Image
  Gangcanagh , means the'lover talker' . This is a male Irish faerie that is known for seducing women. They are thought to have a toxin in their skin that makes the humans they seduce  literally, addicted to them. The women seduced by this faery usually die from withdrawal, pinning away from their love of this amorous creature. Girls beware of the gangcanagh in your life. Nivi

Real faery encounter

Image
I found this story on the website realitywalker.com. It has a collection of encounters with other world beings. Reading it my dispel your scepticism about the fey. Is it a Fairy or is it a Faerie? My first encounter with a fairy was just off the local popular bridal way near where I used to live in County Durham between Rolands Gill and Medomsley. 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 into the wood by some fun nature spirits wanting to play or by Herne to be led to some interesting energy areas. On one such occasion I was led through the undergrowth until I emerged by a stream. There was a small overhanging tree on the other side which seemed to have some sort of being sitting in its central branches about two meters from the ground.( Image is copyright © Stephanie Pui Mun Law) How big are fairies and do they carry wands? As I got closer it resolved into a white creat...

Faery of the week - Succubus

Image
  Hi to all my followers, and thank you for your support. I decided it would be a good idea to post a faery of the week, to dispel all former, ideas that faeries are only small winged creatures. This week's faery is the all alluring succubus. According to medieval legend they are female dark faeries that appear in dreams, as a beautiful woman. They seduce men and by doing so steal life force until the man slowly weakens and eventually dies. A warning to all men, be wary of the enchantress in your dreams. Nivi

Faeries known as the sidhe are the little people or natural spirits. They are said to have lived in a paralell dimension to us. They are the faeries that are said to have lived in mounds, raths and stone circles in sacred places in Ireland. The word sidhe in itself means mound and the faeries are the Daoine Sidhe , the people of the mound. These faeries are divided into two groups solitary faeries and the trooping faeries who live in the mounds and come out in groups during 1st of May( Beltaine Eve ) and Halloween( Samhaim Eve ).

Hi, this is a sneak peek of my young adult novel, Awake. Story is about, an unqualified mage/witch living on the floating island of Chemmis (inhabited by fey and other mysterious creatures) , above Earth and unknown to most humans. Set in present day, her world starts to fall apart and she in thrown into a perilous quest to save her island and ultimately Earth. Hope you enjoy this. Awake: Chemmis 9995 ; Earth 2010 Prologue The problem with finding out who, you really are, is that you might not like what you find. That has always been my fear. I knew from the moment I could understand anything that things came to me. Bad things. Sometimes they came in the form of whispers, soft dark trickles in my ear. Sometimes they came in the form of shadows, a swish of darkness that I may have imagined pass by me, but I never imagined the feelings they gave me. Sometimes they came in the form of acts. Bad things I did, but could never understand why. Only thing I knew for certain was that if...

Y.B Yeats and Lady Gregory

A few weeks ago, I went to the Mitchell Library of Sydney to read the first edition of Yeat's book Fairy folk tails of the Irish peasantry, published 1888. It literary sent chills down my spine, my sister couldn't sleep that night. It's a collection of stories from the people living in small villages in Ireland and their encounters with the fair folk. And believe you me its convincing at times, there's a priest and several other valued community members that talk of there experiences. A copy of the book can be found at the Scared Texts website have a read, it makes you re-think what we think we know. Nivi http://www.sacred-texts.com/
