‘I was approached in my back yard. The Fairy was checking me out. I had crossed the veil and she was concerned about what I was doing there. Then she recognized me and walked away.’ ‘Fairies are earth based creatures that can and do move between the physical and astral realms.’ ‘I am not able to describe them. It is a knowing in the mind’s eye. I guess they look like hobbits. Hahhaa.’ ‘I learned so much about the Summerland working with the fairies. They are an incredible part of the natural world. It is hard to separate fantasy from a true experience. A person needs to have some training to be able to distinguish the difference between the two.’ ‘Flute notes and bells.’
