Dedicated to Melodie

****

I am introducing a book.

It is Melodie’s book.

A book formulated by, to my mind, the most delicate, gentle woman on the planet.

The most humble (in every sense of the word) self sacrificing, and understanding (if not, forgiving) woman I have ever met, or could wish for.


She is the essence of humility, love, and light to me. If you knew her, you would; just know. People from all walks of life have asked me, “What does she see in you?”

I always answer…”I do not know, but I am eternally grateful that she does!”


If she believes in the fey, who am I to argue? After all, I cannot disprove.

So QED from her point of view, she has an awesome argument!

And, as mere man, I am not about to challenge her logic!

Melodie’s Secret Book 0f the Fey, Charms and Spells


But first a warning…

If you use this book for evil then evil will beget you

This book is not a book of magic or curses

It is not a book of satanic hate

It is a book of light and healing

Of spiritual awareness and love

It is a book of goodness and well being


But

In all things there are opposites

If you are seeking dark curses of hate

Or poisons of revenge

Then leave this book well alone

Remember, Love begets love.

Hate begets hate

And evil begets evil



Akasha: the Fifth element, the omnipresent spiritual power that permeates the universe. It is related to outer space, inner space, the manifested, and the life force. It is everything good; it is pure vibration in harmony with everything positive. It is the force you draw upon for protection, love and enlightenment.


Familiar: An animal that has a spiritual bond with a Witch; often is the family pet. Familiars can detect and channel spells, also sense types of auras around people who visit.

My ‘Familiar’ is a black cat.


A brief introduction…

I will start from the basic law of the universe, then after, my little book meanders, twists, turns with no logic but to enchant and surprise, to entertain as well as educate.


Vibrations to Empathy

Everything in this entire universe is connected to everything else in this entire universe, through the Law of Vibration. Just as the colours in a rainbow are connected in such a way that you are not able to tell where one colour stops and the other begins, so too are you unable to distinguish where one "thing" starts and another one stops. Everything in this universe is connected to everything else in this universe, just as the water that boils is connected to the steam into which it transmutes, and the steam is connected to the ether or air into which it changes.

You too are connected to everything in the universe. Whether you can see it with the naked eye or not is unimportant.

Everything is energy, everything vibrates

For you to gain a better awareness of what surrounds you, go back to the basic premise with which we started: namely, nothing stands still. There is, in truth, no such thing as inertia.


As you perceive a glass of water on a table perfectly still without a ripple on the surface of the water, it is vibrating.

It has to move to exist. In reality it is moving a thousand miles an hour as the Earth rotates on its axis, as the Earth is travelling at hundreds of thousands of miles an hour around the Sun, as the Sun is travelling at immeasurable speeds around the spiral arm of Orion around the Galaxy, as the Galaxy is travelling around the universe etc.. All is motion, all is vibration. Nothing is still; you just move and vibrate with it.


Imagine you are on an aeroplane high up in the sky looking at a glass of water in front of you. Is it still? Or, is it that you and it are moving at the same rate?

That is the basic, elementary, logic and principle of motion and vibration.

You, have however, the Co-Creative ability to cause vibratory changes to take place at your bidding in your life. The cause for our lack of ability to exercise this tremendous power of perception is nothing other than our own ignorance about the Law of Vibration.


Matter is commonly said to exist in four states (or phases): solid, liquid, gas and plasma. This statement however leads to the conclusion that there are other ‘states’ of being or existence that are ‘uncommon’.


Perceptions

Let me make a point for you; give you an idea of perception, of long lost senses. Smells, taste, colours as well as touch are all perceptions of vibrations at different levels. It is your body that senses them. Just as it senses touch, temperature and sound.

Just remember this: You cannot see the wind but it is there, you feel it You cannot see the smell of apple pie, even when it is piping hot, put in front of you, But you smell it. Your body and its senses perceive.

You cannot see color, if your eyes are shut, or hear music, if your ears are blocked. It is just the same with any vibration. If you are not attuned, you will never perceive anything but from your basic senses.

YOU can train yourself to use your dormant senses, be attuned, and perceive what others cannot. You can awaken these senses that were always with you, you have just forgotten how to open your eyes, so to speak.

Sensations like; Ringing or buzzing in the ears electrical pulses through the dizziness, Déjà Vu etc.

These are all lost tools of perception which you have long forgotten how to utilize. They are perceptions that are trying to tell you something.

The mind in itself and in its own place can make a hell out of heaven or a heaven out of hell.”- John Milton

The mind can make you blind or make you see, your spirit gives you the choice.”-Melodie.

People, as a rule, can be classified as positive personalities (optimists) or negative personalities (pessimists).

Those individuals who are positive in their thoughts always tend to look upon the brighter side of life. With their faces turned toward the sunshine, they attempt to see the good, even in the bad. Such individuals habitually think thoughts of a positive nature and they are a blessing to the world. They are in a "Positive Vibration," and therefore attract other positive personalities to them.

Negative personalities, on the other hand, habitually look upon the dark, gloomy, and depressing side of life. Even the good holds some bad for them. They dwell on the bad and the negative. They think about it, anticipate it, expect it, and invariably they receive what they have been seeking. Due to the negative vibration which they keep themselves in, they of course attract other miserable personalities to them. As you are already aware, "misery loves company!"

It is, unfortunately, a very common sight to see people in bad or confused vibrations, busily attempting-through force-to achieve good results. However, due to the negative vibration which they are in, they are continually being bombarded by all manner of negative people and situations, which by law, are being attracted to them. Consequently, at some point, their battle must become overwhelming for them.

Positive and Negative Personalities

Their state of mind can be compared to the person, who, upon being asked how he felt, said,

"I feel alright today, but I might feel bad tomorrow."

The Law of Vibration accounts for the difference between mind and matter; between the physical and the Meta physical.

According to the Law of Vibration, Every physical thing throws off a vibration. Everything which you see, hear, smell, taste, or touch, throws off a vibration because these things, like everything else, are in a constant state of motion. Whenever you get near enough to them to enter into their "sphere of vibration," you will be affected by that vibration, whether you realize it or not. Have you ever noticed, for example, how peaceful you feel (vibrate) while walking alone in the woods?

The entire universe is made up of vibrations when you have the insight to see, the nature of the universe is revealed to you.

Light is vibration. The entire electromagnetic wave spectrum of visible light produces different colors. Colors are simply waves vibrating at different frequencies. . On one end of the spectrum you have red; on the other end you have violet. Red has the longest wavelength and the lowest frequency, violet has the shortest wavelength and the highest frequency.

The vibration of our “bodies” at every level, physical and non-physical, has a profound influence on our ability to attract positive experiences and to perceive.

The higher your vibration, the more of a “magnet” you become as a result of the thoughts you hold in your mind. By holding only thoughts of the “things” you wish to manifest into your experience, and keeping your vibrations high, you will find your perception will manifest much more quickly.

When you learn to see everything as vibration different in terms of rate and stability, you will perceive a higher ability to ‘See’ and understand You will perceive that there are a lot more aspects to your physical and meta physical surrounding than you have ever realized.

Once you are aware of this principle and always think in terms of vibration, you will understand practically everything that happens in the physical world. This is one of the governing dynamics that allows you to make sense of everything.

If you can see with a child's eye there is a world full of colour, joy and wonder to be seen!


Some signs that you have tread near: Sudden cold, unexplained trembling of leaves when there is no wind, a strange smell that comes and goes, a voice half heard but doubted.


So, in all this, what is a spell exactly?

Essentially a spell is energy that is created and channelled by yourself. It can be used in both rituals, words and even just by thought itself.

They used to be used in the past for many things such as ensuring a good harvest, for fertility and other basic needs of early civilisation.

You can build up power in your spells by projecting your will, faith and feelings and even your visualizations to increase and enhance the power of the outcome that you intend.

You can increase the power even further by the use of various tools such as incense, candles or even crystals and the correct appliance of herbs used in accordance to their magical properties.

The key thing to understand is that you are at one with the universe and that all things are connected, by manipulating the energy that bind the fabric of time and space together you can cause effects and ripples in the waves of reality.

Welcome to the realm of the fey

As I walked down the forest path,

A path I’d never seen before,

I heard a song so soft and sweet,

A song I’d never heard before.

I found a dream within a dream,

A dream I’d never had before

Of smiling faces, brightly lit,

Of friends I’d never known before.

So I walked so gently, and kept kind heart,

And knew that those who’ve come before,

Were waiting with a hearth well lit,

For me to wander to their door.


The Otherworld

Welcome to where the fairies play.

Where you can visit night or day.

Heed caution, as you lurk around,

For fairies casting spells may be found.

So enter my world of enchanted dreams,

Find life is more, much more than it seems.

-Melodie’s chant.


The fairy realm reminds us to keep this joy and creativity alive. Each cave and hollow tree has a doorway to another world.  Every flower, leaf and blade of grass has a story to tell.  Streams sing and the winds whisper ancient secrets into the ears of those who will listen.


The best places to find fairies are in the 'tween places' like forks in the road, where streams divide or border hedges; the best time to find them is in the 'tween times’ like dusk or dawn.


Until you are in tuned to the fairy realm you may not see their approach, however, an unexplained ripple in  water or a sudden chill may indicate their presence and their wish for you to join them.


They range in size from the very, very tiny flower fairies often smaller than a firefly to the great stone divas and the fairies that guide the wind.

They have vast storehouses of knowledge and wealth that they will bestow on us.  All of the gifts and help they give have been touched with magic.  They will bring us romance and true love, open doorways to success, and reveal to us all the great treasures of the earth.  Above all else they work to alleviate our pain and suffering, serving as our guardians and helping us grow.


Fresh flowers and laughter are the best ways of attracting fairies to you for as we know just as each flower has its own fairy each tear that is shed from laughter creates a new fairy.


Sightings

The best times; dawn, dusk, midnight, autumn and spring.

Fairies are said to live in places that are not really anything. Shadow lands - the banks of rivers, a bend in the road, an island off shore, can be a fairy abode.


Fairies are mysterious and elusive creatures that inhabit an invisible realm—a realm that exists alongside the merely physical world we live in, a place the ancient Celts called the “Otherworld.”


Theirs is a kingdom where it is always summer, where the orchards bear fruit and flowers at the same time, and where death and old age are unknown. For the lucky few, these creatures are occasionally seen in the blink of an eye or on the edge of a dream, and their haunting voices heard on the wind through the lonely valleys and forests – for those who have ears to hear it.


As elusive as they are, there have been tales of humans who have spent extended time with fairies—by walking inadvertently into the mist between two stones or by stepping accidentally into a fairy ring—and who have been taught by them to heal, make potions, and use spells.


Sadly, as we humans have moved away from our close connection to the earth, we have also lost our link with the “wild folk.” The stories of them that persisted lost their awe-inspiring quality.


The fey are potent and awe-inspiring beings of earth, air, fire and water, of plant, stream, rock and place.


Honouring Fairies

Make fairy offerings; milk, cream, honey and mead are favourites. Meditate with them, or light a candle on your fairy altar and thank them for their blessings. Acknowledge them when you see signs of their magic.


Witches and wise women have long had an association with fairies, from the ancient Celts to the modern Wiccan.


Care must be taken when dealing with the Otherworld, but fairies have much to teach humans about nature and the Spirit realms, and can provide valuable insights into healing and using herbs. A balanced exchange is required, so always remember to repay their kindness.


There are numerous ways you can encourage the Fey to visit. Convince them of your sincerity; show enthusiasm for healing the planet and fairies will be glad to work with you, blessing you with their wisdom, laughter, joy and fairy magic.


Fairy Communication

Always approach the Fey with the greatest respect. Fairies are generally wary of humans, and many are unhappy with them for polluting and neglecting the planet.


Sit quietly in nature, imagine a pure white light surrounding you, and ask your guardian angels to protect you. This will keep any malevolent fairies at bay.


Breathe deeply, becoming aware of the sensory pleasures around you; the sound of running water, the scent of wildflowers, the touch of bark against your back.


Close your eyes, and respectfully ask the fairies to come to you. Ask for their assistance in helping you work more closely with them. Ask what they would like you to do for them.

Let thoughts, words and images come to you. Do not force them.

When finished, thank the fairies and slowly come back to reality.

Write down what you saw, heard or felt. Shed your protection, and ground yourself with a drink or by standing barefoot on earth or grass.


Fairy paths

Fairy paths are reputed to run throughout the length and breadth of England. Known now as Ley-Lines. These are underground lines of force which are associated with magical, paranormal or unusual happenings.


The Fairy- always warn mortals not to build their dwellings over these paths of force as strange things and disturbances would begin to happen.


In some rural areas up into fairly recent times as late as the 1950’s and 1960’s people would consult a local dowser or wise woman to discover where it was safe to build their houses. There is even an instance of a house being torn down because one of its gable-ends was discovered to have been built over a fairy path.


Strange noises, were heard throughout the house and the sound of thousands of marching feet were heard in the downstairs bedroom on the north side of the house which was the side which covered the fairy path. When the house was re-located a few yards south of its original location all the disturbances stopped.


Fairy Rocks

Sometimes it was believed the fairies had enchanted certain rocks. One rock had been enchanted by the fairy queen Áine (or goddess as some believe) and any who sat on it would become insane, also people who were already insane were attracted to it and became even more so.


Also mysterious impressions were made on rocks these were blamed on fairy curses, one such was Clough macCuddy or Cuddy’s Rock in Scotland, believed to hold the impression of the knees of a monk who mysteriously travelled from his own century to the next century.

Just what are evil spells and curses?

First, let me reassure you that; even if someone is wishing you ill or sending you harmful magic or a curse, it can’t harm you if you protect yourself. Remember this critical thing about being “cursed”... It can only work if you let it in.

A curse is bad vibration, bad vibration that is contained, concentrated, and then aimed at someone. It does not have energy in the real sense of the word. It is more like a lie, a rumour, ill omen, negativity. Its energy, its life force (so to speak) comes from the victim, it feeds from them.

I’m not going to tell you they’re harmless, because they’re not. But you don’t need to be victimised by them, but you do need to understand that something must be done about them, you CAN protect yourself.

Turning on a light; automatically dispels any shadows, just as using a protection spell; dispels any evil. It is just a matter of finding the switch!
