Put your fairy house outside to where moonlight can reach it. Then surround it with plants that are said to attract faeries. After wait till the sun is almost set and call out both mentally and physically "I welcome my good neigh boors with a house to stay in and a gift of milk." After turn off all lights that can shine on the fairy house and lay out a saucer of milk. I can't stress this enough though call them the good neighbors not faeries, in lore it is said they punished those that called them such.

If you have already built a fairy house, put a small, sparkley gift inside, and then leave it alone for a while. Invite them in, out loud.

But BE CAREFUL! It's much easier to invite fairies than it is to get rid of them. Many fairies are mischievous, and can cause a LOT of trouble. Very few of them are capable of causing any real harm, but you may find that a lot of stuff gets broken or goes missing around them.

And BE POLITE. Talk to them respectfully--like you would to a respected grandparent or aunt or uncle. Don't make fun of them, and however amusing you find them, don't laugh AT them. If they do something nice for you--like finding something you've lost--make sure to put a little honey or something else sweet in the fairy house as a thank-you present.

Write them a little note, and leave space on the paper, and a small pen for them to write back. Collect some small doll furniture, like chairs, a bed, a couch, any kind of furniture. Then clear out a drawer. Put the furniture, the note, and the pen (or pencil) in the drawer. Leave it open over night. One wrote me back when I was younger, hope it works for you! Ps: you wont be able to see it, but it will most likley write back.

Invite them to come over and be really polite. Put honey in a conteiner and place it in the fairy house.

The fae are unpredictable, and even though you want very much to see them, they may or may not "appear" just because you wish it. So, rather than putting all your hope into seeing them, consider such sights a "bonus" to your relationship with them.

Some things you can do to increase your chances of seeing them include setting out sweet treats, such as milk, honey, or soda pop (though I don't recommend the last, it's no better for them than it is for us!). They also like shiny trinkets, so lay out polished gemstones, or silver or gold-colored jewelry (this can be costume jewelry, it *doesn't* have to be your expensive heirloom prizes, but they need to be shiny and sparkly!). They also are drawn to windchimes, and garden water fountains. Some plants they are especially enamored of include blackberry, catnip (faeries and cats go together, lol!), carnation, chamomile, clover, dandelion (faeries LOVE dandelion wine, but you can also drink dandelion tea if you're underage ;) ), heather, hollyhock, honeysuckle, iris, jasmine, lavender, lilac, marigold, marjoram, meadowsweet, milkweed, mint, mistletoe, pansy, passion flower, peony, rose, rosemary (which is also called elfleaf), saffron, sage, sunflower, thyme, vervain and violet. Certain trees that will attract faeries (especially tree dryads and wights) include alder, almond, apple, apricot, ash, bay laurel, beech, birch, cedar, cherry, dogwood, elder, elm, hawthorn, hazel, holly, oak, orange, peach, pear, pine, reed, rowan, spruce, white poplar (aspen), willow and yew. Thus, if you have any one of these trees in your yard, you could place your faerie house under it, plant some of the aforementioned plants around, hang some windchimes from the tree branches, and hang and scatter on the ground some of the trinkets/gemstones.

The main thing is to be creative, to create an atmosphere of "mystery" but also of "safety" around the faerie house, and the fae will be intrigued and may eventually feel safe enough to "show" themselves to you, if you consistently indicate to them that you intend to work with them and not against them. ;) it is especially important to realize that you can observe the area, and you will begin to notice little things that occur, that you have no way of explaning "rationally", and you can, if you wish, give the fae credit for these "events", even if you haven't seen them yet. ;)

Consequently... bluebells and daisies especially are said to help one see faeries, especially if one makes wreaths of them to wear on Beltane Eve, so next year at Beltane, you might try that. ;)

Having tried all this though may still not be enough... sometimes, we try so hard to *see* them that we are hyper-vigilant in our visual senses... and the best way to see anything from the Otherworlds is to soften the gaze, not sharpen it. Hence, learn to sit quietly and allow your sight to "go fuzzy around the edges"... doing so at dawn and/or dusk, optimal times of "fuzzy edges", will help you gain proficiency at this trick. Don't despare if you don't get immediate results... I played with the fae when I was very young, but lost my ability to see them when I was told it was "just imaginary"... and did not regain this ability until I was 40 (just two years ago). Trust that you can, and one day you will. ;)

Faeries like tea leaves. Put some tea leaves in your faerie house. (not tea bags)
On the next full moon, run around your faerie house naked 7 times while chanting, " Tea time, faeries, tea time, faeries, tea time faeries." over and over. If it does not work the first time, repeat as often as needed. Good luck.
