THIS MAGIC STONE WELCOMES FAIRIES INTO YOUR GARDEN!

Connecting with the fairy (or “fae”) world is a marvelous adventure that shouldn't be taken lightly. When interacting with the Fae you must learn the proper manners and customs just as you do when going about your day to day life or visiting a different country. The Fae have very different morals, customs and social behaviour than us and can get offended very easily.

PROPER ETIQUETTE AND INTERACTION PROTOCOLS WITH THE FAE:

1. Do not say THANK YOU! This admits that you are in debt to them and they will expect that you pay them back. Debts and contracts can get messy with the Fae, even dangerous.

2. Do not give them your real name! Especially your full name because this gives them power over you. Instead use your witch name or fake name… say “you may call me *blank*” because you technically aren’t lying to them.

3. Do not accept food or drink from them! As the myth of Persephone and Hades states, eating the food of the faerie realm will forever tie you to that world.

4. Do not mention a new born! Faeries are very fond of children and you may end up with a changeling. Faeries may also mess around with your kid sometimes and curse them if you make them mad.

5. DO NOT LIE! As it is believed faeries cannot lie, they do not like being lied to but if you have to, twist your words to get them to believe you but do not lie! I wouldn’t risk twisting your words too much because they are masters at this and can see right through, I would only attempt if you are very well spoken.

6. Always keep your promise! Promises are very sacred to the fae and hold a lot of power so if you break a promise, expect there to be some angry faerie cursing you.

7. Do not accept a gift! This also admits debt to them and they will expect something in return of equal or greater value.

8. There’s always strings attached! Don’t expect to make contracts with the fae and not have to worry about loopholes because they love twisting their words so you end up with the short end of the stick

9. Don’t be a loud mouth! If a fairy bestows a blessing upon you, you shouldn’t go around telling people about it because it may just turn sour.

10. Don’t be a snoop! Respect a faerie’s privacy because they value their privacy a lot and they don’t trust humans often so if you lose their trust…oh boy you’re in for something alright.

11. Don’t dance! Dancing with the fae, to faerie music or in the fae realm often ends in stories of dancing to your death.

12. Absolutely no Iron! Cold iron weakens and repels the fae, to carry iron while interacting with the fae will offend the crap out of them.

13. Debts will always be repayed! If you do something of service to the fae there will often be a reward but remember rules 1 and 9.

14. Do not say SORRY! Again this admits being in deep debt to them.

15. Always be the utmost polite to them! The fae may not always be the nicest but they are always well spoken, well mannered but also see themselves as higher than you, so treat them with the most respect and get on their good side.
