Yes well we haven't looked after the environment
and there are a lot of wealthy philistines who care only about the accumulation of wealth for their own benefit and their values have infiltrated society. It is a worry.
I could go into this in terms of G-dly energy and what we are allowing into our lives but prefer not to here.
We need to be gentle and caring yet practical and down to earth. We are so removed from spiritual matters in some ways it is very sad and very frightening.

There was a movie made recently about the faux fairies; it was very well done. As far as the Wee people go; whether leprechauns or fairies or dwarfs - I've never turned a rock over to find one. Though I've found plenty of beetles and other crawly things. That world is more the provenance of my cousin, Jane, and lots of her author-friends who I had the pleasure to meet at her 70th b'day party a few weeks ago!! Mal

My Czechoslovakian Grandmother loved the little shadow people though she always believed that they stayed behind in Czechoslovakia when she came to America. She told wonderful tales of that were translated to us by our mother. Grandma never became fluent in English.

Either that, or the neighborhood would be full of drunken cats...

I've heard of these girls, and the great kafuffle over their photos
and I bet the real fairies had quite a chuckle over it!

There's a lovely (true) story about a couple of girls who photographed fairies at the bottom of their garden sometime around the beginning of the 20th century. It made the national Press and the whole country (influenced by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle) believed. Important people pronounced the photos genuine and said they couldn't possibly have been faked.
It wasn't until one of the girls, by now grown up and in her eighties, had died, that the other one confessed. They had faked it with dolls and cardboard, but there was so much publicity and wonder that they didn't dare admit the truth and just went along with the national flow!

Ciel, we don't put out milk for them, or bread and butter, but junks of carrot. And we have seen them - from a distance they almost look like rabbits...
