Do you believe in fairies?

I think again I am not crazy.Fairies I think are real.Well, what do you think Thanks.

Well... anyone who thinks they are real is slightly bonkers, but that's not to say that it's impossible.

There are many strange things in this world, many unexplainable, but I don't think faries are one of them.

I have to say, if I was going to extend my relms of belief it wou;dnt really be to fairies I'm, afraid. What makes you believe in them?

"In this life we believe what we want to believe" - I quote Shaggy track 7.

Nothing to do with fairies other than all beliefs are the same from religion to fairies!

Every body is entitled to their own belief and opinion.

My Nana claimed to talk to fairies at the bottom of her garden and on several occasions asked me if I could see them, I couldn't but she could - this lady could complete the mail crossword everyday and yet when she held my daughter she asked who she was. Draw your own conclusions!

Would be great if I could see fairies. :)

Assuming fairies were real, what do they do? Do they have magical powers or do they just look pretty (if you can see them)?

I am reading an amazing book to do with channelling, it is a very easy to read book, but one interesting thing that I read is that the spirits come back as anything or person that would make us feel comfortable with them, so in other words if you like cats a spirit may contact as a cat and it mentioned fairies too, they can visit in whatever guise they want, this is food for thought. Take care, love and peace anne x

Think about life no

If you are truly interested in fairies go outside to a garden of sorts and sit there for a few hours. Fairies may be nature's way of showing you the life inside all things. There is also a great book called The Magic of Findhorn. Findhorn was a man who stepped onto a land full of rocky, unfertile soil and through the help of the land's fairies placed the right amendments in the soil and grew produce and other plants with extraordinary sizes and shapes.

I don't believe in fairies.
I wish I was a fairy though.
I think they are beautiful characters.

Try leaving offerings of blackberry wine with bits of cake. They just drink/eat the essence of the offerings. By doing this gesture. You acknowledge their presence. In time they surprise you by leaving gifts of shells,feathers or rocks. Should you find your gifts. Display them in a sealed jar outside for them to see. That creates a friendship between you and them. To see an animal eating the offerings is a good sign. Hope this helps you to see them!

Use your common sense. How is it possible for fairies to exsist

It is my personal beliefe that fairies could very possibly exist. Many have a belief in ghosts and angels (I include myself in that).. so if fairies are intended to be natures spirit then why can't they exist. Though most fairy believers have their own religion around it, I am a Christian. I devote my life to my God which typically would "contradict" but God is a very BIG God... I have a fascination with fairies and I know that if God WANTED to creat them, even if he didn't create them with magic but only beauty.. then who's to say they can't exist. I hope they do. People can watch ghost stories on the discovery channel and begging to believe.. well do you know how many story clippings and books I own of other people's stories of their believing encounters with fairies, gnomes, boggarts and elves? So the mystery hold just as well as ghosts and angels. It all comes to this...

Who are we to say it can't be?

As a Celtic Wiccan it's almost required for me to believe in Faeries. However, I will say that they are nothing like Tinkerbell or any other popular culture figure that is supposed to be a Faery.

I honestly do believe in faeries. I have never seen one, but I know many people that say they have. And I think they could exist. It's all a matter of what you believe in.

Jamm if you don't mind tell me what a fairy looks like I would love to know:confused: cause once you hear the word fairy you automatically think about walt disney and tinkerbell

That could be a hard one Lighterr. See, you can't "see" faeries if they're on this plane (earth). They like to hang out in gardens and lush fields and such, so you may catch a glimpse of them, such as sparkles or many tiny flashes of light but you won't get to see them up close. The only way to see one up close is to either scry or use one of the many rituals we have in Wicca to visit their realm.

Wow that is interesting, so you rituals allow you to elevate to different planes, do you go into a trance or an altered state of consciousness to gain access to these planes?

Yes. You can't physically journey to another plane of existence... though that would be amazing :). But yes, the ritual allows you to enter an altered state of consciousness that shifts your brain waves to another level and allows the practitioner to travel astrally to another plane. Your body is still present on Earth, but your mind is elsewhere... at least that's what we believe.

My beliefs are somewhat similar except we envision our human selves in the new world, but or body is still present of earth. My beliefs says that we can get to these elevated levels of consciousness and perform mericle through deep meditation.

Interesting. I would love to hear more about your belief system.

I am a kabbalist, we believe that the world we live in is the lowest level of existence aka malchut.

view the link below it will tell you about the dimension (worlds) that we meditate to tap into so we can have things materialize in the world in which we live it, tapping into these worlds can allow us to change things in the unseen worlds and alter our destinies in this world.

Fascinating. Can I ask you a question? I don't want you to be offended by this but... do you think Madonna is a real Kabbahlist?

I believe she has been the public figure that has catapolted kaballah into mainstream and definitely addind to it's popularity. But I really can't judge madonna cause I don't know her:confused:. I really don't know what's inside her mind and heart and what type of relationship she has established with the creator. So I'm sorry but I really can't ansewer that question.:o

Haha, it's OK.

Faeries are so complex. You're not crazy. They're not something you can "believe in." That's like saying you don't believe in basketball...

I once had a faerie tell me her name was Tian Tang. I later looked it up on the internet and found that it means "heaven" in Chinese. That was one of many experiences that made me realize I wasn't crazy for "believing."

Interesting experience. How did you meet this Faerie? Did you journey to their realm or did you call upon them using green magic?

Actually, I had been very down one night, and was spontaneously approached by what I thought was my imagination. At that point I had been studying faeries for a while and magickal phenomena for much longer, and had been in frequent contact with a spiritual guardian being. Perhaps my interpretation of the meeting is still clouded, but the faerie was clothed in blue, or perhaps blue-skinned, and showed me a very toothy smile which immediately got me back on my feet.

I went as if to go to bed, thinking nothing of it, and heard her chirp her name in a sweet voice inside my head. I spelled it "Tien tang" based on the way I heard it, but on a Google search my spelling was corrected and I was stunned.

I was really inspired by the spontaneous experience, and Tian Tang "shadowed" me for another day or two. With her permission (using a pendulum to ask a yes/no question), I drew a picture of the vague image my mind had of her. It turned out stunningly beautiful, in my own opinion, and even though I really can't say, I attribute it in my imagination to "trance drawing," where an unearthly individual influences the sway of your hand during writing or drawing. ;)

I hadn't called upon faeries by the time I met Tian Tang, though I had been interested in meeting one, and crafted a homemade "faerie dust" mix of corn starch, glitter, and essential oils. I have a terrible third eye, so I can't guarantee any of my experiences with her, but I think she was drawn to the wooden box where I kept the dust, if even because I marked it as a gift to any visiting faeries.

Wow. I envy you. Only time a Faerie had ever approached me is if I journeyed to their realm or summoned their aid for a ritual (usually on Litha or Beltaine). Interesting that you met her, that's a wonderful experience. Don't ever forget it.

Yes, I feel very blessed. I've never been able to successfully visit their world to meet them, so it was an especially exciting experience.

You should go. It is a wonderful place, very beautiful. Imagine the world today, without technology or pollution or anything "man made". That's pretty much what the Faerie realm looks like. 100% nature. Very beautiful. :)

I believe.

I definitely believe in fairies and wish to meet one one day. I also started getting intrested in the wicca religion. I bought a few books for solitary wiccans. After christmas I will buy supplies, but right now got to get a couch for mom and a laptop as my bros christmas present.

I'm Irish and although I don't really believe in them I won't even touch a fairy tree... there's one in my friends garden and he won't go near it either... farmers often won't remove them from their farms instead they go around them.

Its part of our cultural heritage to have these ideas and yet they may simply be that.. ideas which are so ingrained in us that we don't really care about them till we have to deal with them then we get quite superstitious

I truly doubt that there are any fairies on this planet, and yet again there may be other life out there with similar characteristics.

Fairies are real some are kid shape some are little and some are real Gnomes. Gnomes,Dwarves,Elves are all kinds of fairies. Fairies created Magic, Not Satan !

Fairies are in fact real. They are all good. They is no such thing as evil fairies. But there are fairies that are corrupted and just roam around with no mind in rubbish places they look just like little goblins. Fairies can do magic but do not do it to attack people they do it for rather to make people happy in nice and sunny beautiful. If so how beautiful is your garden as so it is beautiful your fairy is. Fairies live in Gardens and at night they enter trees. Fairies include Gnomes,Elves,Goblins.

I Want to see a fairy when summer comes around I am going on a mission to find a fairy :)
