Welcome to Gaia! ::

Depends on what you mean by "faeries", really. Are we talking British-type creatures? Something more like land-wights? German elves?

Yuppers. I'm afraid I don't know too much about that whole wotsit, but you may want to look into the Tuatha de Dannan and various forms of Celtic polytheism.

I've done a bit of research in to the Tuatha de Dannan and that sort of thing, because I'd done a few reports for school on that sort of thing. I guess it's type to dig out my works cited pages and start researching again smile

And I'll be sure to be cautious, I always am. I've been warned quite a bit, but I have yet to see anything malicious. Mischievous, yes, but I guess I just haven't done anything too trying on the patience of whatever happens to be about.

Describing them is just a little difficult. I can get a set physical appearance in my mind's eye. Most of them, I can't tell how many, seem to be diminutive in size. They seem to have somewhat human features, in that they had two arms and two legs, and then the physical part stops there.

They seems sort of...personalized or domesticated in a way. Have you ever heard the saying that a person doesn't adopt a cat, a cat adopts a person? It kind of feels like that. But then again they could have simply been here all along, and I brought them out more by being kind. There's this private little area behind our garage near a rabbit hutch where I started leaving food after holidays, just as a little offering. After leaving food through the winter and spring, a blackberry bush sprung up in the spot where I left the food. I know that black berries are surely part of many different culture's lore, but I read somewhere that blackberries were supposed to be sacred to Celtic faeries, so it made me feel a little special to have the plant growing right where I had left little offerings to whatever sorts of nature spirits were roaming around.

Sorry that was a bit off topic sweatdrop

As far as describing their presence,,,,that's tricky, too. They're all so different from each other. Most feel kind or friendly, there have been a few naughty ones that I've had to ask to calm down, and I've never encountered any that were malicious or truly bad.

Oh yeah, hah. It's not as tricky with them. I know that the Goddess that I usually see in my mind's eye has dark hair and blue eyes, but I never can get a real grip on anything else about her. She always seems to be there when I make sudden realizations about important things. She seems very kind and happy most of the time, but I sense there is some side to her that is a bit...deeper and perhaps a little dark and carnal. The god looks pale with light hair and light eyes. Sometimes he appears to have antlers, sometimes he doesn't. He hasn't ever said or done much. Once I wondered if he was, or is related in some what, to Lugh, because somewhere it mentioned something about a white stag being associated with him, and I saw something about Lugh being called 'the bright one', but I can't tell for sure.

They appear to be consorts, rather than mother/son or sister/brother. I get this feeling because when they are both together that carnal side of her seems to come out. Her aura usually looks white or blue but when she's around him it's like there's this redish blackish light.

I have looked into Feri, and I found a page about them, and the woman who made the page listen some principals and beliefs from the path, and I couldn't agree with many of the points, so I didn't look any further into it after that.

Have you had a browse through Godchecker?

Well I looked into Lugh (and variations there upon) at least. And the Lugh on Godchecker doesn't seem much like the one on wikipedia, which I know is not a legit source for much. There were some things in common, but wikipedia had a huge long page.

Lug is just the same as Lugh. And for Lugus all it said was, 'He was basically just an excuse to have a festival in August.'.

So...the Lugh thing seems out the window now...
