About fairies (Art: by Brian Froud)

fairies are metaphysical and symbolic beings.

In Animism it is believed that any natural element has life, soul and consciousness of its own.

It could be said that one of them are the fairies that are energy found in any natural element and that can also be manifested through it, they do not have a specific physical form but they can take a certain physical form

more specifically that of humanoid since generally this is how we usually associate them in that way by representations in art and folk tales and take the form of what we are famerialized with, which in this case is how we see them or (persist).

Are they good or bad? many believe that there are fairies or Faery beings who are: good and others who are bad.

others: that in reality they are neither good nor bad, rather they have no reasoning that it is good or bad, or rather that they do not know how to differentiate between what is good and what is bad

just like nature which is where they come from.

for some others: they tend to be temperamental so they should be treated with respect and not offend if they are so, they will play practical jokes on you and can "steal" and hide your things or even "reverse" "luck".

the Faerie world and the world of the dead: Fairies are seriously believed to be the spirits of the dead, fairies were dead people, perhaps sometimes dating back to pre-Christian times, and that the land of fairies was a transcendent land of the dead, which, in special circumstances , it could be penetrated by the living.

An ingrained tradition is that fairies are the dead pagans (or perhaps post-Purgatory Christians not good enough for heaven but too good for hell), living in a world of limbo, occasionally coinciding with our own. A story that captures this idea well was compiled by folklorist William Bottrell in Cornwall in the early 1870s.

the fairies taboo :The taboo of fairies are restrictions or prohibitions that are set by fairies and that if they are broken have consequences and These consequences are almost always (although not exclusively) harmful for the human protagonists of the stories.

How to protect yourself from fairies that only want to do harm?putting iron horseshoes since they are believed to protect and ward off evil and it is also believed that it burns and drives away fairies. I want to make it clear that all the information not only refers only to fairies, it also refers to all beings related to fairies such as: elves, nogmos, etc, etc, etc.

Mix this substance well and over it say: "Demons and spirits of hell, Charge this with your venomous spit. Fill it with the negativity of your realm, Make him suffer slowly, no, not too quick. Take my hatred from whence it spawned, Bad luck is his from dusk to dawn. SO MOTE IT BE.'' Go to the garden and dig a hole, place the piece of clothing in the hole and over it pour the liquid substance. Say: "From this day and hour (name of enemy)'s life will change.

Necromancy

1: When going to a cemetery, ask the Psychopomp or death deity of your choice for permission.

2:If you visit a graveyard and it has doors, you must knock on the door three times. as a form of respect and to tell the deceased that you have just arrived and that you want to pass.

3: After step 2. You can leave offerings at the same door you knocked on for the dead

4:Offerings: coins, coffee, The alcohol: Whiskey, Rum, Brandy,legumbre .

5:If you are going to collect graveyard dirt or dust. it is important that you know how that person died that is, if he died of natural causes, by engermerdo if he died calmly or violently. for this you could use some divination method, such as: the pendulum. and ask “Is the filth of this tomb suitable for my purpose?” If you get a positive answer, then ask “Is (the spirit of the tomb) willing to sell me some of its filth?” Again, if you get a positive answer ask "Is the spirit willing to accept my offering of (offering) in exchange for some of its dirt?" If you get a positive answer, then make the offering and collect the dirt. negative answer, either 1) move to another grave or 2) return to the same grave at another time.

6:If you don't have a pendulum handy then you can simply walk towards the center of the graveyard. Mentally contact the spirits around you, explain your situation and ask if there are any spirits that would be willing to help you complete your goal. So you can feel a psychic pull towards a certain grave. Once a grave is chosen, strike the headstone three times and place your palm on it mentally declaring your goal again asking the spirit if it will help you. If the spirit grants permission, then you can go pick up the dirt. Next, you will cut a small section of grass and then remove the dirt about 4-6 inches down. Never take more than you need. When you're done, place a silver penny in the hole, then replace the grass. Put your dirt in a container like a plastic bag or glass jar. Remember to label the container with the name of the deceased, as well as the dates of their birth and death. Upon returning home, you may want to put the dirt on a plate or other flat surface to dry if it's wet. Then, too, through a sieve or strainer to remove any rocks, roots, or plant matter.
