Geocache Description:

This is from my series 'Realm of The Fae'.

Welcome to The Wind Spirits

If you believe perhaps you will get a glimpse of 1 of the many Air Fae who live here in The Realm of The Air.

To all Fae bearing wings air is the element of choice. Every storm & breath of wind is their work from the tiniest puff to the most terrifying gale. They often take the shape of birds or incorporate aspects of their design into their human forms but are particularly fond of bird wings & feathers & sometimes teach human speech to the birds.

Fae who fly are the most evolved of the Fae, having incorporated all aspects of the 4 elements. Wings are symbolic of air, legs of the earth, their shimmering qualities of fire & their shape shifting ability represents the fluidity of water. Added to these is a 5th ‘magical’ element, the moonlight.

As you stand & feel the wind brush against your skin & give your mind over to the wonders of it you may briefly glimpse 1 of those that embrace the winds as their medium. If you are unsure maybe a little information of what you might see will help.

Sylphs also known as wind singers are air spirits. As a whole this miniature race is very beautiful. They are also very long lived reaching hundreds of years in age yet they never seem to become old. Like other elementals they possess the ability to shape shift & may even assume human form.

Kind of nature they are most helpful with wishes involving air though they will assist with any positive desire.

Pookas are also shape shifters & may take a partial human form with the head of a goat, pig or dog. They will even take the form of an eagle at times.

Pookas are pranksters & may appear to the weary traveler as an inquisitive bird or a docile horse. Though in appearance they may resemble the Kelpies as a sleek back horse with flowing mane & luminescent golden eyes their intent is not to kill but to just play jokes on humans. They will entice a stranger to become comfortable on their backs & then they will take the hapless rider on a wild ride across the wettest & most loamy countryside before depositing them in a ditch or tossing them into the mire.

Though Pookas are mostly harmless because of their adoration of small children they are always looking for 1 they can steal. They also have the power of speech & will give advice & can lead people away from real danger. They are considered benevolent, unlike the Kelpies which look to destroy humans.

Fachan or Peg Leg Jack as they are sometimes called because of 1 leg, also only have 1 of each of its other features as well. They have 1 head, 1 eye, 1 leg, 1 toe, 1 arm & so forth which are perfectly centered on its ugly little body. Its coloring is pitch black except for a dark blue mane of feathers which ruffle as a prelude to an attack.

Fearsome in appearance the mere sight of a Fachan has scared people to death. They are particularly spiteful & most jealous of the gift of flight which it was denied despite its feathers. It is a nasty creature & will usually stay in higher hidden locations but then who would want to see him anyway....

With little to fear you will now be able to take in the breezes & though you must still be mindful of the possible rare sighting of the nasty Fae, can embrace the spirit of the air here at The Winds Spirit, Realm of The Fae.
