Fairies

Fairies are deeply devoted and connected to Mother Earth. In order to develop fairy vision, you would have to consider the power of imagination. It is not to say that they are of the imagination? It's just that we have forgotten the significance of the imagination, and the mystical reason why it was vouchsafed to us.

Here is a poem that was written by W.B. Yeats

The Enchanted Fairy Isle

To rathlin's Isle I chanced to sail, When summer breezes softly blew, And there I heard so sweet a tale, That oft I wished it could be true. They said at eve, when rude winds sleep,And hushed is every turbid swell, A mermaid rises from the deep, And sweetly tunes her magic shell

And while she plays, rock dell and cave, In dying falls the sound retain, As if some coral spirits gave, Their aid to swell her witching strain. Then summoned by that dulcet note, Uprising to the admiring view, A fairy island seems to float, With tints of many a gorgeous hue

And glittering fanes and lofty towers, All on this fairy Isle are seen; And waving trees, and shady bowers, With more than mortal verdure green. And as it moves, the western sky, Glows with a thousand varying rays, And the calm sea, tinged with each dye, Seems like a golden flood of blaze

They also say, if earth or stone, From verdant Erin's hallowed land, Were on this magic island thrown, For ever fixed, it then would stand; But, when this, some little boat, In silence ventures from the shore, The mermaid sinks, hushed is the note, the fairy isle is seen no more
