There are probably over a million species of animals, mammals, fish, insects, birds, etc. from all over the world catalogued.

So why is there not one single piece of catalogued evidence of these mystical entities? If they do exist, why has not even one been captured, or photographed?

I am just trying to spiral some ideas.

What do you guys think?

I wish I could see them. I am rather smitten with fairies and butterflies. Guess it's the Air in me

I for one wish they were everywhere... I wish I could be a wee Fae. I think I would cause all kinds of mischief. In fact, I'm quite sure of it. I'm pretty mischievous as it is.

Fairies and the such exist within those kingdoms as spirits – elementals in the element kingdoms. And much like the Earth (Mother Earth), they need to be recognized, honored and respected. They, too, help to keep things in balance, on the “unseen” levels.

Here's what occured to me when I read the string. Radio waves have been around forever, but it was only in the beginning of the last century that we detected them. Then we measured them and utilized them. Maybe we haven't learned those steps in this situation yet. And, I agree -- maybe they don't want us to.

Aren't some things just meant to be a matter of Faith?

If all of us could see them, then we wouldn't have Faith.

Faith is the thing that separates us from the Angels.. they don't have Faith, they don't need it.. they Know.

I think the idea is that through our Faith, and by walking a spiritual Path, Gifts will be opened to us. When the time is right, and the Faith is strong, all things will be made clear. And then we will See what we are meant to See, and Know what we are meant to Know.

It's a great adventure... isn't it?

Blessings...

Perhaps because they`re spirit/essence which is elusive to photography.

I wouldn`t discount anyone not seeing them tho. Non-recognition and disbelief would be the culprit here

They fill our gardens, woodlands and homes.

Here is one example:
Linda Goodman proposes that the Earth was once held in gravitational balance between two Suns; that it was completely covered in Light at all times; that Set caused something bad to happen and one of the Suns went out; and after that there was darkness and time.
Tolkien's story tells of two great lamps that the Ainur (think archangels) set at the North and South of the Earth, which kept it completely covered in light; then Melkor (think Satan or Set) overturned them. Also he tells of two great trees that bloomed every day at opposite times, one giving forth silver (moon?) light and the other gold (sun?) light, and that this was the origin of counting time. Suggestive, is it not?

I think that either Tolkien was in possession of some great and long-lost knowledge, or at the very least his subconscious leaked these ideas into his art. What do you think?

I brought this up in this string because of Elves. Maybe Tolkien knew something about them, too? I have not read far enough in the book to say much yet, but so far he says that Elves were Eru's (God's) Firstborn, and Men came after, though he had both of them planned from the beginning. The Elves are immortal, and will live until "the end of days", whereas Men, who were "given strange gifts" (those gifts seem akin to Free Will), live only a short time on the Earth.

Interesting, eh?

P.S.: Thank you for inviting me, Juniper! I hope you will not be sorry.

That is interesting and encourages me to read the book!

I wonder if elementals have free will or just us

What Kind of Fairy Are You?

Wise - A strong mind and intuition for all, you prefer nature to people, it is just has more sense. By looks, some would call you an earth childe or hippe, but your connections go much deeper than those superficial names.

Sexy - Your body is your temple. Playful, and at times childish and ditzy, you can be smarter than you look when you actually try to be. Whatever is fluffy, cute and attracts the opposite sex is on the top of your list.

I have no idea how I got that, LOL. Some people can think I'm a ditz though, until they get to know me.

This was the other test I took a few months ago, sent to me via email:

You are blessed with FAERYwings. Beauty, laughter, life, magic...that's what you are all about. You are refreshingly innocent and happy with your life of purity and play. Life's a game and it's a good one. In your eyes there's no way to lose! You can be very mischeivous and have been known to cause trouble, but it's all in the name of fun and not meant to really harm anyone. You like to play tricks on people who aren't quite as bright or clever as you - which is almost everyone. Nature is the setting you prefer to be in - Always. Barefoot and wild you can't be tamed. You're probably a restless spirit who loves to travel, and quite a dreamer. Your creativity is astounding and your art (of whatever media - from writing to painting to drama) is like something from another world - ethereal and often very fantasy-oriented. You can either be a social butterfly or a loner with their head in the clouds - but rarely inbetween. You stubbornly refuse to accept responsibility or to give in to the wishes of others - unless you feel like it. You have a strong passion for music and can't imagine life without it. You'll grow up someday, but you'll always be a child at heart. You are adventurous and love to take risks, and feel a deep connection with the weather, plants, and animals. You prefer sunshine to thunder or snow, the warmth of summer to autumn's chill, and quiet forests to suburban backyards. Magic through and through, you are far more powerful than you seem, and are capable of being extremely passionate. Though you can be childish, naive, stubborn, and self-absorbed, one thing is certain - life with you will never be boring!

MD from NC 2
(See my other reviews ...) 37 out of 37 people found this review helpful.
This delightful film held an unexpected perspective - an open-minded, open-hearted look at this faith and the people who keep it alive. It is presented in a very straight forward documentary style (which was OK with my 16-year-old but too slow for my 8-year-old) and struck a nice balance between exploration of the spiritual and subconscious aspects as well as the analytical and scholarly. Anthropologists can tell you that almost every culture in the world has a lore or mythology about "little people" or spirits who inhabit wild places. This documentary leaves you wondering if there isn't a strong body of evidence to indicate that there is a REASON for this....

Your wings are BROKEN and tattered. You are an angelic spirit who has fallen from grace for one reason or another - possibly, you made one tragic mistake that cost you everything. Or maybe you were blamed for a crime you didn't commit. In any case, you are faithless and joyless. You find no happiness, love, or acceptance in your love or in yourself. Most days are a burden and you wonder when the hurting will end. Sweet, beautiful and sorrowful, you paint a tragic and touching picture. You are the one that few understand. Those that do know you are likely to love you deeply and wish that they could do something to ease your pain. You are constantly living in memories of better times and a better world. You are hard on yourself and self-critical or self-loathing. Feeling rejected and unloved, you are sensitive, caring, deep, and despite your tainted nature, your soul is breathtakingly beautiful.

If you're tring to add an image, you can't copy/paste. You have to use UUB coding to include the image. If you click on Smiles Legend to the left when you are posting. At the top of that page is a link that says, "FOR AN EXPLANATION OF UBB CODE, CLICK HERE". From there you can figure out how to add images to your posts.
