Simple Ways to Nourish Yourself with Nature's Magic

The Courier Fairy - A Fable for Modern Times

 


 

 

Do you believe in fairies? Are they tiny little beneficent beings with wings and long dresses? Or maybe they are wicked beasties who make things go bump in the night. Even better they are human sized and have some dark magic brewing under their skins. 

 

Courier fairies are not like the oldey timey ones.

 

There is one kind of fairy you may not have heard of yet. She’s a zippy little thing on a mission to show the way. A bald fairy?…hell ya, she means business. She’s got a job to do after all. She's out and about picking up and delivering messages. 

Fairy FedEx. 

The service is free but if you are not paying attention or refuse her packages, don’t be surprised if you feel an itty bitty bite on the neck. Was that a mosquito? A black fly? Or was it a reminder jolt from the fairy? Let's call them love bites.

 

Hair would just get in her way.

 

What kind of messages does she carry? 

She is a multitasker, so it could be a message from your own god-self. Now usually it’s the angels who deliver those, but even angels get days off and this little baldy is willing to pinch hit for them.

 

Courier fairies have little in common with angels, as angels don't bite.

 

Mostly though she is a reminder system. She might be reminding you of all the things you know but don’t put into practice. Or it could just be to whisper “Water the plants”. Ignore that one and you’ll find yourself bitten and feeling very thirsty.

One of her favourite messages is to point out something stunning in nature. So there you are driving to work or the grocery store and you are so busy thinking your little thoughts that you miss the incredible sky-scape unfolding in front of you. I mean who doesn’t need a bit of awe in their day?

She is also in charge of unexpected written messages. Like a billboard that seems to say something to you personally. She’ll give you the nudge so you look at up at the right time. 

She may prompt you to open a book at random, pay attention to what is written on that page!

 

The proof is in the pudding

Do you ever think you’ve seen a flash of light out of the corner of your eye? That’ll be her trying to get you to pay attention. I promise that if you stop, look around and listen attentively, there will be something you need to pay attention to. It could be something utterly fantastic like a "turn here" sign that takes you to a coffee shop where you meet the love of your life. But even the less life changing messages are worth listening to. 

For instance, I had the idea of writing all this down for you guys a while ago, but I was busy with other more important things. She really doesn't appreciate procrastination, you should see my neck… I might have ticked her off just a tad. So sharing this today and getting it posted quickly is really an act of self preservation.

I was chatting with my friend Thea* earlier today and we were discussing affirmations to help people with writer’s block. I know exactly what the Courier Fairy would say - “Get off your ass and write some words! C’mon.”

You might think of her as the champion of your intuition. Like spidey-sense, this tough little fairy is single minded in her mission and knows more about you than you could possibly be aware of. So maybe worth listening to huh? 

 

Listen up, she's on her way

 

Who does she work for?

She works for you, but her messages come from the deep blue. The deep blue is the energy field that we live in, that we are made of. She can skip along it’s filaments and listen to the thrum of moving energy, gathering info for your benefit. 

So dude, if you feel tingles in your neck, it’s not cancer, it’s that darned fairy trying to tell you something wonderful.  

 

*Thea is the author of The Charmed Studio Blog, a resource for heart-centered artists. She’s also worth listening to.


 


Psst...

There’s another kind of fairy lurking out there, who’s just waiting for the chance to help artists. She keeps showing up on my Enchanted Journal entries and all over my website. Sheesh! You can find out about her by clicking on her face. Go ahead, she doesn't mind.

Thanks for introducing me to another fairy and The Charmed Studio Blog. Fairies have always spoken to me, water fairies especially. Ok maybe the four leaf clover ones too!

My pleasure Susie, A girl can never know too many fairies. Since you are so tuned into nature, I am sure you are always surrounded. You also reminded me of another fairytale about the water babies. I think I have a digital version, I'll send it to you if I do. I'm also so happy you are checking out The Charmed Studio, Thea is a kindred spirit!

I love your new tea ladies... it's you and Susie! What really moved me in this post was your mentioning of how we overlook the stunning presence of nature out the car window as we rush to Trader Joe's for more toilet paper.....or groceries,etc. Thanks for that reminder. I wanted to ask you when was the first time you ever heard of fairies? In a childhood book or story? And have you ever seen one? ;)

Hey Thea, The funny thing is, Susie and I have done that. When the kids were little, we did a proper tea party, hats and all. I'm not sure when I first heard of fairies, but I remember the first time I saw one. I must have been around 6 years old because it was the tooth fairy. I was in my bed in the dark and I saw a glowing multi-coloured shoe, I shut my eyes tight and didn't move. I was very concerned that if she knew I had spotted her, I wouldn't receive a gift under my pillow. Eventually I fell asleep and I found a shiny coin in the morning. How bout you?
