Deep within the North Coast Forest, among the trees, gullies and Byron streets there exist a number of beings. Calling themselves faeries, considering themselves to be of the fair race, dressing in wofty garments, they follow ways that may seem peculiar to outsiders. Some have wings, others recite poetry, and a special few dance like there is no tomorrow. But don't be fooled - these ways are based on ancient practices and they hold strange powers in these parts.

You now have been gently warned.

Faeries will often be seen at North Coast gatherings such as the festival circuit, natural places, markets and protests. There are faeries for night, day, Summer, Spring, Autumn, Winter, water, earth, fire and air. Being akin to the elements, it is natural that they are attracted to nature spots. So if you stand still, you may be able to experience them and feel the faerie wings touch lightly on your cheek or see a magic faerie wand glowing on a tree.

Faerie Chant:

Try this chant when in a North Coast forest and see what it brings:

Faeries come out, come out where-ever you
Please thy eye and ear
Pass out thy magic

Xochitl Quintanar
