New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| Color of the day: White
Incense of the day: Alder Whether you dwell in the country or the city, you can make your residence more appealing to the fairy folk with a few thoughtful steps that can be done in your yard or in outdoor planters on your deck or balcony. Cultivate a few attractive plants-bluebells, lily of the valley, ferns, cowslips, or rosemary. Within these plantings, embed a small, attractive bowl as a place for the fairies to bathe and frolic. Tie a few tiny silver bells onto the plantings. Add a couple of dried milkweed pods, complete with milkweed down, for the fairies to use as beds. A simple but lovely fairy house can be made from a birdhouse and added into the fairy garden. Remember to leave gifts of shiny glass beads, sequins, silver charms, or the like. The fairies love sparkly gifts just as much as we do. Above all else, remember to speak words of welcome and invitation to them whenever you are near the fairy garden. |
