Calling the Fey
Fairies high and Gnomes below,
Leprechauns come and Dwarves do show,
What e'er ye do, where e'er ye be,
I beseech thee now, please come to me.
I mean ye no harm nor any ill will.
Please, Fairies come from out your hill.
I wish to see ye with mine eyes.
Speak only the truth and I'll tell ye no lies.
Fairies, Sprites, what e'er ye be,
Pixie, Elf, or Spirit of tree,
Please come out and bestow me with your presence.
I assure ye, I hold ye in very high reverence.
I would much like to meet thee and know ye by name.
I have love, health and peace, and I wish ye the same.
So, if ye can hear me, please do as I ask
To sit and talk with me can't be too much of a task.
So, if ye be friendly, please answer my call,
and we may be friends in no time at all.

Reading
HP: Here in the woods is a band of some Fairies, singing and dancing at night. They're laughing and drinking, and soon you'll be thinking, that you'd come to join in their rite. If they see you, know they'll entreat you to come and join in their small friendly dance. If you do then your soul will go too; You will lose it with no second chance. But please, come, join, dance in our Circle. Our voices will make your heart yearn, So please, come, join, dance in our Circle, but know that you'll never return.
Workings
HPS: We will be raising energy tonight to charge our balloons in order to send messages to the Fairies, and also to receive any messages. Is everyone familiar with the Spiral Dance? Anyone wishing to participate in the dance please step into the Circle. Those who need to go slow should stand at the front of the line, near Me. Those who enjoy moving fast can stand next to me.

Sending Messages
(Pass out Balloons to group)
HPS: First, we’re going to send our messages to the Fairies. Everyone, take your balloon and blow it up. As you blow up the balloons think about any messages you might want to send to someone else. Breathe your message into the balloon. Think about what you want to say to someone far away, someone that you care about, perhaps someone who has passed away. You can also send any messages of need that you might have, or even messages of something you might want to give away. Blow you messages into the balloons. When you’ve got the balloons as full as they can go, then just hold on to them. Don’t let the air out, and don’t tie the ends.
When everyone is ready, we’ll let the air out of our balloons with as much noise as you want. Don’t let them fly away. Let the message go to the Fey with the noise and the air.
Getting Messages
(Pass out Messages to group)
HPS: Now everyone can receive any messages that the fairies may have for us. Take a Fairy Scroll from the basket for yourself
Blessing of the Cakes and Wine
HP: Ancient Lord, Bless these cakes and infuse them with Your love. May you never hunger
HPS: Bright Lady, Bless this wine and infuse it with Your love. May you never thirst.
Releasing the Quarters
(All Quarter Fey turn to face outward at your quarter)
All together: Incense burn and Flames ignite, Moisture forms and Life comes forth, spirits soar, chant the quarters down. This Circle's open among our friends.
HPS: Lord, Lady and all you wee ones, Thank you for sharing your energies tonight and witnessing our rite. Please stay if you will...Go if you must…Know that you are always welcome in our lives. This circle is open but unbroken, Merry Meet and Merry part and Merry Meet Again.
