Often The Fae are around you without you even knowing unless you can see or feel their presence. Almost everybody at some point in their lives has encountered them. Whether it is in nature, when you sit by a tree and suddenly you see a mushroom or a flower. They disguise themselves as bugs and insects and animals. You may have seen a lovely butterfly today, maybe that was them in disguise. They come in a form that you will take well. You can communicate by leaving out sweet foods such as honey, cream, nuts and berries. Anything really. Ask them to come to you in dreams, to your home. Make them feel welcome. Make a sacred space for them. Statues and books about Faeroes also draw them because they know they are then welcome.
Whether or not Fae are the same beings under different names according to the religion or folk belief they are a part of is a matter of belief; but make no mistake, in their original contexts, they had little, if nothing, to do with one another historically. This is why it's misleading to present the information without acknowledging their origins.
I most definitely acknowledge their origins. I am sorry if any of this information I've said is wrong, that is just what I've gathered through the years or researching, and speaking to them. Whether you believe or not is entirely up to you and I acknowledge that they came from different countries, stories, folklore.
The point is that the distinction isn't made clear in the initial post and that can be misleading to any newbies who read it; regardless if you actually make the distinction on a personal level. I'm talking about facts of recorded history, which isn't the same as pushing my views on you or anyone else.
It's fine that you didn't mention it earlier, Fullmoon. Just remember to in the future. :)
Also, I'm very happy that you're making a forum about the fair folk. There isn't a lot of information about them online (save from a painfully inaccurate article I published a while ago) so I'm glad to see more being posted.
Ah yes, thank you so very much. I realised there was much information online about them, I thought this would be a good forum to make. They are underestimated creatures, very much. They can offer so much to somebody! Blessings ~
Everybody has their own opinions on Faeries and Nature spirits etc, I understand that, in the first post I made I was stating my opinion on faeries, not that it was fact. It is a matter of belief. I should have stated that first of all that this is just how I believe they are :)
You literally said you were trying to educate people properly on what faeries really are, emphasis and all. That is stating it as fact, even if you did not intend to do so, as you continued to give absolutely no indication that all of this was simply your opinion.
