You are the kindest thing that ever happened to me, even if that is not how our tale is told. When everyone else told me I was destined to be a forgotten nymph that nurtured flowers and turned meadows gold, You saw that the ichor that resides in me demanded it’s own thrown. You showed me how a love like ours can turn even the darkest, coldest realm into the happiest of homes.
To see a fairy in your dream indicates that you are in search of some help or advice for a problem or decision, but may not want to directly admit you need help. In particular, if the fairy is evil, then it suggests that an aspect of yourself needs to be set free. The fairy is also symbolic of your soul and the feminine aspects of yourself.
The first advice of absolute importance is to avoid starting anything during the Moon’s Void of Course. Things like interviews, important business meetings, initiating projects, and especially Spells likely won’t turn out well or will remain unfinished.
When planning a date for your Spell, it’s important to take into consideration the following things:
Moon Phase
Moon Sign
Day of the Week
Retrograde Planets
Make sure the above bullets points align with the goals of your Spell. We have a Moon Phase Planner for 2020 that has all the above information to help pick a date for your Spells!
For example, if we wanted to do a spell for Material Wealth:
December 24, 2020 is an excellent day because:
the Moon is Waxing and is close to a Full Moon
the Moon is in Taurus, the sign of luxury and material possessions
it’s a Thursday which is ruled by Jupiter - the planet of wealth and expansion
Venus is NOT Retrograde
Now keep in mind that these are guidelines for timing your spells with the best natural energy available. You can do a money spell any time you like (avoid the Void of Course Moon) but it may not have as much supportive energy compared to the above example. This is because of the reasons given in the example. Taurus, the ruler of wealth, is a much better sign for getting money compared to Cancer for example.
The following information will help guide you in planning a date for your Spells.

Moon Phases
Full Moon - the highest point in the moon’s cycle where its energies are at its peak. This is an excellent time for divination.
Note: when a Full Moon occurs twice in a month (October 31 2020) it is considered a Blue Moon. This is similar to a Full Moon but has more power
Waning Moon - the moon here is decreasing to a New Moon so its energies are that of degeneration. Use this time for banishing, cleansing, destruction or bringing anything to an end such as a relationship or bad habits.
New Moon - on the waning side of the New Moon, it has an ending type of energy as the moon is “disappearing”. On the waxing side it has the energy of potential, ready for new beginnings.
Waxing Moon - a time of growth as the light of the moon increases to its peak at the Full Moon. Use this time to do Spells for building something up in your life such as health, new friendships.
Note: it is better to do the Spell closer to the Full/New Moon depending on the goal. Unless you want to do the Spells for multiple days, such as cleansing/banishing, you can start right after the Full Moon and end on the New Moon. This supports the goal of removing bad energy.
Days of the Week
Monday: —————
Monday is the day of the Moon. The moon carries feminine psychic energy and is a great day to start developing psychic abilities, perform divination, cleanse the home, or banishing rituals.
Tuesday: ————— Tuesday is the day of Mars. Mars carries the masculine warrior energy and is a great day for doing Spells where much energy is needed. It is also a good day for black magick where the result is quick and active. Think of the moment when two swords clash.

Ningyo is a Japanese water fairy who cries pearls instead of tears. Some say that Ningyo has the head of a human and the body of a fish. Others believe it is clad in sheer silk robes that move about it, like waves. Ningyos dwell in gorgeous palaces beneath the sea, and are very seductive.
Urashima Taro was a young fisherman with a kindly nature. One day, while returning home, came upon some youths tormenting a turtle.When he could not make them stop, he offered to buy the creature from them. The youths grabbed his money and ran, so the fisherman place the poor turtle in the shallows and watched as it recovered and swam away. Out in his boat the next day, Urashima heard someone calling his name. Looking down, he saw the turtle he had rescued, and was amazed when it invited him to visit the King’s Palace beneath the waves. Urashima climbed on its back and the turtle grew much larger, taking him down to a magnificent palace. Brilliant fish ushered him into the presence of a lovely Sea Princess, who told Urashima that she was, in fact, the turtle he had rescued. The fisherman was utterly smitten, and he and the maiden lived in bliss for three days. Urashima then became worried about his parents and insisted on visiting them. His lady gave him a small box as a talisman, with instructions NOT to open it. Urashima promised to obey.
On returning to his village, he was dismayed, for everything was different, and folk told of a young fisherman who had disappeared 300 years ago.With nothing left of this home, Urashima could only return to the underwater palace, but first he rested on the shore in bewilderment. Seeking some answers, he pulled out the talisman box and opened it. A violet mist rose from it and enveloped him, whereupon he crumbled to dust.
This tale warns us- as so many do- that time passes differently in Fairyland, and that if we forget our world, we may not get back to it. It warns of too great an immersion in fairy matters, but also, in a sense, of too little. It was Urashima’s lack of faith and questing human mind that killed him. Our error is to try to have our cake and eat it,too!
