How to See Fairies

As I mentioned yesterday, one of the most common questions I get asked in response to my fairy writings is "how to see fairies". Now, this is not a question with a straightforward answer, as there is much to explain about the nature of fairies and how they appear. But in this post I will begin to tell you how to see fairies in the garden, as this is an excellent place to start.

First of all, here are two articles that give an introduction to seeing and working with the Faerie Realm:

How to Attract Faeries into Your Home

Now, as to the fairies. They exist on the astral plane (the above articles explain this further) and consequently cannot generally be seen with the physical eye. They do, on occasion, make themselves appear to humans, but this is rare. It is more common for those who work with fairies to "see" them with the third eye, or mind's eye, through the power of clairvoyance. Have a read of this article to understand how this works:

How to Communicate with Spirits

One of the best ways to develop a link with the fairies is to sit quietly in your garden, or a secluded spot in nature, and meditate upon communicating with them. Sit by water or under an old tree. Don't force anything and have patience - it can take time to open up the mind to seeing, hearing or experiencing fairies.

The garden is a good place to do this because it means you can work on this regularly - every day if possible. Don't expect a fairy to appear right in front of you - their presence is much more subtle! You might receive an image in your mind of a fairy creature. If it doesn't look anything like you expected, that's a good sign - it means the image is flowing into your mind naturally, and is not being conjured up by your imagination! You might hear whispers or random words, or become aware of a sudden heat or cold. It is a good idea to write down your experiences in a journal so that you can refer back to previous encounters.

Of course, there is much more to explain about looking for fairies, but for now, if you want to learn more, I suggest taking a look at How to See Fairies in the Garden.
