A GUIDE FOR ATTRACTING FAERIES TO YOUR GARDEN-2012

'A GUIDE FOR ATTRACTING FAERIES TO YOUR GARDEN'
Many plants will attracted butterflies, hummingbirds & faeries - Some of the gardens favorites of the faeries are bee balm, sunflowers, honeysuckle, fernleaf, yarrow, summer lilac, red valerian, daisies, cosmos, rosemary, thyme, purple coneflower, pincushin, scabiosa, fresh lavender & heliotrope, nasturtiums, pansies, snapdragons, blue columbine, foxgloves, and there are many more undoubtedly that you can use.  You can use what works best in your own gardens too. Another way I have found that helps your garden in attracting faeries -  Is attracting your tiny friends with birdbaths, birdfeeders, hummingbird feeders too. You see the faeries are attracted to all the wild life, mostly the hummingbirds, butterflies and small birds.They seem to enjoy the same habitat as the butterflies, smaller birds, hummingbirds, even the honey bee's. All the planted flowers that I have stated above & the herbs, you will find another great attraction for the faeries - faeries love the sights and sounds of the water & flowers. Consider adding a small fountain, waterfall or even a fishpond in your garden. Garden Art statues of faeries will also attract the wee ones. Shiny windchimes, gazing globes and colorful garden flags with bright shiny colors in them. All these things can help you entice gnomes , elves & faeries to come into your garden. 



~Don't forget that the wee ones(the faeries) are nature loving and enjoy their fun. Plan to leave part of your garden a bit unkempt. This small area will make fairies feel welcome. It doesn't have to be a very large space, but having this one little space will give joy to your fairy friends-


~More fairy's favorite plants & flowers~
Fairy's Favorite Plants & Flowers-
ROSES-
Fairies love roses for their smell & beauty. If you would like to make fairies welcome - plant roses in your garden & burn rose oil around your patio.

BLUEBELLS- 
Bluebells are loved by the fairies as well. Fairies often use the flowers to adorn their horses. Don't pick the bluebells or step on them. A field of blue bells may have much faery enchantment.

WILLOWS-
The willow is a tree with a distinct personality . It can be heard weeping at night, but most commonly, it uproots and follow lone travelers at night. There are also fairy  spirits that live in these trees.

ELDERS-
The Elder trees is a sacred tree to the fairies, along with the Ash, Holly & the Oak. It is said that this tree is the protector  of water spirits.
The Oak tree - Look for Oak groves, as fairies tend to love the Oak Tree *the most*.  If you find a Oak Tree.   The old Oak forest- you just might find a portal hole in the base of one of these grand trees. And find yourself in another world.
ASH-
This is a lovely tree that the faeries often use for wands- It has healing qualities too.
FAERY RING MUSHROOM-
Fairies dance all night long & in the morning, rings of mushrooms maybe seen. They are the boundaries of the dancing circle. Be careful not to step inside the circle , as you might enter the fairy Realm and you'll be stuck there for ever. 
FAERY FOOD-
YOU SHOULD LEAVE FOOD OUT FOR THE FAIRIES AS  A OFFERING  & GIFTS. IN SOME COUNTRIES, THE LOCAL FAERIES,, WILL BECOME ANGRY IF FOOD IS NOT LEFT AND THEY WILL CURSE THE HOME. IF MILK IS SPILLED YOU SHOULD NOT WORRY ABOUT IT. JUST THINK  IT IS AN OFFERING FOR THE FAIRIES, - THEY DON'T WORRY ABOUT SUCH THINGS- AT LEAST HERE IN THE US. 
FAERIE KIN-
Faerie kin can be divided into numerous classes or races. Faerie is a term for many different beings usually possessing strong magical powers. Many fairies have a human form but some have a animal  form too. They use these forms even now.
THE REALM OF FAERIE-













Where is the faerie realm? It is position is elusive. It is sometimes just over the horizon and sometimes beneath our feet! Yet there have been periods when faerie were to be in a  actual geographical place, it a parallel world, although even this has tended to shift a times. For instance, the Welsh first though it was to the north of their mountains, that had a faerie. And then in the mysterious rocky and misty west peninsular of Pembrokeshire coast. Later it moved to an island lying in the Irish channel of the Pembrokeshire coast. It was seen sometimes by sailors, & even landed on but would then disconcertingly and disappear. never the less, its Fae inhabitants were said to be frequent visitors to the markets of Laugharne and Milford Haven Avalon is probably the most famous of Fae islands.

    ~The final step in attracting faeries to come to your garden is very simple. Ask them to come to your garden. If you give conscious energy to this event, it will happen. And most of all BELIEVE.

Portals to Fae Worlds-2013

'Portals to Fae Worlds'
Faeries are able to cross into our world and we can't be transported to their land of promise as it is spoken of in some ways. The Irish poet W.B.Yeats imaged this crossing of two world as a magnetic pushing - pulling attraction for one another. We need  the Fae world because it represents everything that is possible beyond our routine lives and offers transformation & enlightening creativity.They need us to bring them to life, but the two can never fuse - we are as unlike as day and night  - And like day & night we define each other.

For those brave enough to seek faeries, elves, and other magical creatures! There are doorways to these other worlds even today in the 21th century. 

Sometimes we might stumble upon them. They might even be a opened to admit entry to those the Fae need; fiddlers, midwives are good examples of humans that they may need- 
In modern Fae tales, it is the child who reaches to the other world- but more and more, I've found the adults are looking too. The world is not a kind and fun loving place in these modern days of the 21th century. And its not just children looking for an escape. So they to find that old Oak Tree base in the forest or maybe its in your local park. It seems that everyone is curious & are brave to walk through these different worlds, portal hole & realms.

There are many examples throughout the world that humans have found their way to the world of faeries- They are all around us it just they have evolved in a way that the human eye can see them like in ancient times - a million years ago. They are waiting for us to find a way in.

For one might be in Welsh Ireland who might find a door in a rock by a faerie lake given sufficient curiosity and resolution, he opens it and is conducted along a secret passage to an faeries realm-

In America the Iroquois summons little spirits by knocking on a decreed large stone & there are even more who tried to test other methods- German legend has it that touching a primrose on a floral faerie door will open the route to their castle-

Some reported seeing a door, ajar on the  hilltops, earth mounds, or stone tombs -  are perhaps  places where you would see faerie folk dressed for a celebration in the candle lit interior- the figure of British legend child Roland enters elfland on a quest to save his sister by circling a green terraced mound three times widershins, against the tuning of the sun, repeating reach time the words-
"Open, door! open, door!
And let me cone in,"

Silver & White Dragons-2013

Silver & White Dragons~
White Dragons-
White Dragons are among the wisest dragons there are. Perhaps because they are associated with the light and righteousness. Though White Dragons are considered wise, most stories tell them as evil as well, because they never tell the truth. It is also the meaning or Symbol of - morning for the Eastern White Dragons & said to be an omen of death. But the Chinese did not deem the White Dragon evil, they were symbols of the South.
White Dragons - Ice Dragons - Glacial Dragons are physically the smallest of the dragons even the Black Dragons- They appear in shades from white to grey & Ice blue. And in Arctic environments. This appearance serves as a good camouflage. White Dragons are physically distinguished by several features. Their heads and necks seem to bend seamlessly into one another and their wings appear somewhat frayed along the edges. They have flap of skin, called dewlap, lined with spines beneath their chins. Their heads are very streamlined and have a high crest on top of their skulls. They have a crisp, vaguely chemical odor to them-
 White Dragons toes are spaced more widely than other dragons - with barbed claws to aid movement on the ice. Their very thin eyelids prevent snow blindness when observing the arctic landscapes-
They have an icy breath that can freeze an unprepared foe solid in a instant. They also have exceptional memories & will often hunt down beings who have cross them no matter how long it  may take- They are not cruel as the black dragons and are not as ferocious as the Red dragons but they are still one not to make angry.






 Silver Dragons-
Silver Dragons are thought to be very reflective and thoughtful.They are also the second most powerful of the metallic dragons. They are true friends to all- The Silver Dragons enjoy the company of humans & elves so much that they often take the form of a human or elf, and live among them for the majority of their lives. 
It should be noted that Silvers -like all dragons believe themselves to be the most superior creatures in the world. However apart from the ability to fly, which they enjoy greatly, they tend to prefer the physical forms of humans or Elves  for everyday life. Aft first glance the Silver dragon appeals very much like the White dragon. Their wings curved rather than the White dragons. Also they have two Talons on their wings rather than the single Talon of most dragons. The Silver dragons also have a beautiful Frill that begins at the top of its head and flows all the way down its neck & body to the tip of its tail. The frill is Silver toward the body, then fading to a purple hue at the edge. They have two long smooth silver horns with black tips pointing up, back from their heads. And they have a pronounced sharp frill under their chin which has the rough appearance of a goatee. Kinda weird Ah... Get this the Silver Dragon smells like rain. Go figure!
They are very intelligent - more so than humans - extremely powerful - Breathtaking to look At - And is one of my favorite dragons. 
The Silver Dragon is regal and statuesque. An unusual trait they offer is the love of human dining. And it's not what you might think. It's not the usual dragon dining on or eating humans. Remember they love to be in the form of a human for the majority of their lives! So This unusual dining that the Silver Dragon offers to his beloved humans or my guess to the elves too. The Dragon will alternate his form to part take in these human dining feasts. I'm sure being the eloquent dragon that he is; he probably picks Royalty Kin party's. And he probably even host some of these parties being that he lives a majority part of his live as a human or elf. He probably has a castle of his own. 
As to his dragon powers - The Silver Dragon is an amazing dragon, besides his love to be a human form. 
I have found that so far he is the only dragon that has two different breath weapons-

They have the same extreme cold breath weapon as the White Dragon+And paralyzing gas breath weapon.
So for a dragon that loves manlike or elven kin, one has to wonder with his most dangerous two breath weapons. And his love to be around them so much. Makes you kinda wonder. Yet still the Silver dragon is still my favorite dragon.

I will be going over other types of dragons in my blog. As I find more that are interesting.

'The Shur - Drow'-2013

The Shur-Drow-
The shur-drow are a deadly crossbreed of a drow & a demon. They are commanders and magicians of the highest order. They hold no drow as their master. They consider only the Gods to be their equal or better. Shur-drows are considered by surface dwellers, Yet few elves, faeries, pixes or even human have survived an encounter with an shur-drow. To be touched by one is like the Assimar  & its demon usually means death-

Personalities ~
The shur-drow are beyond the word vain, even more so than Ye - random - Drow. They are ambitious & will not let anything stand in their way to achieve what they want. Being it going to the toilet of the world of domination..
~Just funny shur-drow humor but in their own way, it can be very dangerous in other ways.

Appearance~The shur-drow is much more variable than that of the Drow. Though most shur-drow's sport the obsidian/darkgray skin of their cousins  -Drow's. Though really & fancy combination between a shur -drow and demon is possible. Often resulting in monstrously tall humanoids with wings, horns,fangs &claws. Their hair & eye color is variable, though it is most likely to be that of one of their parents or a combination of both.

Relation with other Races
They have a general better than thou attitude toward everything and everybody. They only see the Gods themselves as their equals or better. They take order from no one but themselves & will ignore everyone that tries to tell them what to do. - If they don't kill the individual slowly and painfully first.

Society & Leadership~
Their society is much like that of their demon kin-
Utter Chaos -
Those that are the strongest, the vilest  & the cunniest rule their ranks - Be that a male or female or something in between! Now that's kinda creep & interesting at the same time.

Language & Shur - Drow Names -
Most shur -drow people speak both their abbssal tonque & that of the drow. And some  communities of the shur-drow are known to develop their own dialect between both languages'. Names & such are often a combination of demon and the drow names mingled together to form on a nasty combination. Nicknames such as 'The bloody' or 'The dread'- these are more the the common names.

Shur-drow  Traits:
Shur-drow's are medium sized with a base speed of 30feet if on foot. If they can fly its about 60ft.
They are immune to sleep, poison & electricity spells & the effects of the enchantment spells of their cousin the drows. They also have an resistance to cold, fire and acid. They can communicate telepathically with any type of creature within a 100foot radius that knows their language-
They have light blindness - Lightblindness & abrupt exposure to bright light gives a certain type of penalty. Their favor class is the Black Guard - 


In The World of the Shur-Drow~
The first one is Malaggar Anvar, He is the lord of the Shur-Drow in a ruin near Gor-gornoth. He is a crossbreed of a Drow and a Balor. This makes him roughly  6 feet tall & sometimes even taller. He also is known as a Malaggar the Drad or 'The DreadOne'.
There is a Second Lord called Linneria Morriganna Baern ~ 
Idrill - Now she is a crossbreed of a Drow and a Succubus (you might have seen tis fae in the T.V. show 'Lostgirl')
What she looks like -  Linneria Morriganna Bearn or Idrill - her shor name - Looks much like any other Drow woman But she's much more round shape in the curves then your average drow woman. She has no wings or Talons like that of the Lord Malaggar Anvar - But she does have the seductive powers of the Succubus - and the look of any average drow woman. 
Her last name is combined became she is married to the High Warlord and Monarch Gor-gornoth -Malaggar -Anvar~ 
So - Her name is Meldor Istorr Idrill - the High warlord And Monarch of Gor - gornoth.

Notes~














 The Shur -drows are a little different than the Drows. They are a cross-breed of a drow & demon. And  more times then not, it is not the drow's choosing to join the demons. Since drows live deep in the underground they do come across evil duellers all the time. These demons usually prey on the out casts of the large drow cities. Ones that are alone with no family - no hope. So the demon will say that they will give them a better life if you will join their people. This is where you get a Shur-drow. And lots of Slaves. But over time of the cross - breeding of the Drow & Demons - A New group of people were created and developed their own power. Their own Commanders, Magicians, House of High Order, & held no Drow or Demon as their Master - They considered themselves as their own race - As Gods themselves - equal or better than their counter parts.
