Crones Corner - Fairy Charm Spell
Fairies are respected and feared in Gaelic culture, accepted as a fact of life by a
people acknowledging the mystic realm. Victorian visions of gossamer-winged lovelies are
actually a romanticized version of the Sidhe, a fairy spirit-race believed by the
Scotch/Irish to have powers to harm and confuse the vulnerable, and influence human fate.
According to one charming Irish custom, when a child spills a drink at a picnic or
outing, the adult refrains from scolding him or her, saying instead: “Leave it to the
fairies!�?Fairy lore asserts that fairies abhor a miserly spirit. To appease fairies in
your life, leave small gifts of food and drink in your garden, on your doorstep, or any
outside place you sense might be a fairy ring or fairy tree. ~Karri Ann Allrich
