Tales of the old forest faeries Written by Athey Thompson

Tis Upon All Souls’ Day

Let us remember our loved ones who no longer walk with us in this lifetime. Why, today is All Souls’ Day, A day they come home, A day our ancestors return to walk upon the ground that they once called home.

It’s a day to remember them and bless them all. Blessed be, all loving, old souls. We shall honour them today, we shall remember them today, for, May they never be forgotten. 

 

As we listen

So we learn

Why, all the wisdom

From days gone by

Dare not

Be forgot

For, our ancestors voices

May still be heard

Their echoes linger on

Upon the very ground

That we walk

So as we go

Along our life’s path

We must

Remember them

For, they are we

And we are them

If ye put a little candle upon your window sill tonight, let its light be bright, let it shine out so the old souls can see and may it guide them home, to us once more.

Some may lay out an extra plate of food tonight, or a wee sip of dram, so a lost one may return to feast once more. Let’s celebrate them all and raise a glass tonight.

I just came across this artist on Instagram. All of her work is magical. I thought you fairies might want to look too.
