Faerie Magick Tips
Faerie Fire: A green light or energy that glows but does not burn, often seen in enchanted places at night during summer. When raising energy, focus on Faerie Fire and you will find the energy tingles and crackles more than usual.
Mists and Shadows: The veiled space between the physical realm and the world of Faerie. It's possible to enter this realm in a physical state, and often you will 'lose time' in this space. Shape-shifting is easier here, and when we subconsciously slide into this realm we often catch glimpses of the Faerie Folk.
Green Man: The masculine aspect of the Forest, often seen in entwined ivy, the bark on trees, or in the twisted limbs of a bush.
Crystal Grove: This is what I call the magickal space of the Faerie. I visualize this space as a grotto with lush vegetation, sparkling lights from the phosphorescence that floats in on the tides, huge dark trees with moss hanging down and over-looking it all, a Full Moon. The energy of this space can be re-created through the use of candles, crystals, finding a lovely spot in the woods or by a stream (I found two such places---one on Big Island of Hawaii and one in Washington State. I know there must be more).
Wild Place: A spot in nature that has wild, untamed energies. Unkempt lots where the brambles and briars have overtaken the land tend to be where Faeries congregate. I was pixie led in one such area. I had been through it dozens of times in the daylight, and knew the path blindfolded but one night got lost and ended up in the middle of a patch of scotchbroom three times---each time returning to the beginning of the path and starting over again. I finally took the long way home. The next day I checked---nothing out of the ordinary, the trail hadn't been altered in any way by human hands. After that I avoided it at night because the energy wasn't very welcoming.
Deva: A plant, land, or faerie "oversoul" who has more knowledge and insight than the others---kind of like an elder. One who has guardianship over a territory or group of plants or faeries.
* Tips
* Faeries don't like iron.
* Faeries aren't all light and fluffy. There are numerous instances in both history, legend and experience that show Faeries as chaotic. They can be mischievous or downright nasty if they feel like it.
* Certain gems or stones seem to attract Faerie energy more than others. This may differ based on your own interaction with the stone. Experiment.
* Certain scents and flowers seem to attract Faeries more than others, but this could be based on which Faeries are near you. Violets, thyme, lemongrass and ylang-ylang are traditionally strong Faerie scents.
* If you work with Faerie Magick long enough, expect to occasionally find jewelry and other small objects missing. I stand in the middle of the room and yell, "Give me back my ring (keys, or whatever seems to be missing)!" The object in question usually shows up again in a couple of days, though a few years ago, one of my favorite rings disappeared for good
Stones & Metals
As stated earlier, the wee ones despise iron and, in fact, it is said that particular metal can harm or even kill the fae. If you decide to try your hand at any type of faerie magic, make certain that all of your tools are made of copper, silver or woods that are sacred to faerie. Oak is probably the best to use. If gem stones are to be used, the most appropriate are faerie stones (staurorite), quartz crystal, rose quartz, moonstone, celestite (blue quartz), selenite, amethyst, labradorite, and amber. To guard against mischievous spirits, it is best to use flint.

If the fae ones wish to remain hidden from view, there is little human kind can do. Remember, when seeking the fae and all nature spirits, you should never wear iron. They despise it! And never whistle in the woods. It disrupts the natural aura of the place.
Probably the most well known place to find the Fee Ones is within a natural mushroom ring at sunset or full moonlight. Caution should be taken not to be caught unawares by the fae, especially during the full moon. That way lays madness.
It is said that a person can simply look through a stone with an opening, or a hole. This can be a natural hole or a self-bored stone. Naturally holely stones can be found near running water or by the sea.

Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries had its humble beginnings as an idea of a few artisans and craftsmen who enjoy performing with live steel fighting. As well as a patchwork quilt tent canvas. Most had prior military experience hence the name.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries.
Vendertainers that brought many things to a show and are know for helping out where ever they can.
As well as being a place where the older hand made items could be found made by them and enjoyed by all.
We expanded over the years to become well known at what we do. Now we represent over 100 artisans and craftsman that are well known in their venues and some just starting out. Some of their works have been premiered in TV, stage and movies on a regular basis.
Specializing in Medieval, Goth , Stage Film, BDFSM and Practitioner.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries a Dept of, Ask For IT was started by artists and former military veterans, and sword fighters, representing over 100 artisans, one who made his living traveling from fair to festival vending medieval wares. The majority of his customers are re-enactors, SCAdians and the like, looking to build their kit with period clothing, feast gear, adornments, etc.
Likewise, it is typical for these history-lovers to peruse the tent (aka mobile store front) and, upon finding something that pleases the eye, ask "Is this period?"
A deceitful query!! This is not a yes or no question. One must have a damn good understanding of European history (at least) from the fall of Rome to the mid-1600's to properly answer. Taking into account, also, the culture in which the querent is dressed is vitally important. You see, though it may be well within medieval period, it would be strange to see a Viking wearing a Caftan...or is it?
After a festival's time of answering weighty questions such as these, I'd sleep like a log! Only a mad man could possibly remember the place and time for each piece of kitchen ware, weaponry, cloth, and chain within a span of 1,000 years!! Surely there must be an easier way, a place where he could post all this knowledge...
Traveling Within The World is meant to be such a place. A place for all of these artists to keep in touch and directly interact with their fellow geeks and re-enactment hobbyists, their clientele.
