This is the most sincere and levelheaded take on the Fae I have ever seen. A lot of people want to act as an authority on the Fae and as if everyone else is wrong, meanwhile they only ever read about them and wouldn't dream of interacting with one. I like how you acknowledge that the folklore has been severely warped by the christianization of Europe. You don't go to either extreme, saying they're totally harmless or totally dangerous and I appreciate that a lot. Honestly everyone is going to see the fae through their own personal filter but I've had the best experiences when instead of listening to what other humans say I actually went out and had experiences and let the spirits and fae teach me about themselves. Also I've said "thank you" before and nothing happened! Imagine that!

You clearly know exactly what you are talking about. I have begun having experiences with fae. They started by coming into my dreams and meditations. Your experiences and thoughts are extremely helpful for me. My intuition about the “don’t eat their food or you can’t get out” thing is that it’s about magic mushrooms / psychedelics. Which would make a lot of sense if you think about it. They steal shit from me for sure. But they do give it back. They’re usually trying to get my attention when it happens.

@siofrasmagicalcove7293

The notion of the magic mushrooms might have some merit. I think it also relates to the idea that accepting anything from what the people thought were demons is a factor and then, of course, there's Persephone eating some pomegranate seeds in Hades and being forced to stay there for 6 or 9 months (depending on the version of the myth) so there is a historic foundation in other cultures of the restriction about eating food whilst in another realm.

I have just received a gift from the Fae. It hasn’t been the first time I have lots of experiences with them. But this was the most obvious gift I have ever gotten. (I found two acorns in my offering bowl today) I did leave them a gift as a thank you. I hope they like it because it was such a wonderful surprise that I needed to see. As it’s been a hard time for me recently, it really felt like a gift of support.

This world is not a dualism between angels and demons. Yes there is good and bad, but for the most part it seems to be just nature. Most beings aren't evil or good, but self interested. I see a lot of spiritual beings like wildlife. They can be dangerous but probably not evil for the most part

In my experience the only true evil is from humans because I agree with you...nature is neither good nor bad, it's just a matter of perspective. If you're a planet and you need to cool off then a hurricane is good, if you're a person in the path of the hurricane and it floods your house and takes away your land then it's bad. Nature is not gentle, kind and loving, it is raw and unfiltered and wild and I think humans have a tendency to project the first onto nature (when it's in its calm and ideal to us state) and ignore the latter (often to our detriment...like petting a bison in a park and being surprised when it flips us over its back).

Then I went to read up on how to work with them and I came across all of the fear mongering so called rules and I realized I had broken one - thanking them - but I knew the entire experience was beautiful intuitively and I decided that there’s no way this rule could override my experience… then I found this video and it all makes sense now.

hi Siofra, thank you so much for the video and all the wonderful information you shared with all of us. for the longest time since the beginning of my journey, around ten years ago, I have felt very called to work with the fae and have had many experiences with them, some even from when I was a child, that my parents have told me about. as an adult I have always had my reservations with them because of all the stories people tell. I kept feeling like I wasn't "ready" to take on the responsibility of inviting energy I didn't know into my space/home/craft, since there are so many different opinions about the fae, but I guess that's just a risk we all have to take when working with any kind of energy, not just them. this video has truly inspired me to seek that connection more (that I have already started nurturing by doing some gardening and cleaning around a bit where I live since I live in the Italian countryside) so thank you so much.

I just recently found this channel by my interest of Fae, and knowing the self. Been on a serious magical/spiritual path for 6+ years still developing, but lately I have been able to speak with some Fae/sense them more. In my house I often see glitter sparkling around my altar desk and other random places. Color like orbs shooting from place to another out of thing air. A few years ago with my sister, boyfriend and a friend of mine travelled to a park located in another province in my country where Fae festivals are held yearly. Though we did not go on that specific day, we wanted to go and train our senses, find a connection with the Fae. We saw at night little gnome shadows, multiple of them, shooting running left to right. It was so vivid little humans, but they were shadowy. It was one of my more vivid experiences with them there. Also a tree which did not stand on its usual spot, we sensed a Troll there living in the park, sometimes moving around and camouflaging as a tree not to be seen. I hope to work and communicate with more Fae and learn from them! The world is full of fascination. Thank you so much for making these videos. It's the first time I listen about Fae and not having the usual stigmas around them. I really like hearing these experiences with such free mind.

A few days ago, my grandmother visited her husband's grave Someone put twigs on the grave, she didn't like them very much, so she took them home to throw them away (she could have done it right away but for some reason she took them home) In the evening, she was woken up by voices coming from the kitchen. where she left the twigs she took she went to check who it was and she heard voices coming from the branches!! The discussion was strange and incomprehensible, like two quarreling squirrels :D from a Disney cartoon she threw the twigs out the window and the discussion ended I wonder what it could have been? The spirits of dead people would speak an understandable language and if grandma had something wrong with her head and the voices were only in her head, they wouldn't stop after throwing the twigs out the window

This question is coming in a year later, and it's not necessarily important so much as a thought I had while listening to you: could we find out a lot more about the fae from world cultures that welcomed them and still work with them to some extent probably? What I'm thinking of in particular is the yokai. It seems like we can get a lot of adjacent information from resources discussing yokai, but I'm positive those are very closely guarded, sacred secrets. Which I completely understand. But I do wonder how many resources there actually are out there, but you'd need to be an acolyte of some kind to even know it exists 🤔 The best we can do here is just accept them as they are, and take care of your own environment the best you can to give them the best place possible to live

I find that trying to garner accurate information about their world from human myths and stories is replete with human prejudices and assumptions, no matter the culture, so trying to meet them without expectations and preconceived judgments is our only real chance to begin the process of real communication that will hopefully lead to understanding.

I personally think they're an offshoot of humans. They're related to us in a similar way other homanids are, but they were able to become more magickal and exist in a semi physical way, or some overlapping reality. I think they found a good part of reality to occupy.

@siofrasmagicalcove7293

From a metaphysical point of view the fae are definitely not related to us humans. Humans have 5 elements that compose our being (earth, air, fire, water and spirit). Other physical and spirit life does not contain the fifth element of spirit. That doesn't mean there might not be some physical relationship (though they are no longer occupying our physical reality there are indications that they once did).

They are basically the same. Fae is a word that encompasses more than the standard imagery of tinker bell type fairies.

Paracelsus was supposed to be a Christian. He was also a physician and an alchemist. I had to look this up to refresh my memory but he used the latin word Gnomus, a synonym of pygmaeus. In order to put a name to a race of small people. I believe he explained that God created these nature spirits in order to protect and remind us to be respectful of nature. It's been awhile since I read about this so I could be mixing up other people's opinions in that research. That person should do some more research instead of having that one track mind. Fear is a helluva emotion. Easier to manipulate the mind when in that state I guess.

Christianity reached back in time to explain all that came before them so every being would have its place in their mythological creation of good and evil. It's ironic that they use this as evidence when arguing about their knowledge of the supernatural and otherworldly beings. And yes, it is much easier to keep people in line if they are afraid and think you are their only safe place.
