The Wish Faeries
Art from the book
Since 2000
Every wish is weighed. Since 2000.
Before a Wish Faerie grants anything, she pauses and asks three quiet questions. Is it kind? Is it the right time? Who will it help? It turns out children love asking them too.
A wish isn't a magic trick here. It's a small decision, made carefully, by a whole garden of faeries who each look after one part of it.
How a wish is weighed
One small wish, a whole ecosystem
Every faerie group has its own job. Together they make sure each wish is thoughtful, balanced and in harmony with the world around it. Three things matter most.
Balance
Is it kind to everything?
Some groups make sure a wish doesn't tip the elements, the oceans or nature out of balance.
- Elemental Envoys
- Druidic Disciples
- Oceanic Oracles
Timing
Is it the right time?
Others wait for the right moon, the right tide, the first light of dawn or the hush of twilight.
- Moonlight Scribes
- Moon Tide Mystics
- Dawn Wanderers
Consequence
Who will it help?
And some look ahead, or back at old wishes, to see where this one might lead.
- Visionary Veil
- Pearl Seers
- Lake Reflectors
