This was clearly not a dragonfly. It looked like a little person with wings. It was bigger around than a dragonfly and was not shaped like a dragonfly. Also, I've never seen a dragonfly hovering like that. It would have been hovering with it's body vertical instead of horizontal. Maybe they do that, but I've never seen it. But again, it just didn't look like one at all, even the wings were different.

Why they're here I can't say, but I would love to talk to one to find out. Really I've always believed in creatures like that but still had a pinch of skepticism in my mind until I saw one. After that, I put all doubt aside about them and anything else that people dismiss. But I'd already had experiences with ghosts and possibly aliens so I don't know why I should have had doubt about faeries. Maybe I just needed to see one, and I did.

They could be here to heal the planet, it certainly needs it.

ok i started out thinking this was all a little over the top. but now so many of you believe in fairies i'm going to have to rethink this. i even asked a friend tonight on the phone if she ever heard of people believing in fairies. and in a very normal tone as if i had asked her if she ever heard of coca cola, she said "oh i believe in fairies...". i sure do WANT there to be fairies. and you SAW one? and you're sure it's not a dragonfly? i've seen big dragonflies. but they really don't look like fairies. hmmmmmmmm....so what's up with them? they hang around here to heal the earth like rebecca said???

I saw a faery once. I was at a retreat center in the middle of the woods, and they have a big lake. You can take boats out on the lake for fishing or whatever. Whenever I'm there, I take out a canoe and have some me time with nature. Once I was out in the canoe in an area that's away from the lodge and everything else. No one else was around. I was drifting along near the shore, about 10' out.

I was looking at all of the trees and plants and all of a sudden there it was. It flew up beside a tree, hovered there a minute, and flew off. I couldn't tell if it was male or female. It appeared to be about 3" or 4" tall but it was clearly a faery. It was hovering there vertically, with wings on it's back. Someone said it was probably a dragonfly but it was bigger around and was certainly not a dragonfly. The wings were also different and I've never seen a dragonfly fly like that either.

It was probably the most magickal experience I've ever had.

I have heard our "friends of the woodland realm" referred to as
"elementals"..I believe it was in the sufi tradition...why do they have
a hierarchy ...ie "queen" etc.?

faeries? really? well rebecca, you are the first person i have ever met who actually BELIEVED in faeries. i mean i love literary fairies and art fairies and even horton hears a who type fairies...but real ones that play pranks? oh my! i guess anything is possible! but why? why throw a penny down in the middle of the room? just cuz they can?

ok well i guess i have to be the first person to tell a bizarre story. this doesn't have everything to do with creativity, but it happened when i was teaching a music class. and i have NO idea what happened or what it meant. ...

i was having a regular lesson with my little music student. i had cleaned the living room that day, so i knew where everything was. that's important to the story. another important part of the story is that i had been looking for a penny to hold the screen door open that same weekend. and i didn't have one anywhere except one which was in the middle of the coffee table. ...

ok so she came in and was getting her violin out, and rosin'ing up her bow. i was sitting on the sofa. all of a sudden i heard a HUGE BANG and kerplop right in the middle of the floor onto the hardwood floor fell a penny. it was not something you couldn't notice. it was LOUD like it had falled from very high up. but where it fell, it couldn't have fallen off of anything. it was in the middle of the room. i didn't see if it was actually there, but i just knew something was there. i didn't want to look like a weirdo to the student, so i didn't comment on it.

so then she suddenly said , "ok lisa, when are you going to say something about that penny falling from the middle of the SKY!!! HELLO!?" and "i said i thought you might not have noticed!".."not NOTICED? it might as well have been a meteor!' she said. i said go look at it. so she did. a penny. heads up. neither of us could figure out where it came from. and the only penny i knew of in the room was sitting on the middle of the coffee table undisturbed. so we just continued on with the lesson, but to this day we both wonder what WAS that????

Hi Lisa. Thanks for inviting me to this topic. I'm comforted to know that I'm not the only who wakes at odd hours stirring about in the twilight. Not sure even why I wake up, other than to go "powder my nose", if you know what I mean. Then I just can't seem to get back into the slumber of rest. I don't have much to add at this time on the topic, but I'll be lurking about in it for sure to read the comments and responses.
