Flower Fairies/Butterfly Fairies in your Garden

Flower Fairies-Butterfly Fairies in your Garden-
Butterfly Fairies are sometimes called the moss people which I have done a done a post some
time ago on. Since I wasn't able to get as much information on the Butterfly fairies I thought
I would included the moss People post for you folks that hadn't had a chance to read the post.


MOSS PEOPLE- 10/13/2013
May be found in dense woodlands in the summer in 
Germanic Lands and Switzerland. They are beautiful
creatures with Butterfly wings & lithe bodies.
Other names for them are Butterfly faeries &flying leaves.
They are shy of people and it is not known how to contact them.
But they are good luck to have around. So try calling to to them 
in a friendly voice and offer them some fresh milk
Moss Fairy
Butterfly Fairies 
Originally the Butterfly Fairy were from Switzerland and possibility Germany too.
Some have said that they've even come from the Islands and Africa too.   These lovey
creatures have the most beautiful butterfly wings that are attached to their bodies. Some of 
the wings are so detailed in different colours, that if you were able to see these amazing
fairies, you would see colors you had never seen before and would probably be in a hypnotic 
trans just by watching them flutting around you!

They come in both female and male forms that are slender and very

human like. They are
quite shy. And as I said before human sightings are very rare, especially as more woodland 
Moss Fairy
areas are disappearing very year to developments. They are leery of us and will avoid us when
every possible. They often mistaken for butterflies (real) especially the Monarch.  They are experts at hiding and like to hid in mossy,
dark areas. They generally don't aid human like that of other 
fairies and some Elves, but it they come to trust you 
You! are in good luck to have one of these beautiful Faeries
around. Should you happen upon a butterfly fairy. Move 
very very! slowly and make no attempt to 
capture them. Let them know that you are are friend
and mean them no harm.
So next time you go into your garden take care when you 
happen to see any butterflies, you might just might have a very
sly and timid butterfly faery in your flowers, If you do
It could be a very good thing for you and   
your family bring good fortune to all!

Fairies
Next to the Woodland fairies, the Flower fairies and 
other garden faeries are the most popular and most common. 
These spirits have been playing in our gardens since the first ones 
where ever planted, and reports of the fey folk have come in 
from all over the European countries, including the far eastern 
and Southern Hemisphere too. In short, they are very much
common legend all over the world.
Ask any avid gardener about these fairies and 
although they may have not seen one as yet but they 
all truly believe that these shy beauty's are more likey if seen 
to be in the brush or less tended areas of a garden. These are the 
places we haven't gotten around to weeding yet, where they climb roses and
run amuck you could say! And this is 
where the Butterfly fairies prosper. In fact, it si widely believed that 
you can tell a fairy by the color of they butterfly, as some are simply butterlies in disguise!
The areas that we consider weeds are the best places for the fairies to live in our
gardens, along with the smaller animals of the garden, like moles, turltes, and mice. These fairies 
that live at the edge of our gardens and venture in to play, sing and look for the little bowls of sugar and 
sweets that Grandma told you to leave out for them.
If you want to leave out offerings of bowls of sugar in your gardens It just might bless
your garden and bring it a good harvest of vegetables and blooms from the fairies. This is 
why its so important to leave a little area of your garden untouched if you can and set out 
offering for your farieis. And if you follow some of th 16th to 17th century steps,
You may see the little garden fairies that may live in your garden!
And helpful note;On the night of June 21st, midsummer night, the fairies can speak the tongue of humans for a time, and so this is your best choice for trying to see them. Look for them in their fairy rings (a circle of twelve flowers where none should grow) or in a grove of mushrooms at the edge of the woods. In Italy, the traditional fairy night is January 6th (twelve nights) and of course, May Day.
Well I hope that you will get some helpful hint with all of 
your own gardens this coming spring. 
Your Magick Lady

The Fates

The Fates- 
Three spinners of the thread of life and of personification
of destiny...
The Three Fates
in the Disney Movie Hercules
I have always found the three Fates interesting, I think because of the Disney Hercules Movie, I saw so many years ago with Hades and the three sisters the Fates. I since been curious about the true story in
ancient Greek mythology. Since I've had this blog for almost a year in a half, I have tried to bring you all stories of Fairies, Dragons and the Unseen Creatures. In this next year I am going to included more Mythology of the ancient Worlds, Cultures and of as many different countries that I can. I just finished a  wonderful Creature in the Southern Africa. I will still be doing of course my Faeries, Dragons and Magick
Creatures as always... I thank you all! my dearest Friends and Followers for reading my blog and for keeping my Blog alive and the Magick Alive! I love you All! Your Wendy the Lady of Magick!

The Fates were among the Eldest Goddesses in ancient Greed Mytholgy. And from what I could find out the Fates were either the daughters of Zeus- Lord of the Gods and Themis-Goddess of justice or were created by the Goddess Nyx without the intervention of man! Those Greeks!
Basically there were three sisters- Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos.
1)The Spinner was Clotho and the youngest of the three Fates; she spun the thread of destiny with a distaff, determining the time of birth of an indiviual.
2)Lachesis measured the thread length to determine the length of life.
3)Atropos the cruel was the one who cut the thread of life, determining this way the time of death. 
Each Have Different Roles:
The Fates ( Sometimes called the Moirae's) were the spinners of the thread of life, determining the span
of human life of every mortal from birth to death. No other god had the right or the means to alter
their decisions. The Fates were the personifications of destiny; nevertheless, no human could blame
the fates, since there were times he/she was the only one responsible fro his/her failures.
The Fates were more often called THE MOIRAI OR MOIRAE and were the goddesses who
personified the inescapable destiny of man. They assigned to every person his/her fate. Their name
Fate means they shared in with Zeus Moiragetes, the God of fate, was their leader. Kinda a bit confusing
but in away makes since. They were the Fate of all humans on earth of their death, every women, man, child. And Zeus was their God, which they shared the fate of the Gods and Goddesses. How that I probably
totally confused you all. I will continue..hehehe.
At the Birth of man/woman, the Moirai-Clotho spinned out the thread of their future life, follow his steps
and directed the consequences of his actions according to the counsel for the Gods. It was not an inflexible Fate; Zeus, if he chose, had the power of saving even those who were already on the point of being seized by their fate. The Fates did not abruptly interfere in human affairs but availed themselves of intermediate
causes and determined the lot of mortals not absolutely but only conditionally, even man himself, in his
freedom as allowed to exercise a certain influence upon them. As man's fate is terminated at his death,
the Goddesses of Fate become the Goddesses of Death, Moirai Thanatoio.
The Moirai were independent of each other, but at the helm of necessity,
directed fate and watched that the
Fate assigned to every being by eternal laws were taken at its course without obstructions. And apparently
the God Zeus as well as all the other Greek Gods and Goddesses and Man on Earth had to submith to the
Fate sister as well. I hope that you all are able to follow this, I know it can be a bit confusing, but I hope you are also finding it interesting too.. On with the tale. Klotho-which meant 'Spinner',  brings us to the second
Fate Lakhesis the spinner of the thread of life. She is the one who inflicts the punishment for any evil deeds , you may of may not have done according to the laws of the Greek Gods for your life thread. And of course the last is the Fate Atropos who was said to be the cruelest As the Goddesses of death.
 Finally It seems that throught the ancient times the Fates or Moirai were usually described as being ugly old hags or women as I have shown you in my image of the Disney Movie Hercules. They were shown too there as ugly but as I remember strong women and fun. As for other places in history, they were shown as severe, inflexible and stern, The Fate sister Klotho is shown carrying a spindle or a book, Lakhesis shown with a staff which she is pointing to the horoscope on a globe and finally the last sister,Fate Atropos is shown holding a scroll, a wax tablet, pair of scales or a pair of scissors. There are other times when all three are shown with staffs or sceptres, the symbols of dominion and sometimes even with crowns. I found this to be
 interesting; It was said about the Fates: 'At the birth of each man they appeared spinning,
 measuring and cutting the thread of his life.

Abatwas Tiny Creature of Southern Africa

The Abatwas-
The Abatwa working
with and friendly
ant worker
It is said that these Abatwas are the tiniest creature of human form in existence, these little people standing at only 1/2inches tall coexist peacefully with the ants in the anthills of Southern Africa and life on the foraging from the roots of grasses and other types of plants they can find in the areas where they live. They are very shy and so elusive too, however they tend to reveal themselves to only very young children, wizards and pregnant women.. It is said that the Abatwa will only allow children from age four and younger to seen them. Also if a seventh-month pregnant woman will give birth to a boy if she sees a male Abatwa.
In African folklore they see these legendary little people as a peaceably group that lives within the anthill of
South Africa, living on the roots, grasses and many other different plants. The anthills that they live in can
go very deep, so deep that the human eye can not see these tiny Abatwas. As they have made their homes in the ant hills of Africa which can be quite complex tunnels with highly structured tunnels beneath the earth. Mountains were also good homes for the Abatwas too. They were very good at digging highly structured tunnel in any kinda earth.
It is said that these tiny creatures the Abatwas have many different languages; These could be that of the

Abatwa Riding and Ant 
Elves; Fairies; Dwarves; Goblins; or even that of the Gremlins. Then are usually are gentle and generous spirit creatures, but can be at times mean- spirited and dangerous if provoked . Just like in Ireland myth has
its Leprechaun/ /Scandinavias Myth has the Nornir, And Africa has their little people called the Abatwa
The word 'Abatwa' comes from South Africans mythology in referring to small human-like creatures,
who generally looks exactly like a primitive African tribes, but just very very small. In the ancient myth, the Abatwa were born from Nature spirits, the Vash' Nok's tear the burst and fell to the earth.
African Tribes who maybe generally
from the Abatwas people 
Some believe that the world originally came from allude to the Twa people, also known as the Batwa or the Pygmies who live in the Great Lakes regions of Africa. What is now called Rwanda, Uganda, Burundi and the Democratic Republic or the Congo which is more credible because the Twa people also have smaller figures and stature to this day. Standing at only 1.5 meters / 5 feet tall.
It is said that the Abatwa is only 1/2 inch in height, which would give them the ability to ride on the ants of Africa, live with the ants peacefully in their sometimes huge anthills and hide beneath the tall blades of grass on the enormous planes too. It hasn't really said in how the Abatwas people relate with the ants, but I think in some ways they has a special kinda communicate that only the ants and the Abatwas could understand. I think in someway they used their minds to communicate and it might had a little to do with the ants antennae too. I believe that the Abatwas were able to communicate with many other small animals too do their size and the intelligence with their minds.  Why you may ask? Well Ant societies are very  untied and cohesion, they help each other and obviously distribute their duties among each other and so with the Abatwa people, I feel they might have had a big influence on
Human & Abatwa
the ants social structure including women roles in the society. If you don't know already the ants are a hierarchy society that is ruled by a Queen Ant, and most of her workers male/female, therefore, Its not surprising that the Abatwas first president was a woman.
Some have said that because of their appearance, some cultures may confuse these tiny people of Africa, the
Abatwa with dwarfs or even fairies. Even though they are very much like a fairy they don't have any of the magick power of an Fairy. They are more like tiny humans or nomads with highly hunting-gathering skills. The Abatwas were natural born hunters, despite their tiny body. They can slay their prey several times larger than themselves with their small poisoned arrows which is very virulent, it can bring down small animals.
I found this to be interesting about the folklore of the Abatwa, I hope you do too.. It is said that if an
traveler unexpectedly encounters a Abatwa, it will ask the traveler:
"From where did you first see me? The traveler must answer that he first saw them from far away. If the traveler replies that he/she just saw them right in front of him, the Abatwa will hunt him down. To sun up, Abatwa is an Africans mythical creature that has a very tiny perfect human form. It refers to the Twa people - A native tribe in Africa. Even though they are shy and peaceful, they are born hunters and gathers of all types of plants. their ultimate weapon is a dealy poison arrows. They are a quiet people, but can be very vindictive and extremly dangerous if one mentions their small size. You may found near the anthill or the grassly planes of Africa, but watch your step! If you step in the wrong place it could be the last time you stand with a lethal venom arrow in your foot, without even knowning it because it would feel like a tiny stink.' 
I hope you Enjoyed my new Post on the Abatwas Creatures of South Africa. I am tring to cover all over the world on their differnt mythologys so in time I hope at some point I will have covered one of your places of home! 

Hope you all are well my dears! 

I love you All! Your Wendy!

Nemesis Goddess

NEMESIS GODDESS-
I thought would do another Goddess of the Ancient Greeks of
Goddess Nemesis
in the heavens of
Olympians 
Olympians. I have done quite a few as of 2014 and I know there are still
many more that I can still do. I was just surfing the web and Nemesis caught
my eye. I hope that this goddess will be as interesting as Many of the Goddesses
that I have done before. Although this goddess Nemesis is a bit more I would say
feminist for one in the ancient Gods and Goddesses of the Olympians. In someways
I think she was a bit before her time.
Nemesis was the Goddess of indignation against and retribution for, evil deeds
and undeserved good fortune. She was a personification of the resentment of any
Goddess Nemesis
Maintaining balance in the
World
type of aroused in men by those who committed crimes with apparent impunity or who had
inordinate good fortune. Nemesis directed all human affairs in such away as to maintain equilibrium in the world/ In a word she brought balance in the human world you could say. Her name meant, 'She who distributes or deals out, happiness and  unhappiness were measured out by her, caring being taken that happiness was not too frequent or too excessive.'  If any of these things happened, it was Nemesis the Goddess that could bring about losses and
suffering, because of those things. As one who checked extravagant favours Goddess Fortune, then Nemesis was regarded as an avenging or punishing divinity or Goddess. In the Myth of Nemesis particularly in matters of love, the Goddess appears as an avenging agent in the ancient tales whose callous actions brought about death and sadness. In some versions of the Trojan War, she was the mother of Helene and is shown in scenes of her seduction by Paris, pointing an accusing finger at the girl.
I also found when looking for images for the Goddess that she was depicted as a winged Goddess quite
often. She will generally be holding a apple-branch, rein, lash, sword or balance. I found this Goddess to be not quite as well known but still yet she is a powerful Goddess in her time. Holding balance in the world as the greek Olympians would gods and Goddesses to bring peace to the earth, but at times I wonder if she might have over used her godly powers too! Its hard to know back in the days of the ancient Greeks.
I hope you Enjoy this new post on Nemesis Goddess my dear Friends and Followers!

Love you All! Your Wendy!
