Now that Persephone has opened the door to the Underworld and returned to the land of the living, the first faerie den of the season has finally opened. I found an area without much snow, and that seemed odd to me and prompted me to look closer. They’ve unsealed the cavern, as you can see, and cleared a good bit of the snow away.
This is an advanced patrol that will make inspections, only. Dens in the area will be marked, and the snow
depth will be calculated. Those who are
to help with the melting of the snow and the falling rain will be cleared for
emergence first. Now that I have passed
a year’s worth of recording the activities in the woods around here, I am
fairly confident of how things work with the Good Folk, having been through
this many times before and now having a written record. As you can imagine, there’s a great deal of
work to be done.

| The first faerie den of spring has opened. |
First and foremost will be the melting of the snow and
clearing of the forests of any animals that have succumbed to the dark part of
the year and the Unseelie Court. The Microbial Kingdom will be employed for this task. Severe rain should follow afterward so that
the fields can be washed and made fresh again.
Fallen debris will be cleared away with the water. Then the Prana will be activated and used on
the seeds and bulbs hidden in the cold and wet ground, waiting. The green is being mixed even now as I write, yellow of sun and blue of water.
Yes, there is a great deal to be done before Mayday arrives,
and not much time in which to do it!
