clap if you believe in fairies
clap if you believe in fairies This weekend I host the fairy tea for the neighborhood. I have a very large tree in my yard with nooks and crannies, some big enough for apartment buildings if someone wants to be entrepreneurial. So far I have 17 little ones coming. They will arrive at 1:00, when cake and sweet tea will be served. I have assembled acorns, twigs stones, leaves, grass and they can pick anything from the rest of the yard or bring anything form their gardens at home….the only caveat is that it must be natural or found, not something they buy They are to dress as they would should they wish to meet a fairy. I have coming from my street, from two towns away, and from out of state who will arrive tomorrow with their Wiccan mom. This is our 5th annual fairy house build. My tree has never failed to shield us even in the rain. I send the mothers away…they tend to fuss and try to control the construction process. The see in their minds what they want their fairy home to be…..they are the architects and the builders. Once the tree has all the houses in her, the choose how to bless them. Sometimes they sing or dance, sometimes they just sit and honor their work. Little ones tend to sleep, older ones tend to survey. It is a peaceful contented time. Wee sandwiches and tiny tiny ice cream cones are served to begin the celebration. A riotous parade with banners made of shining mylar ensues as we march up and down the street with tambourines and kazoos and bells and whistles. My neighbors are used to this now and will stand and cheer on the as they pass. And, If it’s very hot…….we may even engage in a water balloon battle to protect our village. My next door neighbor Jim is the Ogre…….his roars are loud and terrifying. But we are nothing if not brave. Sighs…………life is filled with magic……..find it. You cannot conceive the many without the one. |

The munchkins will remember this and you forever. I bet their costumes are just as creative. What a wonderful way to wile away a summer afternoon! And with sweet tea! You and Charlie will be exhausted afterwards so save some sandwiches for after your nap and take lots of photos. P.S. Smudges of glitter makes great fairy dust. Never ignore those who care for you you will have lost diamonds while you were collecting stones

What a wonderful thing to do. And it sounds like such fun, too. Somehow, you should video tape it. It'd be so interesting to watch.

One of our neighbors, Mrs. Laun, used to let us kids roam all through her fairy woods. I used to throw feasts for fairies. How cool to have an adult participate! Love! Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale Her infinite variety. Other women cloy The appetites they feed, but she makes hungry Where most she satisfies. For vilest things Become themselves in her, that the holy priests Bless her when she is riggish. ~~ from Antony & Cleopatra

I walk my wee one around our yard to look for fairies. Every child should believe in magic. Every adult should remember they were once a child. As always, your beautiful soul feeds.
