About fairies (Art: by Brian Froud)

About Fairies (Art: By Brian Froud)

fairies are metaphysical and symbolic beings.

In Animism it is believed that any natural element has life, soul and consciousness of its own.

It could be said that one of them are the fairies that are energy found in any natural element and that can also be manifested through it, they do not have a specific physical form but they can take a certain physical form

more specifically that of humanoid since generally this is how we usually associate them in that way by representations in art and folk tales and take the form of what we are famerialized with, which in this case is how we see them or (persist).

Are they good or bad? many believe that there are fairies or Faery beings who are: good and others who are bad.

others: that in reality they are neither good nor bad, rather they have no reasoning that it is good or bad, or rather that they do not know how to differentiate between what is good and what is bad

just like nature which is where they come from.

for some others: they tend to be temperamental so they should be treated with respect and not offend if they are so, they will play practical jokes on you and can "steal" and hide your things or even "reverse" "luck".

the Faerie world and the world of the dead: Fairies are seriously believed to be the spirits of the dead, fairies were dead people, perhaps sometimes dating back to pre-Christian times, and that the land of fairies was a transcendent land of the dead, which, in special circumstances , it could be penetrated by the living.

An ingrained tradition is that fairies are the dead pagans (or perhaps post-Purgatory Christians not good enough for heaven but too good for hell), living in a world of limbo, occasionally coinciding with our own. A story that captures this idea well was compiled by folklorist William Bottrell in Cornwall in the early 1870s.

the fairies taboo :The taboo of fairies are restrictions or prohibitions that are set by fairies and that if they are broken have consequences and These consequences are almost always (although not exclusively) harmful for the human protagonists of the stories.

How to protect yourself from fairies that only want to do harm?putting iron horseshoes since they are believed to protect and ward off evil and it is also believed that it burns and drives away fairies. I want to make it clear that all the information not only refers only to fairies, it also refers to all beings related to fairies such as: elves, nogmos, etc, etc, etc.

Fairy rings or (fairy circle)

Fairy Rings Or (fairy Circle)

the fairy ring or also called fairy circle This is what mushroom vegetation circles are called it can be from Amanita muscaria or any other type of fungus. and it is called a ring or fairy circle because there is where fairies usually gather to dance and celebrate. it is said that fairies can dance "until they drop" and if a human being were to enter said circle. They can make him dance and dance until he dies. Also when you enter you could be trapped in their world and you could not return. So before entering you must take these things into account and be sure before entering. That said, if you are sure to enter, you can put offerings that are to your liking as long as they are natural things such as: stones, flowers and honey. or even milk and bread. this out of respect, to be able to go out and not to offend them.

NORDRI, SUDRI, AUSTRI AND VESTRI

NORDRI, SUDRI, AUSTRI AND VESTRI

In Norse mythology, Norðri, Suðri, Austri, and Vestri (North, South, East, and West) were four dwarves mentioned in Gylfaginning in the Prose Edda. Each of these dwarves held one of the four compass directions. Together, they held up the vault of heaven, created from the skull of the primeval jotun Ymir. They probably also represented the four winds, thus corresponding to the four deer of the cosmic tree Dáinn, Dvalinn, Duneyrr and Duraþrór, which grazed under the branches of Yggdrasil. The myth is comparable to that of the four giants who personified the four winds in Greek mythology

Artifacts

Artifacts🦴🪶

When I create a layout like this, I like to take a moment with each object to think about the life it lived before it came to be in my possession. Each of these small items have traveled and changed throughout time.

Each of bone was once part of a living creature with its own emotions, needs, dreams, and desires. It had thoughts and experiences, and therefore knowledge.

Each of the small plant specimens once grew and thrived in nature. They played an important role in the ecosystem providing food, oxygen, and shelter for many creatures.

Antiques such as the key and tiny clockwork gear have passed through many different hands before finding a home with me. They have years of stories to tell.

Each of these items are special to me for many reasons. What are some of your favorite treasures? Do they have a story behind them? 🌙🌿
