Fairies and Flowers
There are times I like to sit back and think and meditate on fairies...I found this in some of my notes... don't know the author... just wanted to share....

Fairies and Flowers

* Bluebells * Said to attract faeries to dance in your garden. On
Beltane eve, make an ankle bracelet of "Bluebells" and "jingle" bells
to attract helpful fae folk to you.

* Clover * A sacred faery plant, clovers of all kinds will attract
them. Lay seven grains of wheat on a four-leafed clover to see the
Faery.

* Elderberry * Used to make Faery wine, these berries can be burned on
a fire to invite the Good Folk to a gathering. Make a homemade brew of
Elderberry Wine and you are sure to have some thirsty visitors. It is
said that if a human drinks the wine, she will be able to see the
Faery. If a human should drink Elderberry wine from the same goblet as
a Faery being, he will be able to see them forever after.

* Elecampagne * Also known as Elfswort. This root can be scattered
around the home to attract the Sidhe. It can be added to any magick or
spell to invoke Faery blessing.

* Foxglove * The source of the modern heart drug Digitalis, Foxglove
can have seriously dangerous results if taken internally. DO NOT
INGEST!! Instead, plant Foxglove near your front door to invite the
Faery in. Put a dried sprig of Foxglove in a talisman to keep you
surrounded in Faery light.

* Heather * Heather is said to ignite faery passions and open portals
between their world and our own. Make an offering of Heather on
"Beltane" eve to attract good fae to your garden or house.

* Lilac * The sweet scent is said to draw Fae spirits to your garden.
Lilac and primroses for midsummer's eve, will please the Fae.

* Mistletoe * The most sacred herb of the Druids. Mistletoe is a
magickal activator. In Faery spells, use a dash of Mistletoe taken on
Summer Solstice to empower your workings with Faery magick.

* Milkweed * Both Monarch butterflies and fairies like milkweed. If
Milkweed is planted in a Witches garden, the fey will always be in the
area. The silky tassels of the Milkweed pods can be added to a dream
pillow to not only make it softer but also to make you dream of
fairies. In the Autumn when the pods are bursting and the fluffy seeds
are flying across the fields, a wish is granted for each seed that can
be caught and then released again.

* Peony * Peony seeds were once used to protect children from faeries.
A garland of the seeds were placed around the child's neck to keep
them safe from kidnapping. In this day and age, with faery contact so
drastically diminished, I doubt that anyone would want to don this
faery banishing herb unless they were living smack dab in the middle
of a circle of crazed Fae!!

* Poppies * Said to invoke the faery into your dreams Make a dream
pillow of fresh poppies to entice the fae to your dreams.

* Primrose * When planted in a garden or hung dried on the front door,
primroses will attract the company of Faeries. If you have them
growing under your care, do not let them die! The Faery will be deeply
offended by your carelessness. Primroses are great in container
gardens. Tie a pink ribbon around your container of Primroses while
chanting; "Sacred roses, hear my cry for your protection, this I tie"

* Roses * Roses attract the Faery to a garden. Their sweet scent will
lure elemental spirits to take up residence close by. Roses can be
used in Faery love spells. When performing the spell, sprinkle rose
petals under your feet and dance softly upon them while asking the
Faery for their blessing on your magick. Roses are loved by the fey so
you can plant Roses in your garden to attract fairies. Wild Roses are
best for this purpose and you need to say the following spell as you
plant your baby Rose bush: "I ask a fairy from the wild, To come and
tend this wee rose-child. A babe of air she thrives today, Root her
soul in the Goddesses' good clay. Fairies make this twig your bower,
By your magic shall time see her flower!"

* Thyme * Wearing thyme will increase your ability to see the Sidhe.
Sprinkle it at the base of your door, and on window sills to invite
the Faery to enter your home!
