Faerie lore is all around us in nature

Faerie lore is in nature everywhere. Here are some examples- CLOVER: Because fairies do not like to be seen by humans, they disappear in the blink of an eye, but some people believe that a four-leafed clover may prevent this and allow a mortal to see fairies in their invisible state. A four-leafed clover is famous for bringing luck and it gives a person the power to break fairy spells and see through their magic. JASMINE: The jasmine is a symbol of beauty in China and a sacred plant of India and Persia-- Hindus call it the Moonlight of the Grove. The white jasmine is sometimes known as the Star of Divine Hope and is often associated with the purity of the Virgin Mary in Christianity. While the white jasmine is believed to symbolize deep affection, yellow represents grace and elegance. According to folklore for one to dream of jasmine means that a romance is blossoming. A species of fungus called Tremella in East Anglia used to be called "Fairy Butter". In the same area in Britan, a fossilized sea urchin was called fairy loaf. It was believed of you put it on the mantle of your home you would never want for food. Thyme, foxglove, buttercups, and rosemary are planted in gardens to attract the fae.
