I found this acorn cup in the garden and it brought back a remembrance of my mother telling me as a child that the faerie folk used them as cups and bowls.

Me: Oh, whoops...sure hope no FAE PRINCE comes and steals me away!!

I drew Aisling and Pangur Ban’s spirit form from “The Secret of Kells” after watching it for St. Patrick’s Day.

Stepping into Elphame

I’ve never worked with Faeries before and only researched them, it’s just not an area of study I’ve applied myself to but they popped up recently on my feed and I’d thought I’d just recount a little story.

2 years ago I spent a weekend with my mates in Bellingham, it’s a lovely isolated place in the Penine Way bordering on Scotland. Three of us went walking down a nature trail called Hareshaw Linn. I can not describe the beauty of this place; the streams, the waterfalls, the groves of snowbells, Just the air was electrifying and the atmosphere was otherworldly.

My friends were joking that we were in fairy-land but there were so many natural tree arches that we passed I was thinking ‘what if we really are in Elphame’ my supernatural spidey sense kicked in and it was telling me to leave. Again not knowing a great deal about Faeries I didnt know the procedure on how to greet or honour them, and it wasn’t as if i could break into a full magical procedure so we finished the walk and turned back.

We finished the trail and my two friends walked ahead of me, near the end of the path out of the woods I apologised to the trees, the rivers and the flowers for potentially trespassing. I felt a little bit insane, but it felt the right thing to do. And to practise any form of magic you need a dash of eccentricity.

Faeries interest me a great deal, England has such strong ties with them, perhaps it’s time i research into them more.

Anyone out there got some words of wisdom regarding Faeries? Best books to read regarding them? Have you conjured them? Anything, I’d love to know your thoughts and opinions.

When you come to the edge of all that you know, you must believe one of two things: either there will be ground to stand on, or you will be given wings to fly.
