Working with the Fairy Realm Energy

The Fairy world is so very closely related to nature and as such fairies and the animal spirit guides tend to work very closely together. Working with fairy energy is simple (in a back to nature only the basics kind of way) but slightly more complicated than the animal world. Meaning the fairies can take on a tad more personality and difference of focus.

To even take on the task of defining the fairies guides is enough to fill a small library of information, legends, and lore. For each realm of fairies takes on very different responsibilities and roles than another realm of fairies.

Both the fairies and animal spirit guides take on the role of caretakers of nature. While the animal spirit guides tend to take on more of the different aspects of personality in nature; i.e. the sly, cunning, wise aspects of the fox; the fairies tend to align themselves with the physical aspect of nature. There are as many types of fairies as there are stars in the sky, and each tends to akin themselves to a specific type of plant, mineral, or occasionally an animal. There are fairies of the primrose and those of the petunia, fairies of the oak tree and those of the lilac bush, and then there are those that are akin to the horse and the raccoon.

Each of the types of fairies have their own kingdom and ruler ships. Mermaids, gnomes, trolls, ogres, are also of these kingdoms. Woodland and nature fairies are what we commonly think off from this spirit world but many exist, some not yet known or long removed from human awareness. The most popular, or maybe to say better known of the fairies are the following types:

Elves: Scandinavian lore tells us of the Elven fairies that are kind, generous, and very wise. Dealing with these forms of fairies can teach us much about how to live in balance with nature. Legend says that gifts of honey and sweets to the Elves will be returned in kind.

Dryads: The teaching of the Celts and the Druids tells us of the Dryads that are closely associated to the trees of the forest. Dryads are strong and enduring, living within the hollow of the tree in perfect balance.

Dwarves: The legends of dwarves are varied and wide throughout Europe, and they can be found deep within the mountains, for they align themselves with the minerals of the deep earth. Dwarves are very slow to change and tend to be unmovable on what they feel is important at the time.

Gnomes: The realm of the gnomes is usually deep within the old forest. Gnomes tend to be a little closer to the realm of mankind, lovers of gadgets and machines. The gnomes are curious and very knowledgeable about the physical properties of our realm. Work with the gnomes when you need to gain a deeper understanding of the mechanics or the physical world.

Goblins: Goblins show no favor or quarter to the realm of mankind. The goblins are very closely aligned with the sediments of the earth and the process of decay. Because of this association with the earth’s process of breaking down elements back to the basic form goblins are often considered evil. Often the profile of the goblin was used to create many of the gargoyles seen today that guard the roof tops and ward evil from the churches.

Leprechauns: Irish legend and lore teaches us of the leprechauns that are akin to the clover. As the mankind evolved many a leprechaun endeared themselves to the ways of men, finding shiny gold as treasure and beloved of a fine ale or beer.

Mermaids: While many a sailor has been accused of mistaken a mermaid for a manatee or seal, it is the way of this fairy of the sea. The mermaid is akin to the seals and manatee even to the point of being able to shape shift into the seal or manatee.

Pixies: Pixies are a general term for the mischievous type of fairy of the forest is committed to making pranks upon the people that are near. If the pixies have taken to hiding your items, take to music, song, and dance to appease there love of celebration.

Sidhe: Fairy of the Irish lore and legend that is closely aligned with the rose. Planting roses in your yard will almost assuredly attract this fairy realm to you. Working with the realm of Sidhe can actually teach one the areas of beauty, design, and elegance of the forest.

Sprites : The sprite fairy often appears in a glow as if in spirit form. They are closely associated with the oak and the acorn. Their season is that of the fall and the time of the harvest.

Working with fairy energy can be interesting to say the least. Fairy energy can bring you closer to realizing how everything in our world is so closely connected. Even a single action in the realm or our environment can bring about a myriad of consequences. I once cleared part of my property without asking permission of that fairy domain, and spent the next three years having my personal items constantly hidden from me.

The energy of the fairy is focused much like that of a child; innocent, focused, and delights in the simplest of things. And they can get upset; as have been the brownies since the encroachment and disregard man has developed for nature. So appease fairy energy when you have the privilege of working with it. Offerings of honey in the garden, milk in some cultures, can go a long way with these wonderful beings.

Most common methods of connecting with fairy energy is:

Physical sensitivity, astral travel, meditation, lucid dreams, and vision quests.
