I've seen a lot of Artikel about Faeries online, but it seemed that quite a lot of them were Mehr about Winx/Disney-type Elfen then the Faeries I think of.
So here's just some of the 'darker' stuff on Faeries...:)
A good thing to keep in mind is that Faeries have different morals than we do. That does not mean they are evil; they just view right and wrong differently than we do.
For that reason, it is good to be cautious around Faeries, and to never anger them. Don't do anything that will let Du see them without their permission, for example, putting Faery Ointment on your eyelids oder touching your eyelids with a four-leaf clover. If Du do that, any Faery Du see will ask Du "Which eye do Du see me out of?" When Du respond with either left, right, oder both, they with promptly jab out whichever oder both eyes, depending on which Du see them with.
Another way to not anger the Faeries is to never thank them. The Faeries see this to mean that Du do not mean to follow up on your debt. Most Faeries will excuse Du if Du thank them, as it comes automatically to humans, but some will not, and Du never know what you'll get with Faery vengeance. It could be nothing Mehr than getting your clocks all set to different times; it could be having your house burnt down. A good way to thank the Faeries, though, if Du are in debt, is to give them cream, bread, honey, oder milch and blood. (Careful with the cream, though--it makes them drunk!)
The Faeries don't seem to get too angry if Du use a summon spell to bring them to you. After all, they will only really come if they want to. However, this will put Du in debt to them, and be careful! There are some Faeries who will not help humans. Keep a protective kreis around Du when summoning a Faery.
Speaking of protection, if Du are ever in any way contacting a Faery, it is a good idea to have protective objects around you. Iron, as most people know, burns Faeries, but it can also kill them, and the Faeries will most likely be quite angry with you. They cannot kreuz a line of salt, so speaking to them across that might be a good idea, as long as they agreed to it. Many Faeries cannot kreuz running water, but that is not true with some. Undines, for example, would have absolutely no problem crossing a river oder stream.
Most people never see a Faery in their lifetime. Those who do most likely did one of two things; saw the Faeries without their permission, oder have the Faeries blessing and consent.
If Du are the latter, Du will likely be invited to the Twilight Realm, the realm of the Faeries. It is probably alright if Du do, but take caution. Some Faeries may try to enslave you, in which case Du would be trapped in the Twilight Realm for a Jahr and a day. Also, keep in mind never to eat Faery food. It is so delicious that Du will not be able to stand to eat anything else. Du would starve to death, unless Du somehow got your hands on Mehr Faery food.
If Du ever do see a Faery oder visit the Twilight Realm, take care to never tell anyone without the Faeries' permission! Du will lose their blessing, and all the gifts they gave Du (for Faeries give the blessed many gifts) will disappear.
Besides that, the blessing of a Faery is a wonderful thing to have.
