The Fairy Ring
Oh, have you seen the fairies dance
Upon a Summer’s night?
And watched the gnomes and pixies prance
Whenever the moon is bright?
‘Tis splendid fun to see them run
As soon as it grows light.
One evening sister May and I
Went out soon after ten;
The moon hung like a ball on high
Above the fairy glen,
And round and round upon the ground
Danced fays and elfin men.
And there, at dawn, they leave behind
A ring of toadstools wee
(Where they have danced you’ll always find
This mark for folks to see),
Then off they fly into the sky
Just as the clock strikes three.

Mischievous and playful faeries are also powerful and protective.
Most often we think of faeries being no bigger than the palm of our hand. There are indeed many different traditions that depict them as every size from average human to dwarf to a typical tree sprite. Some with wings, some without.
Faeries often took human lovers and abducted them to the land of the Fae or sometimes a child, leaving a changeling in their place (they are skilled shape-shifters!).
The Fae is a light and fragrant tisane of peppermint, lavender, lemon peel, red clover, lemon balm, and rose hips.
Brew and enjoy for rituals summoning the Fae or leave as an offering for them.
