Following the Faery Path

My first recollection of faeries was during a hot summer's day when I was two years old. My father was taking part in a cricket match and I was playing with other children at the edge of the village green. There stood a huge oak tree, which had a hollow doorway at the base of its trunk. As I peered up I saw tiny twinkling lights darting about and I called out. An older boy came along pushing me out of the way. As he stared up through the darkness he shouted 'I can see faeries!'

A year later my family moved to a house surrounded by vast woodland and there I spent my childhood peering through any hole or hollow that I could find in the trees, looking for faeries. As the years went by I had built up an amazing relationship with these magical beings having spent hours in the woods talking to the faeries, communing and connecting with them, and learning from the nature that surrounded me.

As part of my spiritual journey I was guided to California to train to become an Angel Therapist with renowned angel lady and author, Doreen Virtue PhD. The training location was stunning. The grounds were filled with the most beautiful flowers and plants that decorated pathways which led to the golden sands that lined the Pacific Ocean - Heaven on Earth!

As I was taking a stroll to the beach I felt led to smell some delicate white flowers to the left of me. Suddenly, I felt compelled to ask permission to breathe in their scent and immediately heard a small voice saying 'Yes, do so.' Well, I was rather surprised and stood there stunned for a moment. I heard a voice again asking 'Well, will you?' So obediently I leant forward and stuck my nose in and breathed up the heavenly scent. 'Thank you,' I said feeling something on my nose. Careful not to hurt whatever it was, I tried to gently brush it away, but to no avail.

The next day in class we were asked to get into pairs. I coupled with a pretty petite lady, with long curly brown hair. She introduced herself and then exclaimed 'You have a faery on your nose. She's pink!'

When I returned home, I set about building up my Angel Practice. I asked the angels to help me find a suitable place to work from and was guided to an ideal shop in my local town, which had a large spacious room at the side of the building. It was a faery shop and was run by a lady named Twinkle. I was able to run angel workshops, meditation groups and give angel readings and healings comfortably. I also helped out, when I could, selling faery items and all things sparkly.

As client numbers grew I had no choice but to look for bigger premises, which didn't take long. Within days I was led to a Wellbeing Centre that had tranquil therapy rooms and the most exquisite covered courtyard, filled with plants and flowers. Liz Graham was the owner and she welcomed me with open arms. The place was perfect and so I signed up to continue my Angel Therapies from there.

One day, as I was at the Centre, deciding on dates for more angel workshops, I suddenly heard the stamping of tiny feet and voices crying, 'What about us!' It was the faeries. I felt terrible. How could I have not even thought about running faery workshops? They need to be heard; they need to be believed in!

So I consciously agreed with the faeries to be their representative. I enlisted their help so that they could give me the information that they wanted me to get across to others. I found that we worked very easily together. This led me to run faery events throughout the UK for adults and children alike, as well as writing articles and meditations for Mind Body Spirit publications including the faery press.

Faeries are all around us, but it is just that we, as humans, are usually unable to readily see them. They belong to our physical world and also their realm, known as the Ether, the Otherworld or Faerieland, which is hidden within our world.

Faeries resonates at a higher energy frequency than ours, which is why it is difficult for humans, who are of a heavy dense energy, to see, but they can freely visit both worlds as they are made up of high vibrating energy of light. At certain times of the day, such as the magical hours of Sunrise, Dusk, Noon and Midnight, we are more likely to connect with, and see, faeries. Portals from this world to theirs exist through water pools, at the crossings of ancient paths and from circles of mushrooms or flowers. Here we are more able to see them in our physical world - if we are lucky!

Faeries are able to slow their vibrations down purposefully if they wish to appear to us. This happened to me whilst I was giving a faery workshop one Saturday in the beautiful courtyard at the Wellbeing Centre. Two large faeries, who, incidentally, had incredibly long legs, turned up just as I was connecting the participants with the energy of a faery ring. They both hovered in the air to the right of the group, who were in a meditative state. As I looked at the Fae visitors silently I asked why they had appeared. They replied that they just wanted to see what was 'going on'. I told them that they were welcome.

To earn their trust, faeries will look to see if we have done unselfish deeds for the environment, such as pick up trash, be kind to animals and recycling. If we haven't, then they might set us tasks. Usually this is to collect dropped litter left in nature. If you walk past an empty drink can or candy wrapper, for example, and suddenly feel compelled to pick it up, you can be sure that the faeries are testing you.

Go for it, this will build up trust and kick-start off a wonderful new relationship between yourself and the fairies. The more you follow their guidance, in this way, the more natural it will become. The faeries will always show you their appreciation, in some way or another - just look for the signs!

I was walking through a park that is visible to a busy town roundabout. As I looked down I noticed broken green glass on the lawn that could be a potential hazard for animals. I bent down to pick up the glass pieces and took them to the nearest bin, which was quite a walk away. As I continued with this ritual, which took a good 20 minutes, I endured shouts from passing cars, and horn blowing, as if I was doing something quite mad. I just smiled, and returned no judgment.

I was pleased to put the last few pieces in the bin, and as I looked toward a cherry tree, I saw a leprechaun materialise in front of me. He was dressed all in green, including his hat, and was about 2 - 3 feet tall. With a knowing nod, he disappeared just as quickly as he'd arrived. I just knew that he was acknowledging me for what I had just done.

Faeries may not always make themselves visually apparent. You may feel the presence of faeries through a change of energy, such as a feeling of euphoria or you might feel a physical push or prod.

Often faeries dance on the top of people's heads, this may feel quite spidery, so be careful...
