in answering Shadow Wolf
Hello Shadow Wolf:
I think if this was me, unless you were to feel being led to give them a specific home before they arrive, I would wait and they mostly will direct your path to what they want after having arrive. There is a lot of post regarding the different items they want (lol, demand) to have for their home and will sometimes months later wish to have something else added. I have several post regarding the demands of mine. One of the things I thought very funny with mine was they didn't want to be back in the box after released from it. I had planned on a bag I had made and ready for them before they arrived and this was not to their liking. A combination that I wouldn't have put together they wanted. The other fabric of the bag I barely had enough, I mean it was without an inch to spare! Their first night .... well I went ahead and cut the fabric out and they were happy to rest laying in between the two main pieces of the fabric.
You will never be the same again. I haven't had direct (known any way) contact with a fae. I have seen them though but it is always from out of the corner of my eye. It all depends, sometimes and more than not, it is a shadow flutter figure that I see the movement of, but at other times it is as if from your side and back beyond your side there is a quick flash flood of light and it too flicks a bit, flutters and is gone if turning directly to it. The light occurences is usually when a dim cast day or after the sun has gone down but it feel much like when the sun comes briefly out from hidding behind clouds. This is not it though, as the light times is when deep within the house and the light isn't coming in the direction of a window. I do believe in other spirit beings, but when I feel it is a faery, there is along with the sighting, a sureness this was/is a fae. For me I am never second guessing, was that a ghost or what? I think this is an impression they deeply put on you to have you aware it is them.
Good luck with your Faes. I have been following your post daily of your experiences. They called to me too and through this forum. Long back this forum was next to one that I read from often. Between the time of the year and the natural call to nature and the constant having to read the name of "The Faeries Oracle" they eventually pulled me into this forum and I was also only a day or so away from having to wait mine to arrive.
