A four leaf clover crushed and put into an ointment may give one sight of the Faeries as well as placing Faerie Ointment on the eyelids.
Bending over and looking backwards through your legs.
Looking through a Fir knot hole.
Looking through a loop made with a Rowan twig may cause Faerie sight.
Looking through a hag stone.
Meditating on a daily basis.
Averting one’s vision.
Dawn, moon, dusk, and midnight are the best times for faerie sightings.
Believe – faeries will most likely not show themselves to non-believers.
Have good intention – faeries can sense it.
Looking for a long time without blinking.
wearing ones coat inside out doesn’t allow you to see them, it prevents them from seeing you.
id also just like to remind anyone who sees this that the good men of the hills can be extremely dangerous, and you shouldn’t just go seeking them out willy nilly. be careful.
before looking for them, make sure you have wards protecting your home. make a witch’s bottle if you feel so inclined. some good wards are sweetgum balls/witch burrs dipped in red wax and nailed above a front door, an iron nail dipped in angelica oil and nailed into a door you want to keep spirits out of, a witch’s ladder with ribs and feathers woven in and a bag of protective herbs at the end, salt on windowsills, and red string rowan charms around where you sleep.
always carry some iron and/or salt in a black bag (so they can’t sense the energy from it), so you can open the bag and throw some at them if you need to. once you’ve revealed that you have it, there’s no turning back. if they see it, you must use it before they can attack you. once they’re dispersed, flip your coat inside out (see above) and get back to your warded house as quickly as possible. don’t take any unfamiliar routes and if you hear anyone saying your name DO NOT turn around. just keep running/walking briskly until you’re safe inside. cover up the mirrors in your house at night.
keep calendula/marigold powder (same plant) in a different bag. it diffuses any evil magic done in its vicinity and fosters positive energy.
in addition to all this, if you’re planning on making contact, bring gifts! dont let them know you have “weapons.” give them cream, or pastries, or jewellery. try to foster good relations before immediately using the charms you’ve brought with you.
