Here is some of the research that I have accumulated by studying the fae/fairies. I am not an expert on this, so if anything is incorrect feel free to leave some feedback. Note: working with the fae is not for beginners.
Working With Fae
- Fairy offerings include: honey, cake, sweet milk, anything sweet, or lighting candles for them, burning things in their honor
- Working with tree spirits: give them offerings of water or moon water, study them, give them nutrients, meditate with them, when you see a damaged tree do a ritual/pray/ceremony/funeral
- Honey can: get you out of trouble with fairies, gain favor, attract fairies, be used as an offering, prevent fairies from giving you troubles, have your fav crystal returned to you
Fae Rules/Etiquette
- Never say thank you (fairies consider this to be rude). Instead say: you have my gratitude, I am very grateful, I am honored, I am appreciative. Or show them by giving offerings, leaving them a gift, or doing an act of service
- Taking care of the Earth is important to the fae
- Be kind to animals
- Never say Iām sorry. Instead say: my apologies or I express regret
- Never accept gifts from the fae (gifts from fae are not free). If you accept a gift from fae, you owe them. If you give a gift to fae they still owe you. But they might return the favor by not giving you troubles. They decide when and how to repay the debt.
- Always let them borrow items. Fairies may borrow items for as long as they want or keep them. They will always pay you back but in a way you might not expect.
- Never lie to a fairy (fairies canāt lie)
- Always keep your word
- When you dispose of dirty water outside, let the fae know out loud so you donāt get them dirty (fairies hate filf), and keep it in a small area, donāt chuck the water everywhere.
- Donāt brag about your experiences with the fae. Always ask for permission first.
- Donāt spy on fae, if you want to see a fairy ask politely. If this rule is broken the consequences can be severe. Fairies donāt like to be photographed.
- Donāt give a fairy your full name because this allows them to control you.
- Donāt eat fairy food, this can make you trapped in the fairy realm
- Never carry cold iron on you (iron is lethal to fairies)
- Donāt step inside a fairy ring (this is lethal)
- Always be polite and respectful
- Always keep honey on you
