Question of the Week: 73 - 12/31/2001 Do You Believe in Faeries? Faeries, the Good Folk, the Sidhe and many more Otherworld beings of this type populate the folklore and tales of the world. So such beings exist? Did they ever? Are they an archetype, a memory of a long-lost people or simply that thing that we catch out of the corner of our eye? Have you ever had a Fae Encounter? Tell us your favorite 'faery tale' and point us to it if the source is on the net. And don't forget your pixie dust. |

I have had the most honoring confirmation of the faery folk! A few years ago I was sitting back in a desert wash in Arizona where I humbly asked for alittle faery folk communication. I sat there for a while and nothing readily apparent occured. On my way home from my hike I stopped at a book store to buy a book (unrelated to faeries) that I needed. As I was walking out of the store I saw a display of Brian Froud's new book "Good Faeries, Bad Faeries". Being a devout fan of his work I purchased the book. When I returned home I flipped open to the dedication page and the faery featured on the page was holding out her hand in which rested the words "For Wendy". My name is Wendy. As it happens Brian's wife is also Wendy. Albeit, I refuse to accept that it is mere coincidence. This was all the evidence that I would have ever needed to add solidity to my belief! |

Faeries and "mythical beasts" truly exist today. I'm not going to get all into physics and math on this one, but I will say they live in some of the same dimensions we do, but they also occupy dimensions humans ordinarily don't. I think this is why we see them sometimes, then try to focus and lose sight of them. As a child, I was visited my a small japanese dragon. It was an unforgettable experience. I think all the times we see children 'space out', they are just focusing in a way most adults forget. I have seen glimpses of faerie folk, but never actually a clear contact, though I assume dragons sort-of count for this question. Blessed be. |

I'm a cynical Pagan by nature, but my friendship with some leaders in the local Pagan community have tested my 'see it to believe it' mentality. I've never 'seen' the Fae myself, and must admit to some envy to those who have. My friend Cynthia's house has a large backyard which she uses for handfastings, circles, and solstice celebrations. I'm amazed at the photographs of some of these events. The photos show small blurs of light surrounding the people, some of which cast shadows on the people themselves. If it wasn't for the fact that some of these photos were taken in the dead of Oregon winter, I'd chalk them up to insects (and no, it wasn't snowing or rain). We've also visited fairy mounds (with due respect) and during that time I didn't 'see' anything, but sure felt a presence other that human or animal. Especially when more than once something batted at my hair and I heard no insect buzzing. (When insects get caught in _my_ hair there is no escape!) I'm an amatuer naturalist so I do know the difference. My hair has also been accosted a few times I attended outdoor circles where the Fae were addressed. Due to my own spiritual experiences and the ones listed above, I can't rule out the existence of the Fae. If I can get 'zapped' through the forehead while hugging a Giant Sequoia, who am I to say that nature spirits aren't among us? Blessed Be ~ Anigrrl |

Yes, I believe that Faes exsist.To every "fairy tale" their is some form of truth. Think about so many people have said to see them. There are pictures of them. No matter how many people disagree about them, no one can ever prove them not to exsist. Whether the human eyes sees them or not, that still doesn't prove anything. With out assistance from equiptment we can't see germs or cells, does that mean that germs don't exsist? I didn't think so so why wouldn't fairies exsist? They could, and they very likely do |

I believe faeries have always existed. The only encounters that I've had with them has been around what my family lovingly calls the "faerie mound" in our back yard. Every spring the whole hill erupts in many different kinds of plants, and on some nights, especially the solstices, you can see small dots of blue, red, and white light come and go on the mound. I'm not sure if that constitutes a sighting but my children and I and others in our family love to watch the show on warm summer evenings. Blessed Be!! |

Hello, I myself believe in the Fae and was told by an anquantance (spelling) that they sensed that I was half-fae. We are talking about people, human beings who are half fae. Often called having the blood of the fae with-in you. What this m is someone who has created oneness within themselves and thus becomes in harmony with everything around them. we become magick and effect our environment and the people around us without doing anything special, just being themselves. Our harmony starts making things around us move towards harmony. We can connect very easily to other people and our environment. Its a great feeling. Peace to all those that walk the path of Light, Shadow FireRaven Owner of Fellowship Of Shadows http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fellowshipofshadows/ |

Yes, I believe in Fey folk. I have had the opportunity to see them (no, I wasn't stoned at the time!) They helped me find my cat, Morgan La Fey. Morgan is a small solid black cat, about 1 1/2 years old and very stubborn! She decided to stay out until 2:00 a.m. and I asked the Fey to bring her in. In less than a minute she was at my feet wanting to go in the house. From the garden, straight toward me and over my right shoulder flew a beautiful bright light. It went to the fairy circle behind me. The Fairies at my home are always welcome and have many thing to do to help and protect our neighborhood. I am very grateful to them for their help and happiness. |
