The Faery Godmother

The Faery Godmother is the faery who brings her special gifts to the newborn. She holds a golden apple from the magical Isle of Avalon. This glowing fruit of immortality and fertile creativity radiates the rich, penetrating warmth of the summer sun. She also brings us the apple's compliment: a crystal of pure moonlight to stimulate clear thinking. With these gifts of the heart, of sun and moon, of male and female in balance, she asks us to place our lives in balance and to fulfill our true purpose. The crescent moon she wears is a symbol of her power. It is a cradle holding the sacred seeds of our future-and also a boat in which we can safely sail through the storms of life. Her dazzling halo is made the bright sparks of faery consciousness. These sparks form a mystical constellation, mapping out our destiny; these are the lucky stars we must remember to guide ourselves and to thank. Leaving us, she transforms herself into an owl, a bird of wisdom and farsightedness. When times are dark, she will fly back again to be the good mother each of us needs, nurturing our spiritual well-being. This is where the story of the Meeps come into play. The Faery Godmother's special gift to all who believe.........
