Do you believe in the faeries?
    #21173133 -

It's a simple question...do you believe in faeries?

I know I do.

Here is "the" great World of Faeries...and in my opinion, it's the best description of the world of faeries I've ever come to know.

I am Dorcha, Epona's wild daughter.  Who are you?

I can't be a fairy because I don't use wings to levitate.

In folklore a faerie is one of a class of supernatural beings, generally conceived as having a tiny human form and possessing magical powers with which they intervene in human affairs. There are over 1000 varieties of faeries throughout legend and lore around the world. Almost every culture has some form of faerie being who interacts with humans. Some cause havoc others protect or help.
     

    The earliest depictions of faeries is reportedly found in Etruscan* art around 600 BC, where paintings display small human formed beings with wings. The Etruscans called these beings Lasa. Some have suggested that faeries don't appear in Celtic lands until after the rise of Christianity. But earlier Celtic lore doesn't support this approach and suggests the faeries were first described around 400 BC as the Celts were exposed to the practices of the Etruscans. Others suggest they can first be found during the Stone Age period (9000-8000BC) in Old Europe's Cult of the Dead. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicles (800 AD) were writings that described, among other things, charms against 'elf-shot'.

     
    The link between faeries and the dead has been a long association. Some suggest fairies were originally the spirits of the deceased. Thus their association with the Cult of the Dead in Old Europe, the tomb paintings of the ancient Mediterranean and in Etruscan art which depicts faeries in the company of a god or goddess. They can also be found in this context as part of the Lare of the Romans. A Lare or Lar in early Roman religions were guardians of an area, place or home. Statues of a Lare figure were often placed upon a table to provide blessings to those who sat around it, or as a place of honor where diners would thank the Lare for the bounty of food. 


    The Celtic Tuatha de Danann have been described as early legends of Celtic faeries. The Tuatha de Danann came out of the mist and arrived in the British Isles. The early Celts were oral traditionalists. It's likely the Tuatha de Danann where talked about in poems and stores long before writings recorded their importance. The Celtic Book of Invasions (The Lebhar Gabhála Éireann) describes the Tuatha de Danann battling the Fir Bolg and defeating them. The Tuatha de Danann were not friends to the Celtic people however. Rather they are described as precursors in the Book of Invasions. They are defined as the 5th group to settle Ireland, conquering the island from the Fir Bolg. 

     
    As the Celts moved into Britain around 600-500BC the Tuatha de Danann moved into the hills and forests to live in secret. This presumably linked the faeries to nature and living in the country lands. The Etruscan faeries are associated with vegetation and the secrets of Nature, again aligning faeries with nature.
     


    The spiritualists of the west tend to focus on faeries of Europe, but they do exist all over the world. they can be found in Japan, China, India and in many shamanistic cultures of Native American Indians, African tribes and Australian Aborigines. For instance, in Japan the Chin-Chin Kobakama are fairy like in appearance. They are generally elderly but are amazingly spry. They are seen as a house faerie and specifically are interested in floors, either natural wood or rugs. They move into a home, provide their protection and assistance as long as the home is kept clean. They are known to tease sloppy children and chase after sloppy housekeepers.

I believe in a variety of otherworldly beings.
I don't call them fairies or fae, I mostly ascribe to Slavic mythology; though I do have Scottish celtic roots.

I've had plenty of direct experiences with them.

Enough so that I don't typically use other people's labels to describe them, unless they are widespread throughout a culture.


But I'm not in Europe, so I just use nice adjectives combined with elegant English to describe my encounters.

I encountered something much like a Leanen Sidhe as a child.
I've told the story several times on here in numerous threads about ghosts.

She wasn't happy when I fell in love for the first time as an adolescent.
I was thrown into the darkest depression I've ever experienced as a result.
Nearly killed myself.

She'd visit me the same time every night.
Eventually I stopped reacting in fear and started sending her a calm understanding love.

She eventually lost interest and left.


Nothing in life is for sure, but these are things that are fun to think about. :shrug:

I said yes, because why not, sounds like fun. I'm actually kinda surprised that an overwhelming majority agrees. Well, not that surprised. It is the Shroomery, after all.

I believe that consciousness fragments and results in fluid, living metadata accessible to applicable users.

It means something but in the end it's just "all in ya head."

There are lots of names for lots of spiritual entities but in the end it's just open ended consciousness over lapping with a basic user error. A glitch of something that's barely real if at all. Like missigno.
