Do you believe in faries?

My boyfriend and I was just talking about this last night. We got into a big discussion on Wicca because of a discussion here on mylot. So I asked him about the different Gods, Godesses and symbols and other stuff. He started talking about faries. He thinks he may have seen some out of the corner of his eye on several different occasions. He doesn't drink or do drugs so I doubt he was hallucinating. He wants to do more research into it. I suppose anything is possible.

I have a friend that lives in Yorkshire England! how cool!
(which has nothing to do with the topic.. sorry) just that you live in a beautiful place. lol!

I have never seen faeries.. but I would love to see the pics that your friend took.. perhaps you could post them.
I have never given it much thought if they exist or not, so I would be interested in seeing proof that they really do.

great topic!

yes I do.

and they're not very nice, to be brutally honest.

they steal things, hide things, wind the dogs up.

if you look at pre-victorian fairytales, they are all focused on how to avoid fairies, how to keep them out of your home, and how to keep on their good side (being on their bad side doesn't bear thinking about)


beleif in them is still quite widespread in the westcountry.

I don't believe in things that don't exist, and that includes fairies. The pictures were proven to be fakes, which was pretty inevitable, considering that there was nothing to take real pictures of.

Yes I do EsKaren and yes I know I am away with them
I have just started collecting Fairy things lol I have so many Dolphins now so now it is time to start my Fairy Collection
But yes I do believe in them and no one will tell me different

Why not, everything is possible:-) All theese creatures from the legends are not born simply by the human imagination,may be somebody in the past have seen them:-)

I think the idea of fairies are cute, but not real. They are the product of imagination. They might only exist in the minds... like the tooth fairy that paid for all my daughter's teeth as they fell out when she was a child losing her baby teeth.

I think at one time, belief in these beings were strong enough to cause people to hallucinate they saw them - like Julian Janes said about this phenomenon in his book.. The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind. In this book he cite The Iliad (Homer) and how he (Janes) believed that these people believed in the gods so much that they actually mass hallucinated their presence in Trojan war. Fascinating book if every you fancy reading it. Janes's hypothesis is no different to seeing fairies, IMO.

The two ladies who took pictures of the fairies in Yorkshire recently admitted they had been faked. Apparently their hoax went from strength to strength and they had to go along with it then. I can just imagine two little girls afraid to say they had tricked people in this way? I mean it was all over the nationals, what sort of trouble did they imagine they would be in if they came clean?

I reckon though, that if you want something to exist badly enough, it will. And if as the "masters" keep telling us, ours is the world of illusion, who is to say what is real and what is not.:-)

Yes I do. I had to leave class in Standard 2 (gade 4) due to the teacher telling me I was lying. I believe in Fairies and so does my cat. My fiance is almost convinced simply because some thing happen in my house that can not be explained otherwise.

They also move with me. I don't put out milk or anything like that. I just believe they are here to have some fun (I am also scared they decide to do something in return and that sometimes goes a little haywire).

I'm not wicca and is not interested in the occult and supernatural. But ive already heard of stories from different people from different places regarding fairies.. Fairies here are not the usual small winged human like creature.. Fairies here look like humans but are commonly stunningly beautiful and lives in century old trees which is believed to be just an illusion because those trees are actually mansions in the supernatural world. They are supernatural mentors of healers, witches and sorcerers. They provide sacred incantations to the chosen ones and teach them rituals. I will show you a video which features witches which are guided by the supernatural to their rituals. Its a documentary regarding the sorcerers of the Philippines which are believed to be mentored by fairies and other supernatural beings.

I'm gonna have to say that we are so arrogant to think that us humans are the only one living here on earth. So i believe this beings exist.
