Faeries That Come to Those That are Ill

I went to my forest today to seek out a special faerie friend of mine.  You see, I have a beautiful young lady that has had a serious operation that was necessary so that she would have a healthy and normal life. My lovely girl is suffering and in pain, so I am here to ask for my Eventide Faerie to go to her. You see, these faeries have the least fear of humans and in fact seek them out. They know when we are ill and come to our aid. They are about three inches in height. They have two sets of wings, dark in color, shorter than those of the water faeries and held close to the body when they rest. They are born with the ability to glow, which becomes stronger as they get older.

Oh, there is the princess, maybe she can help me.

"Good Morning Princess, I was hoping to ask you to let one of  your Eventide Fairies go to my young girls home and help her feel better. She is so sick and needs some encouragement to get better."

"Of course my dear," she said. "Just tell me where she lives and my faeries will go to her."  "I will call them out here now and we can all hear what you have to say together."

Without saying a word, out came three of the most beautiful faeries  I have ever seen. They had long flowing garments that seemed to shimmer in the sunlight and some of them had different color feathers attached to their clothing. I told them all about Angelica and how much I want her to feel better and be happy again. They all listened intently and said that they would go and help her tonight while she slept.  

So Angelica, if you see a small piece of paper lying on the floor it is probably the map they made to find your house and if you see tiny flickering lights it is only the Eventide Faeries come to be with you.  They will stay with you until you are feeling alot better and will try and help you with their presence.  

If you hear a tiny song being song, it is them singing to you. It will sound something like this:

"here, oh where, Are we off to tonight?, Who needs our help?, Who faces a plight?, We'll check our map, And then take flight. To those in need, We'll bear our light."

Angelica, I send you these beautiful faeries to brighten your day  and to help you get well. They are joyful, compassionate, and peaceful and will sprinkle their faerie dust on you to help you get well. 

I love you Angelica, feel better soon.

 

 

 

 

Faeries of the NIght

As I was sitting with my faerie friends in the glen enjoying our conversation I hadn't noticed that it had gotten very dark. With all the light from the faeries wands  it crept up on me so swiftly that when I realized  it was quite late.

One of the faeries I was talking to pointed up to the sky and when I looked up I was in complete awe as I saw two beautiful faeries floating down to the ground on what looked like quarter moons. They weren't moons but silver in color and these faeries had small harps in their hands and they were singing softly. How beautiful they were and all was quiet as they floated down and just hovered there and sang and played. After what seem like a short time but when i looked at my watch it had been an hour they floated back away  up into the sky. The other faeries just smiled and said goodnight  as they drifted off to their resting places.  I was tired to so I went back home and  had the most wonderful dream about faeries floating in the air on silver quarter moons.

Faeries are kisses that escaped

Wandering by the water near the glen I heard a small voice say, "Good Morning."  I turned and saw a beautiful faerie sitting and by her side was a multicolored butterfly. She was smiling at me and I sat down on a big rock that was right by her side.

I asked her if she had a special job like the other faeries had that lived in my glen and she smiled again and said that her job was one of the best ones because she got to catch all the escaped kisses.

I didn't understand her meaning and she saw the puzzled look on my face and started to giggle.

she said,"Sometimes when people are all alone and thinking of a loved one that they miss terribly they  will make a wish that they could see them and kiss and hug them." "These could be kisses from some one that has moved or they haven't seen for awhile, and they will blow them a kiss." "It is my job to collect all these kisses and take them to the people that they were meant for and put the suggestion in their minds who that kiss was from." "Have you ever done this?" "Thought of someone and wished that you could kiss them or hug them but they are too far away for you to do this, and the next moment they will call , or drop in to see you?"  "This is because I have delivered that kiss and hug and made them think of you and your love for them."

I sat there as this beautiful smiling faerie gently stroked the butterflies wings and thought what a wonderful job that had to be. To go from place to place delivering kisses and hugs to all the lonely people and getting them to think of each other. We as humans miss so much that these faeries are able to do with all their heart and love.

I must remember to call my mom and tell her how much I miss her and send her a faerie kiss and hug too.

I smiled and said goodbye and left the faerie singing softly as I walked out of the glen to my home.

Faerie of Wisdom and forgiveness

While strolling in the glen I came upon a faerie that was sitting down with a big book in her lap and she was writing and reading and nodding her head from time to time. Once in awhile she would smile and at other times it seemed that she had a tear in her eye. I was so quiet that she didn't notice me as she was working so hard with her book. It had to be twice the size of her and I wondered how she carried it, but being a faerie I bet she didn't have any problems at all.

I just stood there and looked at this beautiful faerie and she had a wand with a star on the end of it. When she touched the inside of the book with it, a bright light shone and little stars sparkled out and landed inside. I looked over her shoulder and saw that the book was full of names and some had these sparkling stars by them and others didn't.

I moved in front of her so that she would not be afraid because I knew she didn't see me. She looked up and told me that she had sensed my presence long before I stood behind her, so she knew I was there and who I was and therefore not afraid .

I asked her if she would tell me what she was doing with that big book and why at times she smiled and other times she had a tear in her eye. What was the wand doing too, I asked.

"I am the faerie of Wisdom and Forgiveness,"She said.  "I have everyone that has not forgiven someone that they have wronged in this book and I try to use my wisdom and age, for I have been here for many many of your earth years, so I have alot of wisdom that I can share with all of you." "You see," She said. "You humans hurt each other and don't know how to make amends for the wrongs you have done to others." "I try to whisper to these people and help them realize that their lives are way to short to hold a grudge against someone they really love and not share their lives with them." "Many times it is over a foolish thing or a complete misunderstanding. Often times it is from gossip that they have heard from a third party." "These are the saddest, because to believe what someone else says in gossip is wrong and sometimes these people are deliberately hoping to cause trouble and break up a friendship." "Have you ever noticed that the ones that gossip the most are the unhappiest people on earth?" "They are so consumed with unhappiness that they can't seem to want anyone else to be happy either, sothey start false rumors and lie about what one person said about another." "I have a tear in my eye when I realize that no matter how much I try to help them, they will never change." "But then on the other hand , there are those that I am able to reach and make understand that a friend is worth more than anything on this earth. NO money, no accomplishment can replace a true friend." "One that will always be there no matter what happens and no matter what anyone says or does they will stand fast." "These are true friend, that are made of gold and last for your lifetime." "You will meet many friends during your life, but only a few gold ones. "

How wise this faerie was and she explained that when she reached two people and they renewed their friendship, they glowed red in her book and then she touched their names with her wand and the red turned to gold, for then they were friend of gold for life. I listened to her talk and tell me her stories as she touched certain names in that book and others I noticed were a black color and these made her have a tear. Thank goodness that the gold ones outnumbered the black ones. I would hate to see this beautiful faerie full of saddness and cry. When she was done, she lifted her magic wand and waved it over the book and it disappeared. That is how she "carried" her book, I  had to smile.  How lovely she was in her gown on emerald green and trimmed in black, and I noticed that she had a black ribbon around her waist and it had a silver medallion tied to it. I was staring at it and she smiled and told me that it was an intricate endless knotting that hallmarks the artistry of the Celtic Relm--demostrated in the eternity--symbolizing there is no end. This is how freindship should be she said, for it is as precious as diamonds and worth more than pearls.

I thought it was beautiful and I had never seen anything like it before. She told me that many people from her land wore these as rings and many gave them as wedding bands too. How wonderful they would look , I really admired that medallion . She smiled and said that I could buy a ring in almost any jewerly store. I liked hearing that and said that I was going to look for it the first chance I got.

I wished her a good day and I walked back to the house thinking about this faeries wonderful words of wisdom, and thinking if I had hurt anyone unjustly and if I did, I was going to make sure that I made amends, because friendship is to precious to let go.

 

Faerie of Comfort

I had just come home from a very sad day spent with a family that had lost someone very dear to them and to me also. This person had been a friend of mine for many many years. We had gone through all the trials and tribulations and laughed and smiled and hugged over many happy events in our lives. I sadly sat down on my porch and sighed as I rocked back and forth in my rocking chair. Thinking back to all the times I meant to call her and say Hello but there always seemed to be something to do or somewhere to go. So now, I can not do this any more. I missed my chance.,

As I sat there daydreaming of my dear friend, a very gentle breeze touched my cheek and I heard a small little voice whispering in my ear. I turned my head slightly and there hovering just above my shoulder was a beautiful faerie. She looked so sad and she gently landed on my shoulder and put her small hands on my face and wiped away the tears that were falling from my eyes. As she touched each tear and held it in her small hand it turned into a pretty small bird with a tiny white flower in its beak  and she lifted her hand and let it fly up into the sky. She did this with each tear that she took as I sat and quietly cried and watched her. I was too sad to speak and  she seemed to understand this.

She gently talked to me and said that every tear that I shed for my dear friend was now on its way to heaven to show that person that I loved her very much and instead of tears, my friend would get these pretty flowers brought to her by these very special birds that only she could send. She said that my friend would smile and take each flower and make a bouquet out of them and smell their pretty fragance and be happy that someone loved her so much to send these to her. Each flower was special because there were none like them on earth. They glittered and glowed a soft yellow-pink color and smelled heavenly.

I asked her who she was and how she knew that I was so sad about my lost friend.

"I am the faerie of comfort,'She said. "I am sent out  by the Faerie Princess when ever anyone truly loves someone and they are so sad that their hearts and souls are full of tears. I send those tears to their loved ones and let them know that they  are remembered and loved and missed. I do this for all people and there are many of us that do this every minute every day. By sending these flowers and changing your tears to birds that can spread their wings and go up to heaven will help ease your pain as each time a tear is changed a small spark of comfort enters your heart and soul . It will not take all the pain away from losing the one you love, but it will help you to be comforted that they are with the Lord and are happy in His care. "

I just sat and saddly looked at this wonder sent to me to comfort my grief. She was so lovely and her voice was so soft and loving. She had clear wings that moved slowly back and forth as she talked to me and in a way they were comforting to watch. Her gown was of lavendar and white and she had a pink shawl on her shoulders. Lovely red hair flowing down to her waist with ringlets of curls circling her gentle oval face . She had soft green eyes and dark lashes that made them even more attractive. Her eyes seemed to glisten and shine as we talked and I began to feel a peace come over me. She stayed with me for the whole time I sat on that porch and I told her all about my dear friend that I will miss so badly. I can only think that the Faerie Princess and God work together on occassions such as these. I can only thank both of them of this angel of a faerie whos job was comforting aching hearts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The MOON FAERIE

Have you ever looked up into the sky and seen the moon faerie sitting on the moon and just playing her harp and singing sweet songs? Maybe you can't see this faerie because you have to be in my glen where all the faeries live. I have just noticed her there today as I was sitting on my porch and looking up and the sky. She seemed to be so beautiful and there were irredesent lights surrounding her as she sat and swung her leg back and forth and sang her lovely song.  I sat mesmerized and she kept  swinging her leg and singing and playing that harp. After what had seemed a very long time, she left that moon and it seemed that she was like a streak of multicolored lights going through the sky. She landed on the porch by my railing and took me by surprise, because I didn't think that she saw me there and watching her.

How lovely she looked. She had on a long multicolored gown and it was shiny and silky. It seemed to flow in the wind as she quietly walked up to me and sat on my outstretched hand. I told her how happy I was that she decided to stop in and say hello to me.

She said that she had seen me sitting and listening to her singing and that she could here me huming the words with her nad wondered how I had learned that song as it was an old Irish one and no body sang it anymore. I had to confess that I had listened and learned it from her and I didn't even realize that I was humming the same tune as she was singing.  She just smiled and said that  she was happy that she was able to share that song with me. 

She said that she was on vacation and that she chose just to stay in the glen and sing and play her harp and not hurry off somewhere when she was very happy here. That is why she decided to streak to the moon and sit there and sing and play tonight.

How wonderful that would be to be able to just streak to the moon and sit and swing your foot and play a harp and sing.  I closed my eyes as she started to play and sing another song for me. I began taping my foot to the music. We stayed there for quite awhile and just relaxed and talked and sang songs that I knew and taught her and she taught me a few of hers.

What a wonderful ending to a tiring day at work. It was nice and cool out side and just sitting there with my faerie friend was the best thing to happen to me in a long time.

Faerie of the Stareyed lovers

I was sitting on the rocker on my porch and I happened to glance up into the sky. I noticed that their were some very unusual stars out tonight. They were not shaped like the ordinary ones, they were brighter and more stretched out as if to draw attention to themselves more. I sat there deep in thought and wondered about all the lovers looking at these beautiful stars and holding each other.

"Ahh, Lass, you have noticed my lovely starey stars shinning out tonight."

I looked around to see who had said that and I noticed a bright light and in the middle of that light was a beautiful lavendar winged faerie. She had such beautiful long brown wavey hair that was down to her waist. She smiled at me and came to rest on my rocker arm and she had starlite surrounding her. I couldn't take my eyes off of her. She looked more beautiful than any star I have ever seen. She stood in the middle and lights streamed out on four sides of her as if a star was stretched out so she could be in the middle.

"I am the faerie of lovers she said softly." "I see them walking on the beach or sitting on a porch any where I can find them, and I send these special stars into the skies for them to wish and dream on." She said. "These are very special stars, you see, if you wish upon one of these stars that I send your wishes will come true." "I make them bright and stretch them out so that they glitter and shine so bright that they can't help but notice them and I whisper in their ears to make a silent wish of love." "You would be surprised how unselfishly they wish,"She said. Some of them wish for their mates to be happy and healthy and others wish for long life and love for their mates." " I have never heard anyone of them wish for anything for themselves, it is always for the one that they love."

I sat their and listened to this small wonderful gift from heaven as she explained her job to me. She was so happy and excited to be able to perform this simple task for lovers. How would it feel I wondered to have a job like that. To simply provide bright shiny stars for lovers to wish upon.

She seemed to sense my wish and asked me to wish upon a star for myself. I told her I didn't see any like she discribed up there. She reached in her small pocket and a small light was inside of her tiny hand. She extended it up and the small light lifted up rapidly into the sky and as it did so it became bigger and bigger until I had  to sheild my eyes from its brightness. It kept rising until it was up with the other stars, but much bigger and brighter and stretched out so far it took up the space of three of the others.

"Go ahead,"she said, "Make a wish on that star and I will do my best to make it come true for you."

I thought for a long time and I could only come up with one wish and I hoped that it would come true. I sat up and leaned forward and whispered, "Star lite, Star bright, First star I see this night, I wish I might have this wish that I wish tonight." I closed my eyes and held them tightly closed as I made my wish.

When I opened my eyes, she was gone and in her place was a bouguet of flowers that smelled heavenly and my star was shiny brighter and brighter it started to move and streaked across the sky and i could see its tail as it sailed away a smile came across my face because I knew that the faerie would give me my wish.

I sat back and rocked and rocked and thought that if that faerie was able to give me my wish I would be a very happy woman indeed. That handsome young garage mechanic that took care of my car for all these months would finally notice me and not just talk to me from under a car as he usually did.  Oh!! I can't wait to see if this one comes true for me . I know she said that lovers wished for others but I didn't have a lover so I felt it was ok to wish for myself and who knows, maybe if I saw one of those great stars again and I had a lover, I could make another wish . You can never tell can you?  What a warm and lovely night. I can smell all the flowers in the glen as the wind sends whiffs of their fragrance toward my home. Wonderful, I love this home and glen. Just love it here.

 

 

Sisters of the butterflies

I was standing on my patio and I noticed that there were so many butterflies coming from all over. I smiled at them as they danced around my head and body and I was very carefull not to hurt anyone of them. They seemed to be asking me to follow them because they would come very close and then move away and then return again as if to say come this way. I smiled and stepped off of the porch and followed them into the glen.

there sitting on the ground and surrounded by many thousands of butterflies were two faeries and two smaller faeries too. They seemed to be holding these butterflies and letting them go. They all were landing on these faeries hands and as they lifted to go their colors were magnificent. Each butterfly was given a different design and color of its very own. How amazing that this could be done. As I watched the butterflies were all the same color landing on the faeries hands and yet when they left they were all the beautiful colors of the rainbow.

The sister faries noticed me and bid me welcome and to come closer. I did and they explained that all butterflies were the same color at birth and it was there job to make sure each got their own colors. Each butterfly got to pick his or her own design and some were very beautiful. How imaginative they could be. A few wanted to be the same color and that was ok too.

This glen and these faeries never cease to amaze me. There is always some wonderful and amazing thing going on in here. Who would have ever thought that such a small glen would be the home of such wonderous creatures and such beautiful faeries of love. For not one of them had any thing but love in their hearts and they made you awarre of their love when they spoke to you and by what they did for all of us to enjoy.

I left with a halo of butterflies surrounding my head and the small sound of their wings magnified because of their numbers sounded like the tinkling of tiny bells. So if you are ever in a glen and you hear a slight sound of tinkling bells , think of all these butterflies fluttering around and it will make you smile as it did me.

Mystical Faerie

I had hoped to run into the Faerie Princess today , but she didn't seem to be around and when I asked a few faeries that were doing there work, they said that she hadn't come back yet from the other glen.

I noticed an exceptionally beautiful faerie with the most wonderful wings I have ever seen. They were all different colors, but the amazing things was that they changed from one color to the other as you watched. They were so delicate and fragile looking. 

I approached this faerie and told her who I was and asked her what her name was and what kind of work did she do.

She smiled and said that her name was Mystical faerie and that she had seen me many times because she could hear me wishing for different things and she was the one that made those wishes come true, if they were good wishes. I asked her why her wings were changing colors all the time and she replied that as she picked up senses from people their moods were reflected in her wings. If they were sad her wings turned almost a deep purple and if they were happy they turned into a rainbow. If they were ill , her wings turned green and if they had troubles her wings turned a grayish color. Happiness was a radiant blue and joy was yellow and blue mixed together. She said that they helped her decide who she should go to first. She said that she always went to the ones that felt lost and alone first. They were the ones in need the most of a friend and she would go and spread her faerie dust on them and wave her magical wand and help them with  what ever it was that was distressing them so much. Sometimes, she said, no matter what she did, it didn't help but that she always tried. Sometimes it was a persons destiny to have things happen to them and she had no control of peoples destinies. She could only help out just so much. 

I thanked her for her explanations and watched as she stood up and her wings changed into a deep purple and she looked sad as she flew away. On her way to do all she could to help someone in need. 

Faerie of the Fire

I smelled smoke and quickly ran from the house and looked in all directions. The smoke was coming from the forest. Oh! No! Not the forest!

I ran as fast as I could and took my cell phone with me and dialed 911 as I ran. They hooked me up to the fire company and I started to tell them about the smoke coming from the forest. They were talking to me and I came upon the spot that was smoking. 

There was a blue faerie with her magic wand and she had put out the fire. I was so relieved. I told the fire company that it was ok and nothing was wrong. That is was a campfire that someone had not put out properly and that it was out now.  They asked if I was sure and I told them I was,but the chief said he would come with a few men to check anyway.

The faerie was upset and she said to me."There were people in this forest, and they made this fire and did not make it right in the first place and then they didn 't put it out properly." "I was very glad that I happened along at the right time." "This could have been a horrible fire and destroyed the forest and the glen also."

I told the faerie that no one had any right to come on this land and make fires. I had posted the land when I first bought it so that nothing of nature would be destroyed by anyone. This is why the Faerie Princess had chosen this glen to live in with her subjects. 

I asked this beautiful faerie what her name was and what  was her job. She told me that her name was simply Firefaerie and her job was to watch for fires set in forests and glens.  She said she was like a guard. Her magic wand could put out small  fires before they became large and then she would not be able to help. It would be to late for her small magic wand to handle.

As we spoke I could hear the firemen coming and she quickly took off into the forest and disappeared. The firemen looked over the fire very carefully and they too said that who ever made that fire didn't know what he was doing and then didn't put it out properly. The sprayed some thing from a large container on the smoldering fire and I could still hear it sizzling. I was glad that they had come and checked it.

The fire chief said that so many people do this and they really don't know the proper way to set a campfire, and then how to make sure it is out before they leave.  He said that I was lucky to come across it here in the forest and able to put it out before it comsumed the trees. 

That was a close call, and I thanked the firemen for coming and checking  and mentally I thanked the firefaerie for guarding my forest too.

I went home a little shook up, and decided that I would put more posters up stating that no camp fires were to be built on my land and especially in the forest or glen. They were much to dangerous. I would be more viligent now.

 

 

Yellow Faerie

This morning I decided to invite my faerie friend to my home and have a little party for them. I walked into the glen and came upon a faerie just sitting on a leaf and singing a pretty song.She was so pretty with her long blonde hair and yellow wings. This is the first faerie that I have seen with solid color wings and it surprised me . She seemed to be so happy and just kept singing until she spotted me and stopped and smiled at me. 

I smiled back and asked her who I could talk to about inviting the faeries to my home for a party tonight. I explained that they gave me such joy that I wanted to share my home with them and show them how much I appreciated them.

She just shook her head and looked at me and sadly told me that the Faerie Princess forbid them from leaving the glen when she was gone.

I asked where she had gone to and the yellow faerie said that there were some faeries that needed her in another place and that she would be gone for a few days orlonger depending on what had to be done . I nodded that I understood and asked if I could sit and talk with her for awhile. She smiled and said that she welcomed the company.  I asked her if she had a specific job like the other faeries seemed to have and she said that yes, she did. Her job was to see that all the flowers were taken care of and that they were protected from the weather and humans . I told her that was a big job and she said that it was not really. She was to let the humans have some of the flowers to enjoy but not to just trample them and kill them . She would  fly up to the human and become invisible and whisper that they had enough flowers or to be careful not to step on the precious  little flowers because of their beauty.  I nodded and  I knew that there were times myself that I walked in the forest or field and I was unconscience to my surroundings and all of a sudden realize that I was trampling some of these flowers and step back on the path. She seemed to read my thoughts and nodded back. "Yes," she said, "That was me, whispering to you to get back on the path."

We had such a lovely talk and she said she would tell the Faerie Princess when she returned about my offer of a party. I thanked her and left the glen and went home for it was getting late, and I don't like walking in the dark forest at night.

FAERY OF THE NIGHT LIGHTS

When I was walking in the night down to the water just before you reach the forest, I noticed small bolts of light that looked as if they were coming from the glen and going into the night sky. When they reached the sky, they began to get brighter and brighter and they were moving across the sky  as if looking for a place to stay. Some of them streaked throught the sky and you could see their tails as they went on their way. I smiled, because I knew it had to be a faerie in the glen doing this work.

I walked through the small forest and into the glen and sure enough there she was standing and with her hand outstretched she was sending balls of light out and upward into the night . I approached and she turned and said good evening and we started to talk. I asked her what she was doing and she told me that God made the stars and sometimes the faeries helped him by sending special ones full of magic to answer wishes that people made on them. So, she was in charge of these special globes or stars as we call them and when someone wished upon them, their wishes were brought back to her and if she could with her magic she would fulfill them. She also said that sometimes she didn't fulfill wishes if it would not be in the best interest of the person making the wish. Sometimes people wish for things that would not be good for them and she was careful who and what she did. 

I thought this over and I agreed with her. I can remember wishing for things that now I am glad didn't come true.  You probably can remember doing that too. 

I bid her a good night and waked back toward my home watching her bright white balls shooting into the air and into the sky.  I bet no one knows about her work and that she is in charge of granting their wishes.  I smiled. Now I  knew!!!!!

Mystical Faerie

I was walking down my path to see if I could find a faerie friend today. To my surprise sitting in the middle of some wildflowers was a beautiful blonde haired faerie with a glowing ball in her hands. She was silently reciting something that I could not make out and so I just quietly stood there and listened and watched as she ran her hands around this ball and whispered her words . Inside of the ball there were many colors, like a rainbow all swirling around and around as she talked and becoming brighter and brighter as she continued with her ritual.

She finally got done and the ball just glowed a very bright white light . She looked up at me and there seemed to be saddness in her eyes. I saw a small tear fall from the corner of her eye. I stooped down and asked her what the problem was and if there were any way that I could help.

 

she nodded her head from side to side and sighed and said no, there was nothing I could do that would help . She stated that she had done all that she could with her magic and hoped that it would be enough and maybe change what was happening. 

I didn't know what she meant and asked her what was to be changed.

she replied,"There is so much trouble in this world and I am the Faerie of love and peace". "I have had news today that a terrible tradgy happened in another country and it saddens me." "I have said my magic spells and used all my powers given to me by the Faerie Princess to try and help all these people in their time of need." "I can't help the ones that were taken away, but I hope that My magic and love and peace will help all the ones that are there and in shock and disbelief that anyone could do this to so many for no reason other than to hurt people. I have been around many many of your earth years and have seen this so many times. I will never understand that all can't love each other and help each other.""The Faerie Princess has decided to make many more  of us faeries of love and peace and send us all around the world in hopes that maybe we can make a difference." "I can see in this ball all the suffering and crying of the people that have been so badly hurt." "This is a sad day for all humans and all caring and loving creatures on earth.""Us faeries feel pain and suffer with all that are injured and those that have passed on." "The only way humans can help is to realize that they must stop this needless killing and start to love each other as they love themselves, then maybe love and peace will  prevail."

I left her to do her work and sadly left the glen because I knew in my heart that it would be a very long time before all humans would ever feel the way she thought we should feel. As I think we should feel.  Maybe if we do it one person at a time, and just let it multiply , just maybe we can make a small difference. It is worth the try , isn't it?

BUTERFLY FAERIE

As I was sitting by the water near the forest I noticed many hundreds of butterflies flying around and entering the glen. The colors were magnificent and there were so many different commbinations of colors I could not believe my eyes. I put my book down and walked in to the glen to see where they all were going.

As I neared the center of the glen I saw a faerie there with glossmer wings that were very large and had many different colors illuminating the area. How wonderful she looked. She was surrounded by all the butterflies that I had seen enter the glen plus many hundreds more. They looked like an aura around her head and body. As they flew close to her and she reached out and gently touched each one. It was as if she was communicating with each butterfly because after they landed in her hands they would take off and go in different directions as if she told them where she wanted them to go.

She spotted me and slightly nodded her head in welcome as she continued her work. I stood fascinated as she held each butterfly and stroked them and they flew away from her and another would take their place. This went on for a long time and the time just flew because I had never seen so many beautiful butterflies and the various colors on them was unbelieveable.

Finally all the butterflies had flown away and I didn't know whether to speak or be silent as she had not said a word to me yet.

She nodded her head and spoke."I am sorry, I hope you didn't think I was rude.""You see, I am in charge of the butterflies and I was sending them out to their different places to live and be happy. " "Some places are very good for them and others are not, so I am very careful where I send my wards." "Each day , I send more out and hope that the humans will enjoy them and not harm them." "Some times the children don't realize how delicate their wings are and they will accidently injure them, and my wards will try to make it back to me, or send someone to get me so that I might help them with my magic wand and repair their wings."" Butterflies are very special and fragile. They fill the sky with multicolors and make all the flowers look so much more colorful when they land on them."

I agreed with her and told her that I would be very careful not to harm any of her charges. She bid me a good day and said that she had other fields and valleys to visit today and had better be on her way.  When she stood and started to fly away , many of her wards flew away with her. They all were a lovely sight to behold as I watched them leave the glen.

I went back through the forest and sat down by the water and started to read my book again. How peaceful it is here. No one knows about this special place I have and if I can help it, no one would ever know. I only have two friends that have been here once, and I know they would never tell anyone of this special forest and glen.

 

 

FAERIES OF FUN AND ENTERTAINMENT

I took a walk down by the water that is on the other side of the forest and to my delight there were faeries dancing and one of the faeries was sitting on a seashell and playing the flute. How sweet the sounds were coming from that flute and the two faeries were dancing and having a great time. How lovely they all looked just having fun. Inside of the seashell there was a light and I wondered how that could be too.

As I approached the faery that was playing the flute stopped and said hello and the two smaller faeries came closer and stayed by her side. They looked much younger than she was and I wondered who they were.

I introduced myself and asked her what her name was and told her that her music was so beautiful and sweet to the ears.

She smiled at me and said that she was called Symphony because she played her flute for all the special functions that the faeries had and that she taught the younger faeries how to dance and sing. She pointed to the two younger faeries and said that they were her children and that she was just giving them a lesson in dancing and singing.She called to the two girl faeries and asked them to sing while she played her flute.  It was the most wonderful song I have ever heard. Their voices were sweet and clear and blended in to make this small song into a treasure to remember. I smiled and sat down on the grass as they sang one song after another and their mother played the flute . How wonderful to have this job.

The music stopped and the two smaller faeries flew over to me and landed on my outstretched palm and just looked at me and looked. I don't think they had ever seen a human before and my convictions were strengthen when the mother called her children back and told them not to be rude by staring at me.  I assured her that I did not think they were rude and that I didn't mind them looking me over. I certainly enjoyed looking at them.

I asked how the sea shell had that bright light shinning from it and she smiled and said that she had done that with her magic wand. It was a bit dark out and she had tapped the sea shell and it showen a nice soft orange light that enabled her and her daughters to see . How magical and wonderful these small  faeries were. I could stay here forever  and just listen to their songs and watch them dance.

She said that they must be leaving now as it was time for rest and that her children were quite young and needed their rest. She also said that each of them would be trained in playing the flute and the pan pipes so that they too could be the faeries of fun and entertainment in the future when she was too old to do it. and even before as soon as they were ready. 

I thanked all of them for playing and singing and dancing for me . I had enjoyed it very much and I hoped that one day I would see them again. The mother faerie assured me that she would be seeing me again if I came to any of their celebrations. She was in charge of them and would be sure to come and say hello.  I smiled and bid them all a good night as I started to walk back to my home. How had I been so blessed to have these wonderful faeries come to my glen I will never know, but I really loved all of them and hoped they would never go away.

Fairy of the heart and light inside

Sweet Faerie of Heart, Sweet Faerie of Light,tiptoe into the dawn and chase away the night, summon your powers then cast magic spells, sprinkle the flowers with sweet faerie smells.

As I walked along I heard this beautiful song being sung. I followed the sound and came upon a a small fairy lying on a toad stool and singing as her beautiful irridescent wings gently fluttered back and forth. She looked so peaceful and happy just lying there and singing. Her voice sounded like an angels. Sweet and soft. She sang that song over and over, until she noticed me standing and smiling at her.

"hello,"I said."What a lovely song that is that  you are singing. I followed the sound here to see who was singing in the glen."

She simply stayed where she was and said that her name was heartlight. I thought that a strange name for a fairy, but didn't say anything.

She sensed my thoughts and started to speak . "My name is unusual because I have a very unusual job here." "I am in charge of bringing light into this glen and chasing away the night so that all the lovely things in here get the sunlight they need to survive. Sometimes the sun doesn't reach some of these friends of mine and they start to wilt, I come here and bring the light to them." "Everything must have light to survive and sometimes the light can't find them. I help them and with my powers they become strong and healthy. I sprinkle each blossom with my faerie dust and it makes them strong and shine so beautifully. I love my job,"she said. "I get to make all things beautiful and help them grow strong and healthy." "My faerie dust can turn a flower that is whilting into a glorious work of art." "It also works on people too." "I can sprinkle some of it and make an unhappy person happy again."

I asked her how this was possible because it didn't take away any problems, or did it?

She simply smiled and said no it didn't take away any ones problems, but it helped them by making them smile and not take life so seriously."" Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is mystery, Today is a gift, That is why it is called the Present", she smiled and said.

I thought about that and had to agree with her words of wisdom. We talked for another hour or so and then I left to go back home to have some tea and get ready for bed. Work tomorrow you know. Yawn!!  Goodnight.!!

 

LEAF COLORING FAIRY

I was walking along the lane in the glen and came upon a beauty of a fairy as she was painting the leaves on the different flowers and trees. I asked her why she was painting them different colors because it wasn't autumn yet and she just smiled and said that she was only painting the ones that need medicine and that the medicine happend to be in different colors according to what they needed to be healthy again. I thought about this for a few minutes, and it did make sense. How else would she know which medicine was which. She looked so lovely in her cute outfit and her small paint brush had all the colors that she needed to use. I asked what each was and she explained that yellow was for droopy leaves, and red for lack of sun, and green for patching up parts that the bugs got at,blue for the lack of water in the veins of the leaves. She happily went about her business and I kept walking through the glen and thought that these fairies had all under control. Why, we as humans couldn't take care of ourselves as good as they did. Something to ponder about as I sat down on my porch to enjoy the sunset.

The Knowing Fairy

When I was walking by the forest entrance I spotted a beautiful purple winged fairy. She was wonderful to look at and had such a beautiful aura about her. I approached her and asked her if she was here for any reason. She told me no, that she was on her way to see the Fairy Princess because she was summoned by her today. I told her that I was summoned also and maybe we could go together. I put my hand out and she fly up into my palm and sat down. Her wings looked like shifting light, emotion, and energy. She told me that they were made this way so that she could transcend the mundane world.  She said that she was the possesser of of all hidden secrets and able to reveal all secrets and aid us in finding lost items and articles.  She smiled, as I just looked at her.  Was this possible, I thought. Nodding she said yes that it was indeed possible.

 

We both continued on our way to the Fairy princess by way of the glen walk way.  It is so lovely there as the flowers sway in the summer breeze and the birds sang our welcome. Lovely to look at and lovely to hear. How special these fairies made this glen to me.

Upon entering the Princess sheltered haven we were greeted by the Nuptial Fairy. How beautiful she was all dressed in a white flowing gown and she had a ring of flowers in her hair. A very small book was in her hand and she had a very different wand tucked in her waist band.

the Princess Fairy came to greet us and told us that we were summoned to witness the marriage of her two trusted guardian fairies. They had fallen in love and were to be married this day by the Nuptial fairy. I could not believe my ears or eyes. I felt so priviledged by being able to witness this event. The Princess asked the Knowing Fairy if there was any reason that these two should not be given her blessing to wed and the Knowing Fairy just shook her head and said that all was well and they would be happy together.  The Princess then told the Nuptial Fairy to begin the ceremony.

The Nuptial Fairy took out her wand from her waist and it began to glow a beautiful rainbow of colors. I have never seen such beauty. She opened her small book and read in a language that I didn't understand and was told that it was an ancient language called Gaelic. No matter, the way she spoke and the beautiful sounding words kept me in rapture. The bride and groom so to speak were dressed in white also and the small bride had on a long silky dress and carried a small flower in her hand. The groom also was in white and had two tiny rings in his hand. The Nuptial Fairy took the small rings and placed them on their fingers and put one hand on top of the other.Then she took her magic wand and touched the hands and the rings began to glow and they turned all the colors of the rainbow and the Nuptial fairy said that they were wed forever. All the other fairies flew down to congratulate them and they were dancing and singing and having such a grand time.  I stayed for about another hour and sadly had to leave. Work tomorrow you know. I left and listened to them having a grand time as I walked back home.

IRISH SHAMROCK FAIRY

"Hi," I said as I stooped down to say hello to the cutest smallest fairy I have seen so far. "My name is Janice, what is yours, and what are you doing with those leaves."

"Well, a good morning to ya," "I am known as the Shamrock Fairy and I go about making sure that all the shamrocks are properly made, you know. Sometimes they forget to make that last part of the leaf and they look sort of out of place then." "I come with my wand and touch the leaf and make it right, we canna have these looking the wrong way you see." They must all be identical as they are our favorite you know."

I smiled, what a lovely small fairy and she was so cute too. Dressed in green and with that small green band around her long hair to hold it back from her face. Such a lovely sight to see so early in the morning. I asked her if she just did this in my glen, and she said no , that she did alot of traveling and that there were many of her type of fairy doing the same jobs as there were alot of shamrocks to take care of. I just nodded my head and we continued talking for a long time as she flew from leaf to leaf and did her magic. It is so fascinating to watch how each fairy performs their duties with happiness and never a harsh or nasty word to say  about anything. I wish humans could learn from  these fairies. Well. it is off to work for me and the Shamrock Fairy has asked me to return tonight after work that the Fairy Princess would like to speak to me,I asked how she knew this and she smiled and said that the Fairy Princess had told her this morning that when I came in to the glen to relay the message for her to me. If you would please come and talk to her after your day is done. She had something important she wanted to talk to you about.

Now I was really curious and worried. I asked the little fairy if they were planning on leaving my glen, and she just shook her head and said no that it had nothing to do with the glen.  I told her to tell the Fairy Princess that I would be back around 6pm and I would come into the glen then to see her if that was a good time for her. The small fairy assured me that it was indeed a good time.

So I left with a wave of my hand and a smile on my face, thinking that everyone should be able to start their days as I was able to. How wonderful to be able to wake up and go into the glen before work and stroll through it and talk to fairies and enjoy my morning coffee. and leave for work with a smile on my face. What a great morning!!!!!

 

RAINBOW FAIRY

It has been raining and I could not resist the sweet smell of the grasses and bushes after a rain. I have decided to walk through the woods and just enjoy the smells and sights.  As I was walking I spotted a beautiful fairy with multicolored wings and she had a basket of flowers and a wand in her hand made of all different colors. As I approached she sensed my coming and turned to look at me and smiled. I introduced myself and asked her what her name was and what she was doing. I know that each fairy has a job to do here and I was sure she was out here doing hers.

"I am the Rainbow Fairy", She said. After a good rain, I come out and gather the flowers that have been hurt by the hard rainfall and turn them into all the colors you see on this wand. Then I wave this magic wand and it makes rainbows for all to enjoy so that these poor flowers didn't die for nothing. They contribute to the many colors you see everything you look up and are able to enjoy a rainbow. Don't you think that is a nice way to use their beautiful colors?" She said.

I agreed and watched as she went about her work picking the drooping flowers and turning them into colors that went into the wand and as she waved it rainbows appeared all over and some where small and others were very big. What a glorious sight to behold. There were rainbows everywhere and sometimes two together to make it extra wonderful.  I stood there for a long time watching this beauty work her magic and thought how lucky could one person be to have all this beauty in her own backyard. 

 

LOVE FAIRY DUST AND UNICORN

Today while sitting and reading on a lounge in the sunlight I was distracted by something flying through the air towards the glen. I was very curious and so I got up and walked in the glen to see what it was that had flown in there. I was so surprised to see a unicorn and a beautiful fairy that had a wand in her hand and sparkly bits of silver were coming from it every time she would move it.  She seemed to know I was coming because she wasn't afraid and I have seen so many unusual things that I was not frightened either. I introduced myself and she just nodded as she got off of the unicorn and walked toward me

"Hello,"I said. "My name is Janice and I own this land, who are you?"

Smiling she said,"Hello,  My name is Marie and I am the fairy that sprinkles fairy dust on people that just need a little bit of courage to do what they want to let others know how they feel. and to help people that need help.

I asked what did she mean. I understood the love part, but people in need? What did fairy dust do for them.

"Well,"she said, "Sometimes they are timid and others then to take advantage of them, and my dust gives them courage to stand up for themselves." "Or they have something very important to do and yet lack the courage to do it , then I sprinkle my dust on them and they will try  and succeed with their task." "Many times a little fairy dust can make the difference between a very sad day and a happy one." "I will try to help all I can by just being there for them and I actually appear before them sometimes, if they believe in miracles." "I have this special gift to help all that need just that little bit of extra help, love, and a tiny shove." She giggled.

This was a beautiful fairy, her gown was long and purple and make of the finest silk. Her fairy wings were a delicate lavender and her wand was glowing and as she moved it tiny sparkles drifted out of it and landed on me. I felt light headed at first and slowly I started to feel very happy and good about myself. I felt like my skin tingle a bit here and there and it made me laugh.

The fairy just smiled at me and got back on her wonderful unicorn and took off into the sunlight. I stood there for a long time just looking at the beautiful day and thinking how lucky I was that these fairies felt safe and happy here and that I could enjoy being here with them each day.

Bubble Fairy

Today in the glen I came upon a fairy that was making bubbles. As she made them, she was singing a sweet song about the flowers in the glen and how she has been painting them since time had began.  What a lovely sight. As each colored bubble rose to the sky it settled on a flower and its color was transfered to the flower making them look so beautiful. Some looked like rainbows with many colors because two or more bubbles landed on them. I couldn't help smiling. How fortunate I was that these wonderous small fairies came to live here. What joy they bring to me every day. Each one has a different job to do and does it with joy in their hearts. The beauty they create is unmeasurable and no artist could ever do what they are capable of doing. They speak with years of wisdom and try to improve this world that we live in by making it beautiful and spreading their love , hope, charity ,compassion and happiness around for all to share. I love to watch them at work and at play. As I look around I can see the fields of flowers that this happy fairy has painted with her bubbles of color. They are floating up into the air and landing here and there. How beautiful the different flowers look all mixed up no two the same. I wish I could show you all that she has done here today. I am in awe of her abilities to brighten this world. She has no other motive for doing this other than to make this field and others more beautiful with her colored bubbles. How I wish I could do this, I told her. She smiled at me and handed me the wand and nodded her head. I just looked at her. Is this possible, I thought. She just smiled as if she read my mind. I put the small wand into the bucket and took it out and waved it into the wind. To my surprise the bubbles flew away and landed on some flowers that were so drab and immediately they became red, blue and yellow. I laughed out loud, i was so happy. She let me do this for a long time , all the time she kept singing her pretty flower song. What a way to spend a day in the glen. I handed her back her little wand and she said that any time I would like I could come back and help her make the flowers pretty. I turned to look at the glen fields again. They glowed with multicolored flowers as far as you could see. When I turned to thank her, she was gone. I guess her work was done.   I smiled and went back through the forest to my home with visions of bubbles dancing in my head.

Fariy of Love

Today as I was walking and daydreaming, I heard a voice singing from a little tree in the glen. I slowly walked up and there I saw the most beautiful fairy sitting on a limb of the tree and singing as she knelt there with her pet. She noticed me and said, " Hi, this is my pet Susy and I am the Fairy of Love."

"I didn't know that there were fairies in charge of love?"

"Oh, yes we are. Sometimes if someone needs a little push or help we are there to whisper in their hearts and souls. For all mankind to love one another is our goal."

"How wonderful." I exclaimed. "I wish the same as you do." "What a wonderful world this would be if all could just love each other as they love themselves." "There would be no poverty, no wars, no riots, no unkindness because of a difference in race or creed."

The fairy of love shook her head and looked so sad. "I have been working for so long and with all my helpers, and we still have a long way to go." "You see, people can't get over the jeolousy and the greed. They can't accept that all are intitled to all that they have. They will not share and it seems the more they have, the more they want." "my fairies and I have been so busy and today I needed to rest and refresh myself and come to the Fairy Princess and have a long talk with her about all that is going on in this world." "You see, this just is not just your world to do with as you see fit, there are others living here too." " The animals in the woods, the faries, the little people that live in the forest, so many other living beings depend on each other for life." "Man is arrogant to suppose that he is the only living being on this earth that deserves peace and the right to life."

Saddly, I nodded my head, because I had to agree with all that this beautiful and wise fairy had to say. She was right about mankind. There are those that have it all and there are those that have nothing. The ones that have everything are greedy and want more and will not help those that need them so that they can live in peace and harmony and be free of worry and strife. How wise this fairy is to know all of this.

"How can I help," I asked.

She smiled at me, and this is what she said. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." "That is all I ask of every human. If you all do this, I would be out of a job. I happily would give my job up. I wouldn't have to see all that misery and unhappiness in this world.  If everyone followed those simple words, there would be no wars, no poverty, no ignorance, no unhappiness. All would live in peace and help each other."

She said that she had to leave for she had alot of work to do, and that it was a pleasure meeting me. I told her no, it was my pleasure and that I would do all I could to make her job easier. She smiled and waved as she flew away on her pet Susy, the dragonfly.

I slowly walked back through the forest home. Thinking about her wise words. If someone this small could be so wise and caring and loving, how come we can't? We are supposed to be smart and educated and know right from wrong. How humbling that a tiny fairy knew how to make this world better with her few simple words. Simple and yet hard to implement. That is why this fairy has such a hard and saddening job, I thought. I decided then and there that I would do all I could to help this fairy do her job and just maybe get a few friends too do it too, and maybe, just maybe it could spread and spread. A sort of pass it on thing from one person to another.

 

Fairy of Faith

I have come into the glen to see if any of my new found friends are there. I can hear some gentle music coming from within the glen and I feel drawn to this place. There by the side of a beautiful tree that has pink flowers growing at it's base is a small fariy playing a harp. I recognize the music as Celtic. I love that music and play it all the time. I sit down in front of this young fairy as she continues to play. I close my eyes and can feel peace coming over me with each note she plays. Then she stops and looks at me. She says so sweetly, you have come here seeking me haven't you? I shake my head, and say,"No, I just hoped to meet one of you today and talk. I am having such a bad day today."

"I know," said the fairy. My name is Faith. My job is to help people keep their faith in all they believe in as true. You are sad. You have a friend that is very ill and you haven't heard anything about your friend, have you?"

"No, I haven't," I said. "I had hoped that by now someone would have contacted me and let me know what is happening and if my friend will be ok, but no one has done this, I feel so helpless. I don't know what to do. All I can do is pray for my friend and hope that all my prayers are heard."

"Oh! but your prayers are heard," she said. That is why you have been directed here to me." " I have been waiting for you all morning." She smiled. "You see, you must have faith in your prayers and faith that all will be done to help your friend get better. Just keep praying and sending out all your good thoughts to this friend, and he will know that you are thinking of him." "I know sometimes it can be hard to have faith, but I know that you have alot of faith and that you believe in prayer, and you are right to feel this way. Prayer can make a sick person stronger and able to get well faster. Do not give up that faith that you have. Hang on Janice, I know sometimes it feels like your prayers aren't heard, but each and everyones are heard and answered."

I closed my eyes for a moment because I could feel tears forming in the corner of my eyes. I opened them and Faith was gone. I could feel the tears slip down my face as I sat their and said a prayer for my dear friend. 

I got up and brushed myself off and slowly walked out of the glen and back to  my home. Hoping that maybe, just maybe their would be a message saying that all was well and that my friend was on the mend. I could feel saddness envelope me as I walked, but I am going to try very hard to keep my faith that all will be well.

Faries of the Flowers

What a beautiful day. The sun is shinning and it is so nice and warm out. I thought I would take a book and go down by the water that is on the end of the glen and lie on a blanket and read for awhile. When I had settled down and was deep into my book I noticed out of the corner of my eye that there were two faries carrying large tulips in their hands and they seeme to be sloshing water as they went into the glen.  My curiousity got the best of me and I got up and followed them into the glen. There I saw that they had gone to a bunch of lovely flowers and that they were pouring the water on the roots of the flower. The poor flower was drooping down and when it got the water it was like magic. It started to stand taller and didn't droop anymore. The two faries smiled at each other and turned to go back and get more water when they spotted me standing there. They looked startled and I hestitally explained that I was a friend and the owner of the glen that they lived in and no harm would come to them. I asked them their names and the one dressed in blue said that she was Bluebell, how appropriate a name. the one in pink said that she was Lily. They explained to me that this was their job to keep the flowers looking their best. Because of the lack of rain and the heat some of the flowers in the glen needed special attention today. How lovely they both looked as they smiled at me. I asked if I could help them in anyway, and they said yes if I really wanted to I could. They each had a tulip to carry water in , but what could I use? Then I remembered that I had brought a bottle of water with me in case I got thirsty while I was reading my book. So I went and got that bottle and used it to water a few of the flowers that Bluebell and Lily said needed the moisture the most. The three of us spent about an hour going back and forth watering the flowers that were so thirsty and like magic each one we watered started to stand taller and drooped no more. I never knew that faries had charge of taking care of the flowers in the glen. Bluebell and Lily told me that each day the Farie Princess gave different jobs to all of the faries under her care. This way each got to do something different and each got a chance to do the really nice jobs and no one person had to do all the hard ones all of the time. Of course, the men faries had the harder jobs, because they were much stronger and able to handle them better. This surprised me because I don't think anyone really knew that faires did work everyday. We talked for the whole time we worked and they thanked me for my help before they left to return back to there homes in the glen.  I was hoping that they would tell me more about how they lived and what they do and I had a million questions to ask them, but I know that they will be here a long time, so my questions can wait. I am sure in time they will all be answered. I wonder if anyone else has any questions they would like answered about the faries in the glen.

STROLLING IN THE GLENN

Today I went for a stroll in the glen. It was so hot, I was wiping my face with a wet hankie every few minutes. I thought that if I went into the forest at the end of the glen there would be shade and it might even be cooler. As I walked , I heard some giggling and laughing coming from the corner of the forest. I was curious, and so I went there. I smiled as I came upon three small delicate faries sitting on the edge of a bird feeder splashing their tiny feet in the water and splashing each other with the water and having a great time. They spotted me and just smiled and continued their fun. I looked closer and they all must have had some signal because all of a sudden they splashed me . I laughed out loud. How nice and cool it felt. I reached in and cupped my hand and poured the water over one of the faries gently like a spring shower I let the water trickle between my fingers so that it wouldn't hurt her. The others said, "me too, me too" So I did each fariey in turn and they all loved the light shower and I enjoyed being there with them. It was cooler in this shaded area and we talked and played for a long time. They said that they were sisters and each had an important job. I asked them what their jobs were. Well, one was hope, and one was charity, and one was compassion. I told them that I thought these were very hard jobs to do every day. They agreed. But they all said that they felt it an honor that they were picked to watch over these important jobs.  Hope said that she traveled far and wide to make sure that no one gave up on themselves and that she was their inner voice telling them to go on and help them to keep their faith in themselves.  Charity told me that their were so many people that had to learn this trate that she was busy most of the time. People forget that their fortune is not held by all and that sometimes we must show charity toward others and help them get back on their own feet. Compassion was a little sad and that is why they had brought her here today to play and make her smile and be happy. She said that their were so many people out in this world that had no compassion for others and pretended that all was well and so many didn't want to be bothered with helping their fellow man. No mercy for the one being oppressed and held down by circumstances beyond their control. She said that it was the hardest job of all. When you asked people to give of themselves many can't or won't. Inever realized that these three slight young faries had such important things to do in their lives. They told me that they weren't the only ones that had these jobs. There were many many of them encircling the world trying to fulfill their destinys and helping mankind. I was dumfounded. I thought all faries did all day was play and sing and laugh in the glen.  They all looked at me and shook their heads and said, "No , there is much more that we do than that. Our Fairey Princess is very careful and keeps track of all that is done and how progress is made. She holds audiences every day , and if we have a bad problem, we can go to her and she will do all she can to help make things right again.  What a wonderful revelation. It was getting cooler, so I said goodbye and started back for home before it got too dark to see through the forest.   How wonderful that these faries live in my glen.

NEW ENCOUNTER

It is early in the morning and I have decided to walk down to the glen by way of the shore that is just a short distance from where the glen ends and the forest begins. I was daydreaming as I gazed out at the beautiful sunrise and the waves gently lapping unto the shore and receding back. I didn't notice her right away. When I did I just stopped and looked at her in awe. How beautiful she was sitting on a rock in the shallow water and softly singing a tune I had never heard before. She was so quiet that it was hard to make out the words, but she had a grace and beauty that were unparralled. Her wings were a glossomer blue and reflected off the water in all different shades that glimmered and glowed as they slowly moved back and forth as she sat and strummed some sort of insturment that looked like a very tiny harp. How relaxing the sound of this harp and her angelic voice made me feel. She saw me and I was afarid that she would be frightened, but she wasn't afraid at all. She smiled at me and stopped playing .  I told her my name was Janice and that I owned the glen and she just nodded and then she spoke. She said,"My name is Lifestar, I am the keeper of all the records of births and joinings of the fairies." I must have looked surprised because she giggled and said that faires were born and fell in love just as humans do. How did I think that faries came to be and why wouldn't they share in this wonderous feeling of love that all have to share? She smiled at me. I hadn't really thought about that. But she was right. Just because they were fairies didn't mean that they didn't have alot of the feelings that others would have. How silly of me, I thought, to think that humans are the only ones that had feelings. She said that the only difference between human feelings and  a fairies were that they had no anger, hate, jeolousy, only love to share with each other and caring. That faries were there long before man and will be there long after man has gone from this world. She talked to me with all the wisdom of a very ancient soul. As if she had lived for a very long time and had seen so much that I couldn't comprehend. These faries in my glen were no ordinary  faries, they seemed so magical and so wise. I had to leave and as I did so I turned and Lifestar was gone. But as I walked back to my home to start my day I could here the faint sound of a harp playing somewhere in the glen. I smiled. What a wonderful and pleasant way to start my day. I will be sure to walk along the shore as often as I can before I have to begin my day.

PRINCESS OF THE FAIRIES

 

My friends Jo and Yasmine have arrived and I have explained the little I know about meeting the Fairy Princess tonight. I have told them to just let the Fairies decide all that is to take place and to be very careful as it is so late and dark. Not to hurt anyone there as they are small and delicate.  We went to the glen as the sun was setting. The glen was a little dark as we entered single file with me in the lead. I stopped as I entered the glen with a look of astonished surprise on my face. I turned and Jo and Yasmine had stopped to and were starring ahead as I was into the center of the glen. All around and in every tree, bush and on every leaf were beautiful fairies holding a wand that emitted a bright white light. It was like looking at millions of stars in the night sky. How wondrous a sight as I smiled at Jo and Yasmine. They were in awe to of this magnificent view. The quiet chatter of the fairies could be heard as they winged back and forth leading the way for us to the center of the glen where a silken tall chair covered with precious stones set on top of a tree stump that had been decorated with many different kinds of wild flowers found throughout this forest and glen. How lovely it all looked to us. Lu came forward and I introduced my friends Jo and Yasmine to her. She smiled and said to follow her. On the ground before this tree stump had been laid a comfortable layer of leaves and flowers. Lu told us to sit down and that the Fairy Princess would be coming soon. As we sat and quietly looked around many of the fairy people winged forward and it seemed like a dance with their wands of light streaking up and down and all around. They were able to make them into different colors and we all sat as if transfixed as rainbows of color passed before our eyes. All different shades of blues, greens, yellow, reds, purple, pink, lavender, more colors than we could count. A symphony of lights and the sounds of tiny wings fluttering in the night. Then suddenly as it had started the light show ended and a hush came over the glen. Only a soft muttering of voices could be heard saying she is here, she is here. Lu came to be by my side as the most beautiful fairy I have ever seen appeared. She was a little taller than the rest, with long flowing hair of red. Her wings were glowing a flaming red and their bright light was so beautiful we were transfixed by this glorious sight.A flowing silky gown of red that sparkled in the night. She slowly flew to the chair and stood for a few moments and looked at us as we sat in stunned silence. Then she smiled as I had unconscionably put out my hand and she nodded her head and gently landed in my palm. Not a sound could be heard in the glen except for the quiet flutter of many small wings as other fairies approached their Princess as she stood in my hand smiling at me. Finally she spoke in a sweet melodious voice. “I am the Princess of the fairies, and I have come especially to meet you tonight to thank you for letting my clan, my family live in this beautiful glen.” “You must promise not to tell anyone we are here as they will come and we will have to flee and find another safe place to live.” “Can you do this for us?’ she asked. I nodded my head and said yes. That none here would ever tell of what they have seen this night. She looked at Jo and Yasmine and asked them the same question. They both agreed that no one would ever know of this magical place from any of us. Then the Princess held out her small hand and another fairy placed a gold wand in it and it started to glow brighter and brighter, until it was blinding to our eyes. She came forward and touched the ring finger of each of our hands and magically a thin gold band appeared. It had two hands clasped together with a heart in between. I immediately recognized it and so did Jo and Yasmine as a claddagh. It glowed and felt warm as it adjusted to each of our fingers. What a beautiful gift .We all smiled at each other and thanked the Princess. Then she held her small hand up and instantly a small prayer box appeared... It was made of sterling silver and embossed with a claddagh on it. The princess put it into my hand. It was so very small. Then she raised her hands for silence from all that were there as she started to speak to me. She said,” When you have need of help from above, write your prayer and place in this prayer box and it will be answered

. It may not be the answer that you are praying for, but it will in the end be the right answer that you need.” All I could do was nod my head, for I was so overwhelmed by these gifts. She also said,” If you should have need of us here for any reason, come in to the glen and rub that ring and we will know that you are here and Lu will come to you. Come and visit us often as we would like to get to know all about you and want you to learn about us too. “And with these final words the Fairy Princess lifted off my palm and with her other fairies flew into the forest in the glen. Jo, Yasmine and I just sat there for quite awhile not saying a word. Just enjoying the moment and looking at our rings and at my tiny prayer box. There were still fairies with wands of light waiting to show us out of the glen safely so we got up and followed them through the forest where they left us to continue with the moonlight to my home. What a magical night we all had.

 

Princess of the Faries

This afternoon I walked into the glenn and was greeted by Lu. I asked if I could bring two of my friends with me tonight into the glenn to meet the Fariey Princess. Lu smiled and said that would be fine. As long as they believed and were pure of heart and would not tell anyone about this glenn. I assured her that they were the best of people and that no one would ever know about this glenn from me or them. Again she smiled and said, then bring your friends and let them celebrate with you and all of our clan here in fariey land. Lu said that it will be a very special celebration because the Fariey Princess very seldom honors anyone. You have to be very special to have an audience with her because she has so many duties to perform for her fariey clan. I asked if I should bring some lights with me as it would be a bit dark and maybe we wouldnt be able to see. Lu just giggled and said no. Just come at twilight and leave the rest to me.  I smiled   and said that I had to go but would be back with my friends tonight at twilight.

nervous walk in glenn

I have decided to take a stroll into the glenn tonight hoping to ease some of my nervousness at meeting the Fairy Princess tomorrow night. I hope that she likes me. I have heard that she is very wise and has magical powers. My new friend Lu said that she is very wise and kind and very independent. It is so beautiful here tonight as the moon shines down on the misty grass and all the flowers look like they have been bathed for the night sleep. Tiny drips of dew fall off them and it looks so peaceful and soothing in here tonight. I love this glenn. Aye, there is no other place on earth that is so at peace as this place. No one knows it is here but me, and now my new found friends. I don't see any of them around tonight, but it is quite late too. I best be getting back and just have to wait until tomorrow to come back at twilight. Good night I whisper to all my friends as I leave with a smile on my face.   Sweet dreams.

Morning Walk

This morning I went to the glenn to see my new found friends and learn more about them and let them learn about me. As I sat on that same rock the most beautiful fairy I have ever seen came and fluttered her wings in front of my face, but safely away. I smiled. I would never hurt anyone much less a defenseless small person like this fairy. She smiled back and slowly flew onto my open hand. She was so light It felt like a feather had landed and She tilted her pretty head and said hello. She said her name was Lu and put her pretty hand out for me to take. I told her my name was Janice and gently took her little hand in mine. How tiny it was. Like holding a tiny seed. How careful I must be with these new friends of mine, I thought. She noticed that I was looking at her rainbow colored wings and the way the sunlight made them change colors right before your eyes. She asked if I would like to touch them, but to be careful because they are the only ones she will ever have. I slowly reached one finger to her wing and gently felt this beautiful silky,tiny wing. How thin and delicate they are. I was so afarid to damage them, but she only smiled and said that although they looked delicate and fragile, they were quite strong because they had to beable to hold up to the weather and not break or rip. So gently she spoke  it was hard to hear her soft voice and with her Irish brouge it sounded so soothing and nice. I had to tell her to slow down talking because I was not used to hearing her speak.  She smiled and walked up my arm, while I used my other hand to make sure she didn't fall down. Although I shouldn't have worried , after all she does have wings.   Then she told me that the Farie Princess wanted to meet me tomorrow in this glen and to come back at twilight tomorrow for this meeting. She said that the Farie Princess was their leader and very wise and had ancient wisdom from all faries before her and that she felt it was time to meet this mortal that was kind enough to let her people stay here to live in this protected glenn. Oh! I can't wait until tomorrow. Can you??????????
