also I get the idea that Brownies appreciate grateful people in general, as long as the thanks is for the general situation, not them.

I don't know about elves and thanks, but I generally avoid saying thanks to them and it seems to work.

The response:
"If you reward them or give them an offering they will vanish forever is while they are alive" since they are spirit companions it ok they will not leave you.
Ah.

I agree! I have already listed that I do not want a fairy down in my account notes in the case of mystery surprise or reverse adoptions because I remember reading something somewhere before about not being able to say thank you.. Looks like I need to add brownies too..

It's definitely a thing in Brownie lore, as explained very well in the posts above in this thread...but it's generally not the same thing with all fairies and elves.

Going by what the seller says is the best thing to do with conjured and bound spirits, imo. If they don't warn against saying please or thank you, then I think it's probably not an issue. I gather it may be an issue with living Seelie or Unseelie Court Fae and some Sidhe,

I have quite a lot of elves spirit companions and fairies, who are neither Seelie or Sidhe, and it does not seem to be a problem with any of them.

On top of that, CH advice I've read is that dark arts companions really appreciate having gratitude for their companionship, support and help shown to them. (But maybe not Unseelie Court!) I think this was in the CH DA guidance book.

A brownie was one of my first 2 spirits. I feel on the almost accidentally thanking, it can take a bit of work to go around like giving an offering to one spirit then asking them to share with her as gratitude to also get around the whole offerings issue as well as the thank you thing.

I just go around being vocally glad about how things worked out. I don't worry about offerings, though sometimes I'm forgetful and accidentally leave a bowl of ice cream out.

It's gotten a lot easier.

I get told often that I don't need to say the p or t words by some in my keep. I'm now wondering if that was a warning ⚠️ 🤔 I have difficulty not being thankful. I guess it's not a good idea for me to get a brownie, at least not yet.
