Spell: Offerings to the Hogboon

Color of the Day
Incense of the Day
 
My Scottish family lore includes tales of the Hogboon: mound-dwelling fairy folk who lived in Scotland and were particularly active around farmsteads. Like any fae, Hogboons could be mischievous and, if disrespected or displeased, potentially dangerous- or at least rowdy. Conversely, if appeased and honored, they became strong allies, protecting their (and your) home turf against unwelcome visitors and favoring good fortune.

The legends suggest putting out bits of cloth (natural fibers!) and food. A small plate of goodies was shared from every feast meal, and bits of butter, porridge, or cream were left out on non-holidays. Occasionally, a bright red or shiny trinket would be offered.

To work with your own fairy folk, nature spirits, or other local dwellers, leave small offerings, always in the same place and at or near the same times. As you do, speak aloud to the folk and thank them for their role in keeping your grounds safe and secure.
