THE FAIRY CALL

A spell for summoning the fairies

 

Sit where the cat sits.

Cross your toes.

Close your eyes.

And smell a rose.

Then say under your breath:

"I believe in fairies,

sure as death."

Gadflykins! Gladtrypins!

Gutterpuss and Cass!

Come to me fairly

Each lad and lass!

--from "Lady Cottingley's Pressed Fairy Book"
