German Fae: Elves

Eleves, also elf and aelf, are a very widely known creature. They have appeared in books, movies, folklore, and so on. They have been portrayed as very pale people, which are a little shorter than the average humans, and pointed ears.

Their hair and skin range from pale to dark, and they do have pointy ears. I dont know if this is correct, this is just what i think, but i think people can get such a accurate look at elves, because elves are probably one of the magick creatures that are very clost to humans.

Eleves have been mistaken, and called faeries at one point, and they do have many similarities. Eleves like hard work and neatness, and they are attracted to place that work efficently, like good family households. They have also been known to have magick abilities. They are very close to nature, and take care of the trees and there surroundings, sometimes even living in them.

I couldn’t get much on elves, i looked, and looked, but i couldnt find anything. T~T

There is a link here:

I could not find a lot on elves. Ugh

Type of Fae: Water Fae: Mermaids

Mermaids and Mermen are known to have the upper body of a human and the lower body of a fish, much like a dolphin. They can be found under the sea, in lakes, ponds, or rivers (sometimes). Any body of water really.

While not much is known about Mermen, Mermaids are a lot more….friendly….

Mermaids are known to lure sailors to there deaths with there beautiful, melodic voices; while other stories say they drag men down to underwater kingdoms, frogetting they can not breathe underwater. That’s why so many people are scared of them. But, although everyone has there own opinions, i dont think there is anything to be scared of.

The Merfolk, usually spend most time underwater, thats why there are very few sightings. But there is one video right here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNb0K_KVpJk


In this video, the man explains exactly what happened. And how he explains it, is very accurately correct. I dont exactly remember, if it was a comment, or he said it in the video, but in the video the tails of the mermaids are nothing i have ever seen. They aren’t tails that humans have artificially made over the years, the tails are to thin for human legs to fit in there. And the body structures are to thin, and wide.

It is proof, and i believe this man caught mermaids on camera.

So, merfolk usually spend time in the water, but in the most secluded areas of rocky shores or islands, they can be found on the rocks tanning. They can also be found by waterfalls, in the deepest parts of the jungles. Places no one really dares to go.

I hoped you liked this entry! I will have more on the different types of water fae all this summer!!! :D

Faerie Ring

Faerie ring, or faerie circle, is something that many people do not know about, and may see throughout there day and not even know what there looking at.
A faerie ring is usally a circle of mushrooms, in a meadow, or in a forest, honestly anywhere with a healthy eco-system.

These circles have been told in stories where faeries, or other magick beings, such as elves, dance around them all night under the moonlight. They say that faerie rings can also open passage ways to another “dimension.” Such as faerie kingdoms, or the otherworld.

I believe in the fae, i believe i am one, but this is why i warn you severly. For centuries it has always been said that when you step into a faerie ring, there is a chance you will be sent to another world. But when people see a ring of mushrooms (and if they have heard of the stories) they dont take it seriously, and there is one thing many people do not know. If you do get sent to another world, there is a good chance you are never coming back.

If you want more information, here is a link:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairy_ring

Yes, again, its wikipedia, but i searched and there weren’t any other websites i could find that offered a good amount of correct information.

"If you see a faery ring
In a field of grass,
Very lightly step around,
Tiptoe as you pass;
Last night faeries frolicked there,
                      And they're sleeping somewhere near."               

                          ~William Shakespeare

Type of Fae: Irish Fae: Leprechauns

Here is another type of fae, a irish faerie. This irish faerie, is of course probably the most well known, a Leprechaun! The name Leprechaun comes from the irish name leath bhrogan meaning shoemaker.

Leprechaun’s are seen by humans once and a while, and are usually described to be dressed in nice, presentable old-fashioned clothes (usually the color green), a red cap, a apron, and shoes. They usually like to aid humans in small labor, and make shoes for elves, but only one shoe. Never a pair.

One thing you dont want to do is mistake Leprechauns for Cluricauns. Cluricauns, while part of the Leprechaun family, are tricksters. They like to steal, and cause chaos. As well as raiding wine cellars, and riding sheeps in the night.

One popular belief is that Leprechauns hold a treasure or “pot of gold” and if you catch one you get to have the treasure, but this task is very difficult to complete.

Here is a link were you can read everything on Leprechauns and more Irish Fae, i will be posting more about them soon:

I thought this would be cool since its March, and of course St. Patricks Day :)  Hope you like this blog post!!!

How To Attract Pixies

Pixies are a very kind, and caring. But don’t be fooled, they can be very sneaky, and mischevous when they want to be. But that just makes it all the more fun (i have a weird mind, but i dont care).
If you’d like to attract pixies to your house, or your garden then here are some tips:
If you want to attract them to your garden (i recomend you attract them to your garden rather than your house):

• Plant lots of flowers
• Set out fresh buiscuts with honey, warm milk (leave the milk in a little cup please), or fresh baked sugar cookies :3 (Yummy!)
• You can also go sit outside some place you feel comfy (bring a blanket if you want) and just draw, paint, sing a song, play an instrument, sing a song while you draw. Anything artsy-like. ^_^

If you want to attract them to your house:

• You can set little flower baskets on your window sills (this would be good if your a teen and your parents dont except your beliefs or you think they probably wont. And remember to keep the flowers healthy!)
• You can probably set the biscuts, or cookies (whichever you chose to give) on a little cloth or napkin and place it in the basket
• I’d also say that you should keep your room clean, and your house as well

So this is some pretty basic information on how to attract pixies. Another thing you might want to do is make a faery house. These houses are usually like a bit bigger than a normal sized bird house (but you can make it however big you want).

And they should probably be placed outside in gardens, were it’s surrounded by nature. (NOTE: faery house’s would be best if they are made out of actual things from nature or little knik knaks) I mean i made my bed out of one of my families old Zune (im an iPod lover, case was my sis’s) cases, and i made the pillow, blanket, and stuffing by myself. And its so cute!

And please dont get discouraged if you dont see them a few days after you start leaving little offerings, because pixies judge to see if you can be trusted. Sometimes it takes months, but you’ll start to see things dont worry.

One last thing i have to warn you about are mushroom circles, or “faerie circles”. These are great, it means the faeries probably really like your garden and have opened a path to the otherworld there. But even though it’s tempting to see were that path will lead you, there is a good chance you will never make it back to the human world.

Fae

Fae, faerie, faery, fey, fay. There are a millions ways to spell it, but they all fall under the same topic, Fae. I myself am a faerie, and i have to warn you right now there are many MANY diffrent kinds of fae. And its very confusing, so please try to hang on here.

First thing is, just because something is called "Fae" doesn't mean they are the actual winged kind creature everyone always thinks they are.

"Fae" is the name for millions of categories of creatures. Fae range all the way from the regular faerie (the winged creature) to gnomes or goblines. By me saying this, you can tell how big the range of speices that are listed as Fae are.

I said that wikipedia is NOT good, but this page will give you a lot of information about faeries. This one page gives you info on faeries (the winged creature) not mermaids, dryrads, or naiads.

So here is the link:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairy

It covers almost everything on faeries. It even covers religion, and what people believe. Most people say that faeries are not in the catholic religion, this is were they're wrong. Faeries are believed to be Demoted Angels. They are to bad for heaven, yet to good for hell. So, they get stuck on earth, and this is were the legends cam from about faeries being so close to nature. Because when the faeries got trapped on earth, they took care of nature and "became one with it."

This blog entry is sort of like a crash course, because there is a lot, and i mean A LOT of information if you want to cover all of the Fae categories. And this is what im going to do, if anyone has any questions: What are the other types of Fae? Can you go a little more into detail? A little more into the magickal explanation?

Yes, i'd love to answer any questions, but you have to ask them. ^ _ ^ Any questions, please comment, and i will have a entry answering your questions soon. :)

Auras!

Auras are the electromagnetic feilds that surround every organism in the Universe. Although auras are everywhere most people think they are only on the human body, but as said auras are on every organism so they surround the human body as well. The aura that surrounds a person can be called a Human Energy Feild (HEF). Auras are invisible energy felids in the shape of a oval, that are usually called "auric egg" and this egg goes out at least 2 to 3 feet from the human body.

Auras are said to have 7 layers to match with the 7 chakras. Since auras are surrounding our bodies they can reflect our emotions and even shape who we are and what we do. Mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

Ok yes, i wanted to make a giant blog about this, but i was reading about it and it started to become very confusing. So here is what im going to do.

I'm going to post some links. (ATTENTION: The links that are given to you in this entry are not from me, all credit goes to Sunbunny (43things name Goldenangelgirl))

Here are the links:

http://www.healingthroughunderstanding.com/auras.htm

http://www.reiki-for-holistic-health.com/auracolormeanings.html

http://www.thiaoouba.com/seeau.htm

I find the first link to be the least confusing.

Now i'm going to make a picture (just click on it to make it bigger cause the words are really small):



Well, thats all i have for you on Auras! Please comment! Till next time!

Bye!

Demons

Demons, daemon, or daimon are found in religion, mythology, and folklore. Demons are described as supernatural beings that have fallen from heaven. This description turning into the name "Fallen Angels."

Demons have many forms, they may be in the shape of mist or a dark cloud. All demons have there true form, but when they are around humans they will usually keep to the shadows. One talent that demons have is the art of possesion.

Demonic possesion is when a demon takes over a human body. When one is possesed they may go through memory loss, convulsions, and fainting. When someone is possesed they have no control and aren't able to do anything. Usually when a demon posses a life form it's strength goes with it, so the subject that has been possesed will have the strength, knowledge, and power of the demon that possesed it. Other ways to know if one is possesed is access to hidden knowledge, new ability to speak foreign languages, and scratches or bite marks (injuries that you have no idea how you got them).

When one is possesed the most known way of seperating a demon from the one possesed is excorsism. But (and since the term "impossible" doesnt really apply to use) the best way to kill a demon one-on-one is very tricky.

Now, i dont exactly know how to kill a demon so any comments would be great. But if the demon decided to fight you in its true form, any weapon would basically work out fine. The best weapon to use varies on the type of demon you are facing, but my personal favorite is a katana (samuria sword). But i also favor daggers, they can be very small but they are some daggers as long as your forearm.

Another, and best, way to kill a demon is magic. But you must be careful of what type of magick you use. You can use pure magick (also known as white magic i think). Pure magick has no evil in it and demons can not twist it to use it for themselves. Another magic you can use is light magick (i like to call it this). I think light magick is any type of magic that may give of a light. But dont think it can be any type of magick that gives off light. Probably the most powerful light magick uses star, sun, and moon light. These are three sorces that give off the most light and are the purest.

But there is one magick that you must always remember when you fight with the dark forces. It is the magick that lies in your heart! The greatest magick anyone could ever hold, the magick that comes from your heart is not formed by just you alone. It is formed with love, friendship, and family! That is one thing you must always remember, because no matter what happens you can always find magick in your heart, because that is were it lies. That is were it comes from, never forgot your friends. NO. Your family, because they will always be there for you no matter how tough it gets, remeber what is in your heart.
