Connecting With The Essences Of The Natural World
 
In the early morning or evening, when it is very quiet, go alone to a place where there are trees and flowers and bushes growing wild.
 
  • Take a notebook, a pen and coloured pencils
  • Examine the different plants in turn-thistles, trees, bushes, gorse, wild flowers, grasses and so on.
  • As you touch each, close your eyes and allow in your mind's vision an essence to take shape.  It may not be what you would expect- it may not even be a recognisable form, but a swirl, a series of brightly coloured lights, an old man or woman or a young child.  You may hear words in your mind.
  • Record each faery form immediately afterwards, not worrying about your artistic ability but capturing the mood and movement.  Some may evoke a few lines of poetry or a song.
  • If any essences feel unfriendly or unwelcoming, pass on quickly.
  • When you have finished, sit and allow the stillness of the place to suffuse your being, becoming in your mind the gentle breeze moving the grasses or the bird song, so that you are no longer separate, an observer, but feel like a faery would.
  • Afterwards, pick up any litter, scatter a few seeds or leave a little food for the birds as part of the cosmic exchange.
  • Later, look at each of your recollections and see if a name for the essence suggests itself.  If you have access to a A-Z guide of faeries or a computer search for illustrations of different types of faeries.  You may discover that your image, name and description are remarkably similar to that of a recognised faery form.
  • Place your notebook by your bed, reading it again before you fall asleep.  You may dream of your faeries.
  • Some people keep a special blank notebook for their faery work - many of the great faery illustrators began in such a way.
  • Whenever you go to a place of natural beauty or magnificence, try to spend time quietly connecting with it and recording the essences.
  • Tune into the auras in your garden or even those surrounding any greenery or flowers on your balcony.  The humblest office plant will have its own spirit-this will need special nurturing and frequent outings to your garden to restore natural energies that can grow weak as a result of electricity and noise.  Remember that the same is true of your won spirit, for humans are not really town creatures but are meant to roam free.
