State Your Intent

Your childhood daydreams were essentially random, unfocused scrying: delightfully entertaining, but often not a lot more. Having no focus or control over the activity can even be counterproductive. It can also result in interference from undesirables. Therefore, having a specific purpose in mind and stating it clearly goes a long way to ensure that what you are tapping into is what you are expecting. So, start with your general statement of intent. For example,

I call to the universe to witness this rite, to aid me in contacting the realms of the creatures of Fae, that they may tell me what I need to know.

Once comfortable, you may want to use one of the following charms before you start your work. They are adaptations of old English folk charms, so they have some providence. They are best chanted in a multiple of three, and once you have built a rapport with a particular entity, you can substitute in its name, calling it directly rather than just calling out blindly, hoping someone will answer (although, if your dowsing has been effective, it shouldn’t be a blind hope). Once you feel comfortable enough, you should try writing your own summoning charm that can be tailored to the Fae you are working with. For the time being, you could choose to use an adaptation of existing charms.

Come in the stillness, come in the night, come soon,

and bring delight. Beckoning, beckoning, left hand and right,

spirit of [insert element here], reveal yourself tonight!

Faery fair and faery bright, come and be my chosen sprite,

spirit of [element], appear to my sight!

More on Graffiti

and its uses in scrying

It is possible to scry in just about anything: water, oil, tarot cards, and so on. And my personal favorite is graffiti. I have maintained for a long time that, where once we might have sought out the Fae in unusual formations of rocks, plants, or trees and even in the water pools and swirls on a riverbank, now we feel the traces of the urban Fae in the artwork scrawled in underpasses and dark alleys. They lurk just on the edge of our vision and inspire those of us who are sensitive and, for time immemorial, the artists and revolutionaries among us who have been known for their visionary abilities.

There is a particular loathly lady who is the faery equivalent of a wild child: mystifying, intoxicating, and inspiring. The leannan sídhe, whose name quite literally means “faery lover,” is said to be the muse of many an artist or poet. None of her tales are particularly wholesome. She keeps her lovers trapped in her thrall until they either find another person to love or are driven mad by her tender ministrations. An exquisite death: slowly being drained of life, sucked dry while all the time creating the most breathtaking works of art, music, or writing.

Things have not changed much, in my opinion. If you see a particularly inspiring piece of artwork, the likelihood is that there is a touch of the other about it.
