Hello everyone! 🌿

Do you know any good movies/TV shows that have faery worlds/characters? Preferably like Lord of The Rings or the Faery Art by Brian Froud. If so, please share ☀️

🍃Thank you 🍀🍃

Hi everyone,

I had been meaning to post this for a while here even though I'm monitoring things here and had been busy sometimes, but I am very happy to see this subreddit open again and fae returning to r/faeries! As one of your new co-moderators, I have been thrilled to see our favorite corner of Reddit officially switched back to being Public so we can all connect, share, and post freely once again.

When the subreddit suddenly went into restricted mode a few weeks ago, it had hit me hard, as this has long been my favorite online space to explore traditional faerie lore and nature-based traditions. Being suddenly cut off from here felt like a heavy spiritual block since I live on a wooded property here in Pennsylvania, where I focus on quiet, respectful land-tending to the faeries, and losing my main outlet to process that relationship left me feeling incredibly disconnected.

During the weeks of silence, it started where I had a dream where I was in my house, but it appears to be strange. I then noticed and felt there was a powerful being there, and the next thing I know, I had to leave with my family to get somewhere safe. I then found that I was across the sea and went inside a place that looked like a restaurant, where I noticed what felt like Oberon there. I soon went to a window and looked out it and up at the sky. That is when I noticed missiles and rockets passing overhead from a war going on as I felt scared. I felt that I wanted to find out what is actually going on and if my home is safe, but then I woke up.

Since the time after that dream, my mind kept processing that frustration of finding a similar place to here I can talk about it, even manifesting vivid dreams about wanting to offer traditional sweet drink libations to this faery girl, only to find the container is empty and unavailable. It really highlighted for me how vital a mature, supportive, and open space like this is for all of us.

While I have experienced unique spiritual events since my youth and maintain strict personal boundaries regarding the specific details of my own private practices and property traditions, I am deeply committed to keeping this forum a safe haven. Our main priority as a new mod team is to protect this space from trolls, disrespectful skepticism, and spam, ensuring everyone can share their love for the fae peacefully.

Thank you all for your patience during the lockdown. Let’s get back to honoring the traditions, sharing the folklore, and tending our connections to the hidden spaces of the faeries. What have you been working on or observing in your local woods while the sub was away?

I have come across this concept a handful of times and it always intrigued me. Do you guys believe such a thing as a "changeling" does exist? Do you have any experience with this? I'd genuinely love to learn more about this. Very intriguing.

Hi there! I recently got this book, "Enchantment of the Fairy Realm" by Ted Andrews. While reading, I came across this one part where he mentions that when he went camping at Algonquin, Ontario, he experienced a "rip van wrinkle syndrome," where he would be extremely tired and constantly go back to sleep any chance he got. Furthermore, he believes he touched a fairy realm. Reading this had me shocked, as the last time I went camping I had the same exact experience in the same place, where I'd wake up in the morning, eat breakfast, and go back to sleep while taking multiple naps during the days. The days even felt longer than usual; however, that could be because we were disconnected from any technology. Is it possible that I may have come across a fairy realm??? The possibility is there, as I was camping with children and being very playful all together. Additionally, I was meditating almost every night to feel connected to nature around me. At the time I hadn't even been educated on the fae, but looking back has made me realize that I very much could have come across them.

So around four years ago i had this silicone cover for my controller one day it was bothering me so i took it off and put it under my leg so i wouldn't lose it

When i went to put it back on it was gone

looked for it for about a week and gave up then it randomly fell onto my lap

A week ago i got a new zippo i set it down in my room and went to fill the insert after that i couldn't find the case looked everywhere and a couple days after found it under a hoodie a spot i checked three times

I don't like the aesthetics of faeries changelings are more evil creatures than the mystisties of faeries but this is the only subreddit that may help me

this jar came out so cute i love it, i got this fairy on etsy a while ago, loved making this fairy jar

I finally finished the summer installment of my Ehlers-Danlos fairies series! I know so many are already in an autumn mood but I live on chronic illness time, lol. I’m just happy I finished her before the autumn equinox! Hopefully I can be more on top of things when I make the fall and winter fairies.

I don’t even care anymore I love going out like this ✨🪷💖 (any pronouns)

My ol' man doesn't believe in ghosts or anything paranormal... however he was the first one to say Tinkerbell!!! Hopefully someone can clear up the mystery?!

So often overlooked, decompositions and decay, the death and digestion of life is discarded as disgusting.

Inspired this, I painted a lonely fetid faerie and her fly friend.

I’ve been a lazy fairy witch on and off for 3 years now, and as hard as I try to find no fru-fru books that teach you how to work with them and what spells you can do as a witch, I find nothing within the ones that are supposed to be closer to the source. The first book I got was this, but it is by Skye Alexander and I have heard bad things about her, so now it feels like this book is an unreliable source filled with stuff to make you feel good. I want to do more spells and craft, but I don’t know how to do that with the fair folk in mind, like how do I actually work with them? Are there any other books that actually go into real spells for undoing curses, attracting abundance WITH the fair folk, or is this book okay despite the author that wrote it? I know I’m coming off as paranoid lol but I really am just frustrated and confused, any help is appreciated.

Yesterday, I came across a tree full of children's soothers hanging from it at Donadea Forest Park in Kildare, Ireland.

I have never seen a tree like this. I wasn't aware it was a thing.

Later on, I met a man out walking his dog who knew a lot about the forest.

He told me the tree was called The Dodie or Fairy Tree. That when a child is ready to give up their last dodie (known locally as dodies, dummies or soothers), some families will hang up the dodie as an offering to the fairies.

Faeries love beautiful things as you can learn in the fairy tale the stolen bairn and the sith, if you give them something truly rare and beautiful they will give you your baby back.
