Welcome, Blossom
Iam delighted to share with you this treasury of spells that I have crafted with the energy and magick of the worlds of the Faerie. I have travelled the paths of particular Faeries and their stories from all over the world, across many cultures and throughout time to bring their wisdom to you. Among them are also spells I have woven for you that embody aspects of those Faeries known as Nymphs, Brownies, Elves and Pixies, and of Sidhe and Leprechauns.
Although this book is mainly about Faeries of myth and legend, you will recognise others I have included from more modern literature. Their inclusion is important: I believe that those who describe the Faeries of their imagination and hearts in books, plays and music are moved by the energy that the Fae impart to this world.
Before we start, you must promise me that you will take my advice and follow closely all I share with you about the Fae in this book of spells, for the Faerie folk do not like to be upset, meddled with or taken advantage of. Many, indeed, are not all that pleasant to humans as their lives and business have nothing to do with us so, out of respect and for your safety, I have not included them in this book.
All Faeries are guardians of the natural world and have a special place in their hearts for flowers. In this book you will find a scattering of spells that focus on a flower and the Faerie of that flower. These are my special Faerie spells and I hope they help you discover for yourself the Faeries that I know are tending silently the blossoms in your own garden, as well as woodlands, fields and parks.
Read well the section ‘Working with Faerie’ and please ensure that you follow the opening and closing of each spell carefully because even the most benevolent and helpful of the Faerie folk will not tolerate rudeness or excuse ignorance in those who wish to work magically with them.
Please take the time to explore more about each of the Faeries I have shared with you. I have included some important resources that will help you understand their world and work more respectfully with them.
Enjoy this book of Faerie spells! I wish that it brings you much happiness and wonderment and fills your heart with Faerie goodness.
May Nature bless you always, but I hope that you too will be the blessing that Nature needs!
Bunches of blessings,
Cheralyn
How to Use This Book
It’s never an easy task to create a book of magick instruction to suit everyone. We are all on different paths, with different beliefs and varying levels of experience and I do not believe that these things should bar anyone from experiencing or practising Nature Magick. In order to be safe and work safely for others and your environment, you must first educate yourself in these ways of working. Make sure you read through all the sections of this introduction as they will give you this knowledge. It is simple but vital when creating and casting spells.
Those more experienced in spellcrafting and casting, or who have dedicated and defined paths in their own beliefs, may be able to skim the following instruction pages and dive straight into the spells, experimenting and exploring new paths which may open up, enhance or complement their work. However I suggest that everyone read through the first section in order to familiarise themselves with the foundations on which I have presented this book of Nature Magick.
Whether you are a complete beginner or have some experience, Section One will provide a good grounding in safe and best practice when creating and casting spells. This section also explains, in detail, what a spell is and how it works.
I have shared sixty spells that I have written over my life. They focus on Faeries and their energies with an emphasis on plants and their flowers, and are arranged in smaller chapters by their use so that you can quickly find a spell that suits your needs. Make sure you observe the instructions I have given and any instructions you already use each time you are creating and casting spells.
All steps to using each spell are clearly explained along with simple, everyday ingredients and tools to create them. I also share additional interesting and helpful tips with each spell to enrich your experience working with Nature, so you can get to know the Faeries a little better.
At the end of this collection, I provide a special journal – a place to keep your own spells. In preparation for creating your own spells, I have included a simple guide to writing your own magick and then a collection of beautiful pages that you may use to keep your Faerie spells together with mine.
What if you don’t have access to your own plants?
As wonderful as it would be to access every plant on earth, no matter where you found yourself, the reality is that you cannot. I have given you alternate plants that you may be able to source and that hold similar energies, but I would also encourage you to dry your own plants when they are available and create or source essences, candles, incenses and other botanical treasures from trusted suppliers, so you always have a magickal apothecary to rely on.
What if you don’t have access to a private outdoor space?
Some of the spells in this book suggest that you cast them outdoors, however you may not have access to your own garden or have a private nature reserve nearby. It is understandable that you may not feel comfortable creating a magickal spell in public or be able to hold the focus required with an audience. In this case, I suggest you create an indoor sacred space. Plants, flowers, an open window and images of Nature can all help create an area that will help you connect with Nature for your spell casting.
What if you don’t have plants at all?
To further focus energy or to connect with plants when you do not have access to them, imagery in the form of artwork, photos, your sketches or oracle cards can be used. I feel it is very important to see the plant to connect with its unique energy.
What Is a Spell and How Does It Work?
Aspell is a combination of ingredients, tools, actions and focus, which come together energetically to create change. Timings (when you cast your spell) can also be observed to ensure added power.
K TIMINGS
Timings can be moon or astrological phases, seasonal times and also correspondences that connect with days of the week or hours of the day or night.
