BASILISK

Basilisk-

Good afternoon my dears, as promised I an much different post. I have a Magick Critters today
And this one is about the Basilisk which I remember very much in my favorite books Harry Potter books. I don't know if any of you out there are fans of the 8 book series but the Basilisk did play a part in one of the books.
The Basilisk has appeared in various forms throughout history. This Mythology & Magical Creature has also been In many different forms too! I have known the Basilisk only as the enormous snake that can turn anyone to stone if one see the Basilisk through a mirror. However it is also very deadly too! If you happen to look into its eyes you will died or if his craws get into your skin the poison will kill you in moments too. In this post I will try to write a little bit about each various form that the Basilisk has been throughout history + I will try to find images of the different various too. The Basilisk has appeared in various forms throughout ancient history many times over. 1-It got its start as a small crowed snake that had the ability to kill with its lethal poison and evil gaze. The poison was said to be so lethal, it left a wide trail of venom in its wake. 2-Lather in the medieval times, travelers would described the Basilisk as a much larger, fire breathing creature, with a terrifying roar. 3-The description of this Magick creature kept changing with the ages even further, creating a Rooster-with a serpents tail and occasionally dragon wings.[this show similarities with the cockatrice, however there is one difference that make them two very different creatures - The Basilisk is said to be hatched from the egg of a rooster, then incubated by a toad, while the birthing process of the Cockatrice is vica versa to the Basilisk - A toad's egg hatched by a rooster Hmm makes since Eh???????????
4-Another type of the Basilisk has been make up as part lizard, with a roosters head, the tail of a serpent and eight chicken legs. This one lead to its looks in the popular culture making it a even large as time went on, six or eight - legged lizard armed with a petrifying gaze too!
The tales about the basilisk and the mirror really do exist, however it can be slayed by other various methods. It is also vulnerable to the Cockcrow of a Rooster. This belief lead to travelers carrying roosters for self protection. It is said that the basilisk can be stopped by the odor of a weasel. Interesting I thought myself. They say that villagers will throw a weasel in a pit that is near
dying vegetation. This is in hope that they will get rid of the beast -Basilisk-. The weasel itself usually kills the basilisk on its own as well by urinating on the beast, but this almost always leads to the death of the weasel too!
More Facts about the Basilisk-

I found it very interesting that the Magical Creature basilisk can only be a male, never a female. It might be for reasons of its receptacle of venom and destructive qualities - also that it is so evil that it cannot gaze animals to death it turns to plants, withering them anywhere it goes. This could be the reason that it is a male and that it can only be a male. However, being a educated woman I know that there is a lot of evil in this world. Sadly there is many of women out there that are probably just as evil as the Creature the Basilisk as there are men. I don't think when he was created decades ago that 'they ever would come across some of the women in the modern world that would be just as evil.
They also said the Basilisk is believed to be the most poisonous creature ever lived, there are tales where the basilisk was killed by a spear from horse-back, but sadly the poison flowed upward and killed both the man and the horse too! Its presence is so tainting that not only herbs will die of its terrible breath, but stones will shatter as well. The basilisk's venom is so strong, that upon drinking from a well, that was once polluted from it centuries ago, it still will bring death to anyone that drinks from it.

Now as for the Healing powers of the Phoenix tears to save one if  were to have the poison of a
basilisk like that of the stories in Harry Potter? Well, I do love the stories however, as the truth to the
Phoenix tears and to that part of the story. I had a look and sadly I couldn't find anything but Harry

Potter stuff. So a warning that part might not be true. The only way to find out truly is to as J.R. Rowling or a historian that knows a lot about the subject. The reason is that the phoenix only lived in Arabia or occasionally Heliopolis. Although if you would like to do your own search, I would love to hear from you if you get any info on the subject.

Well, I hope that you enjoy the Post on the Basilisk

Love you all my dearsest Friends and followers

ETHIOPIAN DRAGONS-

Ethiopian Dragons-

Today I have a post for you all 'Love for the Dragon'. It gets harder now to find the many different kinda dragons now because I have done so many of them over the course of the 3years that I have had this blog. I hope you all find this Dragon just as grand as the others as 'My Love for the Dragon'.
The Land of -Aithiopia-Ethiopia was a place where the Gods bathe, celebrated by Homer under the name of Oceanus, which is an excellent and desirable neighbor of that land....It is said, the mother of the very largest of the Drakones-Dragons,Serpents-they attain to a length of one hundred and eighty feet, and they are not called by the name of any species, but
the people at the time say that they would kill their elephants, and these Drakones rival the longest-lived animals. Thus far this is some of the accounts of the Ethiopia Dragon from Aithiopia-Ethiopia.
The Ethiopian Dragon was both feared by man/humans and big game. They were described as being extremely enormous in size. Some have said they can get up to 20 cubits in length which is approximately 35+ feet long. They can have either one or two pairs of wings. Ethiopian Dragon were Medieval European legends according to ancient tales. They were also very efficient at their predatory hunting skills. These Beasts who main prey was elephants, were  abundant at the time.

However, as these Dragons life on the Ethiopian coastline and the Elephants would only come around the area of the coast during the time of drought years-according to drought year records.
But when the coastal supply of elephants food was exhausted the dragons would search further afield for nourishment for yes their favorite food. Four of five of these Ethiopian dragons would search further afield for the nourishment of what elephants they could find. They would twist themselves together like a rope before setting off to Arabia. Another way these Ethiopian dragons would search for food when the elephants ran out is... Quite amazing really these vast creatures would entwined themselves together to form a living raft and set across the sea, to the Arabian shore opposite of where they were. These dragons felt they had a better chance of food across the sea to the Arabian shore for food. However, what these creatures didn't know that at that state they were in

before they were able to get to the elephant, whey were easy to be killed to get what is called

The Dracontias Stone...This Stone is actually in the brain of a living Ethiopian Dragon. They say that it is very magick stone and could make you home prosperous and bring health to all. However, it is very dangerous to get the stone as you must do this great prize as many folks in the day while the dragon is still alive. They say it was a huge prize for an alchemist and much sought for. But the only way the stone can be effective and hold its magical effects if it is taken while the beast is still alive. So they had many different methods at the time. The main one was to drug the beast with a specially prepared herbs that they would put in the grass to fool the dragon into eating. I don't know how many times it worked because they had to find a Ethiopian dragon first, then if they were successful in that and preparing the special herbs to put in the grass without the dragon seeing them, they might have a chance if the dragon eats the area of grass where they put the herb. Now, if they got this far, they should have a dead dragon and have the prize to cut out of his head -

THE DRACONTIA STONE

I HOPE THAT YOU ALL ENJOYED THE

ETHIOPIAN DRAGON MY DEARS

LOVE YOU ALL

YOUR FRIEND ALWAYS

Magick Creatures-2016

Magick Creatures
There are Magical Creatures of the oceans, forests, deep woods, high/low mountains, deepest caves, skies,

volcanoes, underworld and unknown worlds who have choose to be either seen or NOT!
This is my topic of discussion for this post today.
If you think about it, there are all kinds of creatures in this world.Its just that you might be thinking about the typical ones - like tigers, elephants & monkeys etc. In this Post I am going to cover the not so typical creatures of the world. Ones you would not typically think of, like a elephant. I will be taking you to that place where you may think these creatures do or don't exist. Its really up to you. On how much you are willing to believe in the Unknown! If you think about it, these Magical creatures could be right in front of you all the time its just they choose not to be seen! And they choose who will get to see them. Us humans. These could be either the good Fae or very evil Fae.

 Basilisk

There are quite a few of these Magick Creatures that can blend into our nature and they can also take a form of nature too. So that is one reason you could be staring right at one of them without even seeing them. But they certainly seen YOU!
Some of these Magical Creatures are very small and are helpful to humans without you even knowing it!

Magick Creatures   

Others are Enormous and would like nothing better than to eat you whole!
These Creatures generally are found in a different realm or unknown worlds.
There are other types of Magick creatures that like to use their magic to trick humans when they enter our world. By getting you to trust them - After they have accomplished this they probably would change their form  by shape-shifting in which a lot of the magic creatures are able to do.
Then of course there are the ones that are so fearsome that they stick-out like that of the Basilisk.
Curious thing is that all these creatures our not just in our imaginations. I'm sure that some are, but if you

Magick Creatures

open your mind, these mythic creatures as they are called, just might have a whole different look on the world for you. Truly what is a monster? And is it just in the ancient Mythology of Greece, Egyptian and other countries? Or is it Now! Well I believe that it is now and it has always been that way.
But I have opened my eyes. Will YOU!

A Selkies Song~

  An earthly nurse sits and sings

and aye, she sings by lily wean,

and little ken I by bairn's father,

Far less the land where he dwells in.

For he came one night to her bed feet,

And a grumbly guest, I'm sure was he,

Saying "Here am I, thy bairn's father,

Although I be not comely.

I am a man upon the land,

I am a selkie on the sea,

And when I'm far and far frae land,

My home it is in Sule Skerrie."

And he had ta' en a purse of gold,

And he placed it placed it upon her knee,

Saying: "Give it to my little young son,

And take thee up they nurse's fee."

"And it shall come to pass on a summer's day

when the Sun shines bright on every Stone,

I'll come and fetch my little son,

and teach him how to swim the faem."

"And ye shall marry a gunner good,

and a right fine gunner I'm sure he'll be,

And the very first shot that he e'er shoots,

Will kill my young son and me."

FLOWERFAIRIES

FLOWER FAIRIES

~FLOWER FAIRIES HAVING FUN~

I have always loved Flower Fairies, Why because they are so delicate and part of nature and our gardens. You may not know it but they are in are gardens all the time. You just can't see them. You have to open you eyes and heart just a little bit more and maybe one day you just might. As you know from reading my blog my dearest friends & followers Fae folk come in many different races, however, there is one race that comes in a variety that comes in many forms. And that happens to be the most beautiful Flower

Faeries. I pray that that I haven't done a post on these beauties for I have done so many on fairies, elves & dragons over the last almost 3years that my mind kinda forgets sometimes and for that I am truly sorry. As for these most beautiful fae's they happen to be the most wondrous known to man., There are a few known to us humans, such Bluebells.

The Bluebell Fairy: the Bluebells flowers who carpet the woodlands in who carpet the woodlands in

the late spring, create a shimmering azure haze in which thousands of fairies will dance in this area. This is 

also similar to the hue of the human 'etheric', which is the part of the aura closest to the body 

and is easiest to see. 

the late spring, create a shimmering azure haze in which thousands of fairies will dance in this area. This is 

also similar to the hue of the human 'etheric', which is the part of the aura closest to the body 

and is easiest to see.

Buttercup Fairy:

 Buttercup flower/fairy brings you 

awareness of your gifts and will help you

 to feel more confident in your ability 

that you already have within you. 

You will be able to explore & express 

your talents in this lifetime because of 

these delicate fairies love of giving you

 these gifts. However, you must

 always keep an open mind, 

heart and love in your heart for the

Buttercup fairy to come to you

The golden'Cup of this flower
 is full of magical bounty
and cheer. The buttercup fairy is
 compassionate & has a
very deep understanding
of human beings.

Clover Fairy

We are now at the Clover Fairy. Which I happen to like

quite a lot. The Cloverleaf flower has three loves & sometimes

as the Irish would say:[my grandmother Mary who was very

Irish 'the luck of the Irish' you may find a four-leafed clover

that is, which is extremely lucky. Such leaves are very rare,

and may be taken to symbolize the four Elements of Earth,

Fire, Air and Water which is very magical. Some have said

this four lobe Clover's are linked with the Triple 

Goddess; Maiden, Mother and 

Crone. They also carried 

as a protective charm even the three-leaf Clover.

CLOVER FAIRY

Cowslip Fairy;

The Cowslip flowers/fairies come from the 

a primrose variety of flowers, which

appear an in the late spring, & have a 

potential to show indication of fairy activity. 

So keep your eyes and ears open. As for your

ears, they could do something like make 

your wind chimes move when there is no 

wind or breeze in the air to get your attention.

As for the flowers they could be moving in ways

that you never were seen before.

The primrose fairies and the cowslip fairies have

a youthful innocence and to them so they will help to 

keep youth in anyone who carries their blooms

in their gardens. So the Primrose & Cowslip flowers

would be a great spring flower.

DAISY'S

Daisy's are beautiful flowers & fairies. Daisy's 

often will grow on lawns or grass and will always

spring back up after the winter grass has been cut

and the cold of winter. The daisy fairy is very robust

and does not worry about humans and their actions in

the world. For, this reason they

 can be an effective guide into the fairy realms

of faiyland. Many of the other fairies are drawn

to daisies. This is the Daisy fairy special gift of 

resilience and creativity.

DAFFODIL FAIRY'S

Daffodil's for one they are my momma's favorite

flower and for that, I have always had

daffodil's in my garden to remind me of 

my wonderful mother that I talk to I hopes at 

least 2 times a week if she isn't too busy. Yes

even in her retirement she

is very busy. They are quite beautiful so bright and

cheerful and Yellow!

The daffodil fairy blows the trumpet of the flowers

that ushers in the spring is here! As the fresh winds

toss the daffodil flowers, so does the daffodil fairies within

to bring in the message of clarity of new beginnings.

Daffodil fairies can help you not only understand you're true 

potential, however, they also tell the world about it too.

To the daffodil fairy,

we are all beautiful and they help us all to see 

ourselves in this way.

GORSE FAIRY

These flowers are year around and it is one of 

the functions of the Gorse Fairy to be cheering, even

when the situation seems hopeless

These Gorse Fairies will avert despair and 

show a light at the end of 

any tunnel when all hope may be lost

in humans.

HEATHER FAIRIES

Well, were now at Heather Fairies. It is said

that to supply the Heather fairies & 

other fairies so that they may feed on the

blooms of the Heather flowers,

 You must help

by growing them in your gardens. The 

Faries do not literally feed on the plant, of flowers

of course, but they may well absorb its essence, 

which is vibrant and protective to the fairies.  

HONEYSUCKLE FAIRIES

The Honeysuckle fairies love their Honeysuckle 

flowers most primitively because of the senses that

connect to the reptilian brain-stem, meaning these 

flowers have the most beautiful Fragrance to

them than most of the flower fairies. These flowers

has great power to evoke old memories and buried 

feelings. This is well understood by the 

Honeysuckle Fairies 

IRIS FAIRIES

These fairies are very

 special among 

the inhabitants of 

the Land of the Fairies.

The Iris was the Greek

 Goddess of the rainbow

and is more than a glorious
 showing forth of all

the colors of the spectrum.

 

It is also a bridge between this world 

and the subtle realms of 

which fairies are a part of.

LAVENDER FAIRIES

The Lavender flower is modest in appearance,

however, wonderfully fragrant like that of the

honeysuckle flower. Lavender has many 

therapeutic and magical uses. It will soothe a 

number of illness, from the headaches/migraines

to bee stings from bee's and rashes. It has an effect use

in cleansing your skin and calming the spirit. 

LILAC FAIRIES

The lilac flowers have a nostalgic 

scent that the lilac fairies use which will cause

humans to recall their past. It will also bring

back long-forgotten emotions back too.

Some of these emotions that the humans

that may be associated with their past 

lives. The lilac fairy can awaken distantly 

memories and enable you to realize that 

you have lived before, loved and understand

before what happen with

the use of the lilac essence of the flower

and their magic.

LILY FARIES

Lily fairies bring great purity & spirituality to all.

These fairies have links with the angels, 

who are cosmic messengers. In particular, they 

are associated with the Archangel Angel Gabriel,

who is often depicted holding a lily

MARIGOLD FAIRIES

As I was doing the research on the Marigold
flowers and fairy I have discovered a number of 
wonderful things about these flowers. Such as

home remedies & India Weddings use the beauty of these
flowers for their wedding for some time. I will
visit these other interesting area's of the Marigold
for other stories in a later time.

I myself have always had these beauties in my 
Garden and always save the seeds for the spring
The Marigold Fairies are very Strengthening 
and they are heartening creatures too.
They have powerful healing gifts of 
bringing the warmth of the sun to 
renew life an to restore your vigor. 
Many folklore says that the Marigolds are
picked at noon which have the greatest 
power then to comfort the heart/soul,
because at the time the Marigold fairies
will be able to reflect the potency of the 
great Sun.  

POPPY FAIRIES

I first remember the poppy from my
favorite Movie the 'Wizard of Oz' which 
I watch even holiday season. With Dorothy, Toto
Scarecrow tinman and the lion.Can't forget the flying
monkeys' Oh, I have known

the movie by heart since I
was a child. 
Well, that is a bit about me. 
The Poppy fairies will bring

 

great and wondrous dreams and visions,
However, to use these properly, it requires 
discrimination. What this means, the 

fairies can bring confusion and even madness
or they can be correctly interpreted as 
offering different perspectives on your life.

Not all these perspectives may be available 
in the mortal state[human state if you will].
But they can provide inspiration and creativity
to you the humans.

PRIMROSE FAIRIES

The primrose flowers
 & Fairies 
form a 
very special portal to 
the fairy realms & from

this a primrose-studded 
bank around the time of 
Spring Equinox it is a very good
 a place to see fairies of all
races. Blue & Red 
primroses growing in

the garden will attract fairies 
too so keeping them in your garden would be 
a great thing to do besides they will keep
the household from harm

ROSES

I have always loved Roses. 
My momma
has a beautiful rose garden 
that I have photography

many of time. As for the Rose 
Faires they are
especially strong vibration to them
 could be because

of the beauty of the flowers and the 
most beautify scents
that come from the many different
 roses in the world.

The Rose fairy has a particular
 power- Roses were
sacred to the Isis, in the times 
of the Egyptian Goddess

Some have said the Roses/Isis 
to be a complete
goddess-form ever evolved.

SNAPDRAGON FAIRIES

I have always loved the 
snapdragons 
probably because of the
 name thinking

at some point, these beautiful flowers would 
turn into a friendly dragon.
I have always had them in my garden

but for the last couple of years. The snapdragon
fairies are quite a fiery fairy who can 
help you to repel all negative energies within you.
If you were a snapdragon flower on your body
and no one will ever be able to pull the wool 
over your eyes. As for the snapdragon fairies they
 are far too cute and will burn away the dross, 
to reveal the truth out of anyone the choose.

TULIP FAIRIES

Tulips are quite the thing in my
neck of the woods. We have great festivals
in the spring when the Tulip's come to bloom

here in Washington State. I myself Have never
been very good at the bulb growing a garden 
and the Tulips. However, they are very beautiful.

The Tulip Fairy like so many fairies likes to
associate with love.
These Tulips are in the shaped like that of 
a chalice and this is the 'loving cup' from
which tulip fairy encourages you to imbibe, to feeL the

blessings of Nature. One of the fairies messages
is to have the courage to be vulnerable, 

because only in this way can any one of us
will ever know closeness and fulfillment.

VIOLET FAIRIES

Well, I really didn't think I would make
this long of post and for that, I hope you all
like the post on Flower fairies. 

At, first I was just going to put the flower 
in but after I did some research and found all
these beautiful flowers & fairies I just had to

 

include them all. 
So It will probably take the whole page.
I am sorry about that I have lots of ideas for the
new year thought.
I have always loved Violets, I believe it
has to do with my momma and my sister Betty
who have always had them in their homes.
they bothe love the African Violets even
though they are hard to care for. 
It would seem that the Violet Fairies
are the most modest & spirited of all.
The epitomizes all the qualities that are needed
to attract other fairies, such as 
humility and simplicity.
In ancient Greece Violets were 
worn to promote 
tranquillity and facilitate 
sleep.

I hope that you all enjoy
the Post  on the FlowerFairies
my dearest friends, readers, and followers.
As we come to the last two days of 2015
I just want to thank you for all your 
support you have always given 
me during my good and it seem of late
my not so good but I couldn't get through
the days without you all my dearest loves
I love you all so very much 

Your Friend always & forever
