You do not have to believe in faeries. You must be willing to objectively see what’s going on around you, but you don’t have to believe.

The faeries are real, whether you believe in them or not. They won’t stay where they’re ignored or ridiculed, but they are very, very real.

I fully realize how odd it sounds, to say that I see faeries and interact with them. I mean, I would never mention this in conversation at a corporate cocktail party, and expect to be taken seriously!

However, I really do see them, and others do too, regardless of how they explain them. Even complete skeptics notice the flitting lights and shadows in our home, and often ask what they are. Sometimes I say, “I don’t know,” which is true. At other times, I’ll admit, “We think they’re faeries.”

Regardless of the explanation, the visitor will usually comment that he/she is still seeing these odd little things, later.

So, if you raise an eyebrow as you read this, it’s okay. I know that, whether or not you believe in them, you will see them if they’re nearby.

It will take an open mind to accept their reality.

How to attract faeries

How do you attract faeries? Like other beings, faeries have their own likes and dislikes. It’s difficult to say, “Oh, this will definitely work,” because they’re just like you and me in that respect.

We have our own reasons for going places.

For example, I love libraries but if the librarians are snooty, I won’t go back a second time.

So, if you don’t let the faeries know that you are aware of them and appreciate them, they may not return.

Here are common likes (and dislikes) of faeries:

Likes:

  • Tidiness, order, and cleanliness, especially in the kitchen
  • Bread and cake – little bits set out in the evening
  • Something that clearly invites them. The faerie door is a good example.
  • Milk or water, set out in the evening, perhaps in a nice thimble (but not one made of iron or steel)
  • Glittery and shiny things – small bells, marbles, jewelry (no iron or steel)
  • Music – light, happy music, even singing in the shower can help
  • Low lighting – they are most often seen at dusk and dawn, but a small candle (electric is okay) can guide them to your home

Dislikes:

  • Iron things. Especially scissors left out in plain view. Pins, knives, anything made of iron will frighten them, sometimes.
  • Clutter, disorder, stacks of things that haven’t been sorted, and so on
  • Bells. I know that some faeries like bells, but they are their own bells. If your cat wears a bell, or you have a very rude alarm clock, or something like that, the noise may drive away the faeries.
  • Water. Many “psychic” experiences are attributed to a deep, hidden stream under a building. Some faeries are the opposite: They don’t like to cross a stream, hidden or visible. (Then again, we have plenty of faeries who live in or near the water, so this isn’t a firm rule.)
  • Looking them in the eye. It is said that you can gain control over a faerie, especially a Leprechaun, if you look him/her straight in the eye and hold that gaze.

    What the hell is this crap… To everyone out there- Faeries ARE NOT REAL! Neither is Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny!

    “You do not have to believe in faeries. You must be willing to objectively see what’s going on around you, but you don’t have to believe.” – this is a bunch of crap, no one believes in them! Morons!

  2. Kay says:

    What is your take on the information about faeries on this site?
    http://www.realfairies.net/

  3. clio says:

    super cool!

  4. Rob says:

    What about negative Faeries how do you avoid or if need be repell them ?

  5. Fiona says:

    To Rob:

    A friend of mine, Janet Farrar, once told me how she deals with the frightening faeries. She imagines herself much bigger than them, and then she bellows, “**** OFF!” (If you’ve ever met Ms. Farrar, she’s petite and usually very polite. I’m not sure that the faeries are afraid of her, but they’d certainly be startled!)

    I’ve used something similar, but simply imagining myself huge seems to be enough.

    I’ve also heard people recommend imagining the negative faeries as “pretend” and not real. That seems to diminish their power, although those faeries are very real.

    Iron will usually drive away all faeries. It might be the best way to start, if you have a problem with the negative faeries. You can remove the iron and invite the kind faeries back, later.

    I’ll write an article about this, later. It’s a good question. Thanks for asking!

  6. Fiona says:

    To Kay: I browsed the site and it looks lovely… and original. That’s refreshing!

    (If you want to annoy the faeries, “borrow” art or articles from a site that the faeries like. *shudder* I wouldn’t do it.)

    Thanks for sharing that link!

  7. Fiona says:

    To “Ted Williams”:

    If the faeries aren’t real and “no one believes in them,” I’m not sure why you bothered to post this comment at all.

    Of course faeries are real. If they weren’t, people like you would just shrug off websites by believers.

    (And, for the record, Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny have roots deep in “the old ways” and — in their original contexts — very real as well. There may not be entities delivering commercially manufactured gifts on their respective holidays, but those of us who connect with earth-based spirituality will affirm that we can receive wonderful gifts. Like the faeries, it’s all a matter of knowing what to look for.)

  8. Natalie Lynn says:

    Hi Fiona,

    I like your website very much…lots of good information here. I especially like the suggestion you got from Janet Farrar for dealing with unpleasant (bad) faeries, excellent idea!

    Thank you for your nice comment about realfairies.net – we really appreciate it.

  9. Kassie says:

    Do you know what hypodermic needles are made of?

    I’m looking to attract faeries, but I’m diabetic, and any energies that appear to build seem to almost completely dissipate whenever I do anything related to my health. It makes me wonder if my needles are made of iron?

  10. Megan says:

    Wow. It’s nice to see a site this nice and plausible! Certianly a nice change of pace. May I ask, as someone interested in further research, what book(s) would you suggst to start with?

  11. Destiny says:

    What a beautiful site! I’ve also heard that putting thyme on window sills and door thresh holds will attract faeries and I agree with Fiona. It’ kind of like an atheist. They have to know that there is some type of higher being to not believe in it.

  12. FairyGuide says:

    Thanks for the concise article about attracting fairies. I’m applying some of these principles as soon as I get off this computer! Even the skeptic must admire the beauty of nature and fairies are manifestations of nature’s beauty.

  13. may says:

    How do you become one? I read on the internet that you get there dust & add milk & mix it up than you drink it…. But than someone else said that thats not true. So idk….

  14. Samy says:

    This is for the People that say this is crap….

    why did you take time to Post a comment for it being Crap when your the one who wanted to read this in the first place?
    i think that deep inside you know they are real but you dont Do alot of Effort in showing them you want them to come

    trust me
    i know they are Real but i am lazy and i wont do alot of things but i start now

  15. Amanda says:

    If you don’t believe in Fairies (or the magick of the Fae Folk), then why are you here on this site? It’s very rude to come into someone’s space and insult them, and that’s why you CAN’T see them, because you won’t open your mind.

    I found this information helpful! Thank you so much. I can’t wait to make my own Faerie Door!

  16. Kristy Spurlock says:

    I believe that the fey do exist. You just have to know where and when to look. I have a friend that can see them as well, and one in particular has taken quite a liking to her. I have seen all of her documented evidence and personally, I say if ghosts have been proven to exist, why not faeries, dragons, mermaids, skinwalkers, werewolves, vampires, or anything else out there? I mean how do you explain all the recorded data of several eyewitness accounts dating back to before the Dark Ages? Call those that believe in them what you will, but I do have my own experiences. I was left with a deep gouge on my left arm after I made a joke about a lupine fey attacking one of my friends and it had appeared not long afterward out of no where. I am Wiccan and am used to weird things like this, but not quite as violent.

  17. arkro says:

    will fairies come out if it is raining?

  18. Nice says:

    Even so, ones beliefs have to be respected weather or not it’s the Easter bunny, Santa Clause, Yahweh, Jesus, the tooth (or any) fairy, etc, etc. Religious wars start over ridicule of other peoples beliefs. Magellan said to a Native “My God is the only one! ” He came back and the “Heathens” defeated him.

    Besides there needs to be a respect between minority faiths as the abrahamic majority oftentimes discriminates against Atheist, Wiccans, Scientologist, etc alike.

  19. GDJ says:

    I WANT TO BELIEVE BUT I AM SCARED AND I WANT TO BE A FAERIE IF POSSIBLE BUT AGAIN I AM SCARED…… HOW CAN I B SURE ITS ALL REAL!!!!! SIGH =(

  20. Francesca says:

    To Ted Williams

    Keep your thoughts to yourself, this is someones belief. If you are only spreading that you think it’s crap, why come on at all?

    Beautiful, really interesting site!! x

  21. Viviana says:

    wow this is a nice site ^^ ive been looking for a website for a little over an hour but all that stuff just doesnt make sense! i was reading the books Tithe, Valiant, and Ironside. i was wondering if the stuff in there could be real facts on fairies.

    also is it true that faeries dont like iron and steel cuz its poison to them and it burns their skin?, (er not literaly in flames!! but like when u touch the hot stove)

  22. felicity says:

    this was really insitful for all the sites i’ve been to find out this are just about the disney kind of faeries. they usually say that they are nice carming things that are born from a baby’s laugh. this could be true for certian faerie courts.

    thank you so very much for this i needed to know that someone out there actually knew about faeries the real deal.

    to ted williams, if you do read this i must tell you that i have seem asrai (which are small faeries) playing outside my grandmothers house when i was a little girl they would aften get tangled in my hair. i was eight of nine. they don’t seem to like to play with 12 year olds. but maybe it was just that i was a yong women then and so for they thought that i forgot about them. i might not have lefting my child hood behind but i do seem them once in a while. i also feed them. milk with honey and bread on top, they love it.

  23. cosmic elf says:

    OF COURSE FAERIES ARE REAL!!!
    and did you know that everytime someone says they don’t believe in them, one dies!!!

  24. Jonathon says:

    I’ve had faeries around me all my life…not to mention the sames ones have lived with me for all my 19 years of life. Also I love them to death…but what about Pixies…is there a difference between them and faeries or do I just have tricksters among my friends?

  25. John says:

    Fiona, I recently have begun studying the craft and have some of Farrar’s books. Very wonderful. As for Ted Williams, he sounds bitter and angry so I will try sending some positive enery and blessings his way so he may be enlightened and find peace soon. Blessings to all!

  26. Fiona says:

    Kassie, I believe that needles are made from steel, which is related to iron. However, I think it’s more likely that the faeries are conscious of your health issues and don’t want to do anything that would cause an adrenaline surge or upset your sugar balance.

    In your situation, I think it’s important to be very patient with the faeries, and assure them that you’re okay.

  27. Fiona says:

    Megan, Among modern books, I recommend anything by Katharine Briggs. There are many wonderful 19th century books, as well, but some can be very difficult to read and wander into fantasy. Briggs’ works are among my favorites for genuine research.

  28. Fiona says:

    Destiny, thanks for sharing that information about thyme. Some herbs definitely attract the faeries, and it seems likely that thyme would appeal to them.

  29. Fiona says:

    May, I’ve heard several “recipes” that are supposed to help a person become a faerie. However, I think it’s a little silly. People are who they are, whether they’re part faerie or not. Feeding my cat “people food” won’t make him a human, but I like to think that many of us (and our pets) are close to the faerie world, without changing anything.

  30. Fiona says:

    Samy, I think you’re right, and I can only be sympathetic when someone insists that faeries aren’t real. To me, it’s like insisting that rainbows aren’t real, either. There may be people who’ve never seen a rainbow (or encountered any evidence of faeries), but what’s real is real, whether people believe or not.

  31. Fiona says:

    Viviana, I’m not sure that anyone knows why faeries avoid iron and steel, but your explanation is as good as any.

    There are also people who feel that the iron symbolizes the Iron Age, which is when people began to ignore or deny the existence of faeries.

  32. Fiona says:

    Felicity, I’m delighted that this website has been helpful. I’ll have more time to add to it in 2010, and I look forward to sharing more information, then. This site is definitely the real deal, and I hope to reach more people with this kind of information. I think our world needs it more than ever, now.

  33. Fiona says:

    Cosmic elf, thanks for your comment. However, there are no records of faeries actually dying. A 19th century writer observed a faerie funeral once, but he soon realized that they were just pretending… mimicking a ritual they’d seen in our world.

  34. Fiona says:

    Jonathon, pixies are generally regarded as one kind of faerie, just as leprechauns are faeries of a different kind, and so on. Pixies can be pranksters, and that can set them slightly apart from some more serious faeries, but… they’re still faeries.

  35. Fiona says:

    John, thank you so much!

  36. Arkro says:

    Fiona, is ther any chance that I could see a faerie?
    I am 15 so of course i live with my parents and siblings and my house is ussualy a mess, and there are certainly many objects made of iron. Is it adamant that I will not see them If the house is like this? Also, we have no garden and I can not make a garden. The most we have is a backyard where chickens are in a coop. I have been wanting to see them for a long time but never really been able to make my house suitable to contact them.

  37. Gywnivere says:

    Faerie tales have been around for ages. People liked to make up things. People still do today.

    I personally believe that these ‘faeries’ that you see are devil spirits, fallen angels that have come only to confuse and get you farther away from God. But not everyone believes in God mostly because the Adversary tricks people into believing things that really aren’t what they are.

    All supernatural things are devil spirits or fallen angels or demons. Ghosts or Taihbs(Which is ghost in Gaelic) are all devil spirits.
    I’ve seen them how they truly are. It is in the Bible. As an Unorthodox Christian we run fellowships and we do not go with popular beliefs given by churches. We are nondenominational, and we do what the Bible and God tells us to do.

  38. Fiona says:

    Gywnivere (or did you mean to spell it Gwynivere?),

    Thanks for sharing your opinions. Let’s agree to disagree. This isn’t a forum for religious debate.

    This website discusses faeries. If you think they don’t exist, that we “make up” faeries, or that they’re “devil spirits,” you’ll probably enjoy other websites far more than this one.

    Fiona

  39. Sam says:

    I have always been fascinated with Faeries and Pixies. I have always wanted to see one and i hope i do. Where is it most commom to find them? Can they do anything special? Abilities I mean? That would be terriffic to know. How do you communicate with them? A chant? Or some kind of phrase? I am just so interested to know. Thanks:)

  40. Whitefoxx says:

    Thanks for producing a very fine website. And I’m very glad that you’ve chosen to continue with your podcasts. As of 2007, I’ve had many encounters with the Fair Folk, fortunately all have gone well. With that said, I wish you many good times, and keep up the good work!

  41. bekee says:

    fiona, i absolutely love your website, its simplicity is perfect but full of great facts that i enjoy reading, i love gathering more information on faeries…
    i also share the same problem as Arkro… and i would love to have some advice on helping me see a faerie…i know i have seen faeries before and i still do but i would like to befriend one if possible… this is a great love of my life and i would love to embrace it… but i need your help.

    i would also like to thank you for having this website up for people to read and enjoy…it very helpful!
    as to people like Ted who dont believe in the magnificent magic around us, why did you bother reading this and then writing a comment…this is our space to enjoy not yours so please dont spoil it for people who embrace it.

    thanks again fiona for having a wonderful website up for me to appreciate…

  42. Annabelle says:

    Have you ever heard that fairies can’t lie? Probably, huh? I wonder why. I hope to become an author one day (I’m 14 now) and I had this character state why he thinks his own kind can’t lie (haven’t written the story down yet though…). Why do you think they can’t lie, if you think they can’t. ^^ Thank you.

  43. Fiona says:

    Annabelle, I’ve never heard that faeries can’t lie. Of course, they seem to care so little about people’s reactions — and they’re so often mischievous — I’m sure that some faeries never lie.

    It’s a good device for a story. Keep writing! I look forward to seeing your stories in print, some day.

    Cheerfully, Fiona

  44. Fiona says:

    bekee,

    Thanks for your comments! I’m always happy to meet others who are as fascinated with faeries as I am.

    Cheerfully, Fiona

  45. Fiona says:

    Whitefoxx,

    Thank you! I’m continuing the podcasts every two weeks, and I’ll be delving more deeply into faerie facts and folklore in future podcasts.

    Cheerfully, Fiona

  46. Fiona says:

    Sam,

    There are no simple answers to your questions. Faeries seem to connect with the land, so any place in nature is probably a good starting point.

    Different faeries behave in different ways, with different abilities… the same as humans are very different, one from another.

    Most communication seems to be telepathic, but that’s just a guess.

    I hope that helps!

    Cheerfully, Fiona

  47. Lisa A. says:

    I just want to make this clear for those who think faeries are actually demons or evil spirits fooling people.
    Sure, there are , no doubt, demonic entities who DO Pretend to be faeries and DO fool people. Demons also imitate angels as well- and yet both angesl and faeries actually exist.

    I am a non-denominational Christian– and I accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior– and hope to accept Him even more– After praying to Jesus to allow me to meet one of these Nature Guardians– I left the timing up to Him as to when , how , where, etc..
    Well guess what!! a month later, my prayer was answered unexpectedly. My sister and father got into a huge family argument which left our household very quiet and depressive. I was very sad that following Monday and while just staring in my hair in the morning sunlight– I was taken off guard by someone looking at me with empathy and compassion — I looked towards that section of my hair and –gawking in complete shock, looked right into the eyes of a sweet Faery Being- very delicate and thin– soft cocoa brown skin and wide set eyes tilted up a bit. small delicate mouth, nose and chin– and high cheekbones and a high forehead. Her hair was pulled back. Her eyes were totally all dark chocolate brown with no irises. She looked very soft , regal and humble at the same time. I will never forget this encounter and how the Lord answered my prayer to meet one of these Beings. Her eyes had Christ’s light and empathy reflecting out of them.

    Sure, there are no doubt those in the faerie realm who work on Satan’s side. The devil knows how to seduce anyone- wether humans, aliens, faery, gnomes, elves, angels, whoever.

    I found out that morning, back on May 31, 2008 that God also has His Helpers of all Beings– not just humans– Many work on His side too. He allowed me to encounter one.

    I can’t share this experience with my Christian friends– they are not ready to accept this — maybe after they die they will be shown– God permitted me to see. Maybe because I was ready for more truth.

    Even those in other realms can’t wait to see Jesus’ High priestly prayer come to pass- the one He prayed with His disciples saying, “On Earth as in Heaven”.

    After my beautiful encounter , I’ve also seen flying colored lights fly over our apple tree, dance at the ceiling of our living room after playing some music for the faery, and seeing a red light fly over some cars and head into a wooded area while I was coming home from our shopping mall… They are very real.
    Be careful Christians, in judging these Beings as being of the devil. Many work for our Creator and they work hidden and do not normally call attention to themselves.

  48. Laura says:

    I find iron is uncomfortable, like a buzzing or itching sensation, not really a burn, but I don’t think I’m all faery, just part. Maybe it’s stronger for one of more fey blood. I’ve also always been messy, and I see shadows or lights of faeries about my room sometimes, like they’re trying to clean up, so no, I don’t think you have to be well organized for them to come near you. I do have lots of shiny things in my room, though, including wind chimes of a high tone that remind me of faeries, because I like shiny. Faeries have good taste ^-^.
    ~Laura

  49. Colleen says:

    I think I’ve been attracting faeries lately. Though I fear I may have driven them away because I’ve always been uneasy with the idea of faeries being around me. I’ve always kind of thought they were bad luck since they like to play pranks and stuff and I don’t like pranks. I’ve had a rough experience lately with psychosis which made me fearful of any kind of spirit. The faeries came around to help me and I wasn’t sure whether they were truly there to help me or not, but some bad stuff happened and I automatically blamed them. I feel bad and I wish I could make it up to them somehow. I’d like to communicate to them that I’m scared and I feel too frail for pranks right now, but I’m not really sure how. Any input would be appreciated.

    Colleen

  50. webmaster says:

    Colleen,

    It’s best to wait until you feel stronger. There are dark faeries and light ones — good and bad — and I wouldn’t recommend risking an encounter with one of the darker ones.

    Fiona

  51. Bri says:

    dear coleen,

    Fiona is right. i am not sure, but i have a feeling that if you try to call them while you are weak, the ones who work for Satan will take advantage of you. I have been trying to call them because i do believe. However, i am young and live with my parents. They would think that this is ridiculous and send me to a shrink. So, i attract them in secret. My family are very catholic, andI have been awaiting a worker of God. I believe that i do have some fae blood. i am 60-65% Irish, and have traced my bloodline back to old Ireland. I can sense dark presences, ( a dark presence feels very heavy and cold in a random spot, and can vary in size. they can even take up a whole room, which is not uncommon.) I wait in anticipation for one, and have seen them before, but paid them no regard. now that i know what they are, i want more to come. Just please wait to be stronger.

  52. Aly says:

    I absulotly agree with everything you have said. Fearies ARE real they may not be seen, but they are. It takes an open mind to see them so, to those who think fearies are fake, forgive me but, try to gain an open mind, there is most defidentally more than what meets the eye.

  53. Rabbit says:

    Very useful. I think it all depends on the species and Court (Unseelie vs. Seelie) though. It’s a wonder I even see them in my room, it’s so messy in here.

  54. Anna says:

    Hi there
    I really do believe in faeries and I think this website is cool.
    Do you know if animals can always see faeries?

  55. Trance says:

    Aww – this is such a nicely compiled website.

    You have done a very good job Fiona – I am most definitely bookmarking your site, I found it fun to read so far, and made me conscious of my surroundings again, which is always a good thing.

    Thanks for putting this up for all of us.

    -Trance

  56. Sam Williams says:

    Wow i love your site :) Its very refreshing and interesting :) . Would the Janet Farrar that you are friends with be the famous Wiccan author? If so i am currently reading and studying some of her work, i would dlove it if you could tell her what a big fan i am :) Also i am going out to a woodland nearby me home that has always been special and magickal for me and setting up a few things to try and attract faries. Also the name i have used is an alias (sorry, but some past friends of mine are trying thier best to humiliate me) My real identity is the name of my email address. :D :D Thanks so much :D Your site has given me a nice ending to my hectic day :D

  57. Kissy says:

    yes, animals connnects with faeries too.. especially cats cats can see faeries too…………

  58. Lisa A says:

    Yes, animals can see faeries- A friend of mine’s puppy kept playing with something invisible in my friend’s faery garden in Arizona- and so she kept taking photos with her digital camera in those areas at night- A glowing white winged Being appeared in all of her photos!

  59. Del says:

    Hello, faeries do exist, along with all kinds of things. Those who violently deny that they live may be the decendants of those who thought the first match was evil. Time to open your mind for all kinds of possibilities in this world. These lovely creatures are my helpers, and I thank them. By the way, they really love a freshly baked cookie. :^)

  60. Tangent Fairy says:

    Hi Fiona,
    I kept seeing flitting shadows out of the corner of my eye, it almost looks like flapping wings. It started in the last few days, and the other night I had a very vivid dream about butterflies.
    In fact, I did a bit of a spring clean on my house in recent weeks which may explain why they might be suddenly around.
    I’ve believed in fairies for quite a while, but this is the first time I’ve really seen anything (well once I saw a green light in Glendalough – it’s in Wicklow, Ireland and has an abundance of fairies).
    Anyway just wanted everyone to know that it is possible to see them!
    Fairy Blessings :)

  61. Logan says:

    I just wanted to share an experience that my cousin Emily and I had one night. Okay, in my backyard we we have a pond with a dry rock river bed leading from trees on the left side of the yard (looking from the backdoor) that leads into the pond. On the right side of the pond we have our trailer which is closer to the right side of the wall. The pond is a kinda centered along the back wall of our yard, though there’s space to walk behind it without touching the wall. On the left and right side we have two willows that hang down slightly. In front of the pond we have a brick fire place a bit away. You kind ofhave a mental image now so you’ll get what I mean easier when I explain what we heard.

    It was really late, two or three in the morning, and we were sitting by the fireplace. My back was towards the trailer and angled slightly towards the willow on the right. Emily was sitting to my left and with her back towards the back door a bit more. We had both of our feet propped up on the edge of the bricks on the fireplace. I have an ocarina and I wanted to show her a couple of songs that I was working on so I played Mercedes’ Lullaby from Pan’s Labrynth. After I finished we just sat there for a moment and then we kinda started to hear footsteps coming from behind me, near the tree the gravel was crunching like slow footsteps, almost like someone was creeping up or trying to get a look without being caught. I sat and stared straight ahead, I never turned to look behind me but Emily turned to look over by the trees. I turned to herand asked ifshe heard it too. Sh said yeah and asked if the dogs were outside. The dogs were inside sleeping in my parents’ room so it wasn’t them. But then we started to smell herbs or something, kinda like sweet grass and vanilla? So we both turned to look at the tree and I could just feel eyes staring back. I turned to Emilyagain and asked if she could smell anything, she said it smelled like vanilla and then we heard the gravel shift again like someone was just moving their position. So I just looked at her and smiled, asking if she wanted to go in and she just laughed and said “Yes please!” When we got inside we went into the kitchen to to make tea. We have a window that juts out a kittle from the wall and into the back yard. After a few minutes I started to hear tapping on the wall near the window. Emily didn’t hear it at first but she heard it when something started tapping on the side of the window. We gave a soft smile and I waved out the window before we walked into the living room to talk and watch tv.

    We thought it was an interesting experience considering the full moon, the scent, the pond and that I had just been playing music. By the way an ocarina is a type of wind instrument, the closest thing I can think of would be a flute but it’s shaped differently. We thought you might have wanted to hear our story, there’s been other things that were odd but I’ll save those for now.

    I love this site, it’s had things that I was able to add to my notes on folklore and such. Emily and I are now working on creating a door for each of us to put in our houses, so we’re pretty excited to see how these turn out. Thank you so much for all of the information and time you put into your site :) !

    I want to start a fairy garden and have been drawing up some ideas for faerie houses. One of my ideas would need a soup can as the home’s main structure. Would the metal from the soup can repel faeries? Also I have seen many people who decorate the inside of these homes. Is it a must or can I leave it empty to allow the faerie to make it their own.

    Let us not hope that Ted has slain a faerie. Of course the fay folk exist. There are a large number of them in the woods near us, well, dryads at least. From what they tell me, they are long ago displaced by some event, which threatened their home of Palmyra. Perhaps the Withered Aegis? At any rate, many of them left the old country to venture to new, peaceful lands where they now propagate in safety.
    Having saved one, I have become friends and welcome with advance notice to many of their haunts. I have walked their halls and met a few of their queens. Phaedra has taken me flying and Naomi watches over my garden. My home is open to them despite their sometimes being a little pesky with their “borrowing” of certain things. But, I hold nothing against them, for this is simply how they are.
    I am told that a little girl in England was once allowed to photograph them, but since her, none but I have been allowed that they know of. I feel privileged.

    How do you know if you are part fae? Iron doesn’t burn me, but my body rejects it. I have been anemic my entire life and cannot take iron supplements without getting sick. Doctors have no idea why. My body builds up large amounts of static electricity. Anything with a battery (especially watches) go dead near me. I know it sounds crazy, but sometimes I just know things. I met my husband because I knew where he would be without any explanation. I tend to be a perfectionist and a little OCD about things being in order. I have always felt different from everyone else, but have never been sure why. After reading the info on your site, it just got me thinking…

  66. Fiona says:

    Kelly,

    A fae connection might explain some of what’s going on. In fact, your “symptoms” are consistent with what many other people — people who feel a fae connection — have said.

    It’s impossible for me to say whether you actually have faerie ancestry. I can only reference Irish traditions, where almost anyone with Milesian Irish ancestry probably has some Tuatha De Danann in his or her family tree.

    However, there are similar Scandinavian traditions regarding faerie ancestry, and I’m sure you’ll find other fae links in additional ethnic histories.

    Sincerely,
    Fiona

    Hello Patrick,

    The best way to find out about that location is to ask some of the older people in your area. They probably know all the local faerie sites and homes, but they may not expect anyone to believe them… so they often keep that information to themselves.

    Sincerely,
    Fiona

  68. Fiona Broome says:

    Brie,

    The best way to decide if the soup can will work… is to try it. Though the can many have some iron content, it might not bother your faeries.

    Mostly, it’s good to experiment and see what happens. Decorate it if you like; leave the inside “as is” if that seems right to you.

    Sincerely,
    Fiona Broome

    you are out of your mind!!! your all a bunch of freaking idiots to believe in such rediculous idiocracy. I came acrostyour site by accident and continued to browse it for hours just to make fun of how stupid it is.

  70. webmaster says:

    Well, Bob, if you have time to “browse [this site] for hours,” you have my sympathy. On many levels.

  71. Kelly says:

    Thank you for your response. As a matter of fact, I am of Irish and Cherokee Indian heritage. I guess it is possible I could have some Fae blood in me somewhere. Do you know of anyone who is part Fae? I am just wondering if there may be other things I could do that I am not aware of.

  72. Karen says:

    This is all very interesting. I have recently had a revelation of sorts that I probably have fae blood also. I am severely anemic, now at a life threatening stage and my body has been rejecting iron in all forms for about 2 yrs. My levels are now just under 8 and the Drs are trying pills but have very little hope and its not going well. I wonder what a persons to do… I am in the process of hiring someone to temporarily fill my position at work because my Dr doesn’t want me working around stress since my heart could fail at any point. So what happens once my levels drop even lower. I can hardly function on a day to day basis as is and it only gets worse almost daily. Any suggestions from other fae that have experienced this? I have a 13 yr old son and death simply isn’t an option. I need to fix this… yesterday.

  74. sacke says:

  75. Laura says:

    Dear Fiona I have seen things out of the corner of my eye since i was little,I’ve had dreams about faeries,I live in the middle of some woods, and I’m an artist so maybe I’ll see a faery some day.:)You said there are faeries in your house what is it like to live with them? P.S This site is AMAZING!

    I saw real fairies for the first time, that I remember in this life, that is, in 2011. They were the most gorgeous delicate beings I’ve ever flickered. . .they gave off a beautiful white glow that blinked on and off, NOT LIKE FIREFLIES. . .they were quite different. One appeared to me with delicat features that were barely visible with the human eye, and only for a short few seconds. . .I saw a fragile outline of a body, almost see through, like the sun shining through a katydid. The fairy was approximately three inches long with wings very like cicadas. . .I was enchanted!

  77. Michael says:

    I’ve had two bus cards mysteriously disappear from my room. The second one broke within a day of use (they are magnetic cards that save me money on the bus), and when I woke up today with the intention of calling the company to fix it, it’s all of a sudden gone.

    I have a strong feeling that some cheeky pixies or some other are behind this, and I can’t seem to get them to stop!

    Do you have any recommendations if you feel your things are being taken or hidden by the Fae? I hear they don’t like being disrespected but we *are* much bigger than them. I’ve said many times aloud in my room, “This ISN’T funny! GIVE IT BACK YOU LITTLE !@#$@!S!!!”

    So… I’m at wit’s end! I don’t even want to buy a new card!
