Plant & Faery Folklore



Bluebells summon faeries to their midnight revels & dances by this flower's ring.

Fern-The Pixies of Cornwall are especially fond of ferns.

Foxglove-Also known as "Fairy Caps," "Fairy Petticoats," & "Fairy Thimbles." Faeries used to give the blossoms to foxes to wear as gloves so they would not be caught raiding chicken coops.
- Picking Foxglove offends faeries.

- Hawthorne, holly, briar, St. John's Wort are all sacred to faeries.

- Faeries love thyme.

They also like mushrooms, dwarf mallow, thistle, fruit of the dogwood.

Offerings to the fae can include ground ginger, barley, candies, & anything that glitters. Make offerings in a small basket in your garden, replacing the gifts often.
