I imagine that many of you out there have some experience with this population, and I hope you will share. I have a connection to the Fae through one of my ancestral lines, which is lovely. And, recently, I felt I was being “tapped” by the little people of Japan. These beings are featured in Ainu mythology and are known as the Koropokkuru, I’ve learned.
Oftentimes, I just sense energy – I don’t necessarily see sharply delineated humanoid figures. Anyway, they keep cropping up.
John Lockley, in his book Leopard Warrior, says that little people in all cultures have important teachings for humanity. Of course, they are featured in a lot of old stories…but maybe they are interested in coming forward in new ways. Maybe they would like to be *brought* forward by those of us who are able to tune into their message. I imagine that the humor and playfulness of the little people could be channeled into various forms of creative expression. If you’re doing something like this, what kind of audience are you attracting? What would you say are the benefits to the human community? -
Well, it’s time to update my question. Have all the classes of faeries been identified? I have not encountered the “bigfoot” type of faery yet, but I have had iridescent beings appear – helpful ones – that I thought were faeries. (I described these as poppets when talking with a friend.) I have seen iridescent angels, too, for what that is worth. Colors tend to be dark like the inside of an abalone shell…
John Lockley has clarified that sometimes plant spirits come to us in the form of little people. This was helpful to learn!
Maybe some of you would like to discuss plant spirit communication or the faeries or both. Faeries tend to be large, I’ve learned, but clearly small entities can also show up with messages. (At least, they do to me.)

Hello Loren, I can share my own experiences and hopefully you are still getting notifications on this post.
I have a budding relationship with a group of spirits who call themselves the Kontomblé. This is the name they are known by in some West African countries. My first experience with them was a “tapping” as you describe in your first post. However, the tapping for me became more like pokes and pulls as I tried to sleep. It was intrusive at times. Night time is a more active time for them so meeting them in darkness is best.
You mentioned John Lockley in an earlier post. He is correct in that he was taught of how plant spirits also appear as “little people”. I have a relationship with some nature spirits who only appear as as younger female-presenting spirits. However, their stature has been very different for me than the Kontomblé. I am on my knees on the floor when the Kontomblé appear so that I look up to them. Plant spirits have not appeared to me in the same stature but this is only my experience.
Your mention of the spirits which may be native to Japan is very helpful for me. One group of “little people” spirits I assumed were the Kontomblé are tied to a Korean spirit name that I have. When they introduced themselves to me in a dream, half of their name was Korean and the other half was Japanese. More for me to inquiry about from them so thank you for that info.
I do not yet work with these spirits for others. It has mainly been for my own development as a practitioner and being able to “see the unseen” for my work to come. I can recommend a practitioner with whom I have met and know many have worked with, if that is helpful: Liv Wheeler of Earth’s Amulet. She carries a respect for and deep relationship with the Kontomblé. Maybe she can help you in understanding them.

Hello Robert, it has been my experience that spirits make it known that they want to work with you or have worked with you indicating a past (often still existing) relationship. Without that existing partnership, you will need to court them which may open the door for/to an initiation. I’m not one who knowingly walks towards an initiation opportunity. They tend to be experiences that can bring you to your knees regardless of their amazing outcomes. If you have a trusted elder(s) in your tradition it may be helpful to reach out to them and inquiry.

Hi Denisha, Robert and Loren: Thank you for this interesting conversation. I just saw this book yesterday and am thinking of ordering it. Have any of you heard of it? It’s the Encyclopedia of Fairies in World Folklore and Mythology by Theresa Bane. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0786471115/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1
It’s not in the shamanic tradition or spiritual tradition, more “academic.” Do you think it would be helpful at all?
