"Elves have houses for nearly everything. We have bird houses, doll houses, dog houses, faerie houses, boat houses, spirit houses, tree houses, sheds for our tools, garages for our cars and all of them we seek to make beautiful. And yet, some of us

The quaint midsummer fairies and their kin,
Gnomes, elves, and trolls, on blossom, branch, and grass
Gambol and dance, and winding out and in

Leave circles of spun dew where’er they pass.
Through the blue ether the freed Ariel flies;

I am born as the sun,
But then turn into the moon,
As my blonde hairs turn
Grayish-white and fall to
The ground,
Only to be buried again,
Then to be born again,
Into a thousand suns
And a thousand moons ..

“Tonight, in Faerie, we’ll dance till dawn
and you, dear kindred, may come along,
for Faerie is where we all belong
as we sing this song together.”

Fairy Frolic

By a silver fountain,
In a magic hour,
Once I saw a Fairy,
Lovely as a flower;
Rainbow morning-glories
Watched her from above;
Waterlilies peeped beneath,
Just to show their love.

Fast as almond petals
On a windy day,
Little white

"Now we muse upon the days,
when morning mist did turn to haze
and through the haze the folk did come
to dance and sing and beat the drum,
and round and round we circled 'bout,
and sometimes yelled out with a shout,

"Faerie, Faerie misty glow
within my heart your truth to know
the way that leads us to that land
where kindred join in heart and hand."

I shall lose myself
If only, for a day
A faery tale it shall be”

ELVEN BLESSINGS TO ALL KINDRED ON THIS MAY 1ST!

"If we repeat ourselves,
it’s a chant;
if we rhyme,
it is a spell;
and if we add a bit of music,
it’s a magic we know well.
If we do all three together,
it’s enchantment at it’s core
that dances throug

The Dandelion Fairy

Here’s the Dandelion’s rhyme:

See my leaves with tooth-like edges;
Blow my clocks to tell the time;
See me flaunting by the hedges,
In the meadow, in the lane,
Gay and naughty in the garden;
Pull me up—I grow again,

Come away, O human child,
To the waters and the wild,
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.

If this scene in Donegal isn't the stuff of fairy tales, then I don't know

"We do not close the portal, we do not shut the way, everyone is welcome on each and every day, the map exists within you, the path is very clear, reach out to Faerie in your heart and you'll be almost here."

Faerie Magic . . . .

"Faerie magic is hedge magic. It's garden magic, too.
It's magic of the thickets and the misty morning dew.
It springs up with the wild flowers and moss in forest vales
and ivy climbing up the walls and ferns so light and frai

"The quiet of the woodlands, the tenderness of Faerie,
the whisper in the wilderness doth silent voices carry,
listen well within you and there a sigh you'll hear,
as all that you did wonder on doth suddenly come clear."

“Blind folk see the fairies.
Oh, better far than we,
Who miss the shining of their wings
Because our eyes are filled with things
We do not wish to see.

Deaf folk hear the fairies
However soft their song;
‘Tis we who lose the honey sound

The Geranium Fairy

Red, red, vermilion red,

With buds and blooms in a glorious head!

There isn’t a flower, the wide world through,

That glows with a brighter scarlet hue.

Her name—Geranium—ev’ryone knows;

She’s just as happy wherever

snowy white and yellow beads

a sunshine face of pearly rays

a golden smile like royal maids

wayside meadows garden beds

spotted are the Daisy heads
