For the Love of Fairies
I do believe in Fairies …… I do, I do.
Let me tell you how the spirits had a way in helping me come to this conclusion. A few weeks ago Teresa Arney, from Pathways Healing center, approached me with an id3a for the Health and Harmony faire. At this year’s event she wanted to include a fairy garden! To get me excited she showed me all her photographs of orb’s and fairies. You could actually see their wings fluttering.
I, like most adults had forgotten about the fairies, so to refresh my memory I check out a book at Pathways. The one that called to me was Fairies 101, by Doreen Virtue. After reading the book I went out and started picking up trash on our Sunday drives in the wilderness.
Did you know that God sent Angles to be guardians of people and he sent Fairies to be the guardians over the earth and animals? The fairies are many times misunderstood; they’re loving creations of god. Fairies can be judgmental they help people who are kind to the environment and animals. They withhold aid and communication from those who mistreat the planet and its inhabitants. They don’t except you to be perfect at recycling or become an environmentalist, they just want you to try your best. If you do, the fairies will do anything to help you. Their assistance is reliable, safe, and very magical!
So in the book fairies 101, there is a chapter on how to use the fairies help in selling your house. We have been trying to sell our house so I asked my husband Dan to read that chapter in the book. After he finished that chapter he flipped the book shut and started reading it from front to back. He believes, he does, and he does. Dan now buys M & M’s ever week just for the fairies (he probable eats one or two.) He has asked them to let us know if they are with us. We now have mushrooms in our flower garden, a sure sign fairies have moved in. And you should see all the Hugh butterflies we now have all thanks to the fairies. Another important part of believing in fairies is you have to share with your friends your belief in them.
We started to share our belief in fairies with our neighbor Steve Jackson. We made a campground in Steve’s valley and started spending lot of time with nature often talking about fairies. Steve knew that if he wanted to see the fairies he would have share stories about fairies to; he is a custodian at Sunny Side Elementary School he told the librarian Nancy Logan about his Crazy neighbors who believed in fairies. She borrowed a book to Steve for us to read, Fairy Houses, by Barry Kane. We had guest from Wisconsin visiting and we shared the book with them and told them we had to make a faire house.
We were all so inspired by that book that we couldn’t wait to make our own fairy house. It took four people two hours to build our house. Thank you, Nadine and Charlie Bruenig for all your inspiring ideas. Nadine found most of the materials we used just walking in the yard. And Charlie, WOW ….just check out the fire place side of the house this was all done by a 25 year old. He burned the board the the fire pit would sit on.. He burned the tips of the logs in the fire pit and added dried flowers to make it look like flames. The chairs are sea shells tipped upside down with legs under them and check out his tree.
The fairy house was a big hit at the Health and Harmony faire everyone loved it. By the end of the first day we had orders to fill for faire houses. The circle wasn’t’ complete just yet. Nancy, the librarian who borrowed the book to us had a class on fairy house building last week and invited us to bring our house and talk to the children about fairies. All of the children were right upfront staring into the house while the parents were in the back of the room thinking I was CRAZY. By the end of my presentation EVERYONE was glued to the house.
Now it was time for the children to build their own fairy houses. They made our house seem like nothing when they let their imaginations run wild. Most of them took their materials home so they could continue to work on them. Others left them in the buses at school so the fairies would have a home there too. We have given fairy houses to a few people so they can share their designs and stories with you too.
The fairies remind us: Life is joyful and fun, Nature needs and deserves our respect, animals are our brothers and sisters, everything is alive, Play is very important and you can magically manifest everything you need.
Thank you Teresa for awakening the inner child that couldn’t wait to come out and play.
