Faries Quotes

“I could almost see fairies skipping on top of the snake-tongue flames—brief moments of clarity overcome by suffocating normalcy. It occurred to me that everything is believable during a glimpse, and it is during these flashes we see things as they truly are—unruly shadows in the corner of our perceptions. The only way to overcome is to act as Rachael did—as we all should—staring into the brightest light we can manage, until any hint of darkness is burned from our vision.”
― Christopher Hawke, Unnatural Truth

“Do you know what mortal means? It means born to die. It means deserving of death. That’s what you are, what defines you—dying.

Against a prince of Faerie?

“Do different fragrances, mean different things?
“Different fragrances, attract different pollinators but also communicate different forms of love, to all who behold the scent. Scent is not really a thing to know, but to feel and experience. Once you smell a beautiful fragrance, you need not know anything else about it, just feel it. Let the fragrance work its magic on you.”

“What is it when we humans go outside that is good for us, I asked the trees one morning.
“The solution is threefold, one it is the goodness of breathing in fresh and not stale air, this brings in fresh solutions to problems, where you could only come up with stale ones sitting inside. The inspiration of air, emits true inspiration literally and figuratively. Two is the healing effect of the sun, it clears the air of any negative thoughts you have picked up.”
“There is the profound healing effect, of the plants and fairies on the human aura. The fairies’ role is to keep the plant systems and human systems working harmoniously. If anything is out of balance, they make it their duty to clear it. Plus, the healing effect of nature on your senses, eyes seeing all the colours and green of the foliage. Nature’s healing sounds, touch and feelings calms the human body and mind.” – Tree Fairies”

“I asked the trees why it would be that I am so attracted to flowers in particular?
“Flowers carry the love of God and all things in God’s Universe, pure, essential, satisfying love on all levels. Unconditional love and profuse joy for all things, is what flowers display for us. So, it is no wonder that the more sensitive among us are very much drawn to their beauty and grace.”
