In this section we're going to talk about altars and spells.....
**Faery altar
This altar is where you can focus your energy and will become a sacred place for you. You can connect and work with the Fae anywhere but to have a space dedicated to them and also to the spell work you wish to carry out will keep the energy you want to direct/focus on in one place.
A altar is personal to you, you can dress it up or dress it down, it's all about personal choice. Sometimes I will lay down a cloth with a corresponding colour to the magick I am going to perform, other items you might want to consider are candles, incense, herbs, faery ornaments, flowers, coloured pebbles, sparkly items, anything that you feel will heighten your spell or if your altar is just for decoration then anything faery.
Again, the layout is totally your decision, you cannot go wrong...why not gather some bits and pieces and have a play about with the layout.
The faery energy surrounding your altar will increase as you raise your faery vibration and soon, you'll feel their energy around you and in lots of places as you become more aware, more attuned to them.
**Faery spells
Spells are personal, that's very important to understand. There is nothing wrong in using another person's spell but it can have a cold feeling about it and it might not be as powerful as a spell that comes from your soul.
Have a look in Part two and choose a King or Queen you might like to work with...gather your altar items and as you dress your altar, think about what it is you want to ask for, what do you want to bring about in your life...your thoughts and emotions will infuse themselves in the sacred space you are now creating.
You might like to write your spell words down or just speak as they come to you....they can rhyme or not....these are your words so you get to use them as you wish.
Before you work your spell though your altar should be ready, if lighting candles please be careful, accidents do happen! once you are comfortable then you may begin. Be clear about your intention, be precise, believe the words you speak, the words you have written. Here is just an example of how to start and finish.
"I call upon the faery queen Caelia" followed by what you are asking and then always finish with some sort of thank you....simple as that.
I blow out my candles, some don't like blowing them but rather snuff them out.
*******before you carry out any spells make sure you ground and protect yourself, see below...
Protection~
Imagine a blue bubble around yourself, take a few moments to let it completely cover you. Make sure you spend a couple of mins protecting yourself, you can call in your guides, angels for extra protection.
Grounding~
“You are sat comfortably upon the green grass, all around you are many different trees, you have great Oaks, Willow, Birch & Rowan, each tree standing proud. You can smell the moss and the scented Jasmine, Honeysuckle and Bluebells, look around you and take in all that you see.
You notice a small Earth Faery walking towards you, take a good look at your new friend, what do they look like, what clothes are they wearing .......the Earth faery now stands in front of you and the faery turns their face to the side and you follow their stare, you are sat within a circle of various crystals. Each crystal is 1 inch above the ground and they each have a different energy. These energies now start to join together, forging a strong single energy, this powerful energy enters at your crown and you can feel this as it engulfs your entire body. As the energy reaches your feet it will dig deep into Mother Earth, finding a anchor in which to wrap itself around twice before making it's way back up through the soil and into your body. You are now grounded.”
