Creating A Shrine To the Fey
If you have a place outdoors where you can create a permanent shrine,
Then do so--otherwise you will need a large planter (at least 2' wide
And 3' deep) and a bag of dirt for this spell, in addition to the
Other elements.
You will need one or a combination of the following plants (and
Remember, if you grow these indoors and have pets or children, some
Plants may be dangerous/poisonous ):
Violets
Bluebells (do not grow indoors---it is considered ill fortune to
Bring blue
Bells into the house)
Foxglove (large and not really for indoor use)
Pansies
Lily of the valley
Geraniums (ideally suited towards the outdoors but can be grown
Inside)
Miniature tea roses
Ivy plants
A ceramic dish, very pretty in nature
Eight quartz crystals about 1-2" long each
Eight silver dimes
Small windchimes (do not buy cast iron ones for this spell)
Smudge stick
First, you will want to stake out your area for the shrine. If this
Is indoors, then you want to decide where you are going to locate the
Planter. Smudge the area and ask the land/housespirits to welcome the
Shrine. You might say:
"Spirits of the land (house), I bring today a new shrine to honor the
Wild folk, and ask that you bless and keep this space sacred. Blessed
Be."
Then invoke one of the Goddesses of Faerie (Mielikki, Morgana,
Titania, Blodeuwedd, Flidhais, etc.) and say:
"Oh Gracious Queen of Fey, wild thou art, and not of my world yet
Connected to my world. I ask that they look over this shrine, protect
And bless it, even as I keep it in honor of your subjects and the
Faerie Magick that you hold innate within your soul."
If you are planting this indoors, then you should fill the planter
Almost to the top with soil. If you are doing this outdoors, dig a
Hole in the center of the area to be the shrine.
In both cases: lay the eight crystals in a spoked pattern, deosil, in
The center of the hole. Then place the dimes between the crystals.
Cover with a very light layer of soil. Place the bowl on top of the
Crystals/silver so that the lip is just slightly above the top of the
Ground/soil. Fill in around the bowl. Now plant the flowers and ivy
In a circle around the perimeter of the planter/shrine area.
Smudge the area again and water the plants. Hang the windchimes
Nearby, preferably over the shrine. Now fill the bowl with milk or
Full moon water and say:
"Faeries, denizens of that Otherworld, I call to the and invite you
Here to this shrine I have created for you. Bless my garden, my life
And my house, even as I tend to this ritual space now dedicated to
You and your world.
Blessed Be."
From now on, you need to keep this tended--keep the weeds out, make
Sure the bowl is filled as needed, keep people from toying with
It...perhaps at times leave a crust of bread or something in addition
To the milk. Never, ever let iron rest near this shrine.
