Chronicle Five

Over the course of my journey, I have in mediocre ways sent out invitations to the nature spirits and fairies of the mountain region where I reside. In this chronicle I will discuss some of the events and I will later discuss further invites which were conducted. Special for my birthday in May, I gave my sweetheart a list of creative items I would like purchased. A few items listed included a dome garden kit the Fairy Triad by the company DuneCraft, the Smurfs season 1 DVD set, and a set of fairy fun books from the company Dover publications, all of which I received as gifts.With the Fairy Triad I not only learned the different types of plants that attract fairies, but also had lots of fun assembling the product and observing the growth development. By using the Triad you can create your own miniature indoor fairy habitat. The seeds included in kit were each specific for fairy contact. These include Lobelia to attract fairies, Thyme to enable you to see them, Evening Star to make fairy brews, and Clover for various reasons such as being a favorite of the leprechauns. The kit also includes terrarium dome, decorative items (a fairy miniature, pinwheel, and fairy bells), planting mixture, plant stakes, rainbow gravel, drainage pellets, stickers for outside decorations and growing instructions. All you need to care and grow the plants are included. The Fairy Triad inspired me to create my own terrarium fairy habitat. These two habitats placed along side my other houseplants makes a charming display together. In chronicle two I will discuss the instructions to make your own terrarium fairy habitat. DuneCraft products also include a variety of learning products for children and those of you with the inner child alive to purchase. Additional personal favorites include Windowsill Greenhouses; Princess Garden, Dragon’s Lair, and a Dome Garden Kit Witches’ Woods.The Smurfs were one of the many fantasy related animated series from the 1980’s I grew up with and adored. This series inspired me to write my own stories as a child. An array of magical beings and creatures of the faerie realm were featured in the series. Just to mention a few wizards, witches, dragons, wood nymphs, pixies, gremlins, mermaids, and genies. The long running series contains 414 episodes and 8 animated specials. My favorite episode is “The Pussywillow Pixies”, in this story a pixie befriends a lost Smurf in Pussywillow Hollow, and with the help of the other Smurfs they rescue her friends from being captured by Wartmongers. Do you have a favorite animated feature film or series which depicts those of the faerie realm? If you do, rent or purchases a film or series and reconnect with your inner child.Creativity is an element that strongly connects individuals with the realm of faerie. It appears that one doesn’t have to be gifted at the craft of creating to invite contact. I love to sit down and paint, or color either along side my nephews or nieces or alone. A favorite activity of summer has been to sit under the tree at the picnic table with a fairy related coloring pad. A fairy fun kit can be purchased from Dover publications. This kit is assembled with coloring books, stickers, and paper dolls. I did purchase the Fairy Tale Fun Kit; however I enjoyed putting together my own kit by purchasing coordinating items separately. I will discuss in chronicle three the items that make up my kit and suggestions for your own kit.As an adult I am still (as you can easily observe) still a kid at heart. Although I do not have children of my own yet, I try to often include my nephews and nieces in my creative activities. Keeping the child in yourself alive appears to also keep you open to the possibility of contact with the realm. Going back and reviewing favorite fairy tale stories, and cartoons of fantasy from childhood, can not only inspire your creative side but can also send a welcome to the realm.
