My first encounter with a fairy
was just off the local popular bridal way. I had a period when I would jog about
a mile or so up the track in an attempt to get fit. Often however, I never made
the mile as I would either be dragged or drawn into the wood by some nature
spirit who wanted to play.
On one such occasion I was led
into the undergrowth until I emerged by a stream. There was a small overhanging
tree on the other side which seemed to have a Being sitting in its central
branches. As I got closer it resolved into a white winged creature holding a
long stick type thing which twinkled at one end. What confused me was that it
was quite big (about two feet tall (60cm)) and somewhat overweight. As I
believed that fairies were very small - say no more than six inches tall (15cm)
and slim this encounter caused me slight confusion. As did the fact that it
actually seemed to have some sort of magic wand. Communication went something
along the lines of 'Are you a fairy?' - 'Yes I'm a fairy' - 'Are you sure?
Aren't you too big' . . . . I don't think she was impressed with this exchange.
Fairies seem to enjoy confusing
me. On another walk I spotted a figure sitting in a similar looking tree (they
do seem to have a preference for a particular tree type). However as this Being
was about four feet tall and male it was very definitely not impressed with my
chat. 'Are you a fairy?' - 'Yes' - 'Well how come your wearing green? . . . . .
hey are you male? . . . . . I thought fairies were only female' - 'I AM A MALE
FAIRY'. I could just imagine him thinking - don't humans know anything?
At a certain point during my
encounters I realized that what I was seeing, was only what they wanted me to
see with respect to my understanding. I realized that different people would see
the same Being differently and that what they saw would be representative of
their own background, understanding and expectations.
So, with this in mind the next
time that I was out in the woods and felt the presence of a fairy it was my
intent to see it as it actually was rather than how it presented itself to me.
When I did this I saw a large amorphous white cloud over a group of trees, this
cloud is in reality what a fairy really is. As I tuned into a this cloud it
coalesced and flowed down becoming more concentrated and eventually presented
itself in front of me in the form of the fairy-tale fairy. She looked very
beautiful and was quite amused with our encounter. I felt privileged to be in
her presence, to see her as she really was and then to see her as she chooses to
be recognized.
When you are getting
information from spirit in whatever form it is presented to you, there is always
some feedback system at work. Spirit can only present you with information in a
form that is understandable to you. Unless we are willing to put down what we
think we know, our belief systems and so on then we will not get closer to how
things really are in this never mind other realities.
