How to summon fairies

The entire court was dark/bad. It wasn't an issue until we broke up... that's when it got crazy.

She actually had a lot of issues. It didn't mix well with her beliefs and practices or sense of identity. Anywhos when it came to faries she showed me both the light and dark courts or seelie and unseelie or whatever they are called. I don't know how much of the lore she told me was real or how much was from fiction.
What I do know is that there was some bizarre things.

After we broke up a bunch of the dark fairies targeted me or at least the ones who didn't like me. It eventually stopped after a month or two but it wasn't fun. I hadn't ever seen some of that type of phenomena either before or after being with her.

Honestly I think she might of been using some form of trickery because of this, seeing as how it didn't totally reflect how I normally perceive magic and spirits.



Because the woman I was having lots of sex with wanted me to. I already was summoning my own spirits from my own religion so who was I to discriminate?



I think, historically, appeasement would be a more accurate term. People would give them offerings of honey. I don't think anyone would want to summon a fairy let alone do it if you go by the actual folklore. Presumably there was some instances where someone wanted to summon either a good one or an evil one to use against others for evil purposes. I wouldn't know in either case however.



One time that sticks out in my mind is seeing a small good fairy fly around for several days at a certain spot in her house. I didn't think much of it just thinking I was seeing some weird light phenomena. Eventually after a few days I remarked about it and she said it was a fairy and I didn't believe her until she was able to manipulate how it moved and everything. I hadn't ever seen anything like that before. Extremely rarely had I for even a fleeting moment had anything resembling "seeing" a spirit like we see the real world/natural world. So seeing what appeared to be one for several minutes was very unnerving.

This specific fairy could fit in your hand. But it was the only one I ever saw that could. Most could not and were roughly humanoid sized but I extra sensory perceived them as varying in height from 3 feet to 6 feet. By extra sensory I more mean it was like if you imagine or visualize something so intensely that you almost feel as if you can just almost see it, but you also "feel" it in a touch kind of way... it's very hard to really express as it's not a normal experience.
I've never had bad experiences with them, really. We honor our locals, ask them to help us care for the land. I usually see them as glimpses, dark and light shapes moving. We invite them to come indoors with us in the Winter months, as their outdoor activities seem to be more related to the growing season. It's sometimes like walking through a fog along the floor.

Once, my wife's ex called to talk about their son. At that time, we had a big planter in the living room that along with whatever plant, had a small windchime on it. The only time it would make a noise is if one of us brushed up against it. She was a bout six feet away on the other side of the planter, and I was a bout 10 feet away in the kitchen. I saw a motion moving from next to her down to the planter, and the chime rang, as if it had been hit very energetically. We both saw it, both heard it, and we both knew exactly what happened.

Another time, he came over to discuss their son, and as he sat at the table, I could see something down on the floor attacking his foot--kind of like a small dog pulling on a pants-leg. He never acknowledged it, but kept reaching down to scratch his leg. When he left, we thanked the local for its support!:p

Have you called upon them.
Why would I call upon them. We know they're there; they know we know they're there. We understand that they have things to do, but we do things to make sure they know us and are willing to put up with us: we share food, music, song, we talk to them, explain what we are doing and what we'd like them to do.

My son, who is handicapped, is apparently quite aware of them--and they like to make him laugh. One of the first nights I brought him out the house when my love and I first got together, you could see him watching things move around. One kept peeking around the furniture at him--I could see it well enough to tell it was there, and I could see his eyes following it. It would pop out and he would laugh. I asked him what was making him laugh (he has pretty good receptive vocabulary, but not much expressive.) He pointed and said, "He's funny!"

After I took him back to his mother's that night, I darkened the room, lit candles, sang a little and used to chimes to get their attention. I thanked them for entertaining my son, and explained about his handicap, and that he would be becoming a regular resident, and asked if they could please help us look out for him...and to please not make him laugh so much. And since then, they only do it a little.

That's about as close as I've come to "summoning" the fae.

Since Donald Trump's thing is National Security, I wonder why he doesn't propose the use of fairies to protect America?

Maybe the government does use them it's just classified.

That's cute :p

Can fairies enter a person, control their actions?

Well I only ever saw the one good fairy, 99% of the ones I've seen were bad fairies. I just know I don't have any interest in bothering with it ever again lol

Your experiences sound much more generally positive and carefree than my typical experience with spirits, actually.

Well, from the folklore and experiences I've heard about...no, their interests don't extend much to humans, and certainly they wouldn't feel any particular need to ally themselves with the government or any other group of humans, especially if the actions of the humans go against their interests. From the folklore, etc., it seems they are often at war, although their "war" often apparently includes matches of games similar to gaelic football or lacrosse.

I'm not sure about the idea that there are "two sides" engaged in a civil war. I can understand that some don't like humans and their activities, and want to hurt us, and others like us and want to help us, but I would guess that most don't care much about humans--just as most living things neither harm nor benefit humans. I don't think they are organized on a global scale, although I suppose they could be, but everything I've heard and experienced suggests they are almost entirely local, and individuals rarely go more than a short distance away from their place.

That's cute :p

Not that I've ever heard about.

From your description, I think that had a lot to do with your partner at the time; and it may have something to do with you, too; please don't take that as a negative. Every person is different, and the way the rest of the universe might interact with them is going to be different, too. I know there are humans that I just bristle at, and others I'm comfortable with from the word "hello." I think it's the same with the nonhumans we encounter. If you were working with other deities, other spirits, then there's always the possibility that those in some way conflict with the fae you were encountering.

It's clear that at least one of our locals really, really dislikes my wife's ex, but it doesn't seem to bother us or anyone else as far as we can tell, so it must be about their relationship in particular. We do on occasion have negative things around (especially when my stepson was still married and they came to live with us for awhile--his now-ex was a magnet for negative, disruptive things), but we also deal with those in a respectful manner.

One thing that occurs to me through this discussion is that many humans seem to have this idea that other spirits--God, other deities, the fae, ghosts, etc.--are just sitting around most of the time with nothing to do, and are just waiting for a human to summon them or command them or worship them or contact them...

I don't think so. I think they're busy with their own existences, doing their own things--which for the most part have nothing to do with us humans--and for us to summon or invoke, etc., is not unlike when you're sitting at home or at work, or out with friends, and doing whatever it is you do, and someone comes knocking at your door unexpected, or keeps phoning you at all hours of the day or night to pester you about something that is, to you, a distraction, an inconvenience, an effort, or not at all important...:confused:o_O:eek::oops::rolleyes:

A mentality that is sadly prevalent even amongst religious demographics that ought to know better... :sweat:

At any rate, there's a bug in the back of my mind telling me to make a short study of proper fae lore. It's something I reacted badly to when first learning about the contemporary Pagan community, because I had the typical pop culture notions about "fairies" and not much beyond that. Now, I know just enough to know better, but not enough to really speak much to the topic. For all I know, the various spirits I develop relationships are basically "fae" according to the lore, but I have no idea.

I can remember even as a young child when I first saw Disney's Fantasia, in the Sorcerer's Apprentice segment, wondering why the sorcerer was summoning the spirit? Seemed like a stupid exercise to me, for no purpose. I understood Mickey's interest in using magic to get his chores done. But even at that age, I recognized the danger of trying to use power we (I) don't understand and don't have mastery of to accomplish mundane goals. Don't ask for help you don't really need, and if you do really need help, be sure you're asking for only the help you need...and be ready for consequences anyway!

I haven't read all the lore, either (in part because there's a lot of it from different cultures), but I classify as "fae" all the local land, water, and air spirits we would associate with nature...as well as the hearth and home spirits that occur in many traditions, which I think are the same kind of critters that have just decided to move in with us because we're here...our domesticity appeals to them. Ever read the children's book "The Tomten?"

Yes, I'm too old for my pastor now :(

Now back to the topic of the fairies. For those of you who have seen fairies , do you think you could go to Google Images and tell me which one most resembles him/her.

If you know somebody that mingles with them, perhaps ask them what their favorite fairy looks like?

Are there certain places where fairies gather more than others? Do they look like Homo sapiens or do their wings make noise?

I think they like to do their business in private, only letting those who are worthy see.

Are they Caucasian? Usually they are in the pictures, but I think that's because they were first seen in Europe.

I can whip a demon's butt, I ain't afraid of no fairy. I'd slap a fairy around like a glittery mosquito.

You sure about that?
