The Fae are legendary creatures. They are a form of spirit & are often described as metaphysical or super natural. They are also known or called Fairy, Fay, Fey, Fairies’ or collectively, Wee Folk, Good Folk or Fair Folk.
The Fae or Fairies are generally described as human in appearance & having magical powers. Sometimes the term describes any magical creature including goblins or gnomes. At other times, the term only describes a specific type of a more ethereal creature.
Another view is that Fairies are an intelligent species. In Alchemy they are regarded as Elementals.
In the Celtic nations they came to be seen as another race, or possibly spirits, & were believed to live in an Otherworld existing underground, in hidden hills (many of which were ancient burial mounds) or across the Western Sea. They are also associated with several Otherworld Realms such as Tir na n’Og (Land of Youth) & the Isle of Apples – known as Avalon.
The 1 constant is the division of beliefs as to which category the Fairies fall into. Those that only see them as creatures of malice, destruction & evil deeds & those that believe the Fae are just light hearted, happy & full of fun & mischief.
Whichever the choice, it is agreed that there is a special Magic about the Fae & a curiosity that continues to drive people to search for them. Possibly this may just be 1 of the many paths to the Realm of The Fae. Perhaps if you let your imagination roam you will discover & if the spirits are kind you may even get a brief glimpse of these magical creatures. Remember that you must be totally open to what may exist to be allowed the privilege of that vision. Explore, be very careful & Enjoy your journey!
Oh….it may help too if you leave a shiny trinket or 2 or some pretty beads or feathers as the Fae love to adorn themselves with such bobbles when they are festive.
Please also remember that to protect the Safety of the Fae be sure to conceal the entrance to their Gardens from the unfriendlies & non believers.
The cache may be watched over by some of the Fae. If you should see them don't touch them or they will vanish & then the treasures will no longer be safe.
