Faeries
The best place to research faery energy is not a book of magick, but tomes on myths, local
legends, and archeology. For example, if you say: "Guardians of the Watchtowers of the North
element of earth, and all ye in the realms of faery...." after a circle is cast, this is what you are
really saying:
I've cast a circle and called the Watchtowers from each compass direction to guard it.
I'm asking the element of earth (not the Elementals) to come in, and I'm calling everything
(both good and bad) from the realm of faery. What is going to be done with them depends
on the remainder of the quarter call. Do you really want to ask them to Witness and guard?
there are all sorts of Faeries some considered good, others not so good. Unlike an element or
elemental, the Faery realm encompasses many levels of intelligence, ethics and abilities. You
must choose wisely.
Here is a short table to get you started:
Direction King and Color Rule
East Paralda; Red Trees, flowers, winds, mountains
South Djin; White Fire, volcanoes, passions, fields
West Nixa; Grey Lakes, ponds, rivers, oceans
North Ghob; Black Earth, gems, minerals
Faery Lore in the 1990's is a hot bed of debate among magicians. Every culture
and every country has its own opinions on what Faeries are, where
they came from, whether they are real or not, and how they should or should not be used
In the Craft, there are two distinct uses of Faeries by those who are primarily interested
in the historical and archeological correctness of the information, and those who
turn more toward the mythical and creative aspects of working with Faeries. Since neither
sect has blown up, It is safe to let intuition be your guide.
