as much as I have experience dealing with malicious stuff, I have more experience with the fae! Fae are less mischevous when they're happy. common sense n everything, but if they interact politely its cuz they have everything they need. Â
I used to live by an old lilac tree that they lived in. The tree itself welcomed them and they had very little trouble in their life, even without offerings they did very well. Now that ive moved, and they knew i meant them no harm, they followed me. and things would go missing.Â
I would try both offering a milk n honey solution, and speaking either out loud or with projected thought whatever boundaries you want to set. Example, you can borrow my crystals but these keys are off limits. if they don't listen, don't feed them or, say they're not welcome until they keep to the boundaries. almost all fae types value hospitality, but less value fairness. thankfully the only ones that move your stuff around tend to be sprites, which do value fairness, at leat to a degree. You can reason with them.Â
