The Faeries of Winter

Humans easily recognize the fae who brighten the flower blooms and make the

spring air sparkle.

Yet faeries do not leave the earth when it turns cold. We just have to work harder

to get your attention.

In winter, the fae cannot work with the pretty petals and vivid green grass
and leaves, yet the work continues. 

While the days may feel cold and harsh, you are not alone. Like the

Capricorn goat who rules the season, we work harder to get your attention,

if you work a little harder, you can make the work lighter.

A part of our job is to help you find the joy within you. Like the flowers, 

it has never gone away. It just relaxes. The joyful feelings of winter 

are of reverie and reminiscence. Feeling the warmth that resides in your

heart, that can hide in the giddiness of spring fever. 

Some of you lose touch with this joy and fall into depression. Like a

hummingbird trapped in a tiny cage, you know there are places to fly 

and flit but you will not reach them given the restrictions you face. 

If you are feeling blue, there are ways to access this joy, and we are

happy to share them with you.

Close your eyes and take three deep breaths. Now picture a winter

 day before the sunrise. All around are shades of gray with little movement

 and a feeling of lifelessness.

Now, turn your attention to the east and watch the magic as the sun rises! 

See the glints of color as the sun glimmers off the dew drops, ice and snow

drifts. Hear the first birds, twittering their morning song. Feel the warmth

of the Sun King kissing your face. Look down to see the tracks of small

animals who have just scurried by. With the excitement of a child, 

look for signs of movement indicating that they are still close. You can ask

 them if they have a message for you, and they will answer.

Feel the soft tingling, growing more persistent, as the Faeries of Winter

fly through your aura, trying to get your attention. 

Feel the joy of hope and expectation as the sun rises higher, flooding 

you with unconditional love. 

Stay here as long as you like, and keep the feeling with you by noticing, the

beauty of winter around you. 

Your attention says, “Thank you” to the winter faeries who work so hard to

bring light and joy into the darkness. And they will stay close all

year long. Just acknowledge and believe. ~Silas
