"When one defines oneself as Pagan, it means she or he follows an Earth or Nature religion, one that sees the divine manifest in all creation. The cycles of Nature are our holy days, the Earth is out temple, its plants and creatures our partners and teachers. We worship a deity that is both male and female, a mother Goddess and father God, who together created all that is, was, or will be. We respect life, cherish the free will of sentient beings, and accept the sacredness of all creation." ~Edain McCoy

A visit from the Snow Faery

Today we were treated by a visit from the Snow Faeries!

First snow of the season.


I'd like to introduce you to some Snow Faeries:


"We are the Winter Faeries. We contain the ancient energies of all winter beings. While most creatures are in slumber, we are awake and walk quietly amidst the snow. We are elves, gnomes, gossamer winged fairies, Unicorns, Pegasus, pixies, hobgoblins, and animal totems. You see, we inhabit the Faery Realm but come out of our realm and into yours when there is a deep silence upon your world. Such times include the "fairy hour" of 3:00 AM; the times when snow is falling quietly and humans are staying warm inside of their homes; and when a strong storm appears we float amongst the air and over the frozen life on Gaia. If you encounter us amidst these times, you may see us as ORBS of light or in full "faery form". We have a deep warmth within us that keeps us warm no matter how cold the "outer" world may appear to be. We are unaffected by weather, as we ARE the weather itself. We come to you today merely to say "Hello".





Oh! the snow, the beautiful snow,
Filling the sky and earth below,
Over the housetops, over the street,
Over the heads of the people you meet.
Dancing, Flirting, Skimming along.
(J.W.Watson)


There is so much information about the Faery or Fae out there, may I recommend you take a look. Since I am Irish, I would recommend you start with Irish Lore, here, but there are many stories and accounts of Faeries, you will have to find what right for you.

Blessed Be
