§153

‘I saw a group of six Sidhe, four male, two female, walking through an open field along a narrow foot path in my direction. This was not my first contact with them, so I wasn’t afraid. We exchanged greetings (in Irish), and went each on our way. The last of their company turned around when we were just a few steps passed and asked me if I was so-and-so’s (one of their people) granddaughter. I said I was. She smiled, and said I should visit sometime. Like I said, I and my family have had many contacts with them, of which some have resulted in children. This is a description of one of the brief and most common contacts. Others involve lengthy conversations, which I cannot share.’ ‘Tall, slim, very light skin without blemish, and ageless. Red to strawberry blond hair. All of the half-fairy/half-human people in my family look the same and age very, very slowly.’ ‘Family-related, genetic.’ ‘[Fairies are] a human-like species which once inhabited this world, but now dwells in the nearest Otherworld, i.e. the parallel reality closest to this one.’
