Faeries
"Over hill, over dale,
Thorough bush, thorough brier,
Over park, over pale,
Thorough flood, thorough fire,
I do wander every where,
Swifter than the moon's sphere;
And I serve the Fairy Queen,
To dew her orbs upon the green.
The cowslips tall her pensioners be;
In their gold coats spots you see;
Those be rubies, fairy favours,
In those freckles live their savours.
I must go seek some dewdrops here,
And hang a pearl in every cowslip's ear.
Farewell, thou lob of spirits; I'll be gone.
Our Queen and all her elves come here anon."
From Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream
Faeries and the Moon
The Ice Moon (February)- House Faeries
The Growing Moon (April)- Plant Faeries

When the first baby laughed
For the first time,
The laugh broke into a thousand pieces
And they all went skipping about,
And that was the beginning of faeries.
Sir James Matthews Barrie, Peter Pan
