The Magick of the Fae: Flower and Garden Fairies and How to Attract Them 

Holy moly people, she’s not making the fae sound negative! Working with them is a serious practice that requires a lot of dedication and knowledge and you can get yourself in a great deal of trouble if you don’t know what you’re getting into! The fae isn’t all rainbows and tinkerbells, don’t get mad at her because she’s telling you the truth about something that you don’t want it to be! Keep doing your thing mint, I really love your videos and you provide wonderful and genuinely helpful advice to people who really want to learn 🧚🏼‍♂️🍄🖤

Mint just keeping it real on the fae front~

When my mom was little growing up in England, my grandpa told her that if she saw a tree with an opening near the roots, a fairy lived there. He told her to knock on the tree three times, say "Fairy, fairy in the tree, won't you come out and play with me?" and leave an offering of jam and custard (my grandpa's favorite food). My mom said she used to leave her snacks in front of trees and play with the fairies in her imagination for hours and hours. Not exactly garden fairy related, but I wanted to share anyway!

You should be careful when starting anything you don't know much about, and should DEFINITELY be respectful. There's negative and positive to everything and to understand it you need to accept both. Mintkeep doing your thing girl, we're ALL here for it.

Ahhh!!! The bit about the bluebells, throat chakra, Mercury, and Gemini 🤯 I never made this connection before! Much appreciated!!!

I've been doing research about the Fae lately and stumbled across your channel. You're doing an amazing job at being so honest about both the good and the bad the Fair Folk can do. You're going to save a lot of folks some interesting times :) I've been a practicing witch for ten years but never had a true path until I realized the Fae were trying to get my attention (I'm dense and need a 2x4 sometimes).

Pets with fae and Beg repellant tips: I wonder how the fae feel about cats and dogs that like to hunt mice and rabbits. I try to stop my pets, but sometimes they find a "snack" Something I use to keep not so nice bugs from snacking om my plants/veggies is dishsoap+water or dishsoap+water+hot sauce. It doesn't kill them, but it makes the plants not tastey for them. I don't know how the fae would feel about those options though.

I fell asleep listening to you talking about primroses and faerie rings and had a dream that I opened a door to the Fae Realm and I've just come back to finish the video! Your channel is so interesting ^_^

"Trimming them into popsicles" LOL love it!

You totally made that video for me. I’m the “Sandy” here. 😁 I’m deeply interested in jumping into this world and it was just the “slow down and learn more” push I needed. Thanks for sharing your wisdom and warm spirit with us newbies!

I'm eager for you to get back to this series. I've studied Fae on an academic level, specifically Scottish, Irish, and Manx beings. And while earth fae are very lovely and exciting, my personal favorite are the watery or oceanic beings. Can't wait for you to talk about them!

I´m totally in your corner about the Fae, most ppl just misunderstand them ... also ... Girl, your Earrings ... and your totally cute and awesome "Hair-Bow" ... I´m totally in love with your style and i absolutely dig your energy!

I’m just starting out as a newbie witch. I love your videos and find them very helpful so thank you 😊

I love the Kiki’s Delivery service poster! One of my favourites 💕✨☘️

My experience so far with the fae have been when I was walking around my garden and something will quickly move and it is usually these really pretty geckos like the prettiest patterns I’ve ever see and this only just started happening when I started researching the fae. I think the geckos are fae.

Very informative for a Witchling like me ❣️

She’s not presenting them in a negative but real way! You have to be cautious with the fae and know what you’re getting into

I think it's good to be cautious with working with anh spirits. Any groups can have good and bad spirits in them. Honestly I think it's important to listen to your intuition when working with spirits, set boundaries, expectations, and just like with people it's important to communicate these things with spirit! And maybe if you are scared to work with any entity it just means you aren't ready yet, not that the entity is bad exactly? Just not for you right now. And EXACTLY what you said Mint!!

i love your energy! definitely subbing

I passed a ring of rocks on a river trail. Not only did I suddenly go too far past the trail entrance/exit, but I accidentally ran my friend's bike through a turd pile. I definitely must have passed a fairy ring, even if it was human made, there was definitely some fairy mischief going on.

MINT MUVAH!!! I never clicked so fast!

I honestly was trying to figure out if I could do a fairy garden without possible negative outcome. So saying having a fairy garden is a good way to be neighborly put me at ease. 💕

🌈💙🌈 mint, let's start a band called Wild Violets! I can play drums grrrrrl 😎

I love you so much! Thank you for sharing your light with the rest of us!! I feel like we are kindred spirits...Thank you.

I LOVE your hair in this video it looks great on you!!! I love your style u r Beautiful and your videos are so fun to watch. Have a great day!❤️

Lavanders and Sunflowers are my fav flowers and I use name Violet a lot in english❤

Hello, I have been a follower of your Instagram for a while, and found your youtube channel a few days ago. I have been binge watching. Ever since I was a little kid I have been A faerie lovers hardcore believer , I love them so much. I have been learning more more about witchcraft for a while now, I finally feel I have found my place. I'm excited to start my journey.

OMG its wild i chose now to re watch this video.. just a couple days ago i was hanging outside meditating, i was reading my own tarot cards and i felt like there was just something watching me, i start to turn my head & theres two dragonflies next to each other just floating near me staring at me then when i looked at them they turned away and just flew off but i had such a warm, nice & funny feeling when it happened? like it was so cute, they were so cheeky and i was like that didnt feel like it was just an insect but i thought i was just hoping it would be something magical!! haha

Ahhh I am in love with this video!! Some of these plants are recuring in my childhood and stories I ear from around here♡♡ also knowing about fox gloves and the fact that theres fox gloves and foxes living around my home is just so much more magical after earing these stories ♡♡ I AM ALSO A WEED PERSON 100% (I dont have the courage to cut anything ever!!) And fairy rings... My mom has them in her house every autumn *^* I dont think I ever stepped inside one as a child ^^" *yay for 3 leaf clovers, always loved them for beeing such a commun underdog ^^"* Ahhhh seriously I loved this video ♡ Sorry for the fangirling ahaha

Okay I have a story but it's not beautiful, and kind of odd. So I was hanging out with some friends (mentality dull) people I might add. It was like midnight and we decided to go to the lake. We were walking distance anyway so we went to à pond area that runs into the lake. I felt this strange presence and I know something supernatural was there due to being an empath. We walked to the end of the dock, which was covered in spiders, and spider webs. The whole time I was talking about how beautiful they are, and how great they are for the ecosystem. I've seen a lot of different creatures, unfortunately I have seen the more dangerous creatures. We had our flash light checking out the area before we jumped in, and I mean it when I say I was terrified to swim for some reason. Then we notice a being on the other side of the pond. It was white, and humanoid. It was roughly like 5'5-5'7. It also looked it had a tail, but looking back that could've been really long hair. The creepy part is is hovered over the water until half way in the pond (gliding towards us) and then it dipped into the water. Its eyes were very large and reflective. The reflected white/yellow like the sun but more white I guess. It then like swam toward us like a alligator, but it finally went all the way under the water. Everyone but myself ran. I called out to them do not run like prey. Calmly left. On the way back we kept checking our surroundings. At the time I knew it wasn't human or a regular animal. After a few months through research I figured out I walked up on a Nixie. We were very lucky to be alive lol.

About seeing faeries; I believe when I was very young 10-12 years old I had seen a fuzzy caterpillar outside my window sill. I went outside to look at it and it was an all black woolly bear caterpillar with PENGUINS on its back. a little penguin bird dotted down its back! I've never seen anything like this and I think maybe I saw a faerie!

Oh I’ve been following you on Instagram and I just found your channel ^_^ love it!!

@ 1:12 good points! It's wise to understand that some are night energy while some are light, therefore, it's wise to acknowledge various ways of working with them . Night energy requires a lot of boundary protection because they are fixated on feeding off your energy and not energy of joy, but energy of downfall-pain-fear- misery-angry-violence-death-depression. Once you invite lower entity, you open portal, giving them power over your energy, and their price is one of highest, it lead to blood sacrifice. If you can not please their needs, they will create chaos so they can feed. If you are not willing to work with blood sacrifice, do not start relationship. Not every soul with interest towards these enchanting beings is setford on this planet to work with them.

I love those dreads!!

When i was littler i had a dream with this little flower creature all the time and i was absolutely obsessed with them and still am and my biological aunt interacts with them. I feel like it means something maybe. I really love plants and the outside.

What do the fae think about weed? I was thinking about leaving them some bud or a pot brownie 🤔 😆

"Fae $#!%list..." lol you crack me up!

Good video, wise information, amusing narrator. Thanks Mint, like the channel. Be well.

One time I was snorkeling on a family trip, I saw this beautiful rainbow fish that was changing colors. It looked like a normal decent sized fish but it stared at me when I was underwater. I called my brother over and when I looked back it was gone.

She is telling the truth we have to be aware of some fae

I adore your hair!!! ❤️ the color combo looks gorgeous fairy godmother :)))

I heard contracts were in food, don’t eat the fairy food, but I’ve seen many people accept gifts like stones and crystals, is that not ok?

My favourite flower is also the bluebells 💙 always have been!

The best description of a weed I ever heard was it's an undesirable plant... Which makes me think it can be a desirable plant to some :)

I feel really guilty if my cats kill a insect or play with something I can't see which is probably a faery but I also know that the fae loves animals? Can someone help me out??

The message about mugwort was for me lol! I didn't know that

I saw what I took as a big fairy ring one time similar to the first example picture you used, but it wasn’t a complete ring because it cut off at a curb. It was around a lovely big tree though. So like…I’d say 60%+ of the ring was there, and it ended because it was the end of the yard. Still possible to be a fairy ring? It popped up out of nowhere one day and sort of took my breath away when I saw it as I drove past.

It must of been my subconscious that made me chose snow drops. Lavender I have. Thyme. Bell flowers. I think my community could use positive energy.

What a nice subject! Flower and Fae And giirll people will always complaint 😒 I love Foxgloves and Bluebells for fae! There’s something about those bell shapes that give me an extra fairy vibe. Do you have the books of the Flower Fairies from Cicely Mary Barker? I think you probably have, classics! 🥰🌸🧚🏼‍♀️🧚🏿‍♀️🧚🏻‍♂️🧚🏽🌺

I do wanna be cautious with fae, but I do want to make a garden for them to relax in. The only problem is, is that we don’t have green lushes grass and plants where I live. So it’s gonna be kinda difficult.😅

Thank you!

You making the Fae seem negative?? Have you seen the witchtok community??? Your video's are educational, kind and informative. Thank you!

"I'm a weed person." -Mintfaery 2020

The weird looking out of place insects i have seen, on a path in the woods at a psytrance festival. Faerie doors seem to work well, if you want them showing up in your bedroom or wherever in your house. I see them in a constant state of flux, looking human, then not, mixed with both animal and insect looking forms

I loved this now I’ve moved back in with mom her garden is so beautiful I’ve been saving this video so I knew how to give a space there for fae to chill and to be a good neighbour so yay! One question though she has a gardener so I’m not in control of how weeds are treated though I have asked mom to tell him no pesticides. If he is trimming things, weeding etc as his job states how would the fae take that? xx

Thank you thank you thank you 💗🙏💗

Jerry Lewis?! That just made my day. Thanks for the information

Thank you so Mint! This series on the fae is so informative and awesome! will you be getting into water fae as well? maybe undines? lady of the lake? Thanks again!

How do you think the Fae feel about specific gardening practices like composting weeds, vermiposting, or using predator insects like lady bugs to control aphids?

Helloooo!! First off I just want to say how much I like your channel and just you in general. I feel like we would be best friends if we were around each other 🌱 secondly! I have learned SO much about the magical world from your channel and I just wanted to thank you. Thirdly, I wanted to ask your opinion about whether or not you think I have been contacted by the fae. From about 3 or 4 to about 6 or 7 I would have terrible nightmares. From the age of 5 to almost 7 I would have a dream that I was falling off a sky scraper in the middle of a volcano onto the ground. I would actually feel myself hit the ground and die, then I would wake up screaming, crying, and in a puddle of my own sweat. My younger years I had a different dream every night where I would be laying in bed in my room like i was going to sleep, but i would open my eyes and the room would have a dark blood red tint to it. All around the room high up on the walls there was a shelf with stuffed animals on it. In the very corner looking directly at me was a pinocchio doll. The longer the dream went on the darker my room would get, and he would get bigger and more scary. The weird thing is that I actually liked pinocchio as a kid. I also never had a doll like that. Now a days, I remember 0 percent of my dreams. But i am always finding things moved around my house. And this has happened at every house I've lived at. My husband and I used to call it our home gnome, but now learning about the fae it just makes more sense. Also if it is the fae I feel like I might have insulted them by calling them out of their name.

do the fae not like wood? I'm not talking about tree I'm talking about like... Wooden boards from a tree. Because my deck is made of wood and thats where my garden is. (like so she can see)

When adults help children build fairy houses outside, do the fae understand that it's just people being nice or playing fantasy and not necessarily inviting contact?

How is that being negative? I would want to know what I am getting into especially if it’s serious and a life-long commitment... and yes you should inform people the pros and cons of every situation, ignore the people telling you to tell everyone about the rainbows and flowers only, GIVE US ALL, GIVE IT REAL

Can the fairies be the plants themselves? As in like is the spirit or the essence of the plant the fairy? Rather than the plant attracting the fairy...something I've always wondered???

Hello my name is Isaiah, I have cameras in my house and noticed glowing objects and my fan (that was turned off) mysteriously started moving. I think I I possibly caught something on the camera can you please help me identify it if needed. I can email you the video so you can give me you're thoughts. Please help.

With weeds, what if it’s a species not native to the area which chokes out other plants? Because I’ve spent a lot of time pulling those for a park I volunteer at and I don’t want to have already angered the fair folk...

I used to be so obsessed with fairies when I was 10 . So much that I build a house out of twigs and gave them milk and honey

Hmm... What would happen if you put treats for them inside a faery ring?

Can you do water fae next and connecting with mermaid fae?

0:36 😂. Btw love your channel mint u have been so helpful. ❤️💕

I really want to do more research on the fae but im just utterly terrified that I might do something wrong and offend. How do you get over the fear, and is it okay to do research on them? Also is it ok to set up a fairy garden or altar but not work with them? but just as a positive gesture to them ? Or should I just not do anything... im just super scared to do anything 😖

Is it possible to see a faery even if you don’t work with them?

Why are we not suppose to know they exists if I have seen them before. There’s a lot of questions I have. I don’t understand why they expect to help us, but they don’t want us to help them. If I have no disrespectful intention I don’t understand why they would act in a disrespectful manner. Also, do you have social media? I feel like you are one of my guides in life. What you are doing is amazing. This world is changing for the good. Love, like, dislike.

Does anyone have a special way of discarding offerings once they're done? And how do you guys normally tell if it's time to get rid of the snacks bc they've been enjoyed? I'm going to meditate on this as well and see if the fae have any direct advice but otherwise just curious bc this is a lovely group of witches

Are fae anywhere and everywhere around the world or no

can you plant a faerie ring of mushrooms or flowers would that still work or does have to be all natural i really really want to work with the fae and visit the fae i want to meditate in a faerie circle but there arent any around me or in my yard for me to visit

I, of course, love everything fae but I got really excited about 5cent lemons. I wish that sh!t be real haha

I just planted forget me nots two days ago

I had a dream about a fairy ring. Does that mean anything?

Do you have any books or references? for personal research

What about buying st johns wort in a store? Is that different hahaha

I have a question. A few nights ago I saw an entity in my dream and a name Gwendolyn. I am searching far and wide to get an understanding of who she is. I never heard that name before in my life. I ended up that this name represents the Moon Goddess and a legend about a Fae and King Arthur. Is there anyone who can help me with my quest in finding her? Yours sincerely,

My pollinating fae appeared as a spider i think & i squashed it 😭 im only just bonding with her at the moment, has/does this ruined our bonding?

Hey girl! Loving your videos 😊 curious if they also disguise themselves as ants? We’ve had a lot more ants in our apartment this year and I’m feeling really guilty about setting out ant traps.. but not sure what else to do

People live in DENIAL thank you for being balanced and telling the TRUTH!

I need some help. When I sage my room sometimes there's a little green orb that follows the circular motions I'm making with my hand. I don't know what it is, a fae, a spirit, a trick of the light? Has anybody had this kind of experience?

Hello! I been acknowledging faes for over a year now since I saw one in my dream state. I'm able to connect and help spirits crossover. I have a host of abilities. Anywho, last weekend I noticed a mushroom circle on the side of my house and some in front. I knew it was meant for me. I follow the faerie whisper on RU-vid. She told me I can place crystals or food inside the circle, which I did(crystals). Several days ago, I went to check on it. Everything was totally gone. That same night a male fae came to me through my dream state. He was not so nice. For some reason he got me upset, so I ruff him up a bit. I feel bad. Now I wonder if I'm being punished. A few days ago there was ants all over my bed and floor. Can u help me out

I want attract the fae into my garden but I've got a cat that is a mouse hunter will this course problems?

Any witches here know of a way to lucid dream? I've only had done it 3 times my whole life, all within the span of a year since starting to be a witch. I've tried mugwort but nothing has worked(I tried making a tea with it and using oils) Any help would be amazing

Spiders are great for your plants. They eat other bugs

I absolutely love your intro!

Thnx for ur info!!! I'm new to the faeries! But I'm being pulled in this direction now! :)

... I don't think she makes the fae seem negative. You have to be cautious with that realm before diving in bro bro. She's sharing from experience, peeps would do well to listen.

Speaking of Faery rings and off looking animals. Two quick stories. The first I was walking to the store with my sister and cousin and we saw a faery ring that sparked a conversation about faeries that lasted the whole trip. Mainly because I had got the compulsion to want the dance in it. On the way back I told them I think it would be lovely to meet faeries. He said something like well here's your chance go ahead as we neared the ring again and he and my sister started chuckling at me so. Keep in mind they had been picking at me being a scaredy cat all day. So I handed my stuff to him went over to the faery ring and said I would like to meet you, Hopped in, and started dancing the only parts I knew to an Irish dance a friend of mine showed me while singing a little ditty. Everything at that moment is a little fuzzy I all i really remember is dancing. Then next thing I know I'm being pulled out. My cousin held me by my shoulders and with a firm voice told me to never do that again. I was still giggling, but they were so serious. I had random giggle fits that whole day. Each time they would look at me with concern. A few days later I asked my sister why they were mad at me and what happened. She said they weren't mad just scared. And told me that I blinked out twice in a matter of seconds then it seemed as though I was fading away right in front of them. And as it was going on the were yelling at me to get out and that I had told them I couldn't. I don't know if they remember, but I do. The second again I was walking with my brother and we were walking back home from getting pizza. Now the pizza shop is on our towns main street (which is like something you'd see out of a western and behind the side with the pizza shop and theater is a parking lot and empty lots overgrown with plants we use to play in these lots as kids)and around the corner from our old house. Next to the pizza shop is an alley then an old theater. So walking past these two buildings on our marry way home something black comes out of the theater window almost run into my brother then fly past us and down the the alley. And for the few seconds I saw it it looked like a beautiful black, grey, and purple butterfly fly... only thing it had arms, hands with covering its mouth like it knew it had a close call and legs and feet. I look over to my brother who looked like he had seen a ghost. And I knew he saw what he looked like before he started to change. He finally asked me what the heck that was (though he used more profanity). And i was like I think it was a faery. Is eyes widened even more and I guess he saw it on my face and how turned around a little that I wanted to see where it when and gave me a flat out no and to not talk about what happende then rushed us home. But ofcourse I told my sister. I can't remember which happened first, but i do know they both happened during the summer. Well those are just two experiences I think I was in middle school when they both happened. Hope you find them as entertaining as i still do.

Why are people so resistant to learning about these aspects of the Fae? It's a legit, wise warning. Not all Fae appreciate humanity.

St. John’s Wort is known as the faeries horse. Stories tell if you pick the plant after sunset a faery horse will carry you about all night and in the morning it’ll leave you where it has taken you. I’m a long time lurker and always enjoy your videos. I do like the new fae series and agree they should be taken with caution.

When I was younger I would work with them a lot, on tests I would squint my eyes and see sparkles by the right answers. I remember catching a white butterfly when I was younger but it had blue eyes that I swear were not bug eyes

I'd be real curious to know more about the St. John's Wort. I'd like to grow it some day, but I use it as a herbal remedy so I would need to pick some of it.

I’m so pleased you mentioned that we could do nice thing for them without having to work with them. I’m sure it would be lovely, but I’m a tad fickle with my craft sometimes and would be devastated if I unknowingly upset the fae. Would love to make them nice things though in the garden! So this was very very helpful. Also another question of you don’t mind answering~ is it possible to communicate with the fae without “working” with them? Or is it more of a “case by case” situation?

I've heard the thing about the fae quickly transforming into bugs and it just kind of occurred to me watching this video of a time that has always felt really off to me. I've had fae experiences ever since I was very small and have always been very connected to faeries, and there was one time, when I was maybe about 8, that I woke up randomly in the middle of the night and saw a black shape on the wall, I turned my light on and realised it was the BIGGEST spider I had and have ever seen. I screamed the house down and shut my eyes tight but when I opened them, quite soon after, it was completely gone, my parents couldn't find a trace of it, and I felt so shaken by the experience I couldn't sleep for a few days. I know spiders can get away pretty quick, but it was abnormally large for where I live and the whole thing felt so off, especially how I woke up randomly and immediately looked at the wall. I'm not sure though, can the fae turn themselves into spiders lol? and if it was a fae creature, it certainly wasn't the friendly sort I was used to :s
