Introducing  Mystic Rowen Fae, she'll be  talking to you about the Faerie Oracle Cards:  

BFFO cover page.jpg (76079 bytes) 

THE FAERIES ORACLE by Brian Froud. It is called a divination deck;  a way of communicating with and learning from the faeries. The deck consists of 65 cards and each one provides a message from the fae in response to a question you have asked or if you are trying to discover more about yourself, your life, and your relationships. A card may turn up reversed in a reading, which may indicate a  blockage or delay in the message to be received. A reading can be a simple one card spread or a series of cards. the book that comes with the deck explains all this.

click on image to enlarge

The first card I will review is card # 1 which is called UNITY. When this card appears, it signifies union, mystical experience and spiritual home. It indicates that we are all part of one whole, that we must aim to work together and help one another, and not try to do it all alone. This card reminds us that to obtain our wholeness we need to resolve inner conflicts. REVERSED means you have separated yourself from others, judging differences and inequality and prejudice. We are either not giving or not receiving. Forgiveness is key in moving toward others. Be the first to reach out-don't wait for others.  In unity there is trust, love and ecstasy.

VIOLET & CLAIRE

 By Francesca Lia Block

As a faerie in human form, I'm positive I wrote this book in a former life as Claire-a true faerie spirit whose imagination and enthusiasm are contagious. This is a young adult novel by and author i have reviewed before, and found she has a real understanding of the faerie spirit! It is a coming of age novel about 2 friends-one a dark brooding fae, the other a "tinker bell" who are considered misfits and find each other. Together they create a "whole being" that flies through the night. they are high school girls coming to terms with their identities. As they face the trials of life they realize that true friendship is the strongest bond. The faerie imagery is unbelievable, and being inside Claire's head was like reading my own mind!

About Earth Day

Earth Day began on April 22, 1970 and has been an important day ever since.  It's a day to reflect on our planet, our environment and what we can do to help keep them healthy.

From the beginning, children and schools were approached to support the formation and continuation of this special day.  And this makes sense!  Children have the most important stake in keeping our planet healthy.  They'll still be the caretakers long after their parents and grandparents have passed away.

Fairy Ring Gardens www.fairyringgardens.com  

Lisa Doll Fairy Ring Gardens grew out of my love for gardening and my belief that the little people are at work and play in my garden. I have been selling fairies locally for six years. Only recently have I begun to offer them from my website and through Ebay.

All of the fairies I create are one of a kind originals. I couldn't duplicate one exactly if I wanted to. It seems as though the fairies' own spirits emerge and take over as I am creating them!

The fairies are made from polymer clay. Many are embellished with Mother Nature's creations (dried flowers, acorns, stones, etc) or finds from second hand shops. Special orders are welcome!

I want to share some letters with you, names changed.

Hello Marafae,

This is a bit embarassing for me. My mom is dead, and my dad's a

truck driver and he hardly sees me. My oldest sister takes care of me. I'm 13

years old and I'm a faerie believer, I came across your site and begged my

sister for 10 bucks and she replied "We need every dollar we have for food

and bills" I got so angry at her. Now my only hope of practicing my belief is

in you. Please find me a sponsor and if you can't, then thank you for tryin!

Little Fae

[I will find her a sponsor, we have many kind members, maybe we can also help her family with clothes or other needs, I will find out and let you know]

Hello,

I started believing in faeries when I was very young (I'm 12), then I thought it was BALONEY! and now your people and your site and some other sites have shown me that I really do believe. I've been a true believer for about 6 months now, people at my school are calling me Pink Tink because I tends to draw creatures of the fey and got some other people into it too. My mom recently got laid off because her retail store is having some trouble, and they fired her because she was worth 19.50 an hour and got a new cheaper employee for 7.50, I came across your faerie believer organization abotu 3 months ago and my mom always told me "Of course" but now she cannot afford even lunch money for me and my sister. So can I have a sponsor, I live in the USA.

Thanks,

Faerie Girl

[ tears at your heart strings doesn't it!]

I live in a limited income and I am battling cancer.  Even the small amount you ask is more then i have to spend.  Please can you help, I don't get out much and looking at the pictures and reading the artilcles give   me much comfort. 

Sincerely, A faerie lover.
