Fairies Dancing and Fairy Rings

The fae are natural spirits of the ether that can take on whatever form they wish, be it human, animal, plant or anything else. They are all around us in our every day lives but we can only see them when our hearts and minds are open. They can also be seen in the art, music and movies we watch. There are many things you can do to attract fairies and bring them into your life.

One way is to learn to dance. Having a love for the art of dance can be a way to connect with fairies and the other fae that inhabit our world. Dance can be a way to communicate our emotions and feelings, something that is very important to the fae.

Some fae can fly with their wings, but others are not so fortunate and remain earthbound making their homes in forests, rivers and lakes. In folklore tales, fae and elves gather at burial mounds, mountains and forest streams and often dance. They are said to play with the fate of humans and their mischievous nature has been linked to abduction, immorality and even death. Lighter interpretations link them to magic, springtime and love.

Many paintings of fairies dancing are done during the Romantic movement and are meant to capture emotion. One such painting is called Oberton, Titania and Puck with Fairies Dancing by the British painter William Blake. It was painted in 1789 and depicts the Fairy King Oberon and Queen Titania watching as the mischievous fairy Puck dances with the other fairies who appear in Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

A fairy ring is another place where fairies can be found and they are known to dance in a circular formation. This is a very dangerous thing to do and it’s reported that if a person were to join in the circle they would be forced to dance until they passed out from exhaustion. The person would then be imprisoned in the fairy ring and kept there until they were found by a friend or relative.

Getting away from the fairy ring is not an easy task and it takes great patience and determination to do so. It is also reported that the rescued person must be careful not to be taken as well. This is especially true when they are a child or young adult. Various precautions have been taken including pages from the bible being sewn into clothing and keeping one foot out of the circle.

The fae can be a scary and mystical presence but they can also be a wonderful part of your life when you learn to recognize them and understand their role in our world. When you are open to their energy and believe in yourself, they can help you realize your dreams and make your life happier and more fulfilling. The more you practice, exhibit patience and have a positive attitude, the easier it will be to attract fairies into your life.
