Tom, very timely indeed. This past weekend, I finished a training with one who did your Celtic Shamanism program in the past, Gail Gulick, and we talked about the Fae and Sidh and did a Celtic journey as well. I have long been wanting to attend your two-year program, but you have this being gone for a year, ever year, thing going these days 😉
At any rate, on the last day, day five of the intensive, on the way there Peaceful, Easy, Feeling came on my iTouch. I almost always listen to non-lyrical music on days I will be in circle, but on this occasion, it just sounded so perfect.
And now your piece on Faerie.
A peaceful, easy, Faerie feeling with Tom on this beautiful Wednesday. Makes me yearn for the happy hills of Ireland.
Thank you for this 🙂
Beautiful article, Tom. It helps me see the true value of experiences I might otherwise not stop to notice. I have a brand new granddaughter and when I see her I feel a sense of delicate, precious beauty at least akin to what you mean by “faery.” Now that I have a word for it I’ll be alert for it elsewhere. What a gift! Love, Ellen Winner
Thank you for this beautiful article! Inspired by faerie I think.
Feeling enchanted reading this, just like faerie presence tend to disrupt my normal daily habits. I was knocked off my daily routine and roused into vibrant memories of recent encounters. Thank you for a great article.
Thanks for this reminder, Tom.
Thank you for writing this beautiful and very timely essay on the faerie.
I especially appreciate your observation that faerie is evolving. I have perceived this process as well.
Blessings to you,
I love this article as well Tom! I like the phrace fairie presence!! perfect especially how you describe it. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!
Good evening everyone
The Faerie are mentioned in the Koran, and there is a whole chapter called the Faerie.
I love it and love your article .
Thanx
Yogananda mentions faeries in Autobiography of a Yogi! Yogananda strengthens my connection to Spirit! I’ve been connecting to Mother Earth and the Fae are part of it! I recently learned to look at ME as a being! The Fae are real beings like us! Great article! Love and Light from Mystic Urban Shaman Rubykat
Thank you for the lovely article on the Fae. So timely considering my mission. I do so hope you can join us.
