Ritual To Gain the Favor of a Faery
Go into a field of flowers or into the woods where you can find a grove of trees. Take with you a small goblet and some wine, about 15 small stones, your faery bell and a crystal, a piece of white paper and a pencil. Make a circle with stones. Face each direction and bless the elements (Earth, Air, Fire and Water) using this chant:
I call unto thee Queen Saraelye
Elemental faeries bring to me
Faeries of the quarters protect me
For I humbly honor thee.
Next, ring your faery bell and pour some wine into your goblet and drink it, being sure to leave some drops for the Faery Queen. Next, write your request on the white paper and place it in your circle and set the crystal on top of it. Again, ring your faery bell and say:
I call upon thee to grant me thy virtue
By thy faery name, whose virtue be the same
I call ye so true, for I need you
Serve me well as I do you.
Next, pour the wine you left in the goblet, out onto the earth (the Faery Queen has already taken its essence). Refill the goblet with wine and drink in honor of the Faery Queen and to the bond you have just formed. Now take the paper with your request written on it and go and bury it beneath a tree. Come back to your circle and thank the elemental fairies for their aid and help then dismiss them. Gather up your stones and put them back in your pouch or whatever you carry them in one at at time and say:
In innocent purity, I shall see thee
Bound to thee, thou comest to me
My virtues to thee I have shown
Thus I may see thee in these stones.
Do not let anyone else use your faery stones as they are now sacred and a bond between you and the Faery. When you are not using them, keep them in a pouch or bag and in a safe place.
Ritual For Fnding Your Magickal Faery Name
Light a white taper candle and place on your altar or sacred space. Allow yourself to breathe deeply and relax. Concentrate on what having a magickal name means to you. Dont try to pick a name consciously, just let one come to you. Sit quietly in in your sacred space and focus on the candle. If you wish, put on some soft drumming or classical music for background rhythm. Now, ring your faery bell three times then chant these words:
I am faery and faery bound
A name for me will soon be found
And by this name the Lady knows
That I am hers, where ere she goes.
So magick name, now come to me
This is my will so mote it be!
Within a short period of time, sometimes just hours, a name will come to you that you may take for your magickal name. Sometimes the name may come as you are chanting. Sometimes you will see the name in a book or it will be a historical reference, or something else similar. The name will usually appear out of no where and right off the top of your head so no matter how silly it seems at the time, you should know that it has been a gift to you from the Goddess and the Faery and should be looked upon a such. Your magickal name should be shared only with the Faery, the Goddess, and those closest and dear to you.

(To be done on a Full Moon)
Take a nice warm bath and pour a bit of salt into your bath water. Scrub your skin until it feels like it is glowing, then rub some olive oil or the oil of your choice into your skin. Then put on comfortable and loose clothing or a robe if you like.
Put on some soft background music or drumming music (your choice).
Sit at your altar and do your breathing exercises until you feel completely relaxed.

Annoint one candle to represent the Goddess and one candle to represent the God (your choice of colors) and place in holders.
Annoint one candle to represent the Faery Folk.
First light your candle to the Celtic God Cernunnos (ser-new-nos) and say:
Great God Cernunnos, return to earth again
Come at my call and show thyself to thy daughter.
Shepherd of goats, upon the wild hills way
Lead thy lost flock from darkness into day
Open the door, the dorr that hath no key
The door of dreams, whereby thy daughter can come to thee.
Next, light your candle to the Celtic Goddess Arianrhod (air-i-an-od) and say:
Oh, Arianrhod, you who are maiden, mother and lover
Lady of initiation, you gave me my name and my weapons
So that I may make my way through life
Lady of Incarnation and Keeper of Caer Silverwheel
From you did I come, and to you I now return.
Next, light your Faery Folk candle and call upon your elemental fairies using your faery quarter call.
Next, light your personal white candle and recite the following:
I (Your name here)
Who is also known as (Your magickal name here)
Pledge my life, my gifts, and talents to the Lord and Lady
And to the Way of the Faery.
Look upon your daughter as she
Finds the courgage to face her deepest self.
I am (Your magickal name here)
In a place that is not a place,
In a time that is not a time and this
Way of Faery shall be my path.
Next, thank then dismiss the God and Goddess and blow out the candles. Then thank and dismiss the elementals and blow out that candle. Open your circle and go drink some wine or juice or another beverage and have a small bite to eat. Continue to allow your personal candle to burn until it burns down.
You are now walking the Faery Way.
Faery Prayer
This offering can be used as a daily prayer or ritual invocation. To begin, find a quiet place where you will not be disturbed. You may want to light a faery candle (regular taper candle) to help you draw in the energies of the Sidhe. Sit comfortably, relaxing your body with rhythmic breathing. Allow your mind to settle, releasing any errant thoughts. When you feel completely calm and at peace, ring a small bell three times, and begin your prayer. As you speak, visualize images of the Good Folk. See the light of their spirits gathering around you. Say the prayer one or three times, then ring the bell seven times. Wait in silence for any communication or communion the Faery might offer.
Mist-clad in the light of the moon
Starspun seekers, I search for thee!
Faery light, I ask thy boon
Of branch and thorn and elder tree.
Wood woven creatures, shadow weavers
River keepers, come to me.
Just beyond reaching
Never in keeping
Spirits of Faery, I call unto thee.
Wind-hewn wildness
Dark and brightness
Spiral enchantments, born of the sky
Cradle me with elven hands
Abide with me, thy human child.
When you are ready to return to your orinary consciousness, ring the bell three times and with deep full breaths, inhale vital energy and vitality. Record any special experiences in a journal so that you will retain them in full detail.
Note: A "boon" is a favor.
