Spring is obviously a time to celebrate growth, regeneration, and healing. The Earth is reawakening for the year and you should be as well. You’ve reflected throughout the long nights of winter, you’ve used your early spring days to plan, and now it’s time to begin to bloom. Ostara welcomes the official start of the spring thaw, while Walpurgisnacht offers a chance to fly in communion with others, and Beltane stands as the last point before summer begins to take hold. This season ask yourself how you’re changing or growing and how your practice might grow as well.

There are many types of fairy folk that are commonly experienced and fun to learn about. I will post a different type everyday . (This is Part 6)
🌼 Dryads 🌼
🍄 Dryads are the indwelling spirits of trees and are able to slip out of their at trunks and limbs at night, appearing as tall, tree-like white or gray shadows in the moonlight. They silently roam through homes, specially ones made of wood or old ones where rough wood was hewn for posts and beams. While inside a home, they may stand at the window peering out at the moon lit night, humming softly, getting a new perspective of their own wooded habitat from interior spaces. They are kind, gentle, and grandfatherly.
🌼 How Dryads Help Us
🌼
🍄
Dryads want to keep the trees they inhabit healthy and looking good and are sensitive to all the creatures that depend upon them remaining well-rooted and stable, so they need our conscientious care and appreciation of trees. They do not like when limbs fall from the trees they inhabit and prefer that their human counterparts collect and branches and twigs that may fall (it actually embarrasses them or makes them sad to have their own dead branches beneath their canopy). Dryads appeal to us to help them maintain the base of their trunks keeping it all tidy and delightful, and will acknowledge our care for them in return by keeping us safe as best they can. Dryads will not allow the tree they lodge in, or its heavy branches, to fall upon homes or people if they can help it. And they often convey mystical messages to anyone looking up at them or caring for them in appreciation. Messages such as “It is time for you to move on in life,” or “Great change is coming.” Conversely, they will deliver messages you may ask them to send out, to change the weather or to send thoughts or warnings to loved ones.
🌼 How To Attract Dryads
🌼
🍄 Clear any underbrush and broken twigs or limbs from any trees nearby. Inspect the tree for damage, look closely at the bark and even place a rock circle at the base surrounding the tree to let your residential Dryads know that you are focusing on them and wish them well. Be kind to animals that live in their branches and don’t be too shy to talk, sit with, hug, or sing to trees that live among you. Try it and see what happens. These deeply compassionate, aged spirits are there to help us.
A little oatcake and amethyst offering to the faeries this morning since they’ve been bugging me for my attention. Hope they’re willing to share with the ants hehe.
For the cake:
1/3 cup of oatmeal
½ cup of milk
1 teaspoon rosewater
3 teaspoons sugar
Microwave in a bowl until it’s sticky enough to pry out with a knife and stay together, I topped it with a dried apricot and flowers
men who drive fucking gigantic shiny pickups that they obviously just have as ego-boosters who fucking tailgate you on an empty stretch of freeway at night and they’ve replaced their headlights with fucking military-grade 500 proton scatter billion lumen searchlights that they fucking utterly blind you with while honking for you to get out of your lane because they just desperately have to go a full 40 miles over the speed limit or their dick will just jump clean off their balls and hurl itself out their window in shame
