Nymphs and

Naiads. The magic

creatures of wood

and stream. They

have been

represented at the

protectors of

nature and in a

large number of

stories, they align

themselves with a

particular area.

A common

misconception

about the Fae, is

that faeries are a

singular species,

however in fact

the elves (dark,

light, tree etc.),

trolls, sprites,

will-o-the-wisp,

little people and a

thousand other

names describe

the inhabitant of

the world of Fae.

Dancing to tinkling sounds in

golden light.

Ah! Only in dreams have we

seen such wonderus sights.

Attracting Faeries To Your Garden

Create a garden that is conductive to all life. Put up birdhouses, birdbaths and bird feeders, bat houses and hummingbird feeders.

Plant flowers and plants that are attractive to bees and butterflies. Faeries are attracted to any place where there are butterflies. Put nuts out for the squirrels.

Whatever you do to bring life to your garden will bring faeries as well.

Here is a short list of plants that attract beautiful butterflies and faeries to your garden:

Achillea millefolium (common yarrow)

Aster novi-belgii (New York aster)

Chrysanthemum maximum (shasta daisy)

Coreopsis grandiflora/verticillata (coreopsis)

Agastache occidentalis (western giant hyssop or horsemint)

Lavendula dentata (French lavender)

Rosemarinus officinalis (rosemary)

Thymus (thyme)

Buddleia alternifolia (fountain butterfly bush)

Buddleia davidii (orange-eye butterfly bush, summer lilac)

Potentilla fruitiosa (shrubby cinquefoil)

Petunia hybrida (common garden petunia)

Verbena (verbenas, vervains)

Scabiosa caucasica (pincushion flowers)

Cosmos bipinnatus (cosmos)

Zinnia elegans (common zinnia)

Install a small fountain or waterfall or put in a fishpond. You might want to include statues of faeries. Anything that reflects light or is colourful and moving particularly attracts the gnomes and elves. Both faeries and water sprites like the splashy sound and sight of a fountain.

Leave an area of your garden a bit wild and not too cultivated. Faeries. It need not be a large space, but having one area that is dedicated to the faeries will make them feel very welcome.

Ask faeries and elves to come to your garden. "Where Intention goes, energy flows." Whatever you place your conscious awareness on, you will pull into your life. As you put your attention on faeries and gnomes and the elemental realm, they will respond by being drawn into your garden.
