Fairies come in all sizes from ones so small that they could fit on the top of a pin to very large Deva’s that direct the energies of nature and oversee the lesser fairies under their care.
A fascinating being that is part of the fairy or elemental kingdom are tree spirits. Yes, for all you tree huggers your are hugging a tree spirit. When inside of the tree they look after the tree and control the trees energies. And, yes I did say when they are inside the tree, Tree spirits come out of their tree at night. I think that is one reason many people feel afraid at night in the forest is because a person feels surrounded by unseen beings and they are.
I could go on and on about fairies but I hope I have inspired you to learn more about them. My favorite book on fairies is “The Real World of Fairies” by Dora van Gelder another book is “Seeking Faery” by Emily Carding. While I prefer Real World of the Fairies as the description of the fairies are accurate (as also seen by my son). Seeking Faery gives you insight on how to connect with the fairy kingdom.
As I close my fairy articles I am watching one run across the floor.
