood flowing through theyr veins and those who ally themselves with these magickal and sometimes mischevious creatures, create a special aura around theyr being. Exuding beauty, glamour, joy, sexuality and charm even as she grows older. Seemingly, fragile in appearance when in fact they are much stronger a faery witch attracts many a dark or light energy or entity.
As they become much wiser in this worlde, she will realise that theyr are people who wish to keep a faery witch for themselves, consciously or not. Learning protection from psychic attacks and negative people is a must for they may one day threaten to overwhelm and possess the faery witch for her unique qualities and energy.
Enticing the fae...
Mistletoe is a magickal activator. When working with the faery to create a spell, incorporate a dash of the mistletoe flower plucked on summer solstice. This will empower your spells working faery magick, but don't forget to thank the plant first when taking the flower and tell it what it will be used for.
Heather is a most useful tool when working with the fae, making an offering of heather on Beltane eve will attract the good faery into your garden. It opens portals between our worlde and that of the fae, and made into a tincture used to cleanse your crystal ball enhances the visions shown.
Roses and lilacs planted in your garden not only looks pretty, the sweet scent lures the elementals who are unable to resist the beauty of the flowers.
Wearing thyme will increase your ability to see the faery. Sprinkle it at the base of your door, and on window sills to invite them in and make the faerys welcome.
The holey stone is said to be a key or doorway into the faery kingdom. It is also believed to hold the power to bind a faery to one's service for a given period of time.
Faery Charms by Lady Wilde ...
-Ancient Legends, Mystic Charms and Superstitions of Ireland, 1888.
How to have money always:
Take the feather of a black cock, go to the crossing points of three faery paths (ley line), and while holding the feather and a gold coloured coin, call the name of the goddess Aine three times, to bring you everlasing prosperity.
How to go invisible;
Gather the dandelion plant on the first full moon after the flower heads have appeared. Call on the powers of the goddess Bridget and ask her to grant your wish to be invisible. Walk three times right-hand wise around a sacred well. Scatter the dandelion plant around the well as you walk all the time wishing to be invisible.
In the in between times when day fades into night or spring melts into summer and at the in between
places where paths converge, a veil is parted between the worlds and one may enter the Otherworld. The world of the faery. But use much caution Dear Ones! For you have entered The Faery Crossing and none return unchanged. -Bendyth Y Mamau

To summon a fayrie...
- by ms ashmole, 1406.
An excellent way to gett a fayrie, but for myself I call Margarett Barrance but this will obtaine any one that is not already bound. First get a broad square cristall or venus glasse in length and breadth 3 inches, then lay that glasse or cristall in the blood of a white henne 3 wednesdayes or 3 fridayes: then take it out wash it with holy aquae and fumigate it: then take 3 hazle sticks or wands of an yeare groth, pill them fayre and white, and make soe long as you can write the spirits name, or fayries name, which you call 3 times , on every sticke being made flatt one side, then bury them under some stone hill wheres you suppose fayrie's haunt, the wednesdays before you call she, and the fridaye following take them uppe and calle she, and the fridaye following tae them uppe and calle she at 8 or 3 or 10 of the clock which be goode planetts howres for that turne: but when you call, be in clean Life and turne thy face towards the East, when you have she bind her to that stone or glasse.
An unguent to annoynt under the eyelids evnnge and morninge, but especially when you call, or find your sighte not perfect. Putt sallet oyle into a viall glasse but first wash it with rose water, and marygold flower water, the flowers be gathered to the east, wah it til the oyle come white, then putt it into the glasse, ut supra, and put there to the buds of hollyhocke, the flowers of marygold: the flowers or topps of wilde time, the budds of younge hazle, and the time must be gatherred neare the side of a hille where fayries use to go oft, and the grasse of a fayrie throne, there, all these putt into the oyle, the glasse, and sett it to dissolve 3 dayes in the sonne, and thou keep it for thy use; ut supra.
