Midsummer Fairy Shrine
North: flowers
South: red candies
East: milk or honey-sweetened tea
West: wind chimes or streamers
Streamers, bells, ribbons, and whatever else you can think of: deity representations; milk or sweetened honey cakes.
The main part of this ritual involves creating a fairy altar or shrine. Find a special spot, preferably outside, to create a space just for the fairy folk. Hang small bells and tie streamers on low branches, drape more ribbons and streamers from the altar itself, and add some special dishes for offerings of milk, honey and cakes. You and your children could also write wishes on paper steamers and add those to the altar. This is a time for playfulness. Wear your wreaths from May Day. Add bells. Dance around. Honor the Fey with your fun and play. When finished, sit around the altar with your children enjoying the cakes and milk. Share a fairy story or two. Perform a circle closing and it is done.
