So, when I was at the ren faire, I found a booth called Spritekin Grove, and they had the CUTEST thing!
I'll put the text here too, because it's a little hard to read.
Deadname Removal by the Fae.
When a name is set to babe at birth,
A loving welcome to the earth.
With good intentions and wish bestowed,
And hopes to serve till they grow old...
Sometimes, the choosing, a challenge made.
As some babes face a harder fate.
For a body doesn't make a soul,
And in the wrong skin, we can't feel whole.
Trapped because the skin won't match,
For we are trans, and quite the catch!
But needing change to mend the wound,
A name that fits would be a boon!
Thus this book the Fae have bound,
For when a truer name you've found,
Your given name to give as price,
And claim the name that feels so nice!
Your old name will whisk away,
And give it to a Spritekin Fae.
And they will be such happy friends,
And use your name to better ends.
That name's no longer yours, you see!
You've traded it as a Farrie Fee!
And once a Farrie deal you make,
It's made for good! Make no mistake!
So never more will you be known,
As the name with which your skin was grown.
But the name you choose will always be.
The one that fills your heart with glee!
For that's what makes it your in sooth.
A name's a word that fits your truth!
It matters not from whence it came,
Or who gave to you your birthing nam.
For those who love us deep and true,
Will honor an name we choose,
And call us that which brings us joy,
And care not if we're girl or boy!
And so if you would make the trade,
Call a Keeper (attendant) hither!
And in this book, please write your name,
And leave it here forever.
A new name you may freely choose,
(tho one is not provided.)
The cost in charge is freely paid
(No fae deal is one-side!)
If someone calls that old name now,
They must be calling someone else!
That name is you no more.
So, will you take the pen and write,
If so, you're free to do so now,
Guys??? I'm crying??? I was too shy to write down a my name, but still! It's beautiful. The people who ran the stand were amazing. Me and my siblings each got a Spritekin, which are these little buddies that the fae put magic in for us. They don't have names untill you adopt them, and if you can't think of a name, they bring out a jar of little papers that have the names from the book.
This is mine, his name is Billy. I named him myself. I adopted him because he had a mad face, and I was scared no one else was gonna adopt him because of it.
This is my little brother's Spritekin. His name is Berry. Berry got his name from the jar. He has a broken arm, but that's okay. If you break the Spritekin, you can take them back to the Keepers, who can fix them!
This is my little sister's Spritekin. Her name is Pebbles, she named it.
The website is spritekingrove.com you can find upcoming events, and you can contact the Keepers!
