  SPEAKER_01: Welcome to the Mystic Spiral,
• 0:13
  SPEAKER_01: the podcast where earth-rooted magic,
• 0:16
  SPEAKER_01: animal wisdom,
• 0:17
  SPEAKER_01: and ancient enchantment twist together like a serpent and a snail in the moss.
• 0:23
  SPEAKER_01: Join us as we explore the unseen, the intuitive, and the beautifully strange.
• 0:31
  SPEAKER_00: Each episode invites you deeper into the spiral,
• 0:34
  SPEAKER_00: into the myth, and into the wild magic that lives within and
• 0:37
  SPEAKER_01: around all of us.
• 0:41
  SPEAKER_01: Hi, I'm Lauren,
• 0:43
  SPEAKER_01: crystal healer, earth-rooted mystic, and friend of snails and mossy feyfolk magic.
• 0:49
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm Laura, animal communicator, serpent kinfwana witch, and solitary social practitioner.
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_01: Hey, mythlings!
• 1:08
  SPEAKER_01: Welcome back to the Mystic Spiral.
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_01: Today we'll be stepping into one of my favorite realms,
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_01: fairy magic, fae guides, and the luminous language of light codes.
• 1:19
  SPEAKER_00: Please remember that if any questions should arise during this episode,
• 1:22
  SPEAKER_00: you can email them to us at mysticspiralpodcast at gmail.com
• 1:27
  SPEAKER_00: and we will address them in our next Q&A episode.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_00: So Lauren, when you say fairy magic, what do you actually mean?
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_00: Because people hear that and think everything from Tinkerbell
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_00: to terrifying Victorian changeling lore.
• 1:50
  SPEAKER_01: So fairy magic to me is the felt sense of the world being alive.
• 1:55
  SPEAKER_01: It's relational magic.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_01: It's the shimmer that appears when you slow down enough to notice the intelligence
• 2:01
  SPEAKER_01: in moss, in wind, in the way a crow tilts its head at you like it knows something.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_01: It's not about summoning or controlling.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_01: It's about listening.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_00: Fairy magic is a conversation with the land and the beings who inhabit the liminal spaces.
• 2:17
  SPEAKER_00: The thresholds, the in-betweens, the places where the veil feels thin.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_00: And it's also playful, trickstery, curious.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, absolutely.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_01: The fae love curiosity.
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_01: They love when you approach with wonder instead of expectation.
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_01: Fairy magic is the art of being enchanted on purpose.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_00: Let's talk about honoring the Fae because this is where people get tangled.
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, the Fae are not all love and light.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_01: They're not human.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_01: They have their own cultures, their own etiquettes, their own boundaries.
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_01: So honoring them is about respect, not worship.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_01: Here are some ways to honor them.
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_01: These are imitations, not rules.
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_01: Offerings of beauty, like wildflowers, shiny stones, a song, a poem, whispered into the wind.
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_01: Tending to the land.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_01: By picking up trash, planting native species, caring for water.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_01: Keeping your word, the Fae value integrity.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_01: Not taking what isn't yours, especially in the woods.
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_01: Approaching with curiosity instead of demanding.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_00: I've heard that you should not put iron in their spaces.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_00: Is this true?
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_01: Avoid iron in Fae dedicated spaces.
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_01: It's traditionally disruptive to their energy,
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_01: but if you want to keep them from messing with your electronics,
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_01: a little cast iron pan near your computer is the way to go.
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_00: Is that why you keep a cast iron pan near the checkout at groundings?
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_01: It sure is.
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_01: That cast iron also keeps any kind of spirit activity from messing with electronics.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_01: Unfortunately,
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_01: it doesn't help with mercury retrograde,
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_01: but that's where our crystal friends Shungite and Polychrome Jasper can be
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_01: a big help.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_00: We can get lost in that topic, so we'll have to save that for another day.
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_00: So back to the fae.
• 4:02
  SPEAKER_00: I also love the idea of reciprocity.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_00: If you ask for guidance,
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_00: offer something in return,
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_00: even if it's just gratitude or a promise to do something kind for the land.
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_01: The fae respond to sincerity, creativity, and respect.
• 4:17
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, Lauren, this is one of my favorite things you do.
• 4:19
  SPEAKER_00: Can you talk about how you connect people with their fairy guides?
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_01: So everyone has guides and some people have fey guides specifically.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_01: These beings show up in my intuitive field like living archetypes.
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_01: Part energy, part symbol, mostly big personality though.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_01: When I tune in,
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_01: I see their form,
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_01: maybe humanoid, maybe creature coded, maybe something more elemental.
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_01: Their colors, which often correspond to their purpose.
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_01: Texture, mossy, watery, sparkly, shadowy, crystalline.
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_01: And then their message, usually symbolic, sometimes direct.
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_00: And you describe them so vividly.
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_00: People always say, oh wow, that feels like someone I've known forever.
• 5:07
  SPEAKER_01: It's true.
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_01: Fae guides often feel very familiar,
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_01: like, you know, a childhood imaginary friend who wasn't imaginary at all.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_00: When you helped me meet my fairy guide,
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_00: it was definitely sort of a magical and childlike feeling.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_00: And Hawthorne felt like someone who had been there the whole time.
• 5:23
  SPEAKER_00: I just hadn't seen her yet.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_00: And then the more vividly you described her, the more sense she made for me specifically.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I feel like all those little tiny details really help paint the picture of
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_01: who they are,
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_01: what they're there to help you with,
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_01: and, you know, what could be going on in your life in that moment.
• 5:40
  SPEAKER_01: So adding in,
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_01: letting them show me those details,
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_01: like Hawthorne had,
• 5:46
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_01: the little war paint under her eyes and she had A little acorn cap,
• 5:51
  SPEAKER_01: like kind of like helmet thing.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_01: And she was like ready for battle.
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_01: But then like also she was so chill and had, you know, blue jeans and a peasant shirt.
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_01: And, you know, it's like kind of that duality of both worlds existing in the same time.
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_01: It's always so interesting to see how they present themselves and how they come forward.
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_01: Each individual fae folk is always so unique and different.
• 6:16
  SPEAKER_01: But we could talk about that for hours.
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_01: So let's move on.
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_00: Let's talk about light codes because this is where your magic gets extra sparkly.
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_00: And you have sparkly markers specifically for this right in front of you.
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_01: You have to have sparkly markers for this.
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_01: So the light codes are like living sigils.
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_01: They're symbolic transmissions, shapes, colors, patterns that carry meaning beyond language.
• 6:38
  SPEAKER_01: When I do a fairy light code reading, I'm receiving.
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_01: And that receiving could be a symbol, a feeling, a frequency, a A message encoded in imagery.
• 6:49
  SPEAKER_01: It's like the Fae are handing me a tiny glowing glyph that says,
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_01: here, this is what they need right now.
• 6:56
  SPEAKER_00: And people feel it.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_00: Even if they don't understand it mentally, their body gets it.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_01: Light codes bypass the mind and they speak directly to the intuitive self.
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_00: Beside the light code being a message, can they also be used like a sigil?
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_01: Absolutely.
• 7:11
  SPEAKER_01: You can charge your light code with intention.
• 7:13
  SPEAKER_01: It can become your personal emblem or symbol.
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, let's ground this a little.
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_00: How can people bring fairy magic into their daily lives?
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, in so many ways.
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_01: Take a walk.
• 7:24
  SPEAKER_01: Walk slowly.
• 7:25
  SPEAKER_01: Let the world reveal itself to you.
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_01: You can talk to plants.
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_01: I promise you, they are listening.
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_01: Follow the glimmer.
• 7:33
  SPEAKER_01: And when I say that, I mean anything that sparks joy within you.
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_01: Create tiny altars, a leaf, a stone, a feather.
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_01: Listen to your intuition.
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_01: That's often how the fae speaks.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_00: And I'll add, don't force it.
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_00: Fairy magic arrives when you're open to it, not when you're trying to pry the door open.
• 7:53
  SPEAKER_01: It's very true.
• 7:53
  SPEAKER_01: The fae love consent and curiosity.
• 7:56
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, Lauren, I'm feeling the shimmer.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_00: Would you like to do a light code reading for the collective and see what comes through?
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_00: Ooh, sure.
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_00: Let's tap into that and open the field.
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_01: So I'm seeing a spiral of soft sage green light.
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_01: Like new leaves unfurling.
• 8:20
  SPEAKER_01: It's shaped almost like a curled fern or a fiddlehead, but it's glowing from within.
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_01: This light code carries the message of gentle emergence.
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_01: The Fae are saying, you do not need to rush your blooming.
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_01: The world is ready when you are.
• 8:49
  SPEAKER_01: Unfurl at your own pace.
• 8:53
  SPEAKER_01: I'm also seeing tiny little peridot dots around the spiral.
• 9:00
  SPEAKER_01: They feel like firefly sparks.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_01: They represent moments of unexpected joy that will guide the way.
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_00: That feels so tender.
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_00: Like permission to grow slowly.
• 9:13
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 9:13
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_01: The Fae are reminding us that growth doesn't have to be dramatic.
• 9:19
  SPEAKER_01: It can be soft, snail-paced, and steady.
• 9:23
  SPEAKER_00: Is there anything else coming through?
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_01: Trust the small yeses.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_01: Not the big leaps,
• 9:31
  SPEAKER_01: not the grand gestures,
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_01: but the tiny yeses that feel like a warm spark of light coming from your core.
• 9:40
  SPEAKER_00: This was such a beautiful journey.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_00: Fairy magic is so much more than aesthetics.
• 9:45
  SPEAKER_00: It's relationship, reciprocity, and wonder.
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, and it's available to anyone who approaches them with respect and curiosity.
• 9:54
  SPEAKER_00: If you want to explore your own fairy guide or receive
• 9:57
  SPEAKER_00: a personal light code reading, Lauren does this work so beautifully.
• 10:01
  SPEAKER_01: Thank you, and thank you all for joining us today and connecting with the fairy realm.
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_00: Before we leave today, we're going to pull a card.
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_00: Today we were called to use the Pocket Oracle of the Fairies by Karen Kay.
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_00: As a friendly reminder, take what resonates with you and leave the rest.
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_01: All right, let's get to shuffling.
• 10:56
  SPEAKER_01: I got fairy spotting and she's got like...
• 11:01
  SPEAKER_00: I can't believe you pulled that card.
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_01: Isn't that funny?
• 11:04
  SPEAKER_01: It's like a little girl and she's like holding her hand out and there's
• 11:09
  SPEAKER_01: a little fairy... Coming out of a bush.
• 11:13
  SPEAKER_01: Coming out of a bush.
• 11:15
  SPEAKER_01: The shrubbery?
• 11:18
  SPEAKER_01: Coming out the shrubbery.
• 11:21
  SPEAKER_01: So let's see what this has to say to us today.
• 11:26
  SPEAKER_01: So the message says, it's time to go fairy spotting.
• 11:31
  SPEAKER_01: It's said that seeing is believing.
• 11:33
  SPEAKER_01: But in fact, the opposite is true.
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_01: Believing is seeing.
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_01: So for you out there who maybe haven't seen a fairy
• 11:46
  SPEAKER_01: or maybe this is your first time thinking about Fae,
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_01: maybe it is time to go out in the woods and see if somebody pops out for you.
• 11:55
  SPEAKER_00: Worst case scenario, you get some vitamin D and some time with nature.
• 11:59
  SPEAKER_01: That's very true.
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_01: Thank you all for walking the spiral with us today.
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_00: And next Wednesday in the Mystic Spiral, we'll be exploring earth, air, fire, water, and spirit.
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_00: The five threads that weave magic body and the world together.
• 12:15
  SPEAKER_01: Until then, mythlings, keep listening and keep your magic soft and steady.
• 12:20
  SPEAKER_01: Bye for now.
