Colors of the Fairies

This is a reiki manual to initiate you into the energies ofcolors and the fairies. They prefer to be called other

words than fairies since that meant originally their

enchantments. Thus, fairy land means Enchanted Land.

They are properly, the fays.

Before you begin to work with the fairy energies you

should be able to relax and sense the outdoors, the

feel of a place. Why dont you try? Find a tree and sitdown nearby and breathe slowly and let your thoughts

just go quiet. Let your eyes fill with the shapes of leaves

and the rough textures of bark; your fingers brush the

prickling of grasses, and your ears hear the gentle

murmur of the wind.

Sense yourself. Rub your hands and sense the tingling of

your skin. Gently raise and lower your arms and notice

the suppleness that dances through your whole body. It

is this awareness that will sense the fay.

If you wish to close your eyes, you will hear sounds all

around. Now with your eyes still closed, imagine closing

them again, so your inner fairy sight opens all around.

Rainbows sparkle around the edges of your awareness.

This is color magic. And youre doing it beautifully.

Breathe in deliberately asking to take in natural energy,and let it breathe out again. Now I will ask you to

imagine it as a glowing light. To gather that light in your

mouth and gently blow it out. Thats right.

Now we will cup our hands and blow into them, and let

the light well up like a spring, and merrily bubble over.

There is always an abundance of Light available to us.

Okay, open your eyes. Your fairy sight is still working, you

just will be overwhelmed by normal vision. Allow your

inner senses to add to the scene. Notice how the tree

could be outlined with a glow. See where sparkles or

drops of light could be hanging in the leaves. Where

would they choose to be? Do they stay still, or slowly

float away like thistledown?

This is seeing with both ordinary and fairy sight and a

healer can use this. You can watch reiki running and

pooling around blocks, draw with it to make symbols in

the air, wash a room or patient clean with it.

Color Yellow

This is a cheerful color, andresonates with the sun and

health and laughter.

Fairies of this color include Joan

of the Wad who guides humans

across moors and wild places.

Her mischievous cousin is the Will

o Wisp who appears as aglowing ball that floats above the ground at night.

The Lios Alfar are the elves of light. They are friendly and

good. Frey and Freyja, the fertility Lord and Lady of the

Northern gods, watch over them. Elves live in open

woodlands and meadows, especially in small mounds.

At certain times of the year elves make processions

with horses and lanterns and ride to another home.Humans have heard the jingling of their silver bells, and

their merry singing. Elves can be as tall as humans and

can take lovers, and share hunts and feasts and

dances with us.

Other yellow or orange energy fays include the

kornbocke who is a goatish man who watches the

ripening wheat harvest, and hobs who like the hearth inyour home and help with the chores.

English marigold, or calendula, is a powerful fairy flower

for healing and protection and the Sight.

Color Blue

Three special flowers should bementioned here. Bluebells can

make you drowsy and fall under

fairy influence. Blue Vervain will

protect you. Blue forget-me-nots

help you find lost treasure.

Water fays include mermaids of

course, with their scaly fish bodiesfrom the waist down, and human tops. They are seen

by sailors and people looking for things on beaches.

Often good-looking, they may be a wee bit vain, but

can love deeply and passionately, and do care about

the life in the ocean.

Inland you will meet Guardians at wells. These ladies

are motherly and have healing and great power. Some

were the goddesses of olden times. People make

wishes at wells and tie wishing-ribbons on trees nearby.

Fays can bless water for curing, just ask.

A very important water fay is the Lady of the Lake in

the legends concerning King Arthur of Britain. She gave

him the magic sword Excalibur when she deemed himworthy, and fostered the knight Lancelot. She knows

how to part the misty gates to reach the secret island

of Avalon in fairy land which is located near the Tor of

Glastonbury in our world.

Color Red

Red is a special color for the Celts

who did not eat red foods such asapples without giving some to the

fays.

Red berries mark the magic of the

rowan tree which protects us, and

the holly tree which battles with the

summer oak for the company of the

goddess of the earth.

It is said that by watching the ruddy

glow of the setting sun on the ocean, you may see fairy

islands in its glittering path.

Fire fays include dragons who enjoy

sunlight and bonfires. They are wise

and may be helpful but are a littleproud. They may test your resolve.

They do like riddles.

The dirne-wiebl appears in forests in Bavaria. She wears

a serving-maids apron and hands out apples. These

bring prosperity. She wears a red hood. She may be the

origin of Little Red Riding Hood.

Salamanders are odd fairy creatures who resemble little

lizards and enjoy burning fire-places. They can help

with divination, treasure, and good health. Maybe they

will teach you to light candles by snapping your fingers.

Color Green

This is a gentle and earthy

color and resonates withgrowth and plants and

recovery.

Irish leprechauns are the most

famous green fays. If you see

one, he will be mending one

shoe. He will likely wear a

green jerkin and shoes withbuckles, and carries a small

hammer which tap-tap-taps.

He does have a secret pot of

gold but he loves tricks and

you wont be able to steal it. If you ask politely, he may

help you with your own prosperity and workmanship.

Ghillie Dhu is a forest man who guards trees from harm

and is wary of humans. Approach with a sincere wish to

help ecology and he may assist you.

The Green Man is found carved on churches and you

will recognize him by the leaves which form his face. He

is connected with forests, fertility and allowing hunters

good luck. His image is sometimes found atpantomimes and morris dances.

Trees have their own wisdom. You can relate to the

strong oaks, flowing willows, mighty beeches, humble

hawthorns.

Abandoned hill-forts called raths are said to be thehaunt of fairies. They are usually circled by bushes and

small trees.

A tale concerns two boys out plowing. One drew a

circle around a fairy thorn to mark its borders. When

they were done, a cloth with cheese and beer and

honey and bread appeared. The boy who ate it

became wise and prosperous. The other boy fled. It

seems that fairy food eaten outside of fairyland as a

reward, is safe.

Color Brown

Brown fairy magic relates to

autumn and harvest fairs, tostoring food for the winter and

to the earth itself.

Fallen colored leaves are the

best plants to use in this

magic. Brown mushrooms in

rings on the grass are said to

be the dance places of smallfays.

Yarthkins or gnomes as they

were dubbed, are little earth

fays who live under the roots of big trees and gather

nuts and roots and feed animals. They resemble

cheerful old men with pointed caps and long beards,

and wear earthen colors. They are very friendly tohumans, but are rather shy and may watch you without

saying anything. Hikers sometimes spot them.

At times the fays who actually work on farms bring their

animals and vegetables and crafted trinkets to secret

fairy markets. Humans can see these from a distance

away but all vanishes up close. There are fairy gypsy

caravans which wander from fair to fair and you maymeet them, at least in your dreams. (Read my Ethereal

Thief Reiki for an example of this.)

Giants are very tall and large fay folk who can quicklybecome boulders scattered on a hillside. They range

from friendly and gentle, to cranky and dangerous, but

they are worth knowing. They may be an ancient

memory of the Neanderthal humans who were bigger

than us, and stronger.

An important fay is the Irish god Daghda. He wears a

brown cloak, and a short tunic that flashes his buttocks,

is big and plump and boisterous and lusty, eats huge

meals of porridge and honey-cakes, and ale, chases

the ladies, and has a dangerous club which brings

death or life. His magic harp can sing you to sleep, to

joy, or to tears. He is a protective fay of the Tuatha De

Danaan, irish fairy folk who have retreated to the hills.

But where they are usually tall and pale and beautiful,

he is swarthy and short, and yet he is the all-knowing

Father, good at every skill, afraid of nothing, bound by

nothing.

Color Black

The fairy grim is a black dog who has glowing eyes and

is as big as a pony. It will follow you along deserted

roads and in church cemeteries. It may be warning you

to take care of yourself. Or to watch your back.

The dock alfar are the Dark elves. In our times they

would be called dwarves. They are clever in metal

work and crafting mighty tools. They are lusty and soare connected with fertility. Sunlight may turn them to

stone. They look short and sturdy and have long beards

and are about three to four feet tall. They like the

mountains and caves. Not giants.

The Leanan Sidhe may

be male or female

and is a seductive fay

who definitely adores

humans. She knows

the magic of love

potions and false

appearances, which is

called glamourie. She

can drink a lovers

strength away, so isnot to be trifled with.

Invisibility is another

power of the fays. It is

said they got it from the god of the sea, Manannan

Mac Lir. He taught them to shift their shapes into those

of beasts, as well.

If you wish to experiment with shape-changing, it is best

to do so in your imagination. With the Sight pull in some

glowing light and surround yourself with a blanket of

the stuff. Then shape it into some animal. Imagine

looking out its eyes, walking with its legs or flying with its

wings. You can still walk around normally, holding this

other-ness in part of your thoughts. Be sure to release

this shaped energy body afterwards into the grass.

If you wish to be invisible, just surround yourself with a

blanket of dark light that washes you out of vision and

then walk where you will. Drivers of cars wont notice

you so be wary of them.

Color White

White is a very sacredand powerful color in the

fairy world.

Fairy godmothers come

in white and bring

wisdom, power and

healing. They test us to

see if we are respectful.

The white doe leads

knights in the legends of

King Arthur. White dogs

assist the Wild Hunt and

chase evil souls across

the sky. White pigs come

from the fairy landshidden under the earth

in Wales. White rabbits

bring changes and good

luck.

White flowers would be elderblossom, hawthorn

blossom, meadowwort, and others.

The Welsh imagined their powerful Weaving Goddess

as Arianrhod, Lady of the Silver Wheel, or Spiral Castle

floating in the sky. And Stonehenge honors the moon.

Color Pink

This color relates to children

and the home, to innocenceand enthusiasm and family

joy.

Pink or violet flowers of magic

are the dog-rose, foxglove,

lavender, and thyme.

Berchte is a young maiden inspringtime, with long blond

hair and a hawthorn in her

hand. She is a mother of the

barley and wheatfields in

summer and protects the house. In winter she has an

old face with a big nose and white hair, and brings gifts

at Yule. She was known all over the German lands.

Befana is her equivalent in Italy. They both love childrenand protect them.

This odd aspect of maiden mother crone is found in

many cultures. She usually has a handsome male

companion who dies and is reborn. The earth goddess

in Britain was a lover of the oak in summer and the holly

in winter, and Christmas pantomimes told this story.

Fays like this also represent the right to rule the land

and marry ceremonially at least the new king, if he

seems worthy.

How to heal with this attunement

Just say aloud (name of system) once and let the energy flow

through your hands and heal as you usually do.

How to take down this attunement

Just say aloud I am now accepting the attunement to (name of

system) from (name of teacher) in a way that is good for my

health and spirit. So be it.

And relax for a few minutes. You may sense energy tingling in

your hands or warmth, or if you close your eyes and let your mind

drift away, you may see unusual pictures. It really doesnt matter.

It works even if nothing is sensed at all.

How to give this attunement

Just say aloud I now attune (name of student) to the energies of

(name of system) in a way that is good for both of us, in health

and spirit. So be it.

Or you can put the attunement in a chi ball of imagined energy

and let the student pull it down when convenient.

Best wishes and love and light,

Stewart
