Fairy is obliged to cast a money spell and she will do it the way it should be done, in the grace of a new moon. Flying low to the ground in the dense cloud of a dewy dawn down to the bottom of Grandview, she has the good fortune to find a rusty horseshoe on the trail to the waterfall. When she gets home she uses a wire brush to clean the rust out of the nail holes.
In the darkest part of the garden, before the crescent moon rises, she lights a white birthday candle. She takes seven tiny pieces of green paper and writes on each her best wishes for Brynhildr and Troll’s prosperity. She rolls the papers tight and pokes them through each of the holes in the horseshoe.
As the moon rises she carries the candle out into the darkest part of the garden, sits by a rosemary bush and on a separate piece of paper, writes their money wish and burns it there with a sprig of new rosemary over the candle. This must be done in the moonlight too.
She buries the horseshoe under a marigold bed and forgets about it almost at once, which must be done or the spell will be broken. She will do this again under every crescent moon until midsummer.
The faeries believe that if you have to wash your blankets in May, wash them before the moon is waxing or you will wash a dear one away.
Do nothing of this kind of magic for your own needs, or you will wish away a dear one in exchange.
