Type of Fae: Water Fae: Mermaids

Mermaids and Mermen are known to have the upper body of a human and the lower body of a fish, much like a dolphin. They can be found under the sea, in lakes, ponds, or rivers (sometimes). Any body of water really.

While not much is known about Mermen, Mermaids are a lot more….friendly….

Mermaids are known to lure sailors to there deaths with there beautiful, melodic voices; while other stories say they drag men down to underwater kingdoms, frogetting they can not breathe underwater. That’s why so many people are scared of them. But, although everyone has there own opinions, i dont think there is anything to be scared of.

The Merfolk, usually spend most time underwater, thats why there are very few sightings. But there is one video right here:

In this video, the man explains exactly what happened. And how he explains it, is very accurately correct. I dont exactly remember, if it was a comment, or he said it in the video, but in the video the tails of the mermaids are nothing i have ever seen. They aren’t tails that humans have artificially made over the years, the tails are to thin for human legs to fit in there. And the body structures are to thin, and wide.

It is proof, and i believe this man caught mermaids on camera.

So, merfolk usually spend time in the water, but in the most secluded areas of rocky shores or islands, they can be found on the rocks tanning. They can also be found by waterfalls, in the deepest parts of the jungles. Places no one really dares to go.

I hoped you liked this entry! I will have more on the different types of water fae all this summer!!! :D

Faerie Ring

Faerie ring, or faerie circle, is something that many people do not know about, and may see throughout there day and not even know what there looking at.
A faerie ring is usally a circle of mushrooms, in a meadow, or in a forest, honestly anywhere with a healthy eco-system.

These circles have been told in stories where faeries, or other magick beings, such as elves, dance around them all night under the moonlight. They say that faerie rings can also open passage ways to another “dimension.” Such as faerie kingdoms, or the otherworld.

I believe in the fae, i believe i am one, but this is why i warn you severly. For centuries it has always been said that when you step into a faerie ring, there is a chance you will be sent to another world. But when people see a ring of mushrooms (and if they have heard of the stories) they dont take it seriously, and there is one thing many people do not know. If you do get sent to another world, there is a good chance you are never coming back.

If you want more information, here is a link:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairy_ring

Yes, again, its wikipedia, but i searched and there weren’t any other websites i could find that offered a good amount of correct information.

"If you see a faery ring
In a field of grass,
Very lightly step around,
Tiptoe as you pass;
Last night faeries frolicked there,
                      And they're sleeping somewhere near."               

                          ~William Shakespeare

Type of Fae: Irish Fae: Leprechauns

Here is another type of fae, a irish faerie. This irish faerie, is of course probably the most well known, a Leprechaun! The name Leprechaun comes from the irish name leath bhrogan meaning shoemaker.

Leprechaun’s are seen by humans once and a while, and are usually described to be dressed in nice, presentable old-fashioned clothes (usually the color green), a red cap, a apron, and shoes. They usually like to aid humans in small labor, and make shoes for elves, but only one shoe. Never a pair.

One thing you dont want to do is mistake Leprechauns for Cluricauns. Cluricauns, while part of the Leprechaun family, are tricksters. They like to steal, and cause chaos. As well as raiding wine cellars, and riding sheeps in the night.

One popular belief is that Leprechauns hold a treasure or “pot of gold” and if you catch one you get to have the treasure, but this task is very difficult to complete.

Here is a link were you can read everything on Leprechauns and more Irish Fae, i will be posting more about them soon:

I thought this would be cool since its March, and of course St. Patricks Day :)  Hope you like this blog post!!!

How To Attract Pixies

Pixies are a very kind, and caring. But don’t be fooled, they can be very sneaky, and mischevous when they want to be. But that just makes it all the more fun (i have a weird mind, but i dont care).
If you’d like to attract pixies to your house, or your garden then here are some tips:
If you want to attract them to your garden (i recomend you attract them to your garden rather than your house):

• Plant lots of flowers
• Set out fresh buiscuts with honey, warm milk (leave the milk in a little cup please), or fresh baked sugar cookies :3 (Yummy!)
• You can also go sit outside some place you feel comfy (bring a blanket if you want) and just draw, paint, sing a song, play an instrument, sing a song while you draw. Anything artsy-like. ^_^

If you want to attract them to your house:

• You can set little flower baskets on your window sills (this would be good if your a teen and your parents dont except your beliefs or you think they probably wont. And remember to keep the flowers healthy!)
• You can probably set the biscuts, or cookies (whichever you chose to give) on a little cloth or napkin and place it in the basket
• I’d also say that you should keep your room clean, and your house as well

So this is some pretty basic information on how to attract pixies. Another thing you might want to do is make a faery house. These houses are usually like a bit bigger than a normal sized bird house (but you can make it however big you want).

And they should probably be placed outside in gardens, were it’s surrounded by nature. (NOTE: faery house’s would be best if they are made out of actual things from nature or little knik knaks) I mean i made my bed out of one of my families old Zune (im an iPod lover, case was my sis’s) cases, and i made the pillow, blanket, and stuffing by myself. And its so cute!

And please dont get discouraged if you dont see them a few days after you start leaving little offerings, because pixies judge to see if you can be trusted. Sometimes it takes months, but you’ll start to see things dont worry.

One last thing i have to warn you about are mushroom circles, or “faerie circles”. These are great, it means the faeries probably really like your garden and have opened a path to the otherworld there. But even though it’s tempting to see were that path will lead you, there is a good chance you will never make it back to the human world.
