Faery Folk (continued)
Fair day, all. I will continue the discussion of Faery Folk.
Generally, Faeries are placed in two specific catagories; those who determine the fate and destiny of humans, and those who hold dominion over birth, fertility, love, animals and botanicals. Both types are said to be involved with the transition between life and death of their charges. Hence, 'tis understandable that all living things play a part in things of a religious nature.
Birth-spirit Faeries (Fatit)are those whom we know as the Fates (those which bestow a newborn's destiny). Nature-spirit Faeries are those who hold dominion over wild nature and are divided into two catogories, Trooping Faeries and Solitary Faeries. Trooping Faeries live in sophisticated societies much like ours and 'tis said they leave their homes at least once a year; traveling in procession for a specific purpose. Solitary is misleading for the fact that many of this race live in packs. Solitary refers to the fact that they lead a simple existence in forests and water and they do no' troop, for they stay to themselves.
Dryads (Greek origins) are female spirits of the woodlands; guardians of trees, forests, and groves. They are said to make their homes in trees. Myth has it that to see a Dryad is unlucky for, so say, they only make themselves visible when displeased and mean to deliver disciplinary measures to those who would harm their domain. Notably, 'tis the Dryads so often romanticized in fantasy novels which bespeak of the Woodland nymphs. According to my sources, Dryads inhabit modern-day society when they choose to, which lends credence to the fact that as the world evolves, so do other Kinds evolve with the times.
Elves (Teutonic origins) are mistakenly thought to be a race of Faery. But 'tis no' the case, as they are a race unto themselves. They figure prominently in childrens' tales and are often portrayed as minature Beings; particularly, as Santa's helpers. In truth, Elves present in every shape and size (like humans). They have their own kingdom that directly parallels human societies and some are benevolent while others are hostile. They freely move about in modern society (changing times) and make use of any amenity, as we do, to better their existence. Certainly, they have the ability to amass great fortunes (they are highly intelligent), appear and reappear (they are spirits), and live according to their own code. Some are wont to avail themselves of Human-Kind and 'tis a known fact that Elfin children are born of those associations. 'Tis rare, those children, but they have distinguishing characteristics that set them apart from their fully human counterparts. Those children are tiny, have pointed ears, sweet countenances, and are extremely intelligent; well beyond their age. Sadly, they do no' survive to adulthood (rarely past toddler stage) and 'tis thought that is so because Elvin and Human genetics are no' compatible. To meet an Elvin-Human child is a most delightful experience (aye, and I have) for 'tis to come away with a sense of beauty and innocence that transcends any other.
Lauma (Lithuanian origins) can be seen (if they choose to be seen) near clear springs at night and spinning beneath the moon. 'Tis thought their activities link the worlds of Fatit and that of the Nature-Spirit race. Myth has it that Lauma were guardians of the poor and protectors of orphaned children but at this writing, I have been unable to verify the legendary belief. But 'twould be wonderful to confirm such a legend, non?
I will stop there for today and have Kaithlin address some of your e-mail. Blessed May You Be.
Bonjour, mes amies. 'Tis a rather bleak, cold day in the South, this morning. However, I will no' complain, as some of our sister states are experiencing much worse conditions and I am too thankful that I am no' trudging through snow and ice! Brrrr! Some of us Southerners much prefer the languid heat and humidity common to our area the major part of the year. Alas... Well, on to business:
To Antoinette in Italy: Aye, your country's history is rich in lore, and I am aware that Italians are fiercely passionate about their myths and legends. I am also aware of the many Covens of Witches that reside there; in fact, have had some pleasant dealings with one of those. Italians are most warm and welcoming and the Coven greeted me with their wonderful brand of friendship. I thank you for your offer to speak at your Coven's gathering this month but due to the recent hurricane damage we incurred, my time is limited. Mayhap in the future? Blessed May You Be.
To Jacie in Arkansas: The line between White and Black Majic is oft blurred to one who has little knowledge of either practice. 'Tis best to seek other avenues, for Outsiders who dabble in the unknown can easily find themselves in over their heads. Unless you know a reputable practicioner of the White Arts who can ascertain whether or no' your 'friend' is whom he claims to be, 'twould be folly to take him at his word. Follow your instincts and Blessed May You Be.
To Marrissa in New York: She is your child and therefore your responsibility. A fifteen year old has no business hanging out at such places for those are dangerous in the extreme. Role playing can and oft does progress into the dark realm where children are lured for evil purposes. 'Tis your duty to parent and no' to try and be her friend. Both of you should steer clear of Vampyre haunts lest you stumble upon the real thing. Blessed May You Be.
To Michael in Florida: We all have much to give thanks for this Thanksgiving. Look forward, no' back for the true path lies before you and what is behind is done. Salvage what you can of your life and leave her to go her own way. 'Tis her choice to make and if in the making she stumbles and falls, you can no' be held responsible. Make haste, for life is short. Blessed May You Be.
To Jeb in Louisiana: 'Tis no' your task to retrieve it. Leave the owner to that, for mayhap 'tis meant to be. Something of that nature is dangerous to the inexperienced and requires a knowledgeable individual to handle it. What you have described leads me to believe it belongs to one who is Warlock, and more than likely 'twas placed there for a specific purpose. Stay away and do no' interfere. Blessed May You Be.
To David in Indiana: The choice is yours. Take care to choose the right path. Blessed May You Be.
