  • The Calling

    The Calling

    Day and night until today
    For their own needs all people prayed
    Their little worlds of woes and fears
    Their little ones, all near and dear
    Each one worried for their own
    For their own things their love was shown
    Mundane are lives so full of care
    Victims of their own despair
    And all along all of this time
    While most were I, me, self and mine
    A world of wonders hid in dark
    Unseen by all except a spark
    Those few who cared of things unknown
    Who looked beyond what was their own
    Who let their egos melt and merge
    Into the One who they researched
    Who focused, wondered and rejoiced
    Who stood their ground and made their choice
    Inspite of those who tried to kill
    Their wisdom, knowledge and free will
    Yes witches, wizards, people wise
    Survived the darkness, force and lies
    They patiently awaited for
    A time reborn just like before
    When sense and righteousness return
    When people care to live and learn
    The truths and mysteries of olde
    Those things that turned to stories told
    The legends, lore and myths all great
    The ways to spin the yarns of fate
    Those things you read in fairytales
    Might just be true, follow the trails
    The fairies, dragons, gnomes and sprites
    And elements of power and might
    The gods and goddesses are near
    They want to see your love, not fear
    All aspects of the universe
    Parts of your soul you are meant to search
    They are all around and all about
    You never really gave a shout
    Magick right below your nose
    And all you saw were your own toes
    You shrunk your mind and closed your heart
    Refusing to accept your part
    In your delusion you were stoned
    You thought the earth was human owned
    For those who wanted all the power
    Spread their darkness very far
    They broke the bridges to your soul
    They blocked intuition, burnt the lore
    They spread false fears and spoilt the name
    So that the witches hung in shame
    But you can’t hide the light for long
    Soon the flame will burn all strong
    For the Goddess is alive
    She is your spirit and your life
    Worship Her, your higher self
    Better still, just cast a spell
    But think beyond just little things
    Soar above, now find your wings
    About your higher nature learn
    Retrace your path, to Her return

  • A Very Very Faery Thing

    A Very Very Faery Thing

     

    THE MAGICK OF FAERIES

    What are Fairies (or Faeries as they are more properly called)? Are they little people with butterfly wings fluttering about like Tinkerbell? Or powerful energy beings of nature with various magickal traits to protect and help the goddess and nature everyday.

    Those of you who love and honour nature and believe in Magick will surely have a wonderful connection with Faeries who will be very positive to you in your magickal development. Faeries dislike selfish or dishonest people while blessing and guiding those who are virtuous and helpful to nature and the universe. If you do not believe in them and do not wish to experience magick you will never find them.

    While Faeries can take countless forms – male or female, human or animal like, or flowers, plants, crystals and anything you can imagine…they will connect with you and appear to you only if you activate your inner sight and purify your spirit.

    Negative or demonic energy beings or bad faeries will not be attracted to you – as like attracts like and you choose to be a positive person. Angels and other positive faeries will be attracted to you instead. Angels are the positive faery beings or energy beings that help humans while there are also many many other varieties of positive energy beings besides angels that help nature too. Faeries of nature are especially attracted to witches who do good work for the betterment of nature and not just for selfish human desires. It is our aim at Earth Healing Temple of Magick that we humans come back into balance and harmony with nature through awareness of this sacred path of Wicca and all the hidden magick of nature that shapes our lives through our intentions.

    Some popular faerie beings of legend and lore:

    1. Dragons and Salamanders

    Like the astral salamander seen in the camera at Magick, dragons or drakes are beings of fire or light. They are popular in ancient celtic as well as chinese folklore and make popular feng shui relics. They bring treasures or guard treasures such as ‘Smaug’ of Hobbit by Tolkein. They turn to balls of light and merge with day. They are symbols of power, luck, success and dynamism, being the attributes of the natural element of fire. Salamanders are also found in earthy form as dinosaurs, lizards, crocodiles and other dragon creatures on earth but it is the astral dragons or drakes that we know to be spirits of nature or faery.

    2. Pixie Fairies and Sylphs

    The faeries of air and popularly what we visualise with the word fairies, are seen as pixie like tiny winged creatures, who are also made of light and travel through wind. In films they are depicted in Faeries -A True Story as well as numerous characters similar to the popular Tinker Bell of Disney. They represent thoughts, mind, fun, changes and freedom. On earth we have butterflies, moths, fireflies, dragonflies etc but unlike physical beings the associated nature spirits are the light bodies called sylphs.

    Connect through: Incense, bells, feathers

    3. Mermaids, Sprites and Undines

    The water element has the astral energy of undines or faeries of water. Mermaids and selkies are their forms popular in folklore as well as movies such as Splash or Pirates of the Carribean. Sprites are connected with rivers and streams. On earth we see fishes, seals, octopuses and sea snakes but the astral or light bodies that resemble these are undines. The qualities of intuition, seduction, prophecy, poetry, musical arts are connected to them.

    Connect through: shells, mother of pearl or abalone, pearls

    4. Gnomes, Brownies, Leprechauns and Elfs

    The earth element of nature has little creatures that have human like features. On earth we see insects and animals with human like faces to connect with faery world. Gnomes in mythology and folklore dwell in forests, gardens, trees and shrubs and look just like little people such as depicted in Gnomeo and Juliet who are hard-working and clever. Elfs and brownies are also linked with the earth element and represent hard work. Leprechauns are said to disguise themselves as shoesmiths and to protect wealth. Brownies in particular are the house elfs who are said to help witches in the kitchen in exchange of cookies and cakes such as seen in movies like The Spiderwock Chronicles and Harry Potter. Practicality, earthy wisdom, common sense and work are their attributes.

    Connect through: gems, crystals, trees and plants

    5. Angels and High Elves

    Angels are the more popular of faeries off late as they resemble human world the most and are helpful to us in day to day life. Legend speaks also of High Elves such as seen in Tolkeins worlds. Great shining people of light and human features who guard earth, heal as well as connect us with higher wisdom. They can be the seelie court or helpful angelic beings or the unseelie court of those elves whom humans have angered through destruction of nature such as seen in Maleficient the movie.

    Connect through: prayers, ritual invocations, divination, talismans such as elvenstar

    6. Trolls

    These are mythic beings who are made of rocks or mountains with diamonds for teeth. They are seen in literature in some of Terry Pratchetts Discworld series of novels as well as in Tolkiens Hobbit.   It is said that when sunlight falls on them they turn to stone. Mountainsides and avalanches could be linked with them. They are not usually expected to be very kindly to humans and are best not angered or disturbed.

    7. Phoenix

    The legendary bird who burns in fire and then rises through its own ashes is popular in Celtic as well as Oriental lore specially Feng Shui. It helps us in qualities of renewal, regeneration, healing and transformation. It resembles the bright roosters of morning but its the light body being which is the astral counterpart that we call the phoenix.

    Protection from unseelie faeries, demonic or unwanted entities:

    Iron, horseshoe, pentagram, amulets and protection talismans such as Solomon’s circle, Celtic cross, Black banishing candles, drawing a magic circle in ritual are some ways of protecting from unwanted astral entities.

    Protection is a must when working with elementals and faery beings to keep unwanted out. Never invoke negative or harmful entities as even if you call them to harm an enemy, ultimately you will be harmed multiple times as they are negative by nature. Keep your aura and space clean, tidy, blessed and positive to attract only good faeries or good folk and keep evil at bay. Think only positive thoughts and meditate with clear mind. Invite only good folk or good faeries to ritual only after proper formal initiation and do not dabble in occult without proper long term guidance from the right spiritual tradition or teacher.
