Nervous and Unsure - Faeries?

(1/2) > >>

Bracken_Reedweb:
I've always been a very whimsical and imaginative person. I've always preferred doing things like listening to music, playing music, dancing, drawing, painting, reading, and just walking through the park, the forest, or along the beach to things like sports, video games (With the exception of "The Legend of Zelda" and "World of Warcraft", of course...), going to the mall, etc. I've never liked loud, crowded places. I like quiet and solitude. I spend the majority of my free time daydreaming.

I've always felt a sort of connection to the supernatural, and I've always been deeply fascinated by it. Ever since I can remember, I've wondered about witches, faeries, and mermaids especially. I've always felt that these things, these beings, were absolutely necessary to our world, and that, if you I really wanted to, I could see them if I tried. But up until yesterday, I had never tried.

I had been feeling especially curious about faeries for the past week or so. I made up my mind that I would try to contact them, try to see them and possibly even talk with them. I went to countless websites, trying to find the best way to do it. One website in particular recommended that I plant a garden full of the faeries favorites plant and flowers, that I plant one or two of their favorite trees. I had already planned to do that this spring anyway. The next thing that the site recommended was to create a faerie altar. I cleared off a small wooden table (It's very pretty, it's painted white and has swirls and leaves carved into the side) and made it my faerie altar by placing a round pink wood-woven basket, a glass vase filled half-way with clear stones and water, a fresh pink rose, a glass egg-shaped statue with red swirls inside of it (very pretty), a glass candle-holder, and a plain white unscented candle. I lit the candle and left to do the last thing that the site had recommended, blowing bubbles and meditating.

It was about 8:30 pm. when I went out, so it was pretty dark. The only light in my backyard was coming from the windows of my house and the small colored lights that are hung around the railing of the deck. I went out into the middle of the yard, sat down cross-legged, asked quietly if there was anyone out there and if so, would they like to play with me, then began to blow bubbles. In between blowing bubbles, I would, in the same quiet voice as before, talk about how much I liked bubbles, ask them if they liked bubbles too. I told them that I had picked out strawberry-scented bubbles especially for them, I asked if they liked the strawberry scent, and if they didn't, I would be more than happy to buy a different scented bottle of bubbles or an unscented one. Right around the time I started asking them questions like that, the wind started blowing. Now, the air had been completely still just a moment before, then it suddenly blew very hard. It may have just been a coincidence, but nevertheless, I smiled and continued to blow bubbles and quietly speak to the faeries. After a while, I started to get cold, so I politely aid that I was getting cold and that I was going to go back inside now. I said that i would come back out the next night and blow more bubbles and talk some more. Right as I got up to go inside, I heard the grass rustling as though something or someone was running through it, and I heard the faintest sound of giggling. I smiled and went back inside.

Before I went to bed, I put a couple cookies (very buttery-tasting flower-shaped cookies with a dollop of green icing on top), three slices of French bread (one buttered, one sprinkled with sugar, and one plain), a small yellow cake with lemon icing, two royal icing flowers, and a small saucer of warm milk with honey. I said as I was placing the offerings in the basket that the treats were an offering to the Fair Folk out of love and respect for them.

I went to bed and fell asleep almost immediately.

I woke up about an hour and a half later, at 12:30 am. I tried to go back to sleep but I couldn't (which is very odd for me because I almost never have any trouble sleeping) I heard rustling coming from the direction of my faerie altar, it sounded like the basket was being brushed up against. I also heard lapping sounds, as though the milk in the saucer was being drunk. At first I thought it was my cat, Butterscotch, but she was curled up right beside me on the bed, staring in the direction of my faerie altar. I looked over at the altar, but all I saw was the flicker of the candle burning. I eventually fell back asleep sometime around 1:40. I woke up again at about quarter-to-three, heard the same noises, looked over, didn't see anything and went back to sleep. When I woke up this morning, at 7:00, I walked over and examined the altar. Everything was exactly as I left it, except for the candle had burnt out, and the offerings all had a plastic look and feel to them.

I'm not sure if my trouble sleeping and the noises I heard were faeries or just the result of how nervous I was about trying to contact them. I truly believe in faeries and I always have. I want more than anything to contact them, but I feel like my fear and nervousness will offend them or make them especially wary of me.

Do any of you have any advise, or anything to say about my experience?

Bracken_Reedweb:
Oh! Well, the candle was in a high glass holder, so it wasn't touching anything, and all cloth, plastic, and any other such flameable things were a safe distance away. My mother almost always has candles lit in our house, so I thought it would be alright, but I'll definitely be very careful with candles and fire!

And I know witches aren't supernatural beings like faeries or mermaids, what I meant was that I've always been fascinated by the way they do things, spells, just their spirituality in general. I think it's amazing that humans are capable of such a thing!

Thank you for replying!

Broken Window:
That is highly interesting. Have you tried to contact them since?
I believe in the probability that they could have come in your room in the middle of the night. Specially if you heard giggling. It's hard to say though. Have you had any luck in the past couple months?

PantheraLeo:
This is highly fascinating, I'd recommend trying it again, maybe without the candle...as ladygriffin said, kind of dangerous..especially if fae of some sort is entering your house, even fae can be clumsy and knock things over.

One word of warning though...Fae can be mischievous and not all nicey nicey as people think, pixies especially.

Try leaving out some elderflower wine aswell, I've heard of that working before.

Keep us posted.

As long as the entity did not talk to you, it can be any animal (through some animals do talk).
